He was silent for a moment, then finally said, “Alright. Let’s get divorced. I’ll ask my lawyer to finalize the papers tomorrow.” That night, Madison spent her first night in the little studio she rented. When she woke up the following day, she received a call from Ethan’s lawyer, Xander. The two of them agreed to meet at a cafe to talk about the divorce. ” “Ms. Madison, these are the divorce papers Mr. Ethan asked me to draft last night. Please have a look. Madison did not have qualms about any of the terms listed in the agreement, but she could not believe her eyes when she saw how Ethan was planning to divide his assets. “Half of his asset?.” She asked, stunned at Ethan’s generosity. Xander smiled and explained, “Ms. Madison, these are the shared assets between you and Mr. Ethan. Don’t you know that?” Madison frowned. “I know, Mr. Xander, but there must be a mistake.

Are you saying you don’t want his money?” The lawyer asked. “Well, yes.” Madison answered as she bit her lower lip nervously. Xander grew more and more surprised at what Madison was saying. This is the first time in his long career that he’ll meet a wife who is not interested in a nickel from her spouse. “Mr. Xander, I never contributed anything to Ethan’s career, so I don’t think I have the right to any of his financial assets,” Madison explained. With that, she paused momentarily, then added, “I’m sorry to do this, but please draft another contract, Mr. Xander. I agree with all the clauses except the distribution of Ethan’s financial assets. I’d appreciate it if you could alter that for me. Thank you!” Xander was silent for a long time before finally saying, “Ms. Madison, have you even looked at the amount? These are the ten billion dollars we’re talking about. Why won’t you take this money?” In all his years as a lawyer, Xander had thought he had seen it all, but this was the first time he encountered someone who would say no to such an extravagant amount of money. “Of course, I’d like to take it, but they don’t belong to me, do they? I’ve never contributed anything to 20 Half of His Assets Ethan’s career, so why should I be entitled to the money?” 2/3 “Very well, Ms. Madison. I will redraft the papers and send them to you and Ethan. I’m not sure he’ll agree to this new term, seeing as he specified that you got half of everything.” “Don’t worry.
