I Refuse to Divorce

Chapter 142

It all seemed ridiculous when she thought about it now. Zoe was worried about Ella, so she arranged to meet her in a coffee shop.

Ella arrived first, sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window, watching Zoe drive over. When they met, she raised her chin. "Why are you driving yourself? Don't people like you all have dedicated drivers?”

Zoe sat down with a faint smile. "I want to drive myself from now on.” Ella knew her intentions. "Are you really thinking about leaving? I've noticed that Mason has been quite devoted lately." Zoe didn't want to bring up those matters. She asked Ella seriously, "What about you and Leslie? What are your plans?”

Ella looked a bit embarrassed. She tidied her hair, avoiding the main issue, and skillfully changed the subject. "What can I have with him? It's just a little affair between a man and a woman. Life goes on after you break up, right?”

Zoe remained silent. In the end, Ella couldn't hold back and decided to be honest.

"I told you he’s holding me hostage! How can I survive in this circle if I cut ties with him? Zoe, I don't want to live a poor life again. I've completely corrupted myself."

Zoe knew that this wasn't how Ella truly felt.

Ella was like a piece of driftwood, floating aimlessly.

After so many years, she could tell that Ella had feelings for Leslie. Now that he had a fiancee, she felt sad but pretended not to care. Zoe held her hand and took out a check from her handbag

700 thousand dollars was written on it.

Zoe held Ella's hand, her voice slightly tense. "I'll support you! Maybe I'm still bound by this marriage with Mason, but I'm different now. I have many more chips in my hands. Ella, listen to me. Once Leslie is engaged, cut ties with him completely. Move to another city, go abroad, whatever you want."

Ella's throat tightened. She slowly looked up at Zoe. Zoe was still the same as before, soft and delicate. This small, petite woman understood Ella the most and never held anything back. Ella loved Leslie.

She didn't love him at first, but feelings gradually developed over time.

There was nothing she could do.

She was tough-mouthed but lacked the courage to leave.

Zoe had broken down the brick wall she built up.

In the bustling coffee shop. Ella cried like a fool. At this moment, she felt like she had returned to her childhood, standing on the rooftop.

Zoe opened her arms, calmly saying, "Ella, come to me."

She smiled slightly. "I'll take care of you!” Ella sat in the sports car, holding the 700 thousand dollar check Zoe gave her.

She dialed Leslie's number.

Leslie, letsbreak up! I'll pay you 50 thousand for ending it earlier. You can go-ahead with your marriage, and ra) go my own way. We won't be involved with each other." Content belongs to ~~

Leslie remained silent for a while before speaking. His voice was soft. "Ella, isthis considered a breakup? t's mere of an adoption. Keep-your money and leave. Don't let nie see yotragain.” ” to “Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

He hung up the phone. He guessed that Zoe must have asked Ella to do this. Mason's wife was much more cunning than Ella. Knowing he cared about his reputation, she knew he would refuse the money.

With this generous gesture, Ella would get to keep her money and her pride.
