Chapter 293
Ellis frunció el ceño y, mientras caminaba hacia la entrada de la sala con su asistente, vio a una mujer de espaldas a él, sosteniendo dos copias de un acuerdo de divorcio en sus manos, temblando.

Inmediatamente frunció el ceño pero se detuvo en seco, sin entrar a la habitación de inmediato.
La voz de la mujer era baja, con un tono de sollozo, mientras decía con la cabeza gacha: “Howard, no quiero divorciarme…”
Howard la acusó con impaciencia. “Keera, mírate ahora, quedándote en casa todos los días. Durante todos estos años fui yo quien dirigió la empresa, ¿y tú? Acabas de dar a luz a un niño, vives aturdida todos los días y disfrutas del lujo con el dinero de la empresa durante tantos años. ¿Qué aportes ha hecho a la empresa? Ahora, ¿solo tienes una pequeña deuda y no quieres soportarla?

La voz de la mujer tembló. “¡Cuando nos graduamos, fuiste tú quien dijo que no necesitaba trabajar! Dijiste que ser tu esposa era suficiente…”

293 Renuncia a la custodia
Durante este tiempo, Keira había leído el diario de Keera.
En su diario, Keera registró los momentos felices con
Howard.
Howard, en la universidad, también había sido dulce y
Era cariñoso con Keera, y antes de casarse, después de graduarse de la universidad, Howard era el típico novio cariñoso.
Recordando el contenido del diario de Keera, Keira dijo con la cabeza gacha: “Dijiste que ir a trabajar era demasiado difícil y que administrarías la empresa por mí, que en el futuro ganarías dinero para mantener a la familia, y yo simplemente necesitaba ser hermosa.
“Dijiste que Cindy y tú solo estaban socializando, que todo era un acto, que la persona que más amaba era en realidad yo…
“También dijiste, no importa si el niño que di a luz era un niño o una niña, los amarías…
Ella estaba diciendo estas palabras en nombre de Keera.
“¡Suficiente!”
Howard claramente no quería escuchar más después de haber

Hizo tantas cosas e impidió que otros hablaran de ellas, y se rió fríamente. “Keera, ¿qué sentido tiene decir todo esto? Tengo una amante afuera, pero ¿tú te limpias? ¡¿No te has acostado con el señor Horton?!
Keira de repente lo miró con incredulidad.
¿Cómo había ocurrido esa noche con Lewis? ¿Howard no estaba consciente de ello? ¿Cómo podía decir esas cosas descaradamente?
La madre de Howard hizo un seguimiento de inmediato. “Así es, Keera, tampoco te comportaste como debería hacerlo una esposa. ¿Qué derecho tienes aquí para acusar a Howard? Simplemente firme el papel; de lo contrario, ¡no nos culpe por no ser educados!
Ellis estaba al rojo vivo de rabia al escuchar esto.
Justo cuando estaba a punto de entrar a la habitación para respaldar a Keera, escuchó a la mujer con voz temblorosa comenzar a hablar. “¡Bien, firmaré el acuerdo!”
Ellis se detuvo inmediatamente.
Actually, if Keera would just divorce like this, it wouldn’t be so bad.

waiver of Custody
After all, it was just a divorce agreement. Having signed it, given the Olsen family’s assertiveness, if Keera regretted it later and didn’t want a divorce, the agreement could completely be destroyed.
He thought about it and simply stood still, not moving

Keira appeared to be coerced, placing the divorce agreement on the table and quickly signing her name.
Cindy was pleased.
Howard breathed a sigh of relief.
Even Howard’s mother said, “Now that you’ve signed, son, go get the divorce certificate with her tomorrow!”
Howard nodded, then looked regretfully around the villa, wanting to say something, but Keira said, “Howard, I’ve agreed to all the conditions in the
divorce agreement. Could you agree to one condition
for me?”
Howard immediately asked with suspicion, “What is
it?”
Keira said weakly. “How much child support will vou

give Amy every month?”
As soon as these words came out, Howard immediately bristled. “What nonsense are you talking about? The company is in debt, and I’ve resigned. I don’t have a job right now. Where would I get the money to pay you any child support?”
Howard’s mother also said, “Keera, don’t go too far! How much money has Howard given you over the years? How much has he earned for this family? How can you still want his money after the divorce? You wish! Howard’s future income has nothing to do with your daughter. It’s all for my grandson!”
Cindy laughed as well, “Keera, legally, a father should pay 20% of his income to his child for living expenses, but Howard has already made it clear that he doesn’t have a proper job yet, and his future income is unstable, so he really can’t give you anything!”
Yet Howard had already been in touch with another employer and was preparing to start working again.
After running a business for three years, he had built up his own network. It was easy for him to find a job in the new energy sector with a monthly salary of tens of

thousands.
Otherwise, Cindy and Howard wouldn’t have so easily let go of this villa.
But this was something Cindy wouldn’t tell Keira.
Keira, upon hearing all this, looked up incredulously. She bit her lip, pretending to be aggrieved, “Howard, you’re Amy’s father, and it’s your duty to raise her… Moreover, I’m so deep in debt, and I definitely won’t have the money to raise Amy in the future. If you don’t provide child support, how will the child live?”
These words made Howard retort impatiently, “I don’t care how you live! If you can’t make it, just take her and go beg on the street!”
Howard’s mother sneered. “Exactly, Keera, you ha hands and feet. Why can’t you live on your own?”
Cindy added. “Auntie, I guess Keera hasn’t worked i several years and doesn’t want to go out and find a jo After all, working is so exhausting, and if she could get living expenses for Amy, she could just find a place to
slack off with Amy, letting Howard raise Amy…”
“She’s dreaming!” Howard’s mother shouted angrily.

293 Waiver of Custody
Keira’s voice took on a sobbing tone. “Howard, you are Amy’s father. If Amy can’t afford to go to school, there will be relevant departments that will hold you accountable! I’m not making an unreasonable request, Howard. You can’t be so heartless toward Amy… As long as you are her father, you have to take responsibility for her!”
Ellis, who was listening outside, felt a surge of anger.
What on earth was Keera doing?!
They were already divorced, and she still cared about that bit of child support? Couldn’t she be a bit more independent?
He took several deep breaths to suppress the anger welling up inside him.
He even felt that someone as defeatist as Keer deserve his support.
How could there be such weak people?!
Inside.
After Keira said her piece, she saw Howard’s mother jumping up and down in anger. “You’re already divorced, so how could Howard possibly still be her

father? Besides, with the way you mess around, it’s still uncertain whose child Amy really is! Howard, think of a way to cut ties with them, so she won’t be like a vampire sucking your blood even after the divorce!”
As soon as these words came out, Cindy immediately said, “Why not sign a waiver of custody?”
Upon hearing this, Keira narrowed her eyes.
Her goal was achieved, and it hadn’t been in vain that she had put on such an act here!
She wanted to completely sever Amy’s relationship with Howard and his family, so that in the future, Howard would have no reason to come looking for her again!
Thinking about this, she immediately shook her head and waved her hands, “No, no…”
Seeing her reaction, Howard decisively pulled out a piece of paper. “You don’t get to make the decision. I’m signing the waiver now!”
