Why are you preparing this agreement to eady? Youssé acting as if the councit won’t process it”

Frederick walked over to the floor–to–ceiling window, lighting a cigar in his agitation, “Il doesn’t matter Let’s get the property division sorted out early if she’s riot satisfied she’ll have enough time to consider”

Chuck held the agreement, caught between a rock and a hard place.

Everyone knew about the hidden affection Mr. Winston held for Marguerite. Even when Marguerite was pregnant with another man’s child, Mr. Winston still considered her feelings Just a quick scan revealed several astronomical figures on the agreement, enough for Marguerite to live a life of luxury for generations Chuck could see that Mr Winston didn’t want Marguerite to be helpless after their divorce. And property was the best way to provide a wornan with a sense of security.

-If he was so reluctant to let go of Marguente, wouldn’t it be better not to divorce her?

Chuck swallowed and gathered his courage to ask, “Mr. Winston, is it impossible that you guys don’t get a divorce?”

“No, it’s impossible.”

She signed her name and handed the agreement back to Chuck. Seeing him still standing there, she asked, “Is there anything else? Did he ask you to pass on a message?”

Chuck studied Marguente’s expression, “Mr Winston just sent a message. He wants you to come back to work at the company He’s reinstating the Polar Radiance perfume project and wants you to be in charge. He said it’s a form of compensation.”
