Chapter 145
Ruth was stunned for a moment when she heard that. When she saw Valerie’s calm expression, Ruth suddenly felt a little scared. I lowever, when she thought about how it was all Valerie and Matthew’s fault that Marcus was angry, she was so angry that she wanted to strangle Valeric.
At this critical juncture, they could not afford to offend the wealthy Marcus. If there were a church, Ruth would worship ircus there.
Ruth glared at Valerie. “That’s right. A useless thing like you will anger me to death sooner or later. Let’s cut ties. From today onward, you have nothing to do with me. However, I’ve raised you for so many years. You have to give me at least 40. thousand dollars in exchange.”
“Alright. Valerie’s gaze was calm. She agreed immediately.
“Mom, Valerie, calm down.” Julian was shocked and wanted to persuade them, but he could not.
After Valerie agreed, she went straight to the front desk of the hotel and asked if there was a printer. She used the printer to print out an agreement.
“From today onward, Ruth Warren will voluntarily sever the mother–daughter relationship with Valerie Warren. The support fee will be paid in one go…” Valerie signed her name and handed it to Ruth. “Mom, sign it.”
Ruth did not expect Valerie to move so quickly. However, after seeing the agreement, Marcus’s expression became better. Ruth gritted her teeth and signed her name. Halfway through signing it, she glared at Valerie suspiciously. “Where’s the money?”
Valerie took out her phone and transferred the money to Ruth’s account. “I’ve transferred 20 thousand dollars now. After signing, I’ll transfer the remaining money.”
Ruth quickly looked at her phone and confirmed that the money had indeed been transferred. She was instantly delighted, but she could not help but scold Valerie inwardly. She knew Valerie had saved a lot of money over the years. Valerie had actually agreed to 40 thousand dollars at once. If Ruth had known, she would have

asked for more..
Ruth secretly regretted it, but 40 thousand dollars was not a small amount. After Ruth signed her name, she urged, “Transfer the rest of the money now. Hurry.”
“Okay.” Valerie turned on her phone again to transfer the money. Although her income was decent, because she had to repay her brother and support her mother, she had only saved 22 thousand dollars. As for the remaining 20 thousand dollars, Valerie used the betrothal gift given by he
rother and borrowed several thousand dollars. After transferring it to her accou he directly transferred it to Ruth.
After getting the contract of severance, Valerie looked at the two names under the contract. She stared at it for a moment before neatly folding the contract and putting it into her wallet.
Matthew had been paying attention to Valerie’s every move. His low and deep voice was heard in the noisy crowd. Although it was not loud, it was especially reassuring. “If you’re worried, you can get a lawyer to notarize it. I know a good lawyer.”
“Thanks, Mr. Grant, but no need.” Valerie did not need the contract to be legally binding. She even knew the contract might not be recognized by the law. What she wanted was to have all her relatives as witnesses in front of so many people today.
Ruth took her 40 thousand dollars and disowned Valerie. If Ruth denied it later, everyone here was a witness. To Ruth, humiliation was more useful than the law.
Ruth could not wait to transfer the 40 thousand dollars into her personal bank. card as if she was afraid Valerie would want it back.
In the past, Valerie would have been angry, but she was calm now. She said seriously, “I’m a man of my word. I hope you’re the same, Ms. Stone.”
The words ‘Ms. Stone‘ stunned Ruth for a moment. Then, she could not help but curse. She had really raised an ingrate. Now, Valerie would not even call her mother. “You wretched girl, you’ll regret it sooner or later. When the time comes, I’ll ignore you even if you come back crying.”
Matthew had always been a gentleman who did not interfere too much in Valerie’s private matters. However, after Ruth received the money, she continued to curse
