"Miss Daly, please rest assured. You will be the one raising Little Karen, but Director Kevin will provide alimony and financial support every month." This was York Tanner's answer.
"What? Alimony? Who wants his money?" Karen shouted angrily, attracting unwanted attention from the people around her.
She was a strong and independent woman. She could easily earn a living for herself and her child. What she wanted to know was, what was Kevin Kyle thinking?
Did he think of Little Karen as an object'?
An object that he could just kick around?
The reason why she wanted him to take care of Little Karen was that she believed that Little Karen had a deeper relationship with him. How could he ask her to take away this precious child that they brought to the world so callously?
And this was Little Karen they were talking about!
"Miss Daly, we are just passing on Director Kevin's words. If you have any further questions, please ask him personally." York said politely.
At the thought of confronting Kevin personally, Karen hesitated.
What could she ask him?
When she proposed the divorce, he didn't ask or say anything. She was worried that his answers and responses would be the same now.
She was thinking of leaving Little Karen to him, because he was the most important person to the child. But it appeared that he didn't even want her. If that was the case, then she would raise Little Karen on her own!
Karen took a deep breath, "Attorney Hudson, didn't you ask for me to sign the agreement with Director Kevin in the private room? Why aren't you leading the way yet?"
She was the one who wanted the divorce. Why would she be unsatisfied if Kevin agreed without objections?
"Yes, Miss Daly, this way please!" Attorney Hudson walked ahead of Karen to lead the way.
Karen was about to follow suit, but suddenly, she heard York whispering in her ear, "Mrs. Kyle, you're familiar with Kevin's temper. If you had a fight, you just need to say a few nice words to him, and it will be alright."
As an assistant, he should not be meddling in his boss's personal issues, but if he did not help the situation, his life would be tougher from now on!
Their Director Kevin was terrifying today. He wasn't aggressive nor he was loud, but he seemed to have become the cold person he used to be a few years ago.
Director Kevin was truly terrifying.
Just when they couldn't understand why the director was acting this way, he had asked them to draft a divorce agreement.
Then everyone knew what the problem was.
It must have been about his wife!
Everyone who worked with Kevin knew that he viewed his wife as someone who was larger than life. Now that he was talking about a divorce, something big must have happened.
"Thank you for your kindness!" Karen thanked him and caught up with Attorney Hudson.
In the private room, not only were their servants, there were even snacks and drinks on the table. Even when getting a divorce, the wealthy received special treatment.
Kevin was sitting on the sofa. He had put his legs up while holding a cigarette. As he saw Karen coming in, his expression did not change but he subconsciously put the cigarette out.
Attorney Hudson reported to him, "Director Kevin, Miss Daly has read the agreement, and she has no objections. Now you just have to sign the agreement, and you can go proceed with the divorce."
"No. I have an objection. I do not need any alimony or support from you." Karen looked at Kevin, but he ignored her.
