Chapter 119
Before Jerome could speak, Matilda asked curiously, “Kay, what are you asking Jerome to sign?”
Mikayla simply found an excuse.
“I bought insurance for his car and need him to sign it.”
“Really?” Matilda seemed doubtful. “Why buy car insurance now? Didn’t you buy it before?”
“It’s just additional accident insurance. Last time, we encountered an accident while driving and lacked coverage for a certain type of insurance. Our claim wasn’t fully compensated. So, this time, I signed up for extra coverage,” Mikaly said indifferently.
Hearing her words, Matilda asked gently, “Jerome, is that so?”
Mikayla didn’t expect Matilda would ask for Jerome’s confirmation.
She suddenly remembered Celeste’s words and looked at him nervously.
Jerome glanced at her indifferently, yet he kept her secret. “Yeah.”
Mikayla breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that Celeste was just exaggerating, and Jerome was a man of his word.
“Jerome, you have to be careful on the road. It’s good to have more insurance coverage.” Matilda smiled
and showed her concern.
Seeing that Matilda believed her story, Mikayla felt relieved and asked, “Where’s the signed insurance
policy?”
Jerome glanced in the direction of his desk indifferently.
Mikayla immediately walked over and found a folder on the desk.
She opened the folder and saw the divorce agreement. She was so excited that her hands began to
tremble.
It wasn’t easy for her.
After struggling for so long, she finally got hold of the signed divorce agreement!
Mikayla held it in her arms and said, “Uncle Stephen, Aunt Matilda, I’ll be heading out.”
After saying that, she was ready to leave.
But then, Jerome spoke, “I have a meeting in the morning, and I have a prior lunch appointment that I can’t cancel. I’m afraid that I can’t join you for lunch today.”
It was clear that Jerome was asking Stephen and Matilda to leave.
Now the divorce agreement had been signed, he wasn’t obligated to assist in the Davidsons‘ business
anymore.
Mikayla spoke up, “Since Jerome is so busy, let’s not disturb him. Why don’t we leave together?”
Upon hearing this, Stephen and Matilda were a little annoyed.
But since Jerome had already spoken, they had no reason to stay any longer.
The three of them left Jerome’s office together.
“Kay, what’s wrong with you? You knew we wanted to invite Jerome for lunch, yet you didn’t offer any help, instead, you repeatedly rejected it for him. Do you want to see your uncle get angry?” Matilda complained to Mikayla once they left the office.
Mikayla was in a good mood and didn’t want to argue with Matilda. She even comforted Stephen, “Uncle Stephen, don’t worry. If we could secure a business without Jerome, isn’t that more reassuring?”
“Don’t use the same method you used against your grandfather on me! It won’t work!” Stephen snorted.
Do you
think running a business is child’s play? We need connections! We have such a good resource in Jerome, and why would I not utilize it? I would be a fool not to!”
Mikayla wanted to say something else, but the elevator arrived.
A secretary holding a stack of documents hurriedly walked out. Mikayla tried to avoid her, but they still bumped into each other.
The secretary’s documents and Mikayla’s folder fell to the ground.
“I’m sorry! I’m really sorry!” The secretary apologized repeatedly.
Mikayla ignored the pain in her shoulder and hurriedly reached out to pick up the folder, but Matilda snatched it away.
“Let me see what’s written in it.”
Mikayla hurriedly tried to grab it back.
“Give it back to me! I told you, it’s just car insurance. There’s nothing to see.” NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
