Read Chapter 1451 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat
Yvette refused to let go of gossip.
“What happened? Did Aunt Fiona break you two up?”
Lance’s eyes looked amused when he heard Yvette’s words.
“My mother used the old-fashioned way. My ex took a sum of money and left.”
Yvette snorted and shook her head. “Tsk tsk… It is quite vulgar. If she stayed with you, she would’ve had all your money. If I were her, I’d never leave so easily!”
She could only say that Lance’ s ex-girlfriend was too shallow.
Lance raised his eyebrows and lifted his eyelids to look at Yvette like he was extremely interested in her.
“Will you persist?”
“Of course! One has to cast a long line to catch a big fish!”
Lance’s smile deepened. “Ms. Quimbey, you sure have great foresight…”
Yvette paused and felt a little embarrassed that she just used herself as a comparison.
She immediately changed the subject.
“But why aren’t you sad? Why didn’t you resist or quarrel with Aunt Fiona?”
Lance looked at her with calm eyes as he smiled and shook his head.
“Those are things that only children do. Why should I be unreasonable? No one can stop her if she wants to leave me. The conditions my mother offered are too attractive, so I have nothing to say.”
Lance was indeed not sad about it. Rather, he had long felt that this unequal relationship was a burden he had to carry.
He was actually relieved that his ex-girlfriend left.
Lance could not abandon his ex-girlfriend halfway through due to morals, casual self-restraint, and his good impression of her back then even though this good impression had faded away when he got to know her better.
However, Lance did not treat his ex poorly. If Fiona had not stepped in, he felt that he would have gotten married. It would just be dull and restrained.
Lance could not bring himself to tell the woman who was infatuated with him that he did not love her.
Fiona’s appearance was like a timely rain that saved him from this fire.
To outsiders, this was just a superiority contest of the gentry for the perfect match.
They sympathized, joked, and said that true love was priceless, but in the face of interests, it was not worth mentioning.
Only Lance felt that it was too heavy to carry this emotional burden, so he was happy to put it down.
These words resounded in Yvette’ s heart and made her feel ashamed.
Those were what Yvette would do. She would be sad, defiant, and quarrel with her mother, so much so that it was already routine.
To Lance, these were seen as childish acts.
If it was before, Yvette would not hesitate to retort, but now, there seemed to be some truth to it.
Yvette had to admit that she had a rebellious mentality at first when she gave it all up to be with Sean Moore.
It turned out that her mother was right. Thinking about it, Yvette got a little sad.
She sniffled and noticed that Lance was staring at her with an amused look.
Lance did not expect that his story would stir up so many emotions in this lady.
Was it that interesting?
Yvette immediately reacted and subconsciously opened her mouth to ask.
“Then how much did Aunt Fiona give her?” Lance was stunned and laughed.
Looking at his smile, Yvette touched her nose and thought that Lance should have been sad.
Lance stretched out five fingers. Yvette said, “Ss million?” Lance shook his head.
Yvette asked again,“ Ss o million?”
Lance still shook his head.
Yvette was shocked and suppressed her emotions.
“$500 million?”
Only then did Lance retract his hand and he nodded.
His face was expressionless, without any sadness or grief.
It was as if this matter was not enough to make his emotions fluctuate.
Yvette gulped. Although she knew that the Sheldon family was influential, she had never heard of someone paying off a woman with $500 million.
