Chapter 3
“Can you calm down or what? You’re a patient.” Mira was kind enough to give Hugh a hand.
Hugh threw her hand away in a rage. “Get out of here! I’ll have the divorce papers sent to the Boyle’s home tomorrow, and you’d better sign them.”
“All right, I’ll go, but I won’t sign until you transfer the money to my account.”
Mira didn’t want to see a face that was always angry at her. Although he did look good, she could always see good- looking people on TV and on her phone.
“Relax. I won’t give you a penny less.“”
Hugh’s eyes were full of irony. He didn’t get it. The Boyle family wasn’t exactly poor. How come they had such a daughter who loved money more than anything?
“Stop looking at me like that. Our marriage is basically a deal. I can’t just marry you and be divorced while getting nothing out of it, right? I’m not that kind.”
After Mira finished speaking, she left directly, ignoring Hugh’s sullen face.
He smashed everything in the room after she left.
Lucas Yeates, Hugh’s a**istant, came in and was amazed at
the mess. It was the first time he had ever seen Hugh, who had always been aloof and calm, get angry like this,
Lucas wondered what Mira said.
“Go and draw up the divorce papers. I’ll divorce that woman,” Hugh said gloomily.
“OK..”
Lucas wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Yet the same day, Brenden knew about it.
Brenden, who was over 60, came to the hospital. “You can’t divorce Mira.”
“I hate her. The disgust in Hugh’s eyes was more than obvious. “You can marry her if that’s what you want.”
Brenden wanted to beat Hugh to death with his cane. “Mr. Esther said that she could make both you and the Boyle family lucky. With her, you got to live a great life.”
“Since you are so superstitious, I might as well become a monk,” Hugh sneered. “If you ask me, I think the Boyle family gave that Mr. Esther some money. You’d better look into it.”
“Is it true that you almost died back then? Even the doctors said you were hopeless. Yet you woke up right after you married her, didn’t you? I think we should give credit to Mr. Esther’s words.” Brenden then steeled himself. He said, “If you divorce her, I’ll tell your brother to stop treating that woman,”
Murgh’s pupalis, shrank, and he went cold. “Dad…
*’m serious. You know your brother’s skills. If he stops treating her, that woman will never be cured,” Brenden ignored Hugh’s angry gaze and threatened him forcefully.
For a moment, they faced each other in silence.
Then Hugh clenched his fists and bowed his head. “Fine. I won’t divorce her. But I’ll never accept her, let alone like her*
“I hope you mean what you say.”
Brenden snorted and triumphantly walked away with his
cane.
He thought, “I’m your dad. You want to go against me? Stop dreaming.”
Mira was at the Boyle’s home.
She had taken off her wedding dress and changed into simple and comfortable home clothes.
It was evening.
Odin Boyle came back from the company, took off his suit jacket, and gave it to Elle Hearst, a little surprised. “How come you’re back already? Don’t tell me that the Leopold family…
“Odin, Hugh woke up last night and was taken to hospital
overnight. He is now out of danger.” Mira shrugged, “When he saw me this morning, he insisted on divorcing me, I thought that if I stayed there, what if he found out that I wasn’t really your daughter? Our family would be in trouble then. So, I agreed to divorce him. He’ll ask someone to send over the divorce papers tomorrow morning.”
Odin was stunned for a long time before sighing, “Who knows? The words I got were that the doctors had told the Leopold family to prepare for his funeral.”
“It means Mira is lucky,” Elle said in a low voice.”
“She is indeed. If she hadn’t met me, she’d probably still be somewhere goofing around together with her drunk father, “Odin said sarcastically while glancing at Elle.
Elle dropped her head timidly and stopped talking.
Mira couldn’t bear to see Elle, her biological mother, being treated unfairly like this. “Odin, I admit that you have provided for me and Mom a roof over our heads. Yet for so many years, Mom has been dedicated to you, making your life comfy, and managing the place in good order. It hasn’t been easy for her.”
“It hasn’t been easy for her?” Odin felt that he had heard a joke. “She doesn’t have to go anywhere. All she has to do is clean up the place and cook. Whose life is easier than hers?”
Mira wanted to retort, but Elle was holding her back, pleading with eyes to tell Mira to stop.

“Odin, about the $3 mallion doll”
Mira looked at Odin, Warding 145/
Odin’s eyes gleamed with greed is sad, woven? with your mom, and we figured that since you’re spong We won’t be at ease if such a large amount of money wi your hands. I’ll keep it for you for now. You know what? Didn’t you say you wanted to travet? #l give you 5000 dollars, which is enough for a fun trip after your dubtes”
33 million dollars turned into 5000 dollars
Mira smiled coldly deep down.
His greed amazed her.
“Thanks, Odin, for the gesture. Yet i am now 22 years old, and have been good at money management since childhood. I’m not a spender. How about this? If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have made the 33 million dollars in the first place. The money can be said as our joint income, and you can keep most of it. I’ll be happy with 8.3 million dollars. You may keep the rest to yourself”
Mira was unwilling to make such an offer, yet she knew certain compromises could get her more.
Chapter 3
She did some calculations. With this money together with the 8.3 million dollars Hugh was about to give her tomorrow, she could have 16.6 million dollars.
“8.3 million dollars?” Odin was pissed off, and he grinned. “Such a big dream for such a young age.”
Mira said, “You are the one that tells us to dream big.”
Odin was so pissed off. Seeing how ungrateful she was, he narrowed his eyes. “Mira, people should know themselves. You should know that if it were not for the Boyle family, you would never have qualified to marry into the Leopold family.”
Mira wasn’t angry. She smiled sweetly, “Odin, I wouldn’t have married him if it hadn’t been for your upbringing and money. After I divorce him, I’ll be worth less. When you have money, you have confidence. If you aren’t willing, perhaps I’ll have a slip of the tongue tomorrow when Hugh’s lawyer comes by and tell him that I’m not the daughter of the Boyle family…”
Odin’s expression slightly changed, and he turned to Elle angrily. “Get your daughter under control!”
Elle’s face was already nervous and pale.
Mira grinned and said, “She has no control over me.”
“How dare you threaten me?” Odin’s eyes looked so vicious as if he was about to rip Mira apart.
