They whispered for a while and finally said they wanted 40 thousand dollars. As long as I gave them the money, we could get a peaceful divorce and become strangers in the future. I calculated it myself. The house and car were bought by me before marriage, but the income after marriage needed to be divided equally. My annual salary was about 90 thousand dollars. If we went to court, the court would probably support giving them 40 thousand dollars.
I thought, Forget it. Just spend the money to buy some peace. Otherwise, if we can't get divorced, I will have to spend at least one million dollars to treat Valery's illness.
They were afraid that I would change my mind, so they took me directly to the Family Court. Valery and I went through the procedures quickly, and everything would be done after one month.
Valery took the divorce receipt and looked at me coldly, saying, "Don't play any tricks on me in a month. Otherwise, even if cancer doesn't let you die, I won't let you live!"
I just nodded and didn't say anything.
