NovelEnglishChapter 427 Sophie sighed gently. How could a child ever bltheir mother? It was the struggles her mother faced that hurt the most.
"So, how did you sign the divorce agreement? What about the division of assets, custody, all that stuff? The Chase family's loaded; they can't just leave you with nothing and a kid to raise. Raising a child costs money, you know." Sophie's questions cut to the chase, grounded in the harshness of reality.

"He probably won't fightfor custody. As for the assets, I never thought about taking his money." After all those years of marriage, she had never taken his money. Now that they were divorcing, she was even less likely to. Besides, even if she wanted to, would he give it to her? That was doubtful. "Dividing assets in a divorce is all about conscience. If he's willing to give, take it," Sophie advised.
Eliza hadn't given it much thought. If he gave her anything, it would be for Brock's sake, not out of any guilt towards her. Saying you love someone is one thing; actually parting with real money is another. "If it's for Brock, I'll hold onto it for him," she forced a strained smile.
Sophie didn't push Eliza to attend a welcparty their classmates had organized. He figured she needed stto think about her future.
Over the weekend, Eliza was called to Casper's lawyer's office.
"Ms. Eliza, here's your new ID, restoring your former status. Please take a look." As the lawyer handed her the ID, he also gave her a divorce agreement.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEliza took it. The agreement was only two pages long. One page detailed the reason for the divorce: irreconcilable differences, beyond repair. The other listed the division of assets.
A 400-square-meter luxury apartment in the city center, three prretail spaces, a luxury car worth millions, and a hundred million in cash. For Casper, these might be a drop in the ocean, but for Eliza, it was a shock. "Ms. Eliza, if you have no objections, please sign your non the divorce agreement," the lawyer said, ready to address any concerns with Mr. Casper.
Eliza was momentarily stunned by the assets allocated to her. The apartment in Falconridge's best neighborhood, over 400 square meters, valued at over a hundred and ten million. The three retail- spaces in Falconridge's prcommercial area, with primet space bringing in millions in annual rent. Altogether, they could easily generate ten million a year. The car and the hundred million in cash... How could he give her so much? "Mr. Chase, are you sure there's no mistake with the assets allocated to me?" The lawyer, thinking Eliza found it insufficient, quickly added, "Mr. Casper mentioned that if you find the distribution unfair, it can be renegotiated." "No, you misunderstand. It's... too much." It was so much that she hesitated to sign her name. The lawyer adjusted his glasses, puzzled by Eliza's reaction He had handled many vel divorce cases, and usually, theended in bitter fights over
insufficient shares. This was the first e the'd seen someone claim they'd received too much.
"Ms. Eliza, considering Mr. Casper's wealth, you find thisx. too much?"
"The money he earns has nothing to do with me. wouldn't feel right taking it." She was uncertain whether to sign el or not. She guessed that he was giving her so much because he didn't want Brock to have a hard tliving with his less capable mother.
