Chapter 55 Exchange Terms
James looked at Miranda and frowned, "Mom, what do you mean?" NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
Miranda smiled bitterly and said, "Your father has a lot of women. You do have only one woman, Bella.
But you don't respect your wife and your marriage. What's the difference between you and your
father?"
When James heard this, he immediately raised his head and frowned at Miranda. He had always
wanted to be different from his father, but he didn't expect that he would still be the same as his father.
Miranda shook her head and frowned at Julie, "Have you known the news?"
Julie replied in a low voice, "Yes, I'm willing to cooperate with Mr. James. First, we'll pretend to be a
loving couple, and I'll tell the public that I'm a good friend of Bella. That night, James went to take
something for me. It was a misunderstanding."
Miranda didn't expect that Julie had thought it through. She nodded at first. Apart from other things, she
still liked Julie's smart mind. Otherwise, she wouldn't have favored the marriage between Julie and
James when she had known that Julie had relied on that kind of method to establish her relationship
with James.
Although the news was terrible at that time, it could still be covered if she really wanted to. The Leng
family could not be threatened by the media. But Miranda actually allowed them to get married and
took the initiative to push the marriage forward because she appreciated Julie very much.
Moreover, according to James's infatuation with Bella, it would be difficult for him to forget Bella if he
didn't find a woman with some means.
But now, with such a big scandal, Miranda couldn't help but sigh. Her son was so stubborn that he
couldn't be changed by a soft woman like Julie.
After heaving a sigh, Miranda realized that there was something wrong with Julie's words. She frowned
and asked, "Mr. James? Julie, what do you mean by saying that? Do you... "
Julie couldn't help laughing. After all, her mother-in-law knew her better than James. Maybe it was
because they were all women, so Miranda could find that the way she called James had changed,
before James realized the difference.
Julie nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, I have a condition. When everything is settled, I will divorce
with James. And you can't take revenge on me because of the divorce. I don't want any property of the
Leng family. I just hope that I can stop contacting with the Leng family in the future. "
Miranda frowned and looked at Julie, "What? Divorce? Why did you... "
In the past few years, Miranda had been watching how Julie loved James. Although Miranda, as Julie's
mother-in-law, had always been cold to Julie and even blamed her for not winning over James's heart
in time, she knew her son very well. Her son was too stubborn. It was not Julie's fault at all.
If Julie divorced James, who else could change his mind? Did she really let Bella enter the Leng
family?
Thinking of Bella, Miranda frowned and shook her head. Even if James didn't hate Bella for breaking up
with him when the Leng family was in the most difficult time, Miranda hated her. At that time, she was
so kind to Bella that she treated Bella as her own daughter. Bella was also very good at pleasing her,
so she often brought Bella to attend various occasions of rich women. But she did not expect that the
woman who looked gentle and demure on the surface broke up with James at that time!
How could Miranda allow Bella to enter the Leng family? Even if she gave up on her son, James, she
wouldn't allow Bella to appear in front of her again.
However, it was the final method, which would make the relationship between her and James bad. It
would be better if she could use a softer way, such as making James fall in love with another woman or
his own wife.
Julie smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, I'm tired."
Although Julie said it with a smile, Miranda was shocked. In the face of a broken marriage, she had
wanted to divorce, but she was not alone. She still had a child at that time. No matter how tired and
embarrassed she was, she had to hold on. But Miranda could understand how Julie felt now. Julie was
tired and wanted to leave.
If Miranda refused Julie, even she herself would feel embarrassed, as if she trapped herself in a dead
end again. Miranda took a few steps back, and her face turned pale. She was no longer as arrogant as
before. After sitting on the sofa, she nodded and said, "Okay, when everything is settled, you can
divorce..."
"I don't agree!" James suddenly said, "This is my business. What are you talking about? Mom, don't
you care about the reputation of the Leng family the most? Why do you agree to divorce now? Is
divorce a good thing? "
Julie had already guessed that Miranda would agree, but she didn't expect that Miranda would agree
so readily. Just when she breathed a sigh of relief, she heard what James said. She couldn't help
frowning and wondered, 'What's wrong with him? Does he still think divorce will embarrass him? If I
and James get divorced, James could marry Bella. Then, he won't let his woman suffer a lot.'
If Miranda wasn't here, Julie really wanted to speak out her true feelings in front of James. But Miranda
was here. If Julie said so, Miranda would definitely support her son again. At that time, if Miranda
thought that they shouldn't divorce, it would be difficult for Julie to deal with it.
In fact, it was not difficult for Julie to get divorced. What was difficult was that she could keep a good
relationship with the Leng family after divorce and let them not make things difficult for her. Although
Julie might be regarded as a smart and capable woman and a chairwoman, she was still a small
person in the face of such a financial group like the Leng family.
The Leng family didn't have to do it by themselves. As long as they thought so, someone would help
them kill her. Therefore, Julie had to ask Miranda to make a promise. Julie had been in the Leng family
for a long time. Although the Leng family seemed to be difficult to get along with, they were single-
minded. If they really made a promise, it would not be changed easily even if it was not written on
paper.
But now, Miranda, who seemed to be the most difficult person to deal with, had already agreed. Why
didn't James agree? Was James really her born devil? Did he deliberately make things difficult for her?
