Yuri sorted in disdain. “A poor thing like you still dreaming about winning the lottery? Are you out of your mind? You think everyone can billion like James?“
When James save that I had almost finished the cherries, he rolled his eyes in disgust. “Alright, the divorce is done. Now get out.”
1 raised a finger, pointing to myself. “Me? Did you make a mistake? The house is mine, the divorce papers are signed. Are you planning to go back on your word and try to take my house?”
James and Yuri’s faces turned awkward. It seemed they had just realized that both the house and savings were mine. If they left now, they wouldn’t even have a place to stay. They put on fake smiles and said, “Well, the divorce papers are signed, but we haven’t officially divorced yet, so we’ll stay
g for now. Don’t worry, as soon as I win the lottery. F’ll move out right away.”
Yuri nodded. “Right, I wouldn’t live here even if you begged me.”
I rolled my eyes. “Such poor thinking. You’re broke now, but don’t you have savings accounts or credit cards? Just stay in a five star hotel Divorce tomorrow, claim the lottery the day after. What’s there to worry about? Are you afraid you can’t pay?
Their eyes lit up at the suggestion, and without even packing, they rushed out of the house, almost skipping with excitement.
Linda, ever the detail–oriented one, remembered to warn me. Tomorrow, don’t forget to go to the civil affairs bureau to finalize the divorce. Don’t drag your feet.”
1 nodded. “Don’t worry, Whoever doesn’t show up tomorrow is a dog.”
I was so excited thinking about telling James the truth after the divorce that I could barely sleep that night. The next morning, with dark circles under my eyes, I went to claim my lottery winnings in Zeity first.
I thought I’d be the last to arrive at the civil affairs bureau, but when I got there, I was surprised to find that I had beaten them to it
My heart skipped a beat.
What’s going on? Was something wrong?
