EX-husband Groveling to Me

Chapter 5 She Didn't Ask Me for a Penny

Austin did not have a good day. He originally thought that his divorce from Suny was a good happy

event for him.

However, not long after the news of their divorce broke, he received a spate of calls from his friends on

his mobile phone.

The calls invariably began with, "Austin, did you really divorce Suny?"

There was nothing difficult about this question, he didn't want to hide his divorce from Suny, not to

mention the fact that he couldn't hide it from her after that incident this morning.

Austin gave an honest and high-handed answer, "Yes."

The person on the other end of the line drew a sharp breath: "My goodness, this silly woman has finally

given up on you? Austin, for a moment, I don't know whether to congratulate you or pity you. It's hard to

find a woman like Suny in our circle, she's full of you! She's just bit stupid, bit poor, bit gold-digging, but

it doesn't seem to be a bad thing."

Austin, who had expected to wait for a congratulations, "???"

What kind of fucking friends were these?

The point was that there was more than one such friend, and after Austin had received three such calls

in a row, his face was as gloomy as the sky in an impending storm.

However, the divorce with Suny brought him more than that. He had just finished dealing with the

phone calls from those gloating friends who were watching a good show, Ivan suddenly told him that

Grace was here.

With the internet making such a big deal about his divorce from Suny, Grace surely would come.

When she found out that Suny and Austin had really divorced, Grace's face was covered with joy on

the way here, but when she saw the hot search, she wasn't so happy anymore.

How did this Kevin get involved with Suny?

He also said that he had a crush on Suny for many years, and although he knew that it was impossible

for the two of them, he still wished every day that Suny would jump out of that fire pit of the Johnson

family. Now that she had jumped out, Kevin, as a former crush and now a good friend, felt very happy. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

But in just a few words, Grace savoured several layers of meaning from them.

The joy on her face was gone for a moment and she rushed straight into Austin's office, "Austin, tell me

the truth, did Suny divorce you because she cheated on you?"

Although the three years of marriage to Suny were a sham, no man wanted to be cheated.

Austin's face instantly went cold: "Mom, what are you talking about?"

Grace was cursed by Suny a few days ago, and now that she had seen the internet saying that their

family was a fire pit for abusing Suny, and that her own son was likely to be cheated, she could not

clam down.

"Look for yourself! One minute you're out of the civil service and the next minute this woman's suitor is

picking her up! Who knows if they've been seeing each other for a long time! Our family can't afford to

be bullied like this!"

Austin returned from the Civil Affairs Bureau and met to sign papers, anticipating that the news of his

divorce from Suny would explode on the Internet, but he hadn't expected it to do so.

After he saw the phrase "secretly in love with Suny for many years", it was as if something had stabbed

him in the heart. For a moment, he also wondered if Suny had already fallen in love with this man when

she suddenly divorced herself so readily.

But it was only for a moment. Even if Austin didn't like Suny, he knew that she was being instructed by

Grace to do everything, so there was no way she would have time to cheat on him.

"Mom, Suny and I have already divorced, a peaceful divorce, she didn't ask for anything, from now on

we'll just pretend this person doesn't exist, you'd better read less these entertainment news."

Grace was so angry, of course, not only because of this hot search, she thought Suny was willing to

divorce, must have got a lot of money from the Johnson family, but now Austin was telling her that

Suny didn't want anything.

She was a bit incredulous: "She didn't ask for anything? Wasn't she in our family for three years just for

the money? Now that she is willing to divorce you, how can she not want anything?"

Austin didn't want to deal with Grace anymore, so he directly dialed the internal line and called Ivan in,

"Show the divorce papers to my mother."

After saying that, he picked up his jacket from the side and got up to leave straight away.

Grace looked at his back and called out, "Hey, Austin, you're not going home with me for dinner?"

"I have something to deal with."

Austin seldom returned to the Johnson family’s villa, one because Suny was there, and two because

his relationship with Grace was not as good as the outside world saw it.

Back at the flat, Austin's ears finally cleared.

A full day of busyness had left him without much thought about his divorce from Suny, and he had only

gone this morning purely to see what Suny was trying to play again.

He did not believe that she would divorce, just like Elijah Brooks said, Suny the woman worshipped

gold, but she loved him.

She was greedy, she wanted money and him, so she would not divorce so easily.

So he went there without even taking the agreement she had brought over that day, not wanting the

first thing she did when she saw him to be handing him another identical agreement.

To be honest, he was actually a bit confused at that time, he did whatever Suny said, and by the time

he reacted, the divorce papers were in his hand.

Oh, now it was inside the pocket.

Austin took out the divorce certificate from his pocket, which was still the same red colour, but the

words "marriage certificate" had changed to "divorce certificate".

He inexplicably felt the sting and raised his hand and threw it into the waste basket not far away.

The mobile phone at one side suddenly rang, Austin inclined his head to look at it, with no intention to

answer it at all.

But the other side was happy to do so, and calling again and again.

He touched his phone with a sullen look and glanced at the caller ID, his face getting even worse:

"What is it?"

The phone call was from Elijah Brooks, who had only gloated in the afternoon and called again only

two hours later. Austin really couldn't think of what else Elijah Brooks could do besides further ridiculing

him.

"What, not coming out for a bachelor party?"

"Get lost."

He didn't want to talk to Elijah Brooks, he cursed and planned to hang up, but Elijah Brooks on the

other end of the phone suddenly spoke, "By the way, I'm at Suny's bachelor party. Your ex-wife is really

generous, she has paid for all the drinks on the ground floor of the banquet today, which is quite a lot of

your hard-earned money, right?"

Austin frowned, "She didn't ask me for a penny."

"......"

This time it was Elijah Brooks' turn to be shocked, who in the whole of J City did not know how much

Suny worshipped money.

When Grace fainted, Suny happened to come across her and sent her to the hospital. When Austin

asked her what she wanted in return, she asked for 10 million, but when Austin said yes, she said 100

million.

At that time, some one took a video and posted it online, Austin's face went dark, but this woman still

didn't know enough, and came up with a sentence: "I want you to marry me."

One hundred million was no longer enough to satisfy Suny, she was looking at Austin's stature.

The two had been married for three years, but they never had sex, the circle inside were laughing at

Suny, originally thought that once the two divorce, Suny would take a few billion from Austin's hand.

But now Austin said she didn't ask for a single penny.
