"They're all just looking for trouble with Catherine anyway. Let them make a mess of things themselves first; let's see if they still have the energy to bother anyone else."
"No, no, no! You're asking too much!"
Channing, thinking of Tracy's temperament, immediately rejected Bert's proposal several times. If he filed for divorce, Tracy would likely tear his household apart—especially since it would be for remarrying Renata.
But Bert didn't hesitate. He pulled a check from his pocket, signed it, and handed it to Channing:
"This is eight million."
Channing's eyes lit up at the sight of the check. He instinctively reached out and took it.
"Mr. Channing, once you take this money, you must act properly," Bert said with a faint smile.
"As long as Mr. Channing divorces first, I will continue to inject funds afterward, ensuring your company is revived and can continue to operate successfully."
Having said this, Bert stood up, ready to leave. Channing hurriedly grabbed him:
"Bert!"
