Cole Stone’s house.
After changing into formal clothes, he looked through the job recruitment website in pain.
He had transferred 1.5k dollars to Eugene Neal with his credit card and also paid off his debts.
But now he had to find a job.
Just then…
A phone call came from Cara Williams.
Cole Stone was surprised and picked it up. “Miss Williams, what’s the matter?”
“Can’t I call you so we can deepen our relationship?”
Cole Stone’s breath stopped. “Yes, of course, you can. Shall we have a little chat, then?”
“I’m busy. I don’t have time.”
Cara Williams replied almost immediately.
Cole Stone: “…”
Women…
They truly were more fickle than the weather.
Cara Williams replied, “The Lewis has guaranteed that James Lewis won’t go out for the time being. You can rest assured.”
Cole Stone’s heart skipped a beat. “Miss Williams, just what exactly did you do?”
“Face slaps…”
When Cole Stone heard her answer, he was baffled. “What?”
“It doesn’t matter,” Cara Williams replied.
But Cold Stone would never have guessed that what Cara Williams said about ‘face slaps’ was literally slapping James Lewis across his face.
Cole Stone who could not wrap his head around the subject matter changed the topic.
“Miss Williams, I’m sorry for the trouble.”
“I don’t want to hear you apologize. Don’t make me say this again.”
Cole Stone interrupted.
Cole Stone bitterly smiled.
Other than these, he did not know what words he should even use to thank Cara Williams.
Now, he owed her even more.
“Oh yes—you can rest assured that they have no idea that I was standing up for you.”
Cara Williams suddenly explained.
Cole Stone was stunned for a moment.
The bitter smile on his face deepened.
Cara Williams was afraid that Cole Stone’s pride would be hurt because a woman had to stand up for him.
This was why she explained.
“Okay…”
Cole Stone hesitated.
He wanted to apologize for the trouble, but he swallowed his words. In the end, he said, “Then I’ll treat Miss Williams to a meal someday. What would you like to eat?”
In his opinion, this should be enough to express his gratitude, right?
Cara Williams became silent.
Cole Stone held his breath.
“I’m busy.”
Cara Williams ultimately replied.
Cole Stone stiffened. “All right.”
That made sense.
A woman of her caliber was bound to be busy all the time, how could she have the time to spare for him?
But hearing her answer, why did he feel a little disappointed?
Cole Stone sighed.
Cara Williams ignored what he had to say.
“Uncle Hugh will go to your house later to give you something.”
“Really? But it’s already so late. How about I’ll go to Williams Corporation tomorrow and get it myself?”
Cole Stone glanced at the clock. It was already eleven-thirty in the night.
“No. You should just sleep early and take care of yourself.”
Cara Williams turned a deaf ear to him and added. “I have to get back to work.”
With that…
Cara Williams hung up the call.
Cole Stone’s eyes widened.
At least let me finish my words!
…
Looking at his phone, Cole Stone let out a long sigh.
His emotions were complicated.
He had concealed his injury in the afternoon so that Cara Williams would not know about it. He wanted to avoid another incident…
But he did not expect that he seemed to be unable to hide anything from her.
Just then…
Ding dong!
The doorbell rang.
Cole Stone hurriedly opened the door. “Hello, Uncle Hugh!”
Hugh Williams handed over a folder with a gentle smile.
“Mr. Stone, Miss asked me to give this to you.”
He was completely different from the cold and stern person he was at the Golden K Bar.
“Thank you…”
Cole Stone took the bag and looked at the messy living room.
His expression turned awkward, but he still mustered his courage and said, “Uncle Hugh, come in and rest here for a while.”
Cole Stone truly did not expect that the other party would arrive so quickly.
Considering the mess, it would truly be embarrassing to let anyone inside his house.
Hugh Williams smiled. “There’s no need, Mr. Stone. I just happened to be on my way home and I dropped by here to deliver Miss’s package. It’s late now, so I have to go back.”
“Okay!”
“Take care then…”
Hugh Williams nodded and turned around to leave.
Cole Stone closed the door and shook his head. His apartment did not even have a gate.
Hugh Williams could come up whenever he wanted.
He did not even have time to prepare for his arrival.
If his apartment only had a gate before its doors, he would have enough time to clean his living room before a visitor came in.
Sighing, Cole Stone took out the contents of the folder that he received from Hugh Williams.
It was a stack of photos.
Cole Stone read the contents in silence.
…
Williams Corporation, top office.
Hugh Williams, who had just returned, bowed. “Miss, Mr. Stone now has it in his hands.”
“Okay…”
Cara Williams did not even raise her head.
She was looking at a few documents.
Hugh Williams bowed and left.
Silence returned to the office.
Cara Williams put down her pen and stood up.
She turned to look at the waning lights outside the window with a calm look on her face.
However, when she thought about tonight, her lips curled up subconsciously.
“You didn’t come with me to the afternoon tea party, but now you want to treat me to a meal?”
“And you didn’t even ask me a few more times after I refused!”
“I have so many people lining up for me in Sky City. How could I let you take me out so easily?”
…
The next day, 7 am.
People walked to and fro in the stairwell.
They were all office workers.
Cole Stone went out early.
He planned to apply for a job at another gym.
Now that James Lewis was in trouble, he might be able to return to his previous career.
But as soon as he stepped out of the door, something happened!
Cole Stone’s expression turned ugly as if he had stepped on a pile of feces.
“What do you want?”
“Cole Stone, will you forgive me?”
Tears welled up in her eyes.
Her cheeks were still a little swollen as she blocked Cole Stone’s path.
Cole Stone directly turned around and left.
“Stop right there!”
Jane Smith hurriedly shouted.
“State your business.”
Cole Stone’s expression was cold.
“I-I really want to get back together with you…”
“I only know how good you are when I’m by James Lewis’ side. I was enlightened yesterday and I broke up with him.”
“I beg you, forgive me! Can we go back to how we were before?”
Cole Stone was a little surprised. “Did James Lewis dump you?”
He knew that Cara Williams encountered James Lewis last night, but he never expected that James Lewis would actually dump Jane Smith so fast.
Jane Smith’s expression froze.
“How do you know—what are you talking about? I’m the one who broke up with him.”
Jane Smith’s heart skipped a beat.
Does Cole Stone know what happened to her last night?
No, that was impossible!
How could a pauper like Cole Stone have the right to visit the Golden K Bar?
How could he know about it?
It must be a wild guess!
“Don’t waste my time.”
Cole Stone wasn’t in the mood to listen to her.
Seeing Cole Stone turn around with a heart of stone, Jane Smith’s eyes became filled with hatred.
She had already lowered herself to his level!
Yet, he still refused to forgive her.
She gave him respect, but he ignored it.
Before she decided to frame Cole Stone, she considered giving him a chance.
But after seeing how ungrateful Cole Stone was…
Jane Smith completely gave up on setting everything amicably.
A man who betrayed her and hid a million dollars from her was not worth her suffering!
She would also never beg that kind of a man for forgiveness!
As she watched Cole Stone walk away, Jane Smith cried out loud.
“I’m already pregnant! Can you show me some concern? Am I being too demanding to say that I just want your attention?”
“I only said one thing, and you slapped me for it!”
“You don’t want me just because of that b*tch?!”
“Cole Stone, you’re so ruthless!”
She cried in despair!
Her voice turned hoarse with how loud she shouted.
Silence…
Every passerby in the area immediately turned their heads to Cole Stone.
Cole Stone’s face drastically changed…
