?Chapter 6:


    Connor found Marissa quite fascinating; she was as mysterious as the ocean’s depths. Despite closely observing her behavior and listening to her words, he remained puzzled by her. He couldn’t help but look her over once more. Marissa, in turn, closely watched his reactions


    With a calm demeanor, she said casually, “Although our marriage was not by mutual agreement, it is nheless legally binding, registered at the City Hall. That’s correct, isn’t it, Mr. Daniels?”


    Connor gave a slight nod. “Indeed.”


    “Since our marriage went through legal procedures, our divorce must be handled legally as well, correct?”


    “Correct.”

    “And from the time we got married to the moment we sign the divorce papers, any ie earned by either party is consideredmunity property, correct?”


    “That’s right.”


    Watching this exchange between husband and wife, Domenic, Marc, and Terry felt uneasy. They were disturbed by how effortlessly their boss seemed to be led step by step into the trap of the seemingly simple country girl. They couldn’t believe something like this would actually happen to their usually smart boss. Even though the negotiation felt odd, it proceeded without conflict


    Marissa smiled. “Mr. Daniels, since you took me from my flower shop, I’ve had no earnings. During our marriage, my ie was zero. Regarding your ie during our marriage, would you prefer to disclose the financial details yourself, or should I hire awyer to review them?”


    Hearing her words, Domenic, Marc, and Terry clenched their teeth in frustration. They were furious! They found her audacity unbearable! Who did she think she was? Mr. Daniels had just made a billion dors today. If it was consideredmunity property, was she really expecting to walk away with half? This was simply unbelievable!


    They had already thought her request for ten million in medical expenses was outrageous. Now, that seemed like just a small beginning! She was clearly pushing her luck! Even if Connor felt indebted to her for saving Arabe, surely there was a limit to his patience!


    However, they had underestimated their boss’s generosity. Expecting him to dismiss Marissa’s ims, they were shocked to see him smile, pick up his phone, pull up the financial statements, and hand his phone to her


    Domenic, Marc, and Terry were dumbfounded. Marissa took the phone without hesitation


    Even when she was faced with the astronomical numbers on the financial statements, her expression remained unchanged. She then calmly asked, “During our marriage, your financial ie was one billion. ording to thew, I’m entitled to half, which is 500 million. Mr. Daniels, do you have any objections to this?”


    “No, your request is reasonable and within legal bounds,” Connor responded nonchntly. As he spoke, the expressions of the three onlookers contorted, as if it was their money being discussed. The woman had the audacity to ask, and their boss seemed all too willing toply! Just who exactly was this country girl?


    Marissa herself was quite taken aback. She hadn’t anticipated Connor being so cooperative. She had prepared herself with a lot of persuasive arguments, ready for a lengthy debate. It turned out, it was all unnecessary


    After a brief pause, she courteously handed back the phone and said with a smile, “Please, Mr. Daniels, go ahead and sign the divorce agreement.”


    But Connor didn’t immediately sign. Instead, he looked at her intently for a few moments before softly inquiring, “Miss Nash, are you interested in getting more money out of this?”


    Marissa looked confused, her fine eyebrows lifting as she gave Connor a questioning nce


    Connor began to exin, “My fiancée has run away, and it’s caused my grandmother a great deal of stress. She’s fallen seriously ill because of the worry. If my grandmother doesn’t see her when she wakes, it might worsen her condition, possibly putting her life at risk. Miss Nash, could you consider dying our divorce and acting as the devoted granddaughter-inw for a bit, just until I have a better solution? In exchange, while we’re still married, all my ie will bemunity property, shared by both of us.”


    Before Marissa could answer, Domenic, Marc, and Terry looked as though they’d been struck by lightning. The wealthiest man in Blebert, who earned a fortune every day, was proposing to share half his daily ie—effectively handing out a fortune each day. This country girl had hit the jackpot, suddenly thrown into a marriage, and was poised to be wealthy beyond measure!


    However, they always seemed to misjudge the vige girl. She didn’t react as they had anticipated, neither flushed with excitement nor stumbling over her words. Confronted with such an enormous temptation, the girl simply shrugged and said, “Sorry, Mr. Daniels, I can’t help with that.”


    Domenic, Marc, and Terry werepletely taken aback. Looking directly at Connor, Marissa said inly, “My fiancé and I have nned to return to our hometown tomorrow to get married. I can’t change this n. I need to have the divorce finalized by noon tomorrow so I can catch the train back to my hometown.”


    The mood turned extremely awkward
