Chapter 12 Unwilling
Finished
Freya had good eloquence. The way she spoke made it seem like Jazlyn was the one who had exposed her pregnancy.
“Hmph, it’s good that you understand. Our family only recognizes Jazlyn as the daughter–in–law. We won’t let someone like you ruin the Zinn family’s reputation. You should get rid of that child yourself!”
“Grandma!” Kingsley spun around, his glare at Jazlyn sharp and angry, cutting off Vanessa Bowen’s words.
As soon as he appeared, Freya, looking like she was on the verge of collapsing from anxiety, stumbled into his arms.
Kingsley quickly shielded her behind him and turned his attention to Vanessa, who was now fuming with rage.
“The child can’t be harmed. Her health is fragile. If she loses this child, she won’t be able to get pregnant again. The child has to be protected. As for Jazlyn, she’s already agreed to the divorce. We’ve been together for three years, but our personalities never matched. We were never,right for each other. Right, Jazlyn?”
He shot a threatening look at Jazlyn as if to say that if she disagreed, she would regret it.
Jazlyn forced a bitter smile as she met the contemptuous, mocking glares from the Zinns.
She had always been at the lowest point in their eyes. And now, she had become a joke to them.
“Yes, Kingsley said he’d give me 50 million as compensation for a peaceful divorce. It’s to make up for the years I’ve lost and to make sure I never reveal Ms. Quinlan’s affair to protect the Zinns‘ reputation. I’ve agreed to it. Right, Kingsley?”
Her sweet, innocent smile met Kingsley’s grim face, and her sincerity only seemed to make him angrier.
She had added an extra 20 million to the compensation–he had only agreed to 30 million before, not 50 million.
Was she trying to force him to agree to a higher amount?
Otherwise, she might cause a scene at the Zinn Residence today. What a greedy woman.
Kingsley gritted his teeth, glancing at Freya beside him, and grudgingly said, “Yes. ”
Jazlyn smiled satisfactorily.
It was good. He was willing to spend 50 million for Freya. It was so touching
After all, in their three years of marriage, he had never spent more than three million on her.
Vanessa looked taken aback. “Jazlyn, you’re so useless! You’ve been married to Kingsley for three years and can’t even keep him in check. You let this woman steal him from you, and now you’re willing to let him go for 50 million?”
Even though Kingsley was the one who had gotten Freya pregnant, Vanessa still blamed Jazlyn for everything.
“Old Mrs. Zinn, your family is so wealthy that 50 million is nothing to you, but for me, it’s more than enough. How about giving me 60 million? Then I’ll hold on to this marriage forever!”
“Jazlyn!” Kingsley couldn’t take it any longer.
Does this woman truly think our marriage is just about money? What does she even think I am?
“You… you… “Vanessa seemed completely shocked, her eyes wide in disbelief,
“Get out!” Kingsley pulled Jazlyn out.
“Kingsley…” Freya, left behind, stared at him in disbelief.
