Breaking Free from the Ex-Husband novel Chapter 17

Chapter 17

Three years ago, let alone for 50 million dollars, even for 500 thousand dollars, they would have tried every means to get her to marry Heriberto.

However, there was a huge amount of assets under Marie’s name that her parents didn’t know about. Marie had hidden it very well.

It was not until a month before her death that Marie transferred this huge asset to Iris’s name.

This huge asset was all the properties on an entire pedestrian street in the most prosperous area of Ardiham.

This pedestrian street was the center of the whole Ardiham. The annual rent collection alone reached 800 million dol- lars and was still growing every year.

This huge asset was passed down from Marie’s mother to Marie. Marie never mentioned it to anyone.

When Marie married into the Aguilera family back then, they were booming, even more so than the current Hale fam- ily.

But Iris’s grandpa and father weren’t business–minded. Slowly, the Aguilera family fell apart and went bankrupt.

Marie could have saved the Aguilera family with that prime real estate on the pedestrian street.

Iris’s parents were ungrateful and greedy. They were the black sheep of the family. Marie had to endure the pain of seeing the Aguilera family decline step by step. She kept the existence of this street a secret from them.

Fortunately, Marie passed away before the Aguilera family went broke. So she didn’t have to witness the heartbroken

scene.

Although this street was now Iris’s personal asset, she didn’t manage it herself. Instead, she handed it over to profes- sional managers.

The huge income generated by this street every year was used for various investments.

Money made more money. Iris didn’t know exactly how much she had.

It was a huge amount.

But she never touched the money Marie set aside for charity. It was still donated every year.

Now, Iris changed her mindset.

Since Marie died, Iris had been busy studying or trying to please the Hale family.

Now, it was time for her to be herself.

Chapter 17

Coming out of the inpatient building, Iris took out her phone and made a call.

“Merlin.” The call was quickly connected, and Iris greeted sweetly.

“Iris, how have you been recently?” Merlin asked lovingly on the other end.

He saw the reports about Heriberto and Melanie these days.

He was worried about Iris. Yet, thinking that Iris had enough money to leave Heriberto and live well, he didn’t take the initiative to call her.

When Marie was still alive, Merlin had been helping to manage the pedestrian street.

After Marie passed away, Iris trusted him and treated him like a family member. Naturally, he felt obliged to help manage everything on the pedestrian street, making Iris’s assets grow crazily every year.

“Thank you, Merlin. I’m fine. Don’t worry about me,” Iris smiled sweetly. “I’m calling you today to discuss something with you.”

Merlin said, “What is it? I’m all ears.‘
