You Want Him? Take Him! But I’m Keeping All the Assets Chapter 04

In the days that followed, York’s “overtime” became more and more frequent.

On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, he always managed to find an excuse not to come home after 10 p.m.

“We’re rushing to meet a project deadline.”

“Dinner with a client.”

“Company team-building event.”

The excuses were endless, but the result was always the same—he wasn’t home.

And Ian, who used to stay at his grandparents’ house just one night a week, now went there three nights a week.

Every time he came back, the look in Ian’s eyes grew a little colder and more disdainful.

“Mom, why are you so mean? You’re acting like a crazy person.”

“Mom, why are you never home? Don’t you love me anymore?”

“I hate you! You’re a bad woman! Get lost! Leave me alone!”

……

I know Faye has already started getting in touch with Ian.

The plot is unfolding step by step, just like in the original story.

York will take our child and run off with Faye.

And as for me, the supporting character, it’s time for me to exit the stage.

But before I leave, I won’t let a single penny slip through my fingers.

I began secretly investigating the assets under York’s name.

I discovered that over the past month, the three properties, shares in two companies, and most of his savings had all been quietly transferred to an overseas account.

And the account holder was Faye.

What alarmed me even more was that York had also embezzled three million yuan in company funds and transferred it to Faye’s account.

I took photos of all the bank transfer records, documents related to changes in equity, and property transfer certificates and saved them.

Then I sent them to Ms. Lewis.

Half an hour later, Ms. Lewis called, her tone grave, “Ms. Reed, your husband’s actions constitute fraudulent conveyance, and the embezzlement of company funds constitutes the crime of misappropriation. This evidence is sufficient to leave him with nothing, and he could even face imprisonment.”

“I recommend you file for divorce as soon as possible and apply to the court for a property preservation order.”

I looked at the evidence on the computer screen and said calmly, “I know. Ms. Lewis, please start preparing the documents. I’ll let you know once I’ve picked a date.”

“When do you plan to file the lawsuit?”

I thought for a moment, then suddenly recalled a plot point from the original novel.

Faye’s birthday was coming up. She would throw a lavish birthday party, and at that party, she and York would be unable to resist their feelings and end up having sex in the private room.

In the original novel, this party was a major turning point. At the party, Faye announced that she had divorced and returned to the country, and also revealed that she and York had rekindled their romance.

I said, “After her birthday party.”

After hanging up, I opened my calendar and looked at the date circled in red—Faye’s birthday, three days later.

I gently traced my finger over the red circle, a cold smile curving my lips.

Faye, I hope you’ll like this birthday present I’m giving you.
