Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 238

But she was just slightly peeved. She quickly cooled down, and focused on sorting out Leo's mess. There was indeed nothing more than a regular employee-employer relationship between her and Ian.

When she got back, Daly and Susan were still sighing in the house. Olivia had returned by then, and upon hearing that Leo might have been imprisoned, she started chewing him out.

"I have no idea what I did to deserve this. Such a useless man, I just can't take it anymore! Give me fifty grand, I want a divorce!"

Olivia put her hand on her hip and continued her tirade in front of them, her finger hovering dangerously close to their faces.

"Old men are useless. Young men are useless. Even trying act like someone else for a fight, what a joke! Who would want to spend their life with such a man? Give me the money. I want a divorce!"

Most of the money Susan and Daly had earned over the years went to Olivia. During the years that Leo ran away from home, they hardly had any money; whatever they got, they gave her immediately.

Olivia spent money carelessly while complaining about Susan's job.

At that moment, Susan realized her mistake and humbly said, "Oli, Leo might not necessarily go to jail. We can pay damages. Isn't this house about to be demolished? We'll receive compensation then."

Olivia scoffed, "When? I've had enough!"

Maja overheard this at the door and for a moment thought Olivia was right. Daly had just settled Leo's previous mess, paying over a hundred grand, and now there was another problem. Sticking with such a man really wasn't worth it.

"Daly, Susan."

She called, and they immediately looked over, hurrying towards her.

"Maja, what's the news? Is the boss willing to help us?"

"Leo won't go to jail, but we still have to pay."

Daly let out a sigh of relief, trembling as he pulled out a cigarette. "That's great."

Meanwhile, Olivia rolled her eyes at Maja's arrival.

"No matter what you two say this time, I'm getting a divorce. Give me fifty grand!"

Daly and Susan felt extremely awkward, particularly in front of Maja. It was embarrassing. Susan's eyes immediately turned red.

Although Olivia wasn't any better, Leo was clearly worse.

Daly didn't agree. He and Susan both knew that Leo's reputation was completely ruined. Plus, with the issue of Daly's house, all the neighbors were talking about them. If Leo and Olivia got divorced, he definitely wouldn't find a new wife.

"Oli, when this house is demolished, we'll give you all the compensation, as long as you're willing to stay. And if you have a child, we'll help look after it."

A glint of hope showed in Olivia's eyes. After the house was demolished, there should be a substantial amount of compensation, and after deducting what would be spent on Leo, there would still be some left.

Sensing her hesitation, Susan immediately spoke up. "When Daly retires, he'll have a monthly pension of three hundred dollars. We'll give all of it to you, and we won't keep any of it, Oli. You might want to consider having a child."

Maja watched the two of them, then looked at the hesitant Olivia, her lips twitching. It seemed that urging her to divorce was indeed asking for trouble.

"I’ll take your word for it. All the compensation and pension go to me."

Daly and Susan both let out a sigh of relief. After saying some nice things to Olivia, they turned to Maja.

"Maja, we've really troubled you this time. About the compensation, did they say how much exactly?"
