Chapter 658 Marital Obligations
J had a fierce, almost aggressive air about her as she spoke.
It surprised Brandon enough that he unconsciously squared his shoulders.
Johanna didn''t expect her daughter to straight-up ask for a divorce. But it wasn''t an entirely bad
idea, seeing as how indifferent Brandon was to her. At his current state, the man didn''t deserve
J at all.
"This time, it''s all your fault," Johannamented. "You''ve been ignoring your wife all this time. She
has a perfectly healthy husband, but she is forced to live the life of a widow. Let me make things
clear for you, Brandon. If you and my daughter get a divorce, the Larson Group will be regarded as
an enemy of the White family. The decision is yours. I suggest you think about it very carefully."
"J," Beal interjected in a quiet but serious tone, "if you really want a divorce, I''ll call our family
lawyer over. He can be here by tomorrow." Brandon lowered his eyes. With Beal''s words, he could
tell that the couple were willing to support J''s pursuit of a divorce. It was no mere threat.

However, the White family was a formidable force in Barnes. If he went up against them in any way,
it would damage the interests of hispany. Notwithstanding the losses he might incur, he also
had to answer to the tens of thousands of employees under the Larson Group. He might be able to
shoulder most of the burden, but he couldn''t take the risk of endangering the livelihood of his
people.
"What do you want me to do?" Brandon asked, his voice sounding deeper than usual.
J took out a folder and tossed it on the table in front of him. "This contract stiptes all the
marital obligations you need to carry out as a husband. This is the least you can do for me. We are
getting divorced otherwise."
She had a cold and distant expression as she leaned back on the sofa and stared at Brandon.
Johanna sighed to herself in relief. Her daughter had looked so distraught these past few days as
she pined for her absent husband. Johanna had suspected that J might never give up on
Brandon to her own detriment.
She was d to see her daughter holding up her own during this confrontation. The White family
had more properties than they could care for. If J somehow ended up divorcing Brandon, she
could just take over the family business. She was smart and talented, and could definitely live a
better life.
The more Johanna thought about it, the more convinced she was that a divorce would be the best
course of action.
Brandon wordlessly picked up the documents and leafed through the pages.
ording to the contract, he needed to spend the night at home for at least five days a week, and
had to stay at least one day for the weekend.
On holidays, he had to make time to apany J to whatever event she was hosting or
attending. He would also have toe home and tend to her whenever she was sick or injured.
There were many more simr instances cited on the paper, but none of them were excessive.
"Mr. Larson, I''m assuming that you already know what to do. The terms I''veid down are nothing
more than the barest duties a husband must attend to. If you can''t even aplish these, then
there is no need to continue this marriage." J spoke slowly. Her voice rang out clearly in the
room, and her calm tone only served to make her more intimidating.
Brandon rubbed the paper between his thumb and forefinger as he considered his options. Then he
looked up and met J''s eyes. "Your requirements are well within reason. All right, let us proceed
with this contract."
J raised her chin and smiled. "Good. Then we will follow the terms as stipted."
She stood up and added, "By the way, I expect you toe home tonight."
J and her parents then walked out of the Larson Group building and got into their car.
Johanna peered at her daughter for a while before saying, "My dear, what if Brandon refused to
agree to your terms? Were you really going to divorce him?"
A yful smile was dancing on J''s lips. She turned to her mother and said firmly, "I have never
considered divorcing him, not even for a second."
