Are you trying to take over mypany?" ire rolled her eyes then sighed. "Fine 20% and the mansion. Take it or leave it." "You are such a gold digger. You marry me because you want money. You never want the marriage life anyway." "Tomato tomatoes...does it matter? That is my request. No negotiations. The choice is in your hand now. If you don''t want to take it...then you will stuck with me forever." A malicious smile grazing ire''s lip. Alex is fuming in anger, but he has no choice if he wants to get divorce. "I can''t believe my grandfather told me to marry you. You are only in it for the money." Alex pulled his phone and dialed hiswyer. "Like you care about it." ire rolled her eyes. "Nick, I want you to print out a new divorce paper with these new requirements." Alex listed ire request exactly as she said. "Deliver to my loft, right now."
