NovelEnglishChapter 405: The Divorce Agreement James had endured a great deal recently, with his body convulsing uncontrollably.
Selena had already communicated with the hospital; now, life could only be sustained by medication. Another visit to the hospital was of little use; the key was not to excite the patient. But now, James coughed up blood. Steven and Victoria exchanged knowing glances, their eyes betraying a sense of anticipation.
If James died, they could inherit the estate! As they watched Selena approach James, she called the doctor while glancing at the paternity test, Victoria gave a cold snort.
"You can get out now. This is the Fair family's private affair, and it has nothing to do with you." No sooner had she finished speaking than Selena called for the bodyguards from outside. "Throw these people out!" Victoria was so furious she almost threw the teapot, but Selena's sharp glare stopped her.
"If you dare throw that, I'll have the bodyguard crack your skull open later." Victoria froze, then silently placed the teapot back down.
While soothing James's chest to help him breathe, Selena waited for the doctor.
The bodyguards had already escorted the three people out.
James was helped up to the bedroom on the second floor, looking even more aged. After the doctor arrived and examined James, he simply advised more rest.

"I need a paternity test done urgently, please deliver the results towhen ready." "Of course, Miss Fair." As Selena descended the stairs, she saw the servants cleaning up the blood James had spat out, the table's dishes now cold.
At that moment, a delivery arrived.
"Miss Fair, here's the birthday gift from your husband." Her husband? Raymond? Selena wasn't in the best of moods, wondering where her family would be if she weren't James's daughter. She took the package, inevitably feeling a flicker of expectation. After all, it was her birthday.
But the divorce agreement made her laugh.
On her twenty-fourth birthday, she had it all: a paternity test, a divorce agreement.
She had already signed an agreement with Raymond that they would divorce once Mr. Montague Sr.'s health improved.
Now, on her birthday, he had sent this was it a reminder not to harbor any other thoughts? He really detested her, his wife in nonly.
After sthought, she sent a message to Raymond from her private number.
"Thank you for the gift, I really like it." When Raymond saw the message, knowing it was from his wife in name, he had no desire to reply.
After dealing with a pile of documents, he finally sent a response.
"Know your place." Selena sat in the Fair family's hall, her mind already in turmoil over the paternity issue.
Hearing the notification, she glanced at her phone.
Just as she was about to reply, Mr. Montague Sr. called. "Selena, did Raymond prepare a birthday gift for you?" "Yes, Grandpa, I really like it. How are you feeling?" Her grandpa had caught a cold today and was coughing.
"I'm better. I wanted to invite you and Raymond over for dinner, cough cough, but I was worried about passing the illness on to you. I've transferred smoney to your card; go buy yourself snice gifts." Tears fell silently from James's eyes, so Mr. Montague Sr. didn't hear them.
"Thank you, Grandpa." After hanging up, she saw her phone account had received twenty million.
Her grandpa had always been generous to her, but with the agreement she signed with Raymond and now the divorce papers he'd sent, grandpa was probably truly disappointed.
She took a deep breath and waited until evening, a full six hours, for the expedited paternity test to be delivered. Looking at the words "no parental relationship" on it, she went into the bedroom where James lay.

"Selena," he called out, "don't take what your uncle said to heart. You must be my daughter."
Selena couldn't bear it, took the new al paternity test report, thought for a moment and still placed it in front of him. "Dad, I did another test."
James didn't speak, taking the report with trembling hands. When he saw the results, his eyes reddened instantly. For a moment, Selena even thought the wrinkles on his face multiplied. "Maybe we should let Alice cout." After all, Alice was indeed James's daughter.
James didn't speak, his fingers clutching the report tightly.
A man in his fifties, now as helpless as a child.
Selena also felt terrible.
The two sat in silence until James finally spoke slowly.
"Even if we let Alice out, the Fair family company will ultimately be handed over to you. I'll give Alice twenty percent of the shares." This made Selena's heart turn cold.
James was certain she would revive the Fair family. Once the company was back on its feet the twenty percent of shares in Alice's hands would be worth a lot. In other words, Selena was just a worker.
