My Ex Wants It After the Divorce novel Chapter 4

Jack asked curiously: "Who could it be?’’

They were not used to receiving guests, so his interest was piqued, and as soon as he opened the door, he found a man dressed in an elegant suit.

"Excuse me, does Miss Liana Legrand live here?”

"Yes, she does, but who are you? What do you want with my sister?”, Jack asked, and the man smiled.

"Excuse me, I am Tony, Mr. Edward White's personal assistant, and the president has asked me to deliver something to her, is she home by any chance?" The moment Tony revealed that he worked for the White Family, Jack's expression faded. However, his good manners still compelled him to say.

"My sister isn't feeling very well at the moment, but please come in," he said, making room.

"Thank you.”

The horrible acoustic protection of the walls of their apartment and the tight overall space of the apartment meant that Liana could hear their conversation, even if she was inside her room.

Their apartment had only two bedrooms and a living room, although the living room was barely large enough to fit the few pieces of furniture they had.

Jack led Tony into Liana's room, where a sickly Liana was slumped against the headboard of her bed, and Tony's measured expression slipped for a moment to reveal his shock. He couldn't believe that the frail"looking woman in the room was the same woman he had served as his boss's wife and the mother of their child, and his temporary shock was quickly covered by his good training, and he respectfully presented Liana with a check.

" Miss Legrand, how nice to see you again! " he said in greeting. " President White asked me to bring this to you, and said that it always belonged to you, and asked you to accept it wholeheartedly. " Tony held out his hand toward Liana, and before she even laid eyes on his hand, she knew that it was a check for at least two million dollars, after all, Edward must have found out that she had rejected the check for help so that she could start her life over, and since she had rejected it three years ago, she would reject it now.

" Thank you Tony for coming all this way, but tell your boss that I'm grateful for this, but I can't accept it, and tell him he doesn't owe me anything, so don't worry. " Liana replied with a certain nonchalance, which surprised Tony with her reaction.

"Aren't you even going to see how much the check is for?", he asked, and she gave him a weak smile.

" It's two million dollars, right? ", She asked.

" Yes! ", Tony's shock only deepened, after all, she already knew the amount of money that was on that check, and clearly her situation was necessary, yet she rejected it without even thinking twice?

Liana noticed the confusion in Tony's mind, so she added.
