Chapter 60
As Nadine’s eyes fell upon Brad standing at the doorway, she paused for a moment. However, she quickly regained her composure.
Her clear eyes showed no ripples of emotion as if she were looking at a stranger.
She’d already packed her bags and planned to leave with Sean by now, but Gigi and Evelyn’s troublemaking threw a wrench in her plans.
Though she was worried that Sean’s material needs might not be met, she ultimately decided to take him with her. After all, Brad was not Sean’s biological father. Once he married Jean, Sean would have a stepmother and a stepfather.
Nadine’s face was cold as she tried to push away Brad, who was blocking the door, but he just wouldn’t budge.
“Is there anything else?” she asked impatiently.
With her extremely unpleasant tone and disgust in her eyes, she presented a stark contrast to her usual gentle demeanor.
Brad stared at Nadine. Her personality had changed so drastically that he was momentarily stunned, Was this still the Nadine he knew? Seeing the undisguised disgust in Nadine’s eyes, he took a step forward instead of backing away.
“Of course! After all these years, I have been providing you with everything from clothes to necessities.
“On another note, there’s still the matter of the one million dollars you owe me for my sacrificed youth. Shouldn’t we resolve this before you leave?
Nadine was so enraged by his words that it felt like she was about to have a heart attack. What kind of man was Brad? How could she not know that he was such a despicable person?
“A million? Why don’t you just go rob a bank? Brad, are you insane? How dare you even ask for that?”

“You’re bound to be alienated because of how brazen you are!”
At that moment, every fiber of her being wanted to scream insults at the scumbag.
If Sean weren’t next door and concern for setting a good example for the child weren’t holding her back, she would have cursed him out with every insult in her arsenal.
Noticing Nadine’s exasperation, Brad felt no remorse. In Heen smirked at her. “Are you implying that both you and Sean are useless?
“Besides, you were the one who agreed to the one million dollars. You said that as long as I agreed to the divorce, you’d agree to any condition.
“What? Were you just spouting nonsense back then?”
Brad’s self–righteous demeanor sharply contrasted with his usual well–dressed appearance. He was the very image of a scoundrel.
Nadine’s anger was so
Intense that her heart felt like it was lodged in her throat. As her chest tightened, she couldn’t speak for a long moment.
Brad was right. Back when desperation fueled her desire for a quick divorce, she blurted, “I only Sean, you can set any conditions you want!”

Now, those words were being used against her. Unbelievable! This was beyond ridiculous! It was utterly outrageous!
Brad couldn’t help but feel a hint of smug satisfaction as Nadine glared at him, speechless with fury.
He found this fiery side of Nadine surprisingly adorable. It was a stark contrast to her usual meek and submissive demeanor.
Since she remained silent, he added, “These are my terms. I’ll sign the divorce papers immediately if you can meet them.”
The sight of this seemingly gentle person exploding with rage was a spectacle. To prevent her from having a stroke, it was crucial to let her cool down. After all, if she truly became enraged and fainted, the fun of teasing her would be over.
After a series of internal struggles, Nadine finally suppressed the anger in her heart. Taking a deep breath, she rasped, “Fine! I’ll give you one million dollars. Now, can you please sign the divorce papers?”
