“What’s wrong with Emily? She’s rich, has status, and treats you well enough. Why the hell would you divorce her?”
“I don’t love her anymore. Her heart belongs to someone else.” I tried to stay calm, though my fingertips trembled.
“Divorce is the best choice for both of us.”
“Bullshit!” Richard roared, the sound rattling my eardrums.
“What will you get after divorce? Kevin and I are relying on her! If you leave her, what happens to us?”
“Relying on her?” I froze, turning to Kevin.
“What do you mean by that?”
Kevin scratched his head with a sheepish smile, sidling closer:
“Bro, think straight. Emily’s powerful now. The company’s about to go public. If you divorce her, how could you ever find someone better?”
“Dad’s nursing home costs a hundred thousand dollars a quarter. Emily’s been paying it all.
And I’m getting married soon—she even said this mansion would be my wedding gift…”
“So it’s all about money.” Something pressed hard against my chest, but I straightened my back.
“You don’t have to worry about money. I’ll cover Dad’s nursing home fees. And Kevin’s wedding house—I’ll handle it too.”
“You?” Richard sneered, his eyes full of contempt.
