I didn't want to settle some scores with Henry, but he came to me for money. If I didn't put up a fight, they would definitely think I would be a lamb to the slaughter.
I took a business card out of my bag and handed it to Henry.
"Fine, I won't take your breakup fee. After all, you can't afford it. But about that gallery and the money I've spent on you these past eight years, my lawyer will contact you.
"As for whether you want to go through with the trial or settle it privately, you can discuss that with my lawyer as well."
Henry didn't seem to react, and he was stunned as he took my card.
Janet, however, stepped in front of me with a huff as I was about to leave.
"Evelyn, what do you mean?"
I replied, "Exactly what I said. Janet, you've already delayed me from going to work. If you keep blocking me, I'm going to call the police."
Janet smiled furiously and nodded at me, gritting her teeth.
"Okay. Evelyn, you're going to regret your decision today."
As she finished speaking, she took Henry's hand. "Let's go."
Henry had been stumbled by her before he could react.
I drove the car to the front gate of the neighborhood and told the security guard to delete Henry's portrait and fingerprints.
