Free Web NovelChapter 874: Chapter 874: Tricked by My Brother into Having a Meal
Renee Grant also requested three properties from Felix Lockwood, all acquired during their marriage.
She watched Felix sign the papers and completed the transfer procedures.
With everything settled, Felix made Renee leave without any assets, but Renee reclaimed her own money.
Originally, she wanted Felix to leave empty-handed as well, but Serena Sullivan informed her that Felix had already transferred his money and properties, none of which were in his name.
Given Felix’s cleverness, it’d be impossible for him to divorce Renee without ensuring she got nothing.
Moreover, Felix, who works at The Lockwood Corporation, indeed doesn’t have a high salary and doesn’t receive many dividends from the shares.
This man must have other income sources, which he’s been secretly redirecting over the years.
On one hand, he hid it from Renee, and on the other, he anticipated trouble from Carter Lockwood and The Lockwood Family.
After getting the money, Renee specifically went to see Serena Sullivan, but Serena didn’t meet her.
She understood and made a call to Ethan Grant, expressing her gratitude extensively.
Ethan advised her to live her life well, which was exactly what Renee planned to do.
Through this ordeal with Felix, she’s learned that money is the most important thing.
Husbands and sons are useless.
The first half of her life was spent worrying over Felix and Sean Lockwood, while the latter half should be filled with spending money generously, and if possible, dating a few handsome men will suffice.
Renee quickly departed the Imperial Capital, and Ethan called Serena to give updates on Renee’s situation.
Serena listened, feeling indifferent; she helped Renee not out of forgiveness, but simply couldn’t stand Felix.
"Sis, stop just calling and eat something."
During Serena’s call with Ethan, Wyatt Sterling impatiently placed food on her plate.
Wyatt had taken the time to invite Serena out for lunch.
Initially, Serena didn’t want to leave the house, but Wyatt’s insistence won her over, plus he mentioned that the restaurant was newly opened and extremely popular.
He said he had booked through the reservation system, taking several days to secure a spot.
After Wyatt said that, Serena accepted his invitation.
Once inside, it was evident the restaurant was bustling; it was full when they arrived, and half an hour later, there was still a long queue outside.
"Thank you, brother."
Serena hung up the phone, looked at the dish in her bowl, and smiled as she spoke.
She picked it up and tasted it, feeling a surge of happiness.
When she was young, Claire Sullivan was very busy and couldn’t care for her, and her grandparents who were supposed to watch over her were often too occupied to cater to her needs.
She was obedient and well-behaved but faced ridicule at school due to not having a father.
She handled such mockery and bullying by herself.
Yes, by fighting!
Winning those fights meant others dared not bully her!
Of course, Claire would be summoned by teachers, but she always defended her daughter.
In front of the teachers, Claire insistently claimed her daughter would never fight without a reason and insisted others had wronged her.
If the parents of those she fought tried to make a fuss, Claire was fierce and unafraid, even seeming ready to battle them.
Having been shielded by Claire like this, through the experiences with Joel Quinn and Zoe Quinn, Serena still couldn’t hold onto hatred.
Without Claire, she wouldn’t have had such a beautiful childhood.
Whenever these fights occurred, she deeply longed for a brother.
A brother who would rush forward to protect her!
The dream, after twenty years, finally came true.
"Wow, what a handsome guy!"
While they were eating, Serena heard delighted discussions from the surrounding girls.
