?Chapter 104:
It was a transfer notification!
Seeing the amount made Lise break into a wide smile, and she even let out a small cheer of excitement. “Yes! The Bailey family is saved!” she thought. The amount she received was significant—five billion dors.
This was exactly what the Bailey family needed to address their pressing crisis.
Lise nearlyughed with joy. She quickly called Neil, her voice gentle and full of gratitude when he picked up.
“Thank you, Neil! I really can’t thank you enough! You’ve been a huge help!”
Neilughed softly on the other end. “You’re my woman, Lise. There’s no need for formalities.”
“But…” Lise paused and said, “I know yourpany is facing challenges. How were you able to secure so much money to help me?”
Neil massaged his forehead, his tone softening from the kindness in her voice.
“My opponents have backed down, giving me some space. I made quick profits on an international project, so I’m sending the money to you first. If you need more, just let me know.”
Lise felt a surge of emotion. She was reassured that she hadn’t misjudged Neil. He truly was someone she could depend on.
“Neil, I’ll never forget this. If there’s ever anything you need, I’m here for you, no questions asked.”
Neil’s voice grew softer, filled with fondness. “You’ve done plenty for me, Lise. No thanks are necessary.”
“Are you around? I’d like to stop by your office,” Lise asked, heading to her wardrobe as she thought about which enticing lingerie to wear for Neil. She wanted to show him how much she valued his support.

“I’m away on business today. I’ll be back in Granville tomorrow. We can catch up then.”
“Okay. Take care then.”
After ending the call, Lise leaned back in her chair, her face lighting up with a pleased smile.
“That’s perfect! Now that the Bailey family has the funds to manage this crisis, I can maintain my status as a Bailey and stay one step ahead of Katelyn!” she thought to herself.
Meanwhile, Katelyn was at her house, organizing her belongings.
In her rush to move, she had left several items behind. While sifting through a folder, she suddenly remembered that her divorce agreement with Neil was still iplete. Without two copies, both signed, the divorce wouldn’t be valid.
Realizing this, Katelyn pulled out her phone, unblocked Neil’s number, and dialed him.
When Neil picked up, Katelyn got straight to the point.
“When are you going to give me the signed agreement?”
Neil’s voice carried a hint of emotion. “Is that the only reason you called?”
“What else would it be?” Katelyn responded, her voice tinged with impatience.
The faster the documents were finalized, the sooner their marriage could officially end.
Currently, they were in a state of limbo—separated, yet legally married.
Katelyn wanted nothing more to do with Neil. Just the thought of him made her stomach turn.
Neil’s tone hardened, bing chilly. “I’m tied up at the moment.”
Katelyn said without hesitation, “When will you be avable? I can stop by your office to collect it.” She paused, mulling something over.
“Actually, the original agreement was somewhat unfair. Let’s draft a new one. How about I bring mywyer tomorrow? Let’s settle everything once and for all.”
Neil’s frustration was apparent, his patience thinning. “I’ve already told you, I’m tied up right now. If that’s all you wanted to discuss, don’t bother me again.”
With that, Neil hung up.
Katelyn stared at the nk screen, a wave of revulsion washing over her.
She reached out to the top divorce attorney she could think of and set up a meeting at the Wheeler Group for the following day to finalize the divorce.
The next day arrived.
After preparing everything she needed, Katelyn went to the Group, apanied by herwyer. The staff recognized her and allowed her to pass without interference as she headed upstairs.
As Katelyn neared the meeting room, she could hearughter echoing from inside.
