Chapter 25
Juliet’s doorbell rang the next day. Her heart lurched as she thought it might be Zachary
outside her door.
But after glancing out the peephole, Juliet saw that it was just Jesse, Asher’s assistant. There was a stiff and practiced smile on Jesse’s face as he gazed at the peephole.
Juliet didn’t want to open the door for him. She was about to text him to leave when-
“Mrs. Greene, it’s me, Jesse.” Jesse leaned against the door as if having anticipated Juliet’s reaction. He even waved at the peephole in a friendly manner. “Mrs. Greene? My most gracious lady, the most beautiful and most divine of her name-please open the door!”
Juliet was left speechless by Jesse’s little display.
Not wanting her neighbors to complain about the spectacle, Juliet opened the door in the end.
Jesse slipped into her apartment and swiftly blocked the door with his shoulder, keeping it open. He then waved in the direction behind him.
Half a dozen men with toolboxes and blueprints instantly flooded into the apartment.
One began measuring the living room’s width with a measuring tape, while another took out some color cards and began comparing the shades with the walls. Meanwhile, a bespectacled interior designer began taking photos of the apartment interior.
“The wall structure can be modified. Once we knock this wall out, we can open up the kitchen
area more.
“The lights in here are too dim. We can swap them for AI-powered ambient lights instead.
“Based on the measurements of the interior, Izzalian minimalist decor would maximise the sense of space. We can install some slab walls on this side too, since we have an unlimited budget.”
Juliet’s brows furrowed together. “What on Earth are you doing, Jesse?”
“Mr. Greene instructed me to get you an interior designer to help you refurbish the apartment –based on your preferences, of course,” Jesse said with a chuckle, “There’s no need to settle for less even if you’re living on your own.”
Juliet huffed.
If Juliet used Asher’s money to renovate her apartment, wouldn’t this space naturally become

part of his domain down the line?
“No one’s settling for less here. Better to live in my little hovel than in a gilded cage of someone else’s making. Now stop it, all of you!” Juliet snapped.
Her shrill voice made everyone halt in their movements.

When the men still refused to leave, Juliet took out the divorce papers she’d kept in a cupboard in the foyer. She then shoved it into Jesse’s hands.
“Have Asher sign this, and we’re even. Tell him I’m giving him seven days to sign this. If he still refuses by the end of the seventh day, I’ll get a lawyer to deal with him,” Juliet said.
Jesse felt incredibly overwhelmed by the weight of the document in his hands. He nearly fell to his knees in response.
He then hurriedly called for the designer and his team to leave.
“Oh, my dear Mrs. Greene-please don’t make things so hard for me.” Jesse’s face had contorted in despair.
“I’m just a messenger. Please spare a simple peasant like me from the fallout of your and Mr Greene’s war. Mr. Greene has been out of it for days. He got distracted during meetings and even signed the wrong documents several times.
“Mr. Greene lost a lot of weight too! He’s only a shadow of the handsome and domineering man he used to be. Please, Mrs. Greene. Mr. Greene may be stubborn with his words, but he actually deeply cares about you,” Jesse said in a pleading tone.
Any tears shed by him right now would just be icing on the cake.

“Mr. Greene cares about you, Mrs. Greene. Look-he even transferred some cash to you for fear that you might be struggling out here on your own. It was initially 500 thousand dollars, but then he added another one million yesterday! You have a total of 1.5 million dollars in that account right now!” Jesse cried.
There was no emotion in Juliet’s expression right now. “Transferred some cash to me? I’m pretty sure he sent that to Evangeline, because I haven’t seen a single cent in my account.”
“That’s impossible!” Jesse cried. He took out his phone in a panic to verify the account information. “Mr. Greene transferred the money to your card, the one ending with 0817!”
0817-17th of August, Asher’s birthday.
Only then did Juliet recall that she did, in fact, possess said card.
When Juliet’s parents had wanted to join a partnership to start a business, they’d found that
their bank and bad a transfer limit. Since fullet had two cards, she gave the one the rarely used
the one she gave here to her parents.
She early forget about that
that card is with my parents right now,” she said.
