Chapter 29
Ned was silent for a moment. In the end, when he said that he would contact Lawson Jr., Edith thought, “I guessed right. As expected, Simon has a private number, and I don’t know it”
Edith couldn’t get any information about her husband. Every day, she could only rely on gossip magazines to know what Simon had done yesterday, it was really ridiculous.
She decided to have a showdown this time and end this abnormal marriage.
Ater a while, Edith’s phone rang. It was a call from “Simon“.
Edith was nervous, and her heart trembled when she heard the ringtone.
It was she who wanted to contact Lawson Jr., but she was scared.
Edith took a few deep breaths before she plucked up the courage to answer the phone. She thought that the person on the other end of the line would angrily ask her what she wanted, and she didn’t expect him to be silent for a long time. She felt strange.
In the end. Edith had no choice but to say, “Hello, Mr. Lawson, I am your nominal wife. I know that you don’t care about me. You just want to appease your family, but… this is about my whole life. You don’t love me or want to be with me, and I have no feelings for you either, and I don’t cover your property.
“There are so many good girls in Caurtine, and most of them have good family backgrounds. I am just an inconspicuous one. I hope you can consider carefully whether to divorce me and set me free.”
Edith finally said these words, and she felt much better. Her palms were sweaty and made her mobile phone sticky. She was relieved, but she was worried about his answer.
His slightly low and hoarse voice echoed in her ear. Lawson Jr. seemed to be a little tired, so he sounded lazy and sexy.
His voice was familiar. Edith felt she had heard it somewhere.
“You’re in no place to negotiate with me.”
“Eh?” Edith was stunned and confused for a moment. “Since you don’t love me, why are you unwilling to divorce me? You haven’t.”
She couldn’t finish her words.
“This is my business. You have no right to interfere. We can talk about it when you’re qualified to negotiate with me. I won’t do business that will make me lose money. You are just like a trophy my family got at high costs, so you should behave yourself. If you want to negotiate with me, wait until you have enough money to redeem yourself.”
A cold and emotionless voice sounded, and then Lawson Jr. hung up mercilessly.
Edith thought, “A trophy at high costs.
He actually thought me as a trophy wife
This is an insult, night?”
Edith gritted her teeth and put down her phone.
After thinking for a while, she called Glenn and asked directly, “Glenn, how much benefit did the Lawson family offer to you that you finally decided to marry me to their family?”
“Why… why did you suddenly ask this?” Glenn stammered.
Just tell me. I’ve already married a Lawson. What can I do to change that?”

Glenn was relieved to hear that and said. “They gave us contracts worth 200 million dollars. I think that the long–term profit will be more than that. Our company will soon go public.”
200 million dollars….
These words echoed in Edith’s mind, and was a huge blow to her. No wonder “Simon” said that about her. She was indeed just like a trophy they got at high costs. How could she have the right to negotiate with him about her freedom?
Edith didn’t know how she had hung up the phone. She fell on the sofa despondently as if all the blood in her body had been drained.
She gritted her teeth and pulled herself together. Edith was a little unwilling to give up. She had her pride.
She was humiliated, so she had to fight back.
Edith wrote a text message.
At the same time, in the office on the top floor of the Lawstom Group, Carlos was resting with his eyes closed when he heard his phone vibrating.
He glanced at it, suddenly became interested, and checked it.
“Thank you, Mr. Lawson, for thinking so highly of me and offering me a high price of 200 million dollars. I will work hard to make myself qualified to negotiate with you. Don’t look down on me.”
After reading it, Carlos smiled slightly.
He felt Edith was really interesting.
