Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart (Sebastian)
Chapter 1700

Chapter 1700

The old man was stunned, "what?"

The old lady remained calm. "I am here to pay you back the fifty thousand dollars to you, I will also pay back the interest! However, I have also brought along the ledger that I have been using for bookkeeping in those ten years today. Every single expense is recorded on it. Taking away the expenses, we should still have savings of six hundred thousand in our house. Half of the fifty thousand dollars that I had taken should be considered mine, and the other half is yours. You also have to give me half of the six hundred thousand dollars."

Neo was suddenly terrified. "Are you...here to threaten me?"

He wholeheartedly thought that the old lady was here to take care of him, but he did not expect that she was here to split up the properties with him. At that moment, Neo was not only feeling heartbroken from having his properties being divided and taken away, but he was more terrified that if he no longer has the care from the old lady in the future, he may not live for too long. He looked at the old lady in horror. The old lady, on the other hand, was still very calm.

In those ten years, all the anger and sadness in her heart had long been worn down into nothing by this d *mned old scoundrel who only pretended to maintain solemnity! she calmly said, "No, I am only taking the portion that I deserved! I will also warn you in passing that if your children come to harass me again, I will call the police! If I have no other ways to deal with you, then I will kill all of you! I am already a homeless old woman, so what should I be afraid of?"

Neo was speechless.

At that moment, Zayn spoke up. "Sir, I have contacted the people from the court. They will come over to verify your fixed assets in a while. If you can't compensate Cecilia for the property settlement that she deserved, then this house of yours will be auctioned."

"You...you want to auction off my house?" asked Neo, trembling in fear.

Not only was he going to lose someone to take care of him in the future, but even his house would be auctioned?

Zayn shrugged his shoulders innocently. "Not necessarily! If you can immediately take the money out and pay Cecilia on the spot, then no one will sell your house. Even if you can't take the money out, I'm not the one who wants to sell your house anyway. It will be executed by force from the court. They will first sell your house at an auction. After they sell the house, a portion of the money will be given to Cecilia, and the remaining sum will be returned to you!" 2

Neo was speechless. Just when he was still in a daze, the staff, who were here to examine the site, had already arrived. They asked Neo very solemnly, "Were you and Cecilia a married couple for ten years?"

Neo huffed angrily. "No, she is just a freeloading parasite!"

"Sir, please cooperate with us! Were you and Cecilia a married couple for ten years?"

Neo glared. "Yes...yes!"

"Did she take fifty thousand dollars away while the both of you were still married?" asked the examiner again.

"She stole it!"

"I'm sorry! " The examiner from the court explained to him truthfully, "If she had taken the fifty thousand dollars while both of you were still married, then she was just taking the money from her house, so there is no such thing as stealing!"

The old man was speechless.

"Even if you were separated later on, that portion of the money is still considered as a property between both of you, so twenty-five thousand dollars from that money is hers. Putting aside all the expenses through the years, both of your savings still have six hundred thousand dollars left. May I know if you have the ability to pay your ex-wife three hundred thousand dollars, no, I mean two hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars?"

Neo was speechless. At that moment he did not dare to answer. Did he have money? Yes, he did. However, he did not have as much as six hundred thousand dollars anymore. A year ago, he had six hundred thousand dollars in his house. Actually, he had even more than that. He had more than seven hundred thousand dollars. However, within that year, he had already spent more than one hundred thousand dollars on his medical treatment alone. In order to please his own children, he took out another one hundred and fifty thousand dollars and divided it between his three sons and two daughters. In other words, he had given each of his children thirty thousand dollars in hopes that they could take care of him more.

That was still nothing. Earlier on, he had hired a caregiver, who was only in her thirties. Not only was her cooking not as good as his ex-wife's, but she was also very lazy. However, she was a sweet talker.
