Oliver’s face darkened as soon as he saw Marshall. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
Before Joanna divorced Marshall, Oliver treated Marshall well because he wanted Marshall to treat Joanna nicely. But now that Joanna had divorced Marshall, Oliver was disgusted by seeing him and showed him no respect.
Oliver gave Marshall some money after he and Joanna divorced, but Marshall lost all the money that night.
Marshall hadn’t contacted Joanna since then. Suddenly, he saw Joanna and her brand-new Panamera today.
Marshall happened to recognize the Porsche brand. He knew a guy who bought a Porsche 718 for about 140 thousand dollars.
Joanna’s car looked expensive. It was brand new and didn’t even have a license plate. There was a temporary license plate behind the windshield.
Obviously, it was a new car Joanna just bought.
Marshall estimated that this car would not be less expensive than the Porsche 718.
Did Joanna marry a rich man?
But Joanna and Oliver were the only two people in the car, and Marshall didn’t see another man with them.
When Marshall was guessing, Wayne parked his Rolls-Royce behind. Then he said to Oliver, “Mr. Eastwood, let’s get in.”
When Marshall saw Wayne, he suddenly realized that Joanna had hooked up with this rich man. Marshall knew Rolls-Royce’s golden statue. This car was far more expensive than the Porsche 718. So Marshall thought Wayne must be very rich.
But Marshall was shocked as Wayne addressed Oliver as Mr. Eastwood respectfully.
What was going on?
Were they acting in front of Marshall?
Although Marshall was not smart, he was not a fool. He met Joanna and Oliver by accident just now, so it could not be conspiracy.
Besides, if Oliver really got rich, he wouldn’t have to act in front of Marshall,
Oliver didn’t care about Marshall at all. He took Joanna into the company.
Marshall was curious and followed them. He peeked inside the gate,and was surprised by the luxury decorations of the
com?
It did not seem to be an ordinary place. Telling from the decorations, Marshall knew that it was a high- end place.
“Who are you? What are you doing here?” Wayne, who was walking into the company, asked Marshall when he saw Marshall’s strange behavior.
Marshall replied immediately, “I… I saw someone I knew. The two people who went in just now… Are they working here? You know, Oliver and Joanna. Do you know them?”
Wayne nodded and said, “Of course. Oliver is my boss. This is his company.”
“What? Is this Oliver’s company?” Marshall was startled and looked back at the cars again. He couldn’t help pointing to them and asked Wayne, “Well… Do the car you drove belong to Oliver? That car must cost a lot of money!”
Wayne pointed to the several cars at the door and asked, “Which one do you mean? The three Rolls- Royce cars parked at the gate cost nearly 2 million dollars each. The Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 is cheaper, only 800 thousand dollars. The new car bought by Mr. Eastwood for his sister just now is the cheapest, only 640 thousand dollars. Those cars all belong to Mr. Eastwood…”
Those luxury cars at the gate were all owned by Oliver. That new car for Joanna was the cheapest one, and it ONLY cost 640 thousand dollars!
Marshall was furious and thought, “Damn it! I have been fooled by Oliver!”
If Marshall had known that Joanna was rich, how could he have divorced her for a settlement of several thousand dollars?
But Marshall was not stupid. He didn’t get angry right away, but held back his fury and asked Wayne calmly, “Sir, it seems that Oliver is really rich now. Was he so rich a few months ago?”
Wayne thought Marshall was Oliver’s friend, so he replied casually, “Mr. Eastwood was already rich a few months ago.” Marshall was annoyed. He thought, “Oliver has really cheated me! I have to find can’t get rid of me so easily!”
someone to sue him to get more money. He
Marshall nodded to Wayne and said, “I’m leaving now. I have something else to do. I’ll make an appointment with Oliver
Wayne nodded and went into the company.
After Marshall went far away, he took out his phone and dialed a number of a lawyer named John Welch. Then he asked, “Mr. Welch, I want to ask you something…”
Marshall told John about the situation briefly and then asked, “Mr. Welch, do you think I can win this case and get money?”
John thought for a while and then said, “Wait. I didn’t seem to have figured out the whole situation. First of all, let’s make this clear. Is it your ex-wife or your ex-wife’s brother who is rich?”
Marshall replied hesitantly, “It should… It should be my ex-wife’s brother. My wife was with me every day at that time, so it wasn’t likely to be her to suddenly get rich… It should be her brother.”
“Then this is clear!” John replied affirmatively. “If your ex-wife’s brother made a fortune, it has nothing to do with you whether it was in the past or now. No matter how kind he is to his sister and how much money he gives her, you have no reason or right to ask for this money. Because the money doesn’t fall in the range of the common property you shared during your marriage, you can’t get any money and won’t win the case.”
Marshall was dumbfounded and still didn’t give up. Then he asked, “Mr. Welch, do you really think I have no chance to win? I… When I got divorced, Oliver gave me 10,000 dollars.”
John sighed and then said, “Marshall, although we used to play cards together, let me be honest. You are a scumbag. If I had a sister, I would definitely not let her marry you. Your ex-wife’s brother gave you 10,000 dollars just because he wanted you to sign the divorce settlement agreement more quickly. He
did it for his sister. If you hadn’t divorced Joanna, then you could have asked Oliver for money. Maybe he would give you more money because he cares about his sister. Rich people don’t really care about money. But now that you’re divorced, how could he care about you? Think about it!”
Marshall was annoyed by John’s words. He was described as a scumbag, which was really offensive.
Besides, John made it clear that Marshall couldn’t win the case or get any money.
Marshall’s heart sank!
All he wanted was money! Now he was hopeless.
Hearing that Marshall was silent on the phone, John said, “That’s all. Goodbye.”
As soon as the phone was hung up, Marshall snorted and murmured to himself, “What the hell! If I can’t get my money open manner, I’ll ask my friends for help! Even if I can only get one Rolls-Royce back, it is worth nearly 2 million dollars. I will be rich!”
