My ex-wife is so beautiful novel (Jared and Amber)

Chapter 99 Divorce Compensation

"No! I'm not going with you!" Chloe screamed as she stumbled backward.

"If you refuse to go with us, we will charge you with resisting arrest, which is a separate charge from

defamation," the cop stated sternly.

Chloe was terrified and brought back the phone to her ear, "Makenna, the police are here to arrest me,

help me, save me!"

Makenna did not respond, and when Chloe looked at the phone, she realized Makenna had already

hung up. She couldn't believe what was happening and fell sitting on the ground.

The cops exchanged a look before they took her away.

"Hi Ms. Reed, we have arrested Chloe," said the cop who displayed his ID over the phone.

"Thank you," Amber said as she hung up the phone.

"Who's that?" Cole asked as he approached her with a cup of coffee.

Amber sipped her coffee and said, "Police station."

"They called to inform you of Chloe's arrest?" Cole asked, smiling brightly.

"Yes." Amber nodded.

"From what I heard, her father wants her to marry into a wealthy family that can help with the family

business, and what happened now might blow everything up and her father might even disown her,"

Cole mocked.

"You're right," Amber agreed.

Sheila knocked on the door and opened it, saying, "Ms. Reed, there is a lawyer here for you."

"A lawyer? You called for a lawyer?" Amber asked, raising her brows at Cole.

"Why would I call a lawyer out of the blue?" Cole spread his hands.

"It's a lawyer for the Farrell Group," Sheila explained.

"The Farrell Group? Perhaps what you said at the conference enraged Jared, and now he's filing a

lawsuit against you, babe," Cole squinted.

"We'll find out. Let him in," Amber said, her lips pursed together as Sheila nodded.

"Good day, Ms. Reed, Mr. Lyon," Mr. Carter the lawyer said as he walked into the office.

"Please take a seat," Amber said, motioning for him to do so.

Mr. Carter thanked her and sat across from her while Cole made him a cup of tea.

He thanked Cole before explaining why he was here, "I believe you know I came on Mr. Farrell's order,

right?"

"Has he filed a suit against me?" As she leaned back in her seat, she inquired.

"No, he asked me to come and present you with a new divorce settlement," he said with a smile and a

shake of his head.

"A new divorce settlement?" Cole shouted lightly while Amber, too, was taken aback.

"Ms. Reed, please have a look at the new settlement drafted by Mr. Farrell," he said, reaching for the

file in his briefcase. "It is stated here that you will receive five villas, two apartments, five cars, and

alimony in the amount of a hundred million," he said as he handed Amber the file, and as expected,

Amber did not accept it.

Then he placed it on the table and pushed it towards her.

Cole grabbed it right away and grinned, "This is it? Jared Farrell, how stingy could he be? Isn't he

supposed to give Amber half of his fortune? What about the Farrell Group's share? I believe my babe

deserves some."

"You have mistaken Mr. Lyon, Ms. Reed, and Mr. Farrell signed a prenuptial agreement; thus Ms. Reed

does not have the right to ask for company share," Mr. Carter was a little nervous to hear Cole's

statement and quickly explained.

Cole understood that Jared was generous enough to give what was listed in the new settlement despite

the prenuptial agreement, so he remained silent.

Amber took the file and looked at it, saying, "I want to know why Mr. Farrell drafted this new

settlement."

She claimed she didn't want anything when they signed the divorce papers, but now he drafted a new

settlement one month later, she was curious about his intentions.

Mr. Carter moved his glasses in place and explained, "Mr. Farrell mistreated you during your marriage Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

because he thought you requested to marry him despite knowing his relationship with Ms. Gardner, but

he realized now that he had misunderstood you after the conference, and he wants to compensate

you."

"How thoughtful of him?" Cole rolled his eyes and asked, "Compensation? He harmed Amber, and

what was done cannot be undone; additionally, instead of compensating, I believe he is attempting to

save his reputation."

"What exactly did you mean?" Mr. Carter was perplexed as he looked at Cole.

"Amber revealed how the Farrells treated her over the last six years, and now everyone thinks he's a

scumbag, so he sent you over to save his reputation," Cole stated as he crossed his arms across his

chest.

"Err… Mr. Farrell didn't mean it that way," he explained.

"Regardless of his motives, I have no intention of receiving anything from him, just as I said when we

divorced, so take this and go back," Amber said, returning the file to Mr. Carter.

"Ms. Reed, please reconsider; Mr. Farrell wishes to compensate you," Mr. Carter persuaded.

"I don't need no compensation," Amber insisted.

Mr. Carter was helpless and exited their office as Cole took his seat. "Will you regret not accepting it?"

He inquired of Amber.

"No." She re-engrossed herself in her work.

Cole shrugged as his phone rang just as he was about to say something. His assistant called.

"I'm going back to my office, babe; call me if you need anything," he said, raising his phone.

"Be safe on the way back," Amber said, nodding.

Cole walked away with a simple nod, while Amber went back to work.

Amber was eating dinner at home in Kelsington Bay at the time when her doorbell rang. She went to

open the door with the crutches and was surprised to see Jared. She tried to close it immediately but

was stopped by Jared.

"I have something I need to tell you," Jared said.

"We don't have anything to talk about. Please leave before someone takes a picture of you here at my

apartment and makes a big deal out of it," Amber mocked.

"Don't worry, I checked, and no one knows I'm here," Jared said, frowning.

"Oh, so you're proud of yourself?" She smirked, looking at him coldly.

Jared felt a hand squeezing his heart; she was done with him because the way she looked at him was

the same way he used to look at her.

"How come you didn't accept the new settlement?" Jared inquired.

"What is the point of accepting?" Amber responded with a question.

"Those are my restitution for mistreating you for the past six years," Jared explained, his eyes filled with

guilt.

"Didn’t Mr. Carter convey my message to you that I don't want anything to do with you anymore, so I

don't want anything from you. While you mistreat me, I guess it was my fault for marrying you, not

yours, so please leave."
