After three years of marriage, Wendy Stewart was used to Michael Lucas's sarcastic remarks, his frequent threats about getting divorced, and even his indulgence of a mistress. She thought that she could bear with this her entire life, until she accidentally got pregnant with a child that Michael did not want. Finally despondent, Wendy signed the divorce agreement and left. She thought they could have parted ways forever, but Michael refused to stop looking for her after the divorce. When they met again, she was the world's top designer. Smiling sweetly at her ex-husband, she said, "My dear, we're already divorced." Michael simply stared at her coldly, "Tell me, what will it take for us to reconcile?"
Michael had said to use the money prudently so it would last Zen through the birth of her child. Wendy felt like rolling her eyes at him. Two hundred thousand was enough to last a regular family at least ten years! Michael had been born into a wealthy family and obviously had no concept of money.
However, she gave credit where it was due and firmly patted Michael on his shoulder. "Well done, you thought of everything," she commended him with a smile.
Wendy closed the case and passed it to Zen. Two hundred thousand in notes was quite heavy after all. Putting the case next to Zen, she said, "Take this with you."
"I cannot take..." Zen wanted to reject the money. She was too embarrassed to accept money from Michael and Wendy.
"Do you have any money on you?" Wendy asked.
"Yes, don't worry," replied Zen.
"Take it out and show me," Wendy persisted.
