Divorce Failed My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 148

"They're paid extremely well. So they follow White family rules. That's made clear in the contract."

It was the first time since their marriage that Andres had talked about his family like this.

Maeve tilted her head. "Extremely well? How well?"

Andres didn't hide it. "Three to five times the market rate. Depends on yearly evaluations."

Maeve looked genuinely surprised.

In Aethelburg, a live-in maid in a wealthy household easily made fifteen to twenty thousand a month. Triple that was fifty thousand—executive-level money at a midsize company.

No wonder Remi would swallow humiliation and even lashes just to keep the job.

That kind of paycheck would tempt anyone.

Maeve sighed on purpose. "Back when I worked at a clinic, I made two thousand five hundred a month."

Andres smiled and pulled her into his arms. "Then I'll support you from now on."

Maeve shot back, dead serious, "Women who believe that line usually end up miserable."

"A woman needs the ability to make her own money. If you rely on someone else, who knows if a few years from now you'll be left with nothing."

Andres raised a brow. "Give me examples. Who ended up miserable?"

Maeve: "The internet is full of them."

Andres sighed. "Half the internet is written to stir up a gender war. I didn't think you'd buy into that."

"But I get it. Enough men behave badly that women stop trusting any of them."

He leaned closer. "You should try having a little faith in me. We're supposed to share a bed for the rest of our lives."
