Chapter 591 Not in the Right State
"4.4 million?" Martha was on the verge of fainting.
Being 4.4 million in debt meant that she would be burdened with 2.2 million in debt even after dividing it in half.
How could she ever repay such a massive amount?
It would be impossible to pay it back in her lifetime!
Her face turned pale with anger, and her lips turned white; she trembled as she pleaded, "Mario, we are a married couple. Y-You can't be so heartless to us, mother and daughters!"
"Of course I can!" Mario's voice was cold. It was devoid of any emotion or warmth. "Do you know what it means to despise someone to the core? I despise you and your daughter to the core! I wish both of you had never existed in this world. I wish you would disappear forever. Even if I donate all my money, I won't give you a single cent. You still want a share of my assets? Dream on!"
Martha's body swayed, and she saw stars before her eyes as she almost fell.
"Mom!" Cynthia quickly supported her.
"Get away!" Martha had nowhere to vent her anger and slapped her hard across the face.
Cynthia stumbled back, holding her face in shock. "Mom, did you… Did you hit me?"
Martha's eyes turned bloodshot as she glared at her fiercely. She had exhausted all her strength and
didn't have the energy to deliver a second slap.
This useless person who caused more harm than good!
If it wasn't for her being a smart aleck and sending someone to assassinate Lucas, he wouldn't have suddenly gone crazy and come to the Griffin Family in the middle of the night to make a deal with Mario.
She had made no preparations at all, and disaster struck out of nowhere.
What should she do now?
The five of them, mother and daughters, were about to be kicked out!
In the future, she wouldn't be the wife of the Griffin Family, and her daughters wouldn't be the young ladies of the Griffin Family either. They would all become paupers.
How would they live in the second half of their lives?
After having been accustomed to a life of luxury and being respected and flattered as wealthy people, how could they adapt to a life of poverty?
Mario once again threw the divorce agreement into Martha's arms. "If you enjoy fighting with each other, go out and fight. Don't waste my time by going crazy in front of me! I'll count to three. If you don't sign, I'll sue for divorce, and you can look forward to splitting the 4.4 million debt! One, two..."
"I'll sign it!" Martha choked and interrupted him. "Mario… You're heartless enough. I'll sign it!"
She had actually known for a long time that Mario had no feelings for her, but she didn't give up hope and always had fantasies. What if Mario softened his heart?
What if Mario also cared for his daughter?
There are no "what ifs."
Mario could soften his heart and have someone he loves, but not her or her daughters.
It was Lucas.
Mario gave all his humanity to Lucas, leaving only his barbaric nature for them, mother and daughters!
Back then, she was able to marry Mario because his parents were on her side.
But now, even Old Mr. Griffin was on his side.
Most of the power in the Griffin Family was controlled by Old Mr. Griffin, with a small portion in Mario's hands, but she had nothing.
She had no way to fight against Mario.
If Mario went all out, filed for divorce, and gave her a debt of 2.2 million, the only thing waiting for her was a dead end.
The hatred and cruelty in Mario's eyes made her understand clearly that Mario was not just threatening her.
He could really do it!
If she stubbornly refused to divorce, Mario could shamelessly give her a debt of 2.2 million.
Mario had gone crazy.
If she continued to be entangled with a madman, her fate would only be worse.
She took a few deep breaths and suppressed the pain and unwillingness in her heart; she picked up the pen while trembling.
Quinn and her sisters stomped their feet anxiously and shook her arm. "Mom, don't sign it! Don't sign it, Mom!"
Their father made it clear that after their parents divorced, they would all have to move out of the Griffin Family, and they could only take their clothes and jewelry. They wouldn't receive a single penny of the family's assets.
Why?
Their parents didn't have a son, so the family's assets should be divided equally among them—the sisters.
But now, they couldn't even get a penny of the assets. They were unwilling!
"Don’t sign it?" Martha sneered. "If I don't sign it, I'll have to take on a debt of 2.2 million. Who will repay it? You?"
Quinn and her sisters looked at each other, speechless. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Martha took a few more deep breaths and signed her name on the divorce agreement as she trembled.
She threw the signed divorce agreement at Mario and choked, "Mario, you keep saying it's all my fault, but are you not at fault? If you refused to marry me back then, how could I have married you? It's all your fault that we are all unhappy! Mario, you will face retribution for being so heartless!"
"I have already faced retribution," Mario said expressionlessly as he held the divorce agreement. "The biggest retribution I have ever experienced in my life was when I left Lucas' mother. From that moment on, I have endured the cruelest curse."
Unfortunately, he was too young at that time, and he didn't understand that losing one person was like losing the whole world.
He was naive and weak back then, thinking that he was just leaving for a while, and when he turned back, he would still have a chance to live a happy life with his beloved woman.
But it was gone.
He didn't have a chance to turn back, and his beloved woman disappeared from this world.
From that moment on, he was tormented by pain every moment.
She was in his dreams.
He wanted to trade everything he had to bring her back, but that was absolutely impossible.
She was gone forever. He would never have the chance to kiss her, hug her, see her smile at him, or snuggle in his arms.
Every day without her felt like a poisonous worm eating his heart, and it was too painful.
The only consolation in this world for him was their son.
Their son looked a lot like her; he was their bloodline, the crystallization of their love when their feelings were the strongest.
Originally, he could have been the happiest person in the world.
But he made the wrong decision, lost his love, and suffered for a lifetime.
That kind of pain was enough once.
He would protect their son well.
He would watch their son marry, have children, and be happy forever. Anyone who dared to harm him, he would make sure their ten fingers would rot, and they would have a miserable death!
His resentful gaze landed sharply on Cynthia.
Cynthia trembled and took a few steps backward instinctively.
Old Mr. Griffin noticed that Mario was not in the right state of mind and was concerned that he might behave inappropriately. He positioned himself in front of Mario and addressed Martha and her daughter. "You have one hour to gather your belongings. Pack them up and leave immediately. Do not return to this residence."
He raised his voice and summoned his personal bodyguard. "Keep a close watch on them as they pack their things. In one hour, escort them away and inform the gatekeeper that they are never to set foot inside the Griffin Residence again."
Mario sensed that his son was mentally unstable.
He had to monitor Lucas closely and limit his interactions with Martha and her daughter as he feared that his son might commit murder.
