Chapter 39
Mikayla was momentarily stunned.
She planned to use the one hundred billion dollars her grandfather gave her to cooperate with Taylor. Besides, she had already maxed out the black card Jerome gave her last time.
She had limited accessible cash at the moment. Things would be much easier if she had
the money.
Anyway, she could no longer use the proposal. Since Bernhal wanted it, she decided to let
them use it.
Mikayla tried negotiating.
“Can you add another one hundred thousand?”
Jerome remained silent.
He looked at her and said, “Mikayla, you are clearly a money lover. Why did you pretend to be all high and mighty and say you didn’t want a penny before this?”
Jerome had given Mikayla a card when they got married.
He told her she could spend it on household expenses but warned her not to tie him down with their marriage.
Mikayla refused to accept the card to prove she didn’t marry him for money.
Since then, she had used her own money to buy gifts for Jerome and to cover some daily
expenses.
It was such a loss!
“How about you make up for it now?” Mikayla tentatively asked.
As expected, Jerome sneered.
“You’re divorcing me. Why should I give you money to spend?”
Businessmen were all about benefits. Mikayla decided not to dwell on it.
She said, “One million it is then. Deal.”
Jerome requested, “You have to participate and follow up on the project in the future. You’re responsible for modifying the relevant data in the proposal.”
“Jerome, I think you just don’t want to give me the
Mikayla was angry.
“I said I won’t join Bernhal. I won’t get involved in anything related to the company!
Jerome restrained the rising displeasure in his heart and frownest.
“I can make an exception to let you become an investment analyst and participate in this project. This is the last chance. If you give up, you won’t get a second chance even if you ask Grandma for help.”
“Make an exception? Do you want me to be grateful to Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
Under Jerome’s indifferent gaze, Mikayla said, “Dream on Forget about Grandina. Even if you beg me, I won’t join Bernhal.”
Jerome couldn’t take it anymore.
“Mikayla, I’m done with you! Did you put effort into creating this proposal just for fun?”
Mikayla chuckled.
“Mind your own business. It has nothing to do with you.”
Jerome glared at Mikayla and said coldly, “As long as you don’t regret it!”
After that, he focused on replying to his emails and ignored her.
Contented with the peacefulness, Mikayla continued looking at her phone.
Silence filled the car again.
The car soon arrived at a uniquely themed restaurant in Marisville.
The environment was elegant, and the air was refreshing. The private rooms nered excellent views. There was also a garden at the back. Since it was located quite far from the bustling city, people among the upper–class society loved this place.
After exiting the car, Jerome suddenly extended his hand to Mikayla. He gestured for her to link arms with him.
Mikayla was puzzled.
“Are you okay? Why pretend to be a loving couple at a time like this?”
Jerome coldly retorted, “It’s not like I’ve never done it before.”
Nekala fell silent, Indeed, Jerome had always cooperated with her in the past.

The place was already bustling with people enjoying coffee and chatting. The atmosphe was harmonious.
