Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Being scolded by everyone, Jane Smith’s face turned pale.

She sat on the ground and didn’t even dare to retort.

The crowd quickly surrounded her.

They pointed at Jane Smith and scolded her fiercely before leaving.

Cole Stone originally wanted to leave too.

But Quinn Young appeared out of nowhere. “Cole Stone, wait.”

“Still won’t leave me alone?”

Cole Stone stared at her coldly. “My patience is limited. Don’t force me to call the police.”

“I just want to talk to you about this matter and solve it once and for all,” Quinn Young said.

Jane Smith had already stood up and walked to Quinn Young’s side.

Her face was pale. It was understandable after she was scolded so fiercely by the crowd.

This was the first time that she experienced what it felt like to be condemned by everyone!

“How about this, you definitely won’t want to see us again.” Quinn Young smiled. “As long as you delete all of those chat records, we won’t pester you anymore.”

Jane Smith’s expression changed.

What did Quinn Young mean by this?

They didn’t talk about this move yesterday!

Cole Stone’s gaze shifted slightly.

But his expression remained cold. “No need.”

“It should be a good deal on your end…”

“Delete the chat records and then forget about Jane. Wouldn’t that give you some peace?”

Cole Stone looked at Quinn Young mockingly. “If it makes you disgusted, why should I delete it?”

Quinn Young held onto Jane Smith, who was about to flare up. “What conditions do you want?”

“Conditions?”

Cole Stone said calmly, “Go and kill yourselves.”

Even though Quinn Young came prepared, she was still enraged.

When did Cole Stone become so ruthless?

Wasn’t he an honest and considerate man in the past?

She gritted her teeth. “Why must you treat us like this? We are being sincere here!”

“You’re the one who wants to talk, not me.”

Cole Stone mocked.

Quinn Young wanted to flare up, but when she thought of her plans, she had no choice but to swallow her anger. “How about this? Jane will give you a copy of the key to that house. Then, you can go ahead and delete the chat records?”

Jane Smith’s expression changed.

“And then change it into another lock afterwards?”

Cole Stone mocked them even more.

“I promise you we won’t.”

“And even if we changed the lock, you could call a locksmith. You’re part owner of the house anyway.” f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶

After Quinn Young finished speaking, she pressed Jane Smith’s palm.

Jane Smith could only nod her head.

But Cole Stone said slowly, “That’s not enough. That house is mine to begin with.”

“Is the reason why you want me to delete those chat records is that you want Jane to seamlessly marry into another rich family?”

“If that’s the case, then you have to pay a heavier price to convince me.”

Jane Smith gnashed her teeth.

How she wished she could swallow Cole Stone whole, but she could only take a deep breath.

“Then what exactly do you want?”

“It’s simple.”

Cole Stone calmly added. “Give me back the money my mother gave you, and also the other half of the house.”

He knew very well that it was very difficult for him to get the house back.

A few chat records weren’t worth so much money.

But since it was a negotiation, he had the right to raise the ante.

“No way!”

Jane Smith angrily retorted.

Quinn Young frowned. “Cole Stone, the house is off-limits. Even if you filed a lawsuit, we won’t give you the house.”

“But you can ask Jane to return the money your mother gave her to you.”

Jane Smith hurriedly stopped Quinn Young. “But it’s my money!”

“No—that was my mother’s money.”

Cole Stone stared coldly at Jane Smith.

Jane Smith shuddered in fear.

Quinn Young pulled Jane Smith back.

“How about we settle it this way? Jane will return you the money your mother gave her, and pay you another eight thousand dollars. What do you think?”

“16 thousand dollars and the key to the new house.”

Cole Stone’s expression remained unmoved.

“10 thousand.” 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚

Quinn Young gnashed her teeth.

Jane Smith looked as if her heart was bleeding.

“Sure.”

Cole Stone nodded. “Transfer the money then.”

The money he had wasted overall was way more than 10 thousand dollars.

But it did not matter anymore.

Quinn Young looked at Jane Smith. “Go ahead.”

“Can’t we do it tomorrow?” Jane Smith still did not want to pay.

“Then I’ll go back and make a backup copy,” Cole Stone said with a smirk.

Jane Smith took a deep breath and finally took out her phone and a key.

“Ten thousand and five hundred dollars, transferred.”

That was the ten thousand dollars and the money from his mother.

“Deleted.”

Cole Stone deleted the records and removed her as a friend in front of them.

“If I ever saw you two again, don’t blame me for being merciless and chasing both of you away.”

The chat records with value were only a few, but their conversation in the app lasted for over six years.

Cole Stone thought he would find it painful to delete their messages.

But unexpectedly, he didn’t feel any pain.

“Okay…”

Quinn Young answered on Jane Smith’s behalf.

She had to answer on Jane Smith’s behalf for the latter was currently so aggrieved that she could not reply.

Even if she ended up squeezing as much money as she could from both James Lewis and Cole Stone in the future, she would still forever remember the pain she experienced today.

Cole Stone ignored her flushed face and turned around to leave.

…

Quinn Young’s house.

“Just what kind of an idea was that earlier? And you even forced me to listen to you!’

“Why didn’t you let me bring the photos James Lewis gave me this morning?”

Jane Smith was so angry that she seemed to have gone crazy. “You made me kick up a fuss, but I couldn’t even get a single cent from him. In the end, I even got scolded by the crowd and lost 10 thousand dollars in exchange for a few useless chat records!”

“What’s up with that, Quinn Young?!”

The more Jane Smith thought about it, the angrier she got.

But Quinn Young was not in a hurry at all.

Instead, she revealed a victorious smile.

“Who told you that we’ll get you the money by kicking up a fuss?”

“What do you mean?”

Jane Smith was stunned.
