Ceres angrily threw her phone on the table.

Kirs heard the noise and popped his head out of his office. "Ceres, what's going on?"

Ceres's head was spinning with anxiety. She covered her head with her hands and took a deep breath. "The lawyer drop my case." She looked up at Kirs, "Do you some lawyers? I can pay good money for them."

"Well, I'll keep an eye on that, but..."

Kirs had yet to finish his words.

Ceres's cell phone pinged. She immediately scrolled it up and saw a text message from the bank. She received a huge sum of money.

For a long time, she gaped at the number on the screen. 'How many zeros are there?'

She couldn't believe what she saw.

She couldn't even count how many zeros there were on it.

'Who would transfer me so much money?' Ceres wondered.

The first name that popped in her head was Johny.

But Ceres was confused, so she called Johny.

"What is all this?"

"It's what you want, isn't it? That's your five percent. The accounting department liquidized your asset. Based on the company's average annual revenue in the past four years, they give me this number. It's 1. 2 billion.

"By the way, the house rent is up to half a million per year on the market. So, I should pay you around 2 million. Are you satisfied with this number? I need time to prepare for the share transition. Don't worry. I'll pay you back, I promise."

Johny sounded peaceful over the phone and even sounded like he was smiling.

Johny adopted Bill's idea. He decided to pamper her and satisfy all her demands.

He turned the page and started a new chapter. From now on, Ceres was his queen. Ceres immediately hung up the phone.

She got what she wanted. 'I went to his place for money. And that's a happy ending, isn't it?'

But she felt stuffy in her chest.

"What's wrong?"

"That bastard! He gave me a huge sum of money!"

Ceres lay on the table, feeling empty and exhausted. She couldn't read Johny's mind.

Kirs walked in and sat on a chair. "Ceres, he has not given up on you yet."

Ceres knew about that. If Johny gave up on her, he would not pester her. Things would be easier if he really gave up. But now, Johny seemed to be determined to win her back.

"I'm afraid he won't give up if you stay tough."

"What should I do?"

Kirs took a deep breath. "I got an idea, but I don't know if it works."

"Go ahead."

"Johny was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. A man like him couldn't bear betrayal, so I think you can start from this. If he knows our relationship and we have a happy family. What will he do?" Ceres understood Kirs's plan.

But she didn't think it was a good way to go. She didn't intend to get back together, either with Johny or Kirs. She knew she had no feelings for Kirs.

"I will move into your house, and Johny will know we have been living together. And I can take care of you and Swedum. What do you think?"

Kirs gave a charming and bright smile as always.

He always placed Ceres in the first place and was honest with her.

"I'm no longer the poor student. Although I'm not as rich as Johny, it is pretty close. Ceres, he won't do anything to me." Kirs added.

Ceres could not make up her mind.

"Give me some time."

"Well, take your time. If you are okay with that, you can come to the robot competition with me in a few days. This is the first step." Kirs picked up Ceres's cup, filled it up with tea, and placed it back on the table. "I put some lemon in it. It'll be more refreshing."

After that, Kirs walked out of the door and returned to his office.

Ceres fell into deep thought.

The next day, Ceres drove to work. She saw Johny standing outside the building when she parked the car.

This was a share parking lot for two buildings, so Johny's car was here too.

Ceres walked over with a blank face.

"You are looking for a lawyer, right? Anyone takes your case?"

Ceres made a lot of calls last night and even called Nyla for help. Unfortunately, no law firm wanted to take over her case.

"Are you mocking me?" Ceres crossed her arms, staring at Johny. "Don't worry. I won't give up until we divorce."

Johny had a subtle expression. He was even smiling!

This smile provoked Ceres. She felt humiliated!

He didn't seem to take Ceres seriously.

"I didn't mean that. I just feel it's a tough job." Johny took out a business card from his pocket, "This is the best lawyer in the entire Imperial City. You can call him if you need a lawyer." Ceres gazed at the business card, thinking, 'Is he insane?'

'Why does he replace me a lawyer to sue him?'

"Johny, is there something wrong with your brain, or do you think I'm a fool? How can I trust your lawyer? I don't even know which side the lawyer is on."

Johny placed the business card in her car. " I'm trying to help. I'm only introducing the lawyer to you. I don't mind if you need me to pay the fees. In any case, there's no one else who can win my lawyer except for him."

Johny left.

Ceres gaped at Johny's back as he left and suddenly realized that she wasn't familiar with this man.

He was still tall and strong as usual.

Ceres picked up the business card and returned it to her office. She searched for the lawyer on the Internet. His name was Joel, and he was indeed a famous lawyer. He never lost a lawsuit.

So, Ceres dialed the number on the business card. She introduced herself when it was connected.

"Miss Ceres, how are you? Mr. Johny has told me about your matter. Don't worry. I will handle your case and handle it well. You will divorce Mr. Johny soon. And I will help you get the best compensation."

Ceres was a little confused.

So, the lawyer that Johny found for her would indeed help Ceres?

That was weird.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
