looked smug while Violet looked shocked. Both of the older women nodded when she looked at them but Gloria was as shocked as she was.
“But that’s not fair,” Violet sputtered. Harry shrugged.
“That’s straight law, you didn’t have anything when you married Jake and you didn’t change anything into your name when your married him so legally everything is his,” he informed her. She looked at David who nodded.
“They can do that, put me on an allowance for a whole year?” she asked. David cleared his throat.
“Actually a thousand dollars a month is very generous,” he told her. She looked angry.
“I spend more than that on my hair and nails,” she protested. Gloria giggled.
“I guess you’ll have to start doing your own,” she said and Violet shook her head.
“You’d do that to me, after we were married for thirty years?” she pleaded with Jake who shrugged.
“If you signed the divorce papers today, sugar, you’d have thirty-two million dollars today, plus the house and the business,” he told her and she sighed.
“Fine, I’ll sign the damned papers,” she snapped. David smiled and clicked in the computer.
“First we’ll start with the money, you say you have sixty-four million and you each have half?” he asked and Jake nodded. Violet grinned.
“Why don’t you give me all of it since you want the divorce so bad?” she suggested. Jake laughed.
“I can wait a year, can’t you, Harry?” he asked. Harry grinned and they kissed.
“I’ve waited thirty years for you, honey, another year would be easy, especially with you by my side,” he said and she glared at them.
“There are two houses,” David said. Violet smiled.
“I want them both,” she said firmly. Jake shook his head.
“You can only have one, pick the one you want,” he said just as firm. She glared at him.
“Fine, you can have the stupid beach house, we never go there anyway, it’s boring,” she stated. Harry grinned. He was getting his precious beach house back.
“Now there’s the business,” David said. Violet smiled.
“I want the business,” she said. Jake shrugged.
“You can have it, I’m opening my own practice with Harry,” he told them. Dr. Jackson laughed.
“What kind of practice is that going to be, a Vet’s office and an aquarium?” he retorted and Jake rolled his eyes. David printed out the papers and handed two copies for them both to sign. Violet reluctantly signed hers and Jake quickly signed his. Then it was over, he was a free man. Both sets of parents looked sad.
“Jake this is the worst mistake you could have made, Son, you’re going to regret doing this for the rest of your life,” Reverend Milo told him. Jake shook his head.
“I know you’re not going to believe this but I was planning on moving out the first of the year anyway. I was so miserable living with Violet and I was going to move into that old house that she and Susie used to live and try to convince Harry to date me,” he said and they all looked shocked. Violet glared at them.
“Why didn’t you stay on Mykonos, you little faggot,” she snarled. Reverend Milo looked shocked.
“Violet, there’s no need for that kind of language,” he said and took out his hankie to wipe the sweat from his brow. She shrugged.
“That’s what he is, that’s what they both are, a couple of faggots, you both make me sick,” she sneered. Jake laughed and he and Harry walked from the room. The parents looked appalled at her behavior and walked out without saying a word. Gloria shrugged.
“Well, at least you got thirty-two million from it,” she said and Violet grinned.
“I wonder if Jake remembered to close your joint checking account?” David asked and they rushed to the bank only to find out that he had taken half of it out and she closed it and opened a new one in her old name of Violet Emery. Brian smiled and held his smirk until they left.
