Chapter 293
Ellis frowned, and as he walked to the living room entrance with his assistant, he just happened to see
a woman with her back to him, holding two copies of a divorce agreement in her hands, shaking.
T
He immediately furrowed his brows but stopped in his tracks, not entering the room right away.
The woman’s voice was low, with a sobbing tone, as she said with her head down, “Howard, I don’t
want to divorce p>
Howard accused her impatiently. “Keera, look at yourself now, just staying at home every day. For all
these years it was I who managed the company, and you? You just gave birth to a child, living in a daze
every day, enjoying luxury with the company’s money for so many years. What contributions have you
made to the company? Now, just a little bit of debt, and you don’t want to bear it p>
was
The woman’s voice trembled. “When we graduated, it you who said I didn’t need to work! You said that
being your wife was enough p>
During this time, Keira had read through Keera’s diary.
In her diary, Keera recorded the happy times with
Howard.
Howard, in college, had also been sweet and
affectionate with Keera, and before they got married, after graduating from university, Howard was a
typical doting boyfriend.
Recalling the content of Keera’s diary, Keira said with her head down, “You said that going to work was
too hard and that you would manage the company for me, that in the future you would earn money to
support the family, and I just needed to be beautiful.
“You said that you and Cindy were just socializing, that it was all an act, that the person you loved the
most was actually me…
“You also said, no matter whether the child I gave birth to was a boy or a girl, you would love them…
She was speaking these words on behalf of Keera.
“Enough p>
Howard clearly didn’t want to listen any longer having
done so many things yet preventing others from talking about them, and he coldly laughed. “Keera,
what’s the point of saying all this? I have a mistress outside, but are you clean yourself? Haven’t you
slept with Mr. Horton p>
Keira suddenly looked incredulously at him.
How had that night with Lewis come about, wasn’t Howard aware of it? How could he shamelessly say
such things?
Howard’s mother immediately followed up. “That’s right, Keera, you also didn’t behave like a wife
should. What right do you have to accuse Howard here? Just sign the paper, otherwise, don’t blame us
for not being polite p>
Ellis was red-hot with rage upon hearing this.
Just as he was about to enter the room to back up Keera, he heard the woman with a trembling voice
start to speak. “Fine, I’ll sign the agreement p>
Ellis immediately halted.
Actually, if Keera would just divorce like this, it wouldn’t be so bad.

waiver of Custody
After all, it was just a divorce agreement. Having signed it, given the Olsen family’s assertiveness, if
Keera regretted it later and didn’t want a divorce, the agreement could completely be destroyed.
He thought about it and simply stood still, not moving
an inch.
Inside the room.
Keira appeared to be coerced, placing the divorce agreement on the table and quickly signing her
name.
Cindy was pleased.
Howard breathed a sigh of relief.
Even Howard’s mother said, “Now that you’ve signed, son, go get the divorce certificate with her
tomorrow p>
Howard nodded, then looked regretfully around the villa, wanting to say something, but Keira said,
“Howard, I’ve agreed to all the conditions in the
divorce agreement. Could you agree to one condition
for me p>
Howard immediately asked with suspicion, “What is
it p>
Keira said weakly. “How much child support will vou
give Amy every month p>
As soon as these words came out, Howard immediately bristled. “What nonsense are you talking
about? The company is in debt, and I’ve resigned. I don’t have a job right now. Where would I get the
money to pay you any child support p>
Howard’s mother also said, “Keera, don’t go too far! How much money has Howard given you over the
years? How much has he earned for this family? How can you still want his money after the divorce?
You wish! Howard’s future income has nothing to do with your daughter. It’s all for my grandson p>
Cindy laughed as well, “Keera, legally, a father should pay 20% of his income to his child for living
expenses, but Howard has already made it clear that he doesn’t have a proper job yet, and his future
income is unstable, so he really can’t give you anything p>
Yet Howard had already been in touch with another employer and was preparing to start working again.
After running a business for three years, he had built up his own network. It was easy for him to find a
job in the new energy sector with a monthly salary of tens of
thousands.
Otherwise, Cindy and Howard wouldn’t have so easily let go of this villa.
But this was something Cindy wouldn’t tell Keira.
Keira, upon hearing all this, looked up incredulously. She bit her lip, pretending to be aggrieved,
“Howard, you’re Amy’s father, and it’s your duty to raise her… Moreover, I’m so deep in debt, and I
definitely won’t have the money to raise Amy in the future. If you don’t provide child support, how will
the child live p>
These words made Howard retort impatiently, “I don’t care how you live! If you can’t make it, just take
her and go beg on the street p>
Howard’s mother sneered. “Exactly, Keera, you ha hands and feet. Why can’t you live on your own p>
Cindy added. “Auntie, I guess Keera hasn’t worked i several years and doesn’t want to go out and find
a jo After all, working is so exhausting, and if she could get living expenses for Amy, she could just find
a place to
slack off with Amy, letting Howard raise Amy p>
“She’s dreaming!” Howard’s mother shouted angrily.
Keira’s voice took on a sobbing tone. “Howard, you are Amy’s father. If Amy can’t afford to go to school,
there will be relevant departments that will hold you accountable! I’m not making an unreasonable
request, Howard. You can’t be so heartless toward Amy… As long as you are her father, you have to
take responsibility for her p>
Ellis, who was listening outside, felt a surge of anger.
What on earth was Keera doing p>
They were already divorced, and she still cared about that bit of child support? Couldn’t she be a bit
more independent?
He took several deep breaths to suppress the anger welling up inside him.
He even felt that someone as defeatist as Keer deserve his support.
How could there be such weak people p>
Inside.
After Keira said her piece, she saw Howard’s mother jumping up and down in anger. “You’re already
divorced, so how could Howard possibly still be her
father? Besides, with the way you mess around, it’s still uncertain whose child Amy really is! Howard,
think of a way to cut ties with them, so she won’t be like a vampire sucking your blood even after the
divorce p>
As soon as these words came out, Cindy immediately said, “Why not sign a waiver of custody p>
Upon hearing this, Keira narrowed her eyes.
Her goal was achieved, and it hadn’t been in vain that she had put on such an act here!
She wanted to completely sever Amy’s relationship with Howard and his family, so that in the future,
Howard would have no reason to come looking for her again!
Thinking about this, she immediately shook her head and waved her hands, “No, no p>
Seeing her reaction, Howard decisively pulled out a piece of paper. “You don’t get to make the
decision. I’m signing the waiver now p>
