Eleven Years All to the Wrong Man novel Chapter 235

"How about I give you five hundred million?"

Five hundred million?!

At the mention of a figure more than double the original 221 million, Emma said nothing more, put her bag down, and sat back in her chair.

Who would argue with money? Emma considered herself a practical woman who knew when to hold on and when to let go.

So, she once again elegantly crossed her legs, tucked a stray curl behind her ear, and took a calm sip of her coffee. "Alright," she said, her expression serene. "What are the conditions?"

She didn't believe for a second that Evan would give her 500 million for free. There had to be strings attached.

And there were.

Evan smiled and mirrored her action, taking a sip of his coffee before speaking slowly.

"For the time being, we won't publicly announce our divorce, to avoid any negative press or impact on the company."

Alright, that was acceptable.

Emma nodded. "Okay."

"If there are important galas or formal events that require my wife's attendance, you must be available on call."

This...

Emma frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure in her eyes as she looked at him. "Why?"

"Because the public doesn't know we're divorced. So, I need you to continue playing the part of a loving couple with me, just like before," Evan explained calmly.

A loving couple?

Emma laughed mockingly. "The problem is, we were never a loving couple before, were we? Isn't that practically public knowledge?"

What was the point of pretending?
