"If you agree to the divorce, I won’t mistreat you. You like film shooting, right? How about I make you a first-tier female artist? I can make you famous in the entire entertainment industry, and provide you with any resources you want."
"Not only that, but I will also give you houses, cars, jewelry, and money. I can guarantee that you will have a worry-free, luxurious life for the rest of your days. As for the surgery your brother mentioned earlier, I can arrange for the best experts in the world to perform it."
"Or if you want to get married again, I can help you find a talented young man from the upper-class social circle. Even if he’s not as outstanding as Ashton, he will definitely be among the finest."
At this point, Lady Octavia felt that the conditions she had offered were already very generous.
If Joanna didn’t agree, then she would truly be ungrateful.
In that case, she wouldn’t mind using her means to teach Joanna a lesson.
"I’ve already offered you very generous terms. It’s only for the time you’ve spent with my son that I’ve decided to treat you exceptionally well. Joanna Lawrence, you should know your place. If you refuse again, you’ll truly anger me."
In Lady Octavia’s words, there was already a threat: "Do you think it’s a difficult task for me to deal with a little girl like you? Even Ashton can’t stop me."
For some reason, Joanna felt like laughing.
At first, she was angry.
But now, she just found it amusing.
She actually laughed: "Mom, the conditions you offer are not enough to move me. I won’t divorce Ashton Heath. He will give me everything you promised and even more, better things."
"I really can’t think of any reason why I should divorce him."
Lady Octavia paused, her face darkened: "What exactly do you want, so that you will leave Ashton? Joanna Lawrence, do you prefer to be punished rather than accepting a toast?"
Joanna laughed again: "If you can meet one condition, I might consider divorcing him?"
"Give me ten billion dollars. I believe that this amount of money should be nothing to the Heath family. So, if you can give me ten billion dollars, I’ll consider the divorce."
"What did you say?" Lady Octavia stared wide-eyed, her face full of disbelief, thinking she had heard wrong.
Joanna pursed her lips, smiling as she repeated her words.
This time, Lady Octavia heard clearly.
Her face became extremely ugly: "Ten billion? You woman are too greedy. What makes you think you’re worth ten billion?"
Of course, the Heath family could afford ten billion dollars.
However, Lady Octavia had never encountered a girl like Joanna before.
As soon as she opened her mouth, she dared to ask for ten billion dollars outright.
Why doesn’t she just rob someone!
Her original plan was to give Joanna several hundred million dollars, which was already very good.
This amount of money would be enough for her to live a good life for the rest of her days.
But she didn’t expect Joanna’s appetite to be so big.
Moreover, although she was never short of money, she couldn’t just casually come up with ten billion dollars.
"Mom, it’s not that I think I’m worth ten billion, but your son is worth ten billion. You want me to divorce him, right? Well, I’ve set my terms now. As long as you can do it, I will divorce him."
"In your heart, is a free marriage for your son not worth more than ten billion
