He wanted Haynes to dump Ste, leaving her a discarded woman with no one to turn to.


    But the thought of Ste leaving Haynes and thriving was something he couldn''t bear to see.


    Jasper despised Ste with every fiber of his being. Only when Ste was miserable did he feel a sense of satisfaction.


    In the past, he had eagerly anticipated the day Haynes and Ste would divorce, hoping to see her in tears and despair.


    Now, however, with Ste wanting a divorce, he was determined not to let her have her way so easily.


    "Haynie," Jasper remarked, "haven''t you noticed how much Ste has changedtely? She used to never raise her voice with you, and now she''s actually daring to bring up divorce!"


    "I bet she''s found someone new, and that''s why she''s so eager to end things with you."


    "Recently, she''s been spending a lot of time with that Neville, Marvin Connolly''s dad, even helping him with his kids... Who knows, they might already be sneaking around together."


    "And don''t forget about that brother of hers... Rachel saw them having dinner once, who knows what''s going on there!"


    "This fickle woman is asking for a fortune, ten million, to support other men. No way!" Jasper fumed, turning to look at Haynes.


    "Haynie, getting married is easy, but divorce is tough. Don''t let Ste walk away with everything! If you don''t want the divorce, we can drag this out and make her life miserable."


    "Even if she takes it to court, we can stall the proceedings for two or three years, making it impossible for her to get the divorce she wants."


    "Meanwhile, we can legally transfer all marital assets so she won''t get a dime." "Why is she suddenly so determined to divorce you? It''s all about the money!" "Not only can we ensure she doesn''t get a penny, but we can also file ims to take her money."


    Jasper, with hiswork of unsavory friends, had witnessed many messy divorce battles.


    In their circle, it wasn''t umon for high-profile divorces to end up in court, mostly due to asset division.


    Walking away with nothing was rare.


    The more contentious the divorce, the clearer it was that there was no love left between the parties.


    And the less love there was, the more they wanted to ensure the other didn''t benefit.


    Many couples ended up bing bitter enemies, still entangled in each other''s lives for years post-divorce.


    Jasper had heard countless bizarre and outrageous stories because of this.


    In their social circle, people often resorted to dubious tactics to move their assets before a divorce.


    In some cases, they even managed to take the woman''s money in the end.


    Jasper prided himself on his ability toe up with devious ns.


    He continued, "With Keen''s custody in our hands, we can demand child support from Ste. Given Keen''s current lifestyle, we can easily ask for a hundred thousand a month. Let''s see how she handles that!"


    "Haha! In the end, she''lle running back to you in tears."


    The scheme was so malicious that Foreman couldn''t help but frown.


    "Jasper, Ste and Haynie were at least married and have a child together. Do we really need to push things to such extremes and be enemies?"


    Jasper scoffed, "Extreme? This is just a reality check for Ste. She''s the one moring for a divorce from Haynie. Once she experiences the harshness of the world, she''lle running back and never dare mention divorce again."


    Foreman sighed, "Haynie, don''t listen to Jasper''s nonsense. We need to think this through carefully..."


    However, as he turned to Haynes, Foreman noticed him thoughtfully swirling his wine ss, deep in contemtion.


    Foreman''s eyes narrowed, "Haynie, you can''t possibly be taking Jasper''s words seriously, can you?"
