Chapter 30\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSince you\u2019ve made your choice to leave, then do it. I have a secret stash of savings here in my accounts totaling up to 50 thousand dollars. I\u2019ve saved it for you all this time. It\u2019ll last you a decent while if you spend it wisely. These old bones can still work. I\u2019ll find another\u00a0<\/p>\n
housekeeping job after heading back,\u201d Jolene said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Juliet\u2019s tears fell without warning.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Very few people had thought that her decision to give up on Asher and that life of luxury was a good one.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The sudden feeling of being understood soothed Juliet\u2019s wounded heart. She dove into Jolene\u2019s chest and burst into tears.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After consoling Juliet, Jolene went to cook them both a meal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Juliet then recalled the matter of the bank card.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMom, Asher transferred 1.5 million dollars to that bank card ending in 0817. Is it with you right now?\u201d Juliet asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jolene frantically set her pan down. \u201cWhat? Oh no! Your father is using that card! He even linked his phone number to that account. He must\u2019ve found out about the cash by now. Damn that old geezer for not saying anything!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Juliet sighed. There was no way she could get that money back now that her father had it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll go to the bank later to see if I can report it missing and get the money back,\u201d Juliet said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her only concern right now was whether James had used that card.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A curious expression appeared on Jolene\u2019s face. \u201cWas the money transfer recent? If Asher gave\u00a0<\/p>\n
that money, does that mean he doesn\u2019t want to go through with the divorce?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
you\u00a0<\/p>\n
Juliet hummed in assent. \u201cAsher has been refusing to sign our divorce papers. But I really can\u2019t bear to stay with him anymore. I feel awful every time I see him tending to Evangeline\u2019s needs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAsher is a handsome man, just like your father. They have women hot on their heels even though they\u2019re married,\u201d Jolene commented. She then said, \u201cWhy don\u2019t you just remain as Mrs. Greene? That way, you can use Asher\u2019s money and body for your own needs.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Juliet was left speechless. She suddenly felt like her mother was making a lot of sense.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But after being slapped hard in the face by reality for the past few days, Juliet just wanted to retain any sense of dignity she had left. So, she shook her head.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI have to get back to work now. I\u2019ll hold off your father and the rest of the Stones,\u201d Jolene\u00a0<\/p>\n
said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She then sighed and added, \u201cJames and Asher spoiled them too much. You don\u2019t need to do the same. Just let me know if they come to trouble you again. At most, I\u2019ll just divorce your\u00a0<\/p>\n
father.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHuh?\u201d Juliet exclaimed. \u201cHow can you sleep with Dad if you divorce him?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jolene winked playfully. \u201cJames is getting old. Handsome as he is, I\u2019m a bit tired of seeing that same old face in my bed every time. I\u2019ve learned quite a bit from those online love gurus. Once James has spent all his money, all I need to do is wave a little cash in his face for him to behave.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Juliet exclaimed in shock several times. Jolene had truly upturned Juliet\u2019s worldview today.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Who would\u2019ve thought that someone as young as Juliet would end up being more conservative than her 40-something-year-old mother?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you gawking at? When you\u2019re rich and have learned to be careful with your money, you\u2019ll have tons of handsome young men flocking to you. Back when James wasn\u2019t working for the Greene family, he\u2019d always \u2018service\u2019 me well every time I went back home,\u201d Jolene said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She then looked at the time and said, \u201cAlright, I\u2019ll be off now. I\u2019ll come over tomorrow to drop off some food for you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Juliet gazed at her mother, who was still in pretty good shape, given her age.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She strongly suspected that Jolene had already experienced being flirted with by other\u00a0<\/p>\n
handsome men.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow much money can your pride bring you? You\u2019re better off getting more cash from the divorce. Once you leave Asher and start a new life with your baby, you can find a new man to\u00a0<\/p>\n
be with.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Juliet suddenly realized that men like James would never need to worry about not having any money to spend-not as long as they were bold enough to make a move, anyway.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was true that James was a kept man, yet all his family members held him to high regard because of this quality of his.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Juliet felt like she\u2019d been locked in an ivory tower ever since she married into the Greene family. She\u2019d never suffered much hardship under Asher\u2019s care for the past 15 years, save for\u00a0<\/p>\n

some gossip about how she didn\u2019t deserve this luxury.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Juliet used to not dare to simply use the Greene family\u2019s assets for fear that Amanda might think Juliet was just a gold digger. But after Jolene\u2019s guidance today, Juliet saw that she\u2019d really been a little too \u201cinnocent\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ariane called her over the phone just then.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI quit! That stupid egghead got all handsy with me, so I smashed his head in with my keyboard!\u201d Ariana roared angrily the moment the call was answered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
