Chapter 1: Dumped

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Cole Stone was at his girlfriend’s house, Jane Smith.

His future mother-in-law had invited him over to talk about their marriage!

Cole Stone hung his head low, afraid to look directly into the eyes of his future mother-in-law, Susan Collins.

“Say something!”

Susan Collins snapped.

Jane Smith’s brother—Flint Smith—spat out the shell of a sunflower seed in front of Cole Stone.

“Auntie, I’m sorry. I really can’t do it.”

Cole Stone clenched his teeth and forced out these words.

Susan Collins’ expression turned. “You can’t even afford a dowry of 4 thousand dollars for my Jane Smith?”

“I’ve just bought the house, I really can’t afford it just yet.” Cole Stone’s smile looked bitter. He looked as if he was about to cry.

“Get out!”

Susan Collins scolded.

“If you can’t even fork out 4 thousand dollars, how dare you think of marrying my Jane Smith?”

“Exactly.”

Flint Smith spat the remaining shells from his mouth into the bin and dusted his hands clean. He then pointed at Cole Stone’s nose and said, “How am I going to get a wife if you don’t have 25 thousand dollars to spare?”

Cole Stone looked desperately at Jane Smith beside him. “Jane…”

Jane Smith coldly ignored him.

“Don’t address her so intimately anymore. It’s over between the two of you.”

Susan Collins pulled Cole Stone up.

However, Cole Stone still had hopes in his heart that everything would work out in the end. He said in defiance. “Jane, you’ve got to help me! You have to say something! I’ve already saved up enough money for the down payment of our house!”

Jane Smith shook her head and replied, “No! My brother has to get married too. If you don’t have enough money for his dowry, we should just break up.”

Hearing Jane Smith’s heartless words, Cole Stone paled. “Didn’t we agree that if I paid for your school fees, we’ll get married after your graduation?”

Jane Smith retorted agitatedly as if someone had suddenly grabbed her by the foot.

“Cole Stone, what did you say?”

“Are you trying to use the fact that you paid for my school fees to force me into marrying you?”

“You’re right. I had to make you take a loan to pay for my studies, but it was all because my family was against my choice of choosing you back then! Also, didn’t you agree to it yourself? I never forced you into doing it…”

“Now that my brother wants to get married, you can’t even do anything to help. There’s no way that I’ll marry you if you cannot help my brother…”

“First, you are penniless. Second, you are uneducated. I am way out of your league! Love alone is not going to feed us, Cole Stone! We’re adults! Can you be more practical?”

Jane Smith’s cruel and sharp words stabbed a hole through Cole Stone’s heart.

Cole Stone looked as if he was about to collapse right there and then.

He could not handle how his girlfriend of so many years suddenly turned against him.

The sweeter the memories of their past were, the more pain he felt at this moment.

Flint Smith sneered.

“You’re not worthy of my sister. As she said, she’s way out of your league! She has tons of other suitors, just who are you to pursue her?”

Susan Collins became even more annoyed. “Stop with this useless talk. James Lewis will be picking us up in a Ferrari later. He’ll also be bringing us out for dinner. Make sure that he won’t know about all of these…”

Cole Stone was stunned.

His eyes became devoid of feelings as he asked, “You’re still talking with James Lewis?”

James Lewis was Jane Smith’s ex when she was still in university.

He was wealthy, but he was dumped by Jane Smith after he cheated on her.

Cole Stone started dating her afterwards.

He thought that the two of them had already cut off all ties between each other…

But now, he discovered that she was still secretly in contact with James Lewis.

Jane Smith averted her gaze.

But after thinking about how she had already broken up with Cole Stone, she replied haughtily.

“It’s none of your business.”

“Okay…”

“All right, it’s none of my business.”

Cole Stone’s eyes turned bloodshot and his face filled with despair.

“I took a loan to pay for your tuition fees; I took part-time jobs to buy the branded bags that you’ve always wanted; I worked overtime every day and got my parents to take a loan out for the down payment of the house that you’ve asked for…”

“But in the end, you dumped me all because of your scumbag brother’s dowry money?”

“And you were still in contact with that bastard James Lewis all along?”

“I finally understand…”

“I finally understand what a truly wicked woman is, and the meaning of disloyalty…”

“Hahaha…”

“Jane Smith!”

“You’re tossing me aside like trash? After using me?!”

Cole Stone was provoked to the point of hysteria.

Jane Smith’s face changed. “What nonsense are you saying?”

“Don’t you know what I’m saying?” Cole Stone screamed. He was absolutely heartbroken.

He had always believed that by enduring the difficulties posed by the mother-in-law and buying a house, he would be able to attain happiness.

That was why he tolerated everything.

However, he finally realized painfully that…

It was all just his wishful thinking.

Jane Smith did not look at him out of guilt.

At that moment…

Cole Stone felt a surge of pain from his back. He fell over pathetically. “Ahhh…”

Flint Smith kicked Cole Stone onto the floor.

Flint Smith retracted his leg and spat on him. “What are you shouting for? It’s annoying to listen to a beggar like you screaming around in our residence. Get lost!”

“Good job!” Susan Collins was overjoyed.

Seeing how pathetic Cole Stone was, Susan Collins was over the moon.

How dare this beggar scold them?

He should just die!

Cole Stone endured the pain and stood up.

He glared fiercely at Flint Smith.

He was a gym trainer.

If he were not deeply hurt by Jane Smith, there was no way that attack would have succeeded.

Flint Smith was scared.

The Cole Stone with bloodshot eyes gave off a terrifying aura.

Jane Smith immediately moved forward and blocked Flint Smith.

She glared at Cole Stone and said, “What do you want? Are you going to hit my brother? Do you really think that I won’t call the police? Cole Stone, I knew you were a violent beast!”

“Sooner or later, you will end up hurting my family!”

“Luckily, I broke up with you before you could…”

“Otherwise, I would have regretted it throughout my entire life.”

Cole Stone was shocked that Jane Smith could twist the truth to such an extent.

Her brother attacked him first, but how did he end up in the wrong?

Flint Smith said smugly. “Come and hit me, Cole Stone! I’ll stand here. Come on, hit me!”

Cole Stone ignored his words. He stared blankly at Jane Smith’s cold expression. After a long time, he finally said with a broken smile. “Alright, alright… Jane Smith, from now on. We have nothing to do with each other.”

With that, Cole Stone turned to leave the house.

“Scram! You’re just a beggar who only knows how to speak nonsense…”

“Who do you think you are?”

Susan Collins shouted and slammed the door.

Bang!

A heavy thud followed.

The thud was deafening.

Gazing at the shut door, Cole Stone’s eyes turned red and he clenched his fist so tight they turned white.

He swore that he would make Jane Smith regret this decision of hers one day!

But Cole Stone would never have imagined that the day Jane Smith would come crawling back to his feet was much closer than he thought…
