SON-IN-LAW GETS AN UPGRADE - Season 5 Episode 86

Alex seemed calm on the surface when he spoke, but the deepest and most fragile part of his heart felt like it had been repeatedly stabbed. He was strangely hurt by it.

Heather, on the other hand, saw how calm Alex was. He didn’t show any emotions on his face, and that shattered Heather’s heart.

She had requested a divorce multiple times before, but Alex had always reacted poorly to it. He even used Stanley to threaten and convince her to stay in the marriage.

To her surprise. Alex was calm when she asked for the divorce. Has he thought it through as well? Does he want a divorce too?

Still, he was the one at fault, so how can he be so okay with the divorce?

Heather felt wronged, and tears streamed down her cheeks.

She realized that Alex had changed.

He was no longer the man who refused to let her go, even when she asked for a divorce.

Heather felt like she no longer knew the man.

“Heather, what are you talking about?” asked Carmen when she heard what Heather said. The woman quickly dragged Heather aside.

Alex was a member of the Jefferson family from Lumenopolis, and if he changed his mind in the future, he would still be able to accept his inheritance. That inheritance would get him at least twenty to thirty

billion.

Twenty to thirty billion!

Carmen couldn’t even imagine what that was like.

All she knew was that their family would definitely be the richest in Nebula City, and she would be the richest mother-in-law.

Hence, Carmen refused to let the duo get divorced- at least not until after Alex accepted his inheritance.

Even if they were to be divorced, they must at least wait until Alex received his inheritance. That way, Heather would be entitled to half of Alex’s money.

“Mom, I can’t stand being with him anymore. You don’t know this, but he invited another woman out on a date today. And he did so right in front of me! How is that husband-material? What does he take me for?” complained Heather as she teared up. She had never felt so betrayed and wronged before.

Carmen turned to Alex. She was surprised to learn that Alex, who had always treasured Heather, would do something so horrible.

However, before Carmen reprimanded Alex, she thought about how he had forced Susan to her death. That made Carmen swallowed all her words before they ever got out.

“Heather, come here. Let’s chat,” said Carmen, who didn’t dare to scold Alex. She could only get Heather to the other room to talk.

Chapter 486 Sharing The Inheritance.

Alex stared at the two of them for a moment. He didn’t say anything before he went into his son’s room.

“Daddy,” greeted Stanley while he played in his room.

Alex walked over and patted his son’s head before saying, “Daddy will sleep by your side tonight.”

“Really? Are you sure? Horray! I love it when you tuck me in!” cheered Stanley happily.

Alex nodded. “Of course, I’m sure. When have I ever lied to you?”

As Alex spoke, he took off his coat and went to shower.

Carmen dragged Heather into the room and locked the door before whispering, “Heather, Alex is an asshole. Yes, it was a mistake to marry him all those years ago. However, he is a member of the Jefferson family from Lumenopolis, and I’ve looked into the matter. The Jefferson family is worth over a hundred billion, and that asshole can receive at least a twenty to thirty billion in inheritance if he changes his mind in the future. Think about it. If your relationship with him is good, he will definitely share some of his

with us when he finally accepts it. We won’t ask for much. Just ten billion will do.”

money

Heather stopped crying after hearing Carmen’s analysis. She was somewhat convinced.

I have been with Alex for so many years and have even given him a son! If I get divorced now, won’t I just be letting another woman benefit from it all? Even if I get a divorce. I should wait until after he

receives his inheritance. That would entitle me to half of his money… at least ten billion! His family is powerful, so he would definitely get at least that much. If I get divorced now, I will, at most, get this house, which is nothing by comparison!

Heather soon calmed down and came to a conclusion.

Regardless of the situation, she must wait until after Alex received his inheritance before asking for a divorce.

Carmen’s phone rang up at that moment. She picked it up, and her face instantly turned utterly pale, as if she had just lost her soul.
