I Want a Divorce by Abigail Quinn

Chapter 8

After Oliver drove away from Willie’s factory, Hailey pondered for a long time before speaking to him.

“Oliver, your father urgently needs money. You can use this 780-thousand-dollar check. We don’t have to split it anymore. All the money is yours.”

Stunned, Oliver shook his head and said, “Ms. Fox, let’s just go according to our previous agreement. I appreciate your kindness, but rules must be in place. We shouldn’t go back on our word. 390 thousand dollars is also enough to solve my current problem. Even if it’s not enough, it’s a problem for another time. I believe I can still make money with my ability.”

Hailey’s heart fluttered a little. No matter what, Oliver’s action had moved her. Just the thought of the people who hurt her drove her insane involuntarily.

But when she looked at Oliver, who was driving the car, just his side profile alone exuded a sense of perseverance and toughness.

After giving it a thought, she responded, “Oliver, let’s not go to the store anymore. You can drive me home.”

Upon telling Oliver the address, Hailey mulled it over and added, “Give me the check, then. It has to be cashed in at the bank. Since you need money urgently, I’ll transfer it directly to your bank account.”

As she spoke, she asked for Oliver’s bank account number, then directly wired him the money through her phone’s mobile banking application.

Within a minute, Oliver’s phone vibrated and beeped with the sound of a text message notification.

However, he did not check it, for he was certain it must be the bank transfer notification.

Oliver had never been to Hailey’s home, which was situated in a super luxurious mansion neighborhood of Navarre Peninsula. When they arrived at the destination, he saw that every mansion looked just like a painting.

Hailey’s house was No. 17. After the yard gate opened automatically, a private garden measuring tens of thousands of square feet was revealed inside.

The mansion was so spacious that it resembled a manor. There were six parking spots in the yard, with four being occupied by luxury cars.

Oliver parked the car, got out, and handed Hailey the key. “Ms. Fox, I’ll go hail a taxi back to the store now.”

“Wait,” Hailey called out, then went to another parking spot and opened the door of a white Porsche 911. She took out a key from inside the vehicle and stuffed it into Oliver’s hand. “Drive this car for the time being. It’s more convenient to get around with one.”

Oliver froze briefly before shaking his head. “Ms. Fox… This… is rather inappropriate, no?”

Hailey curled her lips. “What’s inappropriate about it? You’re the store manager of my store. What’s wrong with your boss providing you with a car for transport? Besides… look at how many vehicles I have; I can’t use all of them. Since they’re merely being kept at home, it’s no big deal to give you one.”

“Store manager?” Oliver was stunned again.

“Oh, right!” Hailey smiled and raised her finger. “You are now officially the store manager of my True Treasure second-hand. store, with a base salary of… 10,000 dollars, plus a net revenue commission of 25 percent!”
