Chapter 114
"After we got married, Leila quit her job and had no income. She relied on me to support her. And I bought all the stuff in the house. How could she possibly divide property with me?" Patrick said arrogantly, "Once I divorce her, she'll be kicked out of my house. She'll get nothing."
Leila told him last time that if they divorced, she asked him to give her back the money she spent on the renovations.
Patrick also stressed to her that he wouldn't give her a penny if she asked for the money.
And the reason why he did not divorce Leila was that his son was still young and needed to be taken care of.
For now, he would consider Leila as a free babysitter. Moreover, he didn't have to worry about his son being abused by a hired babysitter.
Isabelle wanted to remind Patrick that his savings were marital property and that Leila would get half of his savings once Leila sued Patrick. And if Leila found out about the money he spent on her and filed a lawsuit against her, Isabelle would have to return the money and gifts to Leila.
And Patrick had been doing well in the company as the manager, so he had some connections anyway. Even if he divorced Leila, Leila would not be able to beat Patrick because she only had her sister as her family. Thinking of this, Isabelle did not say what was on her mind in case Patrick thought she was with him for his money.
What's more, Isabelle did have some feelings for Patrick. Even though there were so many executives in the company, Patrick was the youngest of them all, who was in his early thirties. And he stayed in shape. He wore a suit and tie every day. And he looked mature, calm, and handsome. Most importantly, he had a high income.
Her brother said that Patrick's monthly income was equivalent to his annual income.
As long as Isabelle could marry Patrick, she would be the one who married the most outstanding man in her neighborhood.
At this point, the hotel security guards quickly directed all the people entering and leaving the hotel to the side. Then, many tall men in black suits flanked a man coming out of the hotel. And those tall bodyguards blocked the view of many people and also led the way for that man.
Therefore, everyone knew that someone important was walking out of the hotel, but few could see clearly who the man was that was surrounded by those bodyguards.
Patrick and Isabelle were also directed aside by the security guards. Before they could figure out what was going on, the bodyguards had surrounded the man in black among them and walked out of the hotel.
Maybe it was because his vision was blurred. When Patrick looked at the man in black in the middle from a distance, he noticed that the man looked a little familiar. Unfortunately, he couldn't see him very clearly. And that man was surrounded by many bodyguards. After Patrick looked at the line of people for a few moments, they were already in the distance.
Who was that?
He felt that someone who looked a little familiar must be someone he had seen before.
Patrick searched his mind for a long time but couldn't think of who the familiar person was.
"Who is that? He has so many bodyguards surrounding him. So cool!"
Isabelle was curious about the man who was surrounded by a group of bodyguards.
The bodyguards all looked tall and imposing. They were dressed in suits and looked serious and cold. And they had handsome faces. It made Isabelle feel like she had seen a male beauty pageant.
Also, Patrick wanted to know who the man was.
Then, a middle-aged man standing next to them told them about it. The middle-aged man said, "What is this place? This is the Watenll City Hotel, which belongs to the Donovan Group, and Young Master Donovan often comes here to eat. The man who just walked out is Young Master Donovan."
"In Watenll City, only Young Master Donovan would have so many people surrounding him."
The main reason Young Master Donovan had so many bodyguards surrounding him was that he wanted to keep the fangirls away from him. He wouldn't allow young women to appear within 10 feet of him, which was similar to the young master of the Lancaster family in Hestein City.
It dawned on him when Patrick heard that the man was Young Master Donovan. He said, "No wonder there are so many bodyguards around him. It turned out that he was Young Master Donovan. Oops! What a pity! If I had known it was him, I would have squeezed to the front to see his handsome face."
Patrick had heard that Young Master Donovan was very handsome.
The middle-aged man gave Patrick a sidelong glance and laughed, "You're not bad looking, but if you compete with Young Master Donovan, you'll be defeated terribly."
Patrick wasn't mad at his words and said, "How dare I compare myself to Young Master Donovan? In Watenll City, the only person who can compete with Young Master Donovan is probably Mr. Warren Lisbon. Since I met Young Master Donovan today, it looks like I have had a lucky day. I'll go buy a lottery ticket later and see if I can hit the jackpot."
The middle-aged man laughed at Patrick's words.
Isabelle had an envious look on her face. When the middle-aged man left, she took Patrick's arm and walked to the hotel cafeteria. She said, "Young Master Donovan is like a king in Watenll City. I wonder which family's daughter could conquer a man like him."
The Donovan family was the richest in Watenll City. And Young Master Donovan was the head of the family, who managed the huge Donovan Group and owned his own private business. He was the most eligible bachelor. It was said that he still had no girlfriend.
No one had heard how many women admired him. It was probably because normal people did not get to see Young Master Donovan. Thus, no one would be obsessed and fall in love with him.
The one who had a huge crush on Young Master Donovan was Sophie, the daughter of the powerful Lisbon family.
Sophie not only expressed her feelings for Young Master Donovan in public but also pursued him passionately.
If Isabelle had the same family background as Sophie, she would dare to pursue Young Master Donovan too.
"I just saw Young Master Donovan. And it looked familiar to me. I don't know where I've seen him before."
Patrick spoke of his doubts.
Isabelle didn't want to discourage him, but she had to tell the truth. "You have no chance to meet Young Master Donovan. Our company has no clients from the Donovan Group. Even if we did do business with the Donovan Group, given our position, we wouldn't be able to meet him. Moreover, our company is still competing with a branch of Donovan Group, so it is impossible for our company to cooperate with them."
At least, they were not going to cooperate at the moment. Unless they changed their business and didn't compete with Donovan Group's branch. Given his status, Patrick knew he wouldn't be able to meet Young Master Donovan, let alone his Assistant Swan.
It was said that many of Donovan Group's employees worked for years without ever seeing Young Master Donovan in person.
"But I just thought he looked familiar."
Could Young Master Donovan be Hubert?
And the last name of Teresa's husband was Donovan. However, Patrick quickly denied that Hubert was Young Master Donovan.
When Patrick first met Hubert, he also asked Hubert if his family had something to do with the Donovan family, the richest in the city. And Hubert said they might have been a family ages ago, which meant his family had nothing to do with the richest one.
Besides, if Hubert was Young Master Donovan, how could he have married Teresa? And the car Hubert drove was a 20,000-dollar Chevrolet, which didn't match Young Master Donovan's social status at all.
