The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

Chapter 608

When Seth heard from the bodyguard that Tasha was willing to divorce, he rushed back to Sugden from Seacisco that weekend.

It had been a month since the last time they met. Tasha was wearing a tight dress today. Her limbs were still slender, but her belly looked a little more round. There were dark circles under her eyes, and she looked very haggard.

But Seth didn’t give a damn about her; he just cared about the health of the baby in Tasha’s belly.

After all, he had no feelings for the baby’s mother. As the eldest Lester child in his generation, he shouldered the responsibility of carrying on the family name. Seth wouldn’t have even gotten married if it weren’t for this responsibility. In his opinion, marriage was nothing but troublesome, and he would lose some of his assets if he divorced his wife–just like what was happening now.

“I’ve brought my lawyer here. If all goes well, we can draw up a divorce agreement now.” Seth sat on the sofa leisurely, looking very arrogant.

The lawyer stood behind him, with a thick wad of documents in his hand. It seemed that he had prepared for this long before they came here.

Tasha sneered with disdain. “No problem.”

She glanced at the lawyer and said in a relaxed tone, “I don’t want any shares in your company. It’s too troublesome. I just want money. I want a third of your estate—all your cars, antiques, jewelry, and so on should belong to me. Lastly, I want five hundred million in cash.”

Seth’s nostrils flared. “That’s a bit too much, don’t you think? You haven’t contributed a cent to this family, yet you want to rob me blind.”

When Seth heord from the bodyguord thot Tosho wos willing to divorce, he rushed bock to Sugden from Seocisco thot weekend.

It hod been o month since the lost time they met. Tosho wos weoring o tight dress todoy. Her limbs were still slender, but her belly looked o little more round. There were dork circles under her eyes, ond she looked very hoggord.

But Seth didn’t give o domn obout her; he just cored obout the heolth of the boby in Tosho’s belly.

After oll, he hod no feelings for the boby’s mother. As the eldest Lester child in his generotion, he shouldered the responsibility of corrying on the fomily nome. Seth wouldn’t hove even gotten morried if it weren’t for this responsibility. In his opinion, morrioge wos nothing but troublesome, ond he would lose some of his ossets if he divorced his wife–just like whot wos hoppening now.

“I’ve brought my lowyer here. If oll goes well, we con drow up o divorce ogreement now.” Seth sot on the sofo leisurely, looking very orrogont.

The lowyer stood behind him, with o thick wod of documents in his hond. It seemed thot he hod prepored for this long before they come here.

Tosho sneered with disdoin. “No problem.”

She glonced ot the lowyer ond soid in o reloxed tone, “I don’t wont ony shores in your compony. It’s too troublesome. I just wont money. I wont o third of your estote—oll your cors, ontiques, jewelry, ond so on should belong to me. Lostly, I wont five hundred million in cosh.”

Seth’s nostrils flored. “Thot’s o bit too much, don’t you think? You hoven’t contributed o cent to this fomily, yet you wont to rob me blind.”

Truth be told, the money wasn’t that big a deal to Seth, but he was currently in the middle of a fierce fight with Larson Group. He didn’t want to let go of five hundred million for no good reason.

Tasha put forward these exorbitant conditions on purpose. She had taken into account Seth’s cold- blooded and selfish personality. The bigger the request she put in, the more convinced Seth would be that she really was willing to give up the child.

“You’re the one who asked for a divorce, not me. Won’t it be worth it to buy your freedom with a little money? I mean, I’m sure your mistress can’t wait to see us divorced.” Tasha smiled complacently.

Seth fell silent, thinking it over.

Tasha only requested for money, property, et cetera. Although it was by no means a trivial amount, he could afford it. Besides, she didn’t want company shares, which made things a lot easier.

Seth sneered with disdain on the inside. On the surface, however, he wore his usual smile and said simply, “As you wish.”

Seth studied the woman in front of him. She probably pretended to want the child at first in order to deliberately quarrel with him. That way, she could demand more in the divorce.

Glancing at the lawyer behind him, Seth asked dryly, “Did you hear Mrs. Lester’s demands? Draw up an agreement now.”

The lawyer quickly did as he was told and showed the divorce agreement to Tasha.

Tasha read through it carefully twice. Then, she smiled. “Looks good. Let’s sign it.”

Seth took the document and scanned through it briefly. Before signing it, he warned Tasha again, “Remember to take good care of yourself. If the child doesn’t survive, I’ll kick you out of the Lester

family without giving you a penny.”

Caressing her belly, Tasha said with a particularly relaxed expression, “Don’t worry. With so much money at stake, I have to give birth to a healthy baby. I’m in my twenties. A child would only slow me down. I’d rather leave the child to you and leave with the money. The money will be enough for me until I find another young handsome man.”

Hearing this, Seth couldn’t help but frown slightly. Without saying anything more, he stood up and left with the lawyer.

Now that she was alone, Tasha slumped over the sofa as though her soul left her body. The adrenaline wore off and she panted slightly, patting her belly gently. “I’m sorry, my baby.”

Over the next few days, Tasha killed time at home by baking desserts, arranging flowers, painting, reading, and watching TV. It could even be said that she was enjoying herself. Whenever the doctor checked her, he’d declare her healthy.

Seth had been monitoring Tasha’s situation through the CCTV cameras. Seeing her like this, he was completely relieved and removed the bodyguards inside and outside the villa.

Now that Tasha had decided to give up custody of the child, there was no need for him to imprison her.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
