Gorgeous Couple’s Sweet Love novel Chapter 15

A harsh, exaggerated voice came from behind, my heart sank, and I turned around to see Charlotte!

It was disgustingly interesting that Steve's mistress arrived even before Steve did for his own divorce.

I rolled my eyes and took Benjamin's hand in. She followed and said slowly: "Steve has already promised me that he will marry me when you two get divorced."

Charlotte laughed at my failure while showing off.

Benjamin's footsteps stopped, I took his hand tightly, shook my head and said, "There's no need. Just get it over with."

He turned his head to look at me, silent.

Benjamin's silence generally meant approval.

He and I were sitting on the chairs in the corridor of the City Hall, but Charlotte stood on the side and kept talking on the phone. After waiting for about half an hour, Steve hurried to the City Hall.

"Why are you here?" Steve glanced at Benjamin and asked, then took out his marriage certificate from his pocket and said, "Let's go in."

The tone was blunt and indifferent.

Not the tenderness of when we married.

I looked at Benjamin, whose head was slightly tilting to the side, and he did not pay attention to Steve like he didn't last time.

I knew that he disdained men like Steve. He disdained him so much that he didn't even want to waste his time looking at him.

I was silent, staring at Steve standing in front of me, and asked with last hope: "Steve, do you really want to take everything?"

Hearing my words, Steve's face turned gloomy for an instant, and Charlotte on the side immediately ran over and fiercely roared, "You f*cking ungrateful b*tch. We are already generous enough to not sue you for cheating. What else do you want? Don't forget what we've got on you."

I didn't know whether Charlotte was still bluffing about what they'd got on me or it was just because she was too stupid a b*tch that Steve didn't want to tell her about what Benjamin had done.

Charlotte was a crazy b*tch. When I was in the company, I knew she had such a temperament, so now I didn't want to waste my time on her. I only looked at Steve.

The man who was still my husband by law.

Steve's expression was a little hesitant, but it was only a moment, and then he resolutely said, "Emma, there's no need to make a scene here. Let's just get it over with."

I was making a scene?

From the beginning to the end, I never thought about making a scene. But his attitude had never been good to me.

I got up and took Benjamin's hand. He looked at me with puzzled eyes, and his indifference and mockery were still in his eyes.

Yes, he mocked me for wanting to get Steve's pity; he mocked me for still giving Steve a chance.

"Mr. Dunn, I want to settle something with you first," I explained.

Charlotte stopped me and said: "Is this another one of your tricks?"

Benjamin turned his head and glanced at her faintly. Even though Charlotte was stupid, she knew what danger looked like.

And the most threatening danger now was lying right in Benjamin's pupils.

Even when I looked at it, I was frightened. Charlotte shut up immediately. I took Benjamin's hand to the corner and said directly: "Steve won't give me any property. I just want to draw a line with him for the time being and get a divorce like you said, but... Mr. Dunn, can I ask you something now?"

Benjamin asked lightly: "What is it?"

"Please write me an IOU for one million yuan..." Benjamin looked at me with his head slightly lowered and his eyes puzzled. I thought about it and explained: "I am a major of law. If I have any debts, it would be a common debt bore by both me and Steve. This is my last way to force him to give up the property. Can you help me?"

According to Article 24 of the Judicial Interpretation II of the Marriage Law, the debts that existed between husband and wife were borne by both parties even after divorce.

Obviously, Benjamin knew this law. He raised doubts and asked: "How can you prove that this is the loan of both you and him as a... couple? I know you got a plan so you might as well just tell me."

He paused when he said the word "couple".

I bit my lip and said in a panic: "I paid for 70% of the money spent on the decoration of the house. I can say that the money was borrowed from you. I don't know if it is any kind of binding but this is my only way."

That was my only legal way, at least.

Benjamin heard what I said, and stretched out his hand and rubbed my head disapprovingly said: "Emma, I said I will help you recover your property, so now you only need to complete the divorce procedures with him."

Benjamin didn't want me to do unnecessary things.

"Benjamin, even if it doesn't restrain him, it will cause him pressure. This does not do any harm to me." Fearing that he would not agree, I suddenly said anxiously: "You don't need to give me a million, I just need you to write me an IOU."

At that time, I didn't expect that when I asked Benjamin for an IOU, Steve had set up a trap for me long ago.

Steve had already used our house as a guaranty and borrowed millions from a loan shark.

"For no reason, you let a man who is a stranger write you an IOU, and you don't ask him for cash." Benjamin paused and asked indifferently: "Emma, how much do you trust me?"

There was actually a hint of expectation in his words.

Benjamin looked at me with dark eyes. I smiled and took out a pen and paper from my bag and said, "After all, you are now my only card to play for revenge so I can only trust in you."

Benjamin snorted coldly at my words, took the pen from my hand, and wrote the words on it. I took it back and put it back in my bag.

When I put it back, Benjamin said amusingly, "You prepared all of this last night but you waited till now for me to sign it. Guess you still had some hope in that b*stard."

Yes, Benjamin was right.
