I Want a Divorce by Abigail Quinn Novel

Chapter 59

Kenneth noticed Calista and Joanna’s cold, disdainful glares directed at them.

Oliver, in particular, wore a dominant and contemptuous expression.

The only person Kenneth had hoped would lend them support, Jason, let out a sigh and remained silent.

Jason would have done so if he intended to speak up for them. Instead, his silence made it clear that he stood by Oliver.

Kenneth suddenly realized that Jason, whom he believed he could sway, could not be swayed, and Oliver, whom he thought he could intimidate, could not be intimidated.

Especially Oliver, as he was not the brainless and spineless person Kenneth had imagined. All his hopes had turned to ashes.

After enduring for a while, Riley could no longer contain her anger. With her hands on her hips, she launched into a scolding tirade. “A bunch of country bumpkins! So what if you’ve made some money? What do you have to be proud of? Our family has a principal, a teacher, and a university student. What do you have? Country bumpkins!”

Calista could not hold back either. She grabbed a feather duster and swung it fiercely at Riley’s head, shouting, “Get lost, you self-righteous principal, teacher, and university student. Don’t set foot in our country bumpkin’s house!”

Riley received two blows from the feather duster, feeling both pain and humiliation. In a state of panic, she hastily fled outside.

When she looked back, she witnessed Kenneth and William being driven out in a pitiful state. The entire family was

driven ou humiliated.

Joanna followed suit and closed the iron gate of the yard, her face brimming with disdain.

William gazed through the iron gate at the Porsche 911 and the Rolls-Royce Cullinan that Oliver had recently brought to the yard. His face was filled with envy and reluctance.

As for Riley, she did not envious because of the cars. Her heart yearned for the luxurious mansion.

On the other hand, Kenneth could not help but think about the 120 million dollars in cash that Oliver possessed. The aspirations of the family of three were now shattered and on the verge of collapse.

However, William was still unwilling to accept the situation. He grumbled to Kenneth and Riley, “Dad, Mom, I don’t care. I want that Porsche 911. Mandy doesn’t like me because our family isn’t wealthy enough, and we don’t have luxury cars. Dad, go-talk-to-Uncle Jason. I want that Porsche 911!”

Kenneth was already extremely annoyed then, and his spoiled son’s reckless behavior made him even more furious. He immediately slapped William’s face. “Always wanting, that’s all you know. If you want it so badly, here, sell me and trade for it!”

The forceful slap instantly left a bright red palm print on William’s face.

Seeing Kenneth fiercely slap their son, Riley’s maternal instincts kicked in, and she pounced on Kenneth like a mad dog, twisting and pinching his face and body. “You dare hit my son! I’ll fight you!”

“Ouch! Ouch! Riley, you bitch. If you… scratch my face, then how am I going to face people? Oh…”

The three of them began to struggle and fight on the street. Within a short while, security guards who saw the commotion on the surveillance cameras rushed over. After inquiring about the situation, they promptly expelled them without considering their social status.

Inside the mansion’s living room, Oliver said to Jason, who wore a pained expression on his face, “Dad, I know you care about your brother, but he is not worthy of your care even though he claims to be a role model. I hadn’t told you this before because I didn’t want you to worry. On the day you were hospitalized, I went to borrow money from Uncle Kenneth, Aunt Candice, and Uncle Frederick. Uncle Kenneth took out a wad of money from his wallet and counted 100 dollars to give me. He told me to use that 100 dollars to pay for my medical expenses. Aunt Riley also said that your illness couldn’t be cured and questioned why we were wasting money for nothing. On the other hand, Aunt Candice made it clear that she was afraid I wouldn’t be able to repay the money, so she only gave me 40 dollars as a monetary gift. As for Uncle Frederick… Humph, don’t even mention borrowing from him. He hasn’t returned the 4,000 dollars he borrowed from us and claimed Mom gave it, so why should he repay it?”

Tears welled up in Jason’s eyes as he listened, and he whimpered inwardly, “This is my family!”

Oliver held Jason’s hand with one hand and Joanna’s with the other. He then turned to Calista and said, “Dad, Mom, Jo, I can earn big money now without relying on others. We will rely on ourselves!”

Jason nodded and wiped away his tears, “Son, you’ve suffered. I don’t blame you for what you did to your uncle Kenneth today. You don’t owe him anything.”

Calista also wiped her tears and added, “Our son is right. It’s useless to rely on anyone else. We can only rely on ourselves. From now on, our family doesn’t need those relatives. We will live our own lives as long as we’re happy and well!”

Understanding the importance of self-reliance and stability, they resolved to forge their own path. Mountains may crumble,

and people may scatter, but they would stand strong.

Witnessing Joanna’s tears, Oliver released her hand and gently wiped them away. “Jo, don’t let the words of Uncle Kenneth and his son affect you. In my heart, you are more precious than anything. You are the princess of the Eastwood family, and no one is allowed to bully you!”

Overwhelmed with pain and distress, Oliver’s words made Joanna throw herself into his arms and burst into tears.

Just then, the doorbell at the main gate rang.

Oliver’s face darkened, and he spoke with a cold tone. “Don’t Kenneth and the others give up? Well, then, they shouldn’t blame me for being rude!”

Determined to confront their unwanted visitors and give them a taste of embarrassment, Oliver made his way to open the door.

However, as the door swung open, it was not Kenneth’s family standing before him. Instead, his eyes were greeted by a breathtakingly beautiful face.

“H- Ms. Fox?” Oliver exclaimed in surprise and disbelief.

The person who had arrived was none other than Hailey herself.

Hailey possessed a delicate beauty with slightly refined facial features. She looked at Oliver and asked, “You seem to be emitting an intense aura. Can I come in?”

“Yes, please. Please come in!” Oliver blushed and quickly invited her

In the living room, Jason, Calista, and Joanna were all taken aback by the sudden arrival of the beautiful lady.

Oliver invited her to sit down as he introduced Hailey to his parents. He said, “Dad, Mom, this is my… my former boss from the shop. Dad, she provided the 800 thousand dollars that saved your life!”

It turned out that their savior and benefactor had come to visit.

Jason and Calista immediately expressed their gratitude, while Joanna, displaying her maturity, went to pour coffee.

Hailey shook her head and said, “Uncle Jason and Aunt Calista, there’s no need to thank me. To be precise, it wasn’t me who gave the money. It was Oliver who earned it through his own abilities. If he didn’t have the capability, I wouldn’t have been able to provide it. So, in essence, it was Oliver who saved your life!”

Jason said stubbornly, “Young lady, a favor is a favor. As Joanna mentioned earlier, you even invited a team of experts from Jacaster to perform the surgery specifically for me. That was an immense kindness from you. Oliver is my son, and he must remember this debt of gratitude!”

Hailey fell silent for a moment. Then, she turned to Qliver and said, “Oliver, I’m not asking for anything based on a debt of gratitude. I have a request for you, and you have every right to refuse it. I’m not asking you to repay any past favors.”

Oliver was taken aback by her words but quickly nodded, determination shining in his eyes. He replied firmly, “Ms Fox, whatever it is, just tell me what you need. If it’s within my abilities, I will do it. Even if it means risking my life, I will do it for you!”

The bond they had formed during their life-and-death experience in Manchernius and the gratitude he felt toward Hailey for saving his father’s life was etched deeply in Oliver’s heart.

“Oliver…” Hailey’s eyes turned red, and her voice trembled as she continued, “My father has been diagnosed with a terminal illness. I know he doesn’t want to leave this world, and I also understand that his desires may seem absurd and impossible. But… all I want is to be by his side, to fulfill his last wishes. Oliver, will you… help me?”

Oliver instantly understood that Hailey wanted him to join her father in the search for the elusive and mythical Tristar Treasure left behind by Henry.
