Chapter 14: A Scheme
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Cara Williams’ illogical behavior deeply shocked everybody in the bar.
Tonight, they finally understood the meaning of the word ‘overbearing’.
The arrogant James Lewis had to tuck his tail between his legs in front of Cara Williams.
His face was filled with resentment.
But he did not dare to say anything.
In James Lewis’ opinion, how could the Queen of the Williams family attack someone just because she was in a bad mood?
There must be a scheme behind this.
If he were to resist, Cara Williams might make use of this as an excuse to implicate his family.
James Lewis suppressed the violent urge to lash out in his heart.
Every heir of aristocratic families must know when to retreat and advance!
Tonight, he was going to suffer…
But every dog has its day.
The world was round and the day of his revenge would surely come.
James Lewis tried to convince himself.
But his trembling legs betrayed him.
Ultimately…
He was just afraid of being beaten up once again.
Cara Williams remained indifferent throughout
What was so difficult about beating someone up to avenge Cole Stone?
She was one of the most influential figures in Sky City, after all.
Even if the Lewis family came to seek justice, they would have to shut up if she gave them a reason.
The truth could easily be distorted with strength.
Cara Williams possessed strength that was sufficient to crush his family.
If so, her words were the truth.
In this society, the weak were not fit to speak.
James Lewis’ blood flowed down his cheeks as he lowered his head. “President Williams, are you satisfied now?”
“Satisfied?”
Cara Williams mocked. “How could I be satisfied so easily?”
James Lewis’ face changed.
“Miss, it’s about time…”
Hugh Williams bowed.
Cara Williams frowned slightly. “Forget it then. But don’t let me see you in Sky City again.”
James Lewis’ face distorted.
“President Williams—”
James Lewis wanted to say something.
But Hugh Williams directed a cold gaze at him.
James Lewis stammered. “Okay, I understand.”
Cara Williams left.
…
For a long time, no one in the bar dared to speak.
At this moment, James Lewis was still gnashing his teeth.
The look on his face was a definite sign that the volcano inside of him was about to erupt.
How could they still dare to speak?
Jane Smith moved closer to James Lewis and asked, “Are you okay?”
She looked concerned but her eyes flashed with a hint of resentment.
James Lewis’ action of pushing her away in front of the entire bar made her feel humiliated and resentful.
But if she did not care for him right now, how could she show everyone that she was James Lewis’ girlfriend?
Just then…
James Lewis unexpectedly turned around and viciously slapped Jane Smith across the face.
Slap!
Jane Smith’s cheek burned in pain. She asked in disbelief, “W-why?”
“Get out!”
James Lewis finally erupted. “If it wasn’t for a jinx like you making me humiliate Cole Stone, why would I come to the bar to celebrate today? Why would I be targeted by Cara Williams? This is all your fault!”
Jane Smith was stunned.
Cara Williams was the one who slapped him.
But she was the one who had to bear the brunt of the blame?
And he even used such a nonsensical reason to berate her…
She had never suffered such grievances even when she was still with Cole Stone!
Jane Smith felt her blood boil. She shrieked like a banshee. “James Lewis, are you crazy? She was the one that hit you—”
Slap!
Another slap came down.
This time, Jane Smith was sent flying, unable to resist.
James Lewis was both furious and shocked when he heard what she said!
This stupid woman actually dared to scold Cara Williams?
It was one thing for her to seek death, but to include him in her death wish?
If Cara Williams’ men heard her words, wouldn’t he be slapped in the face once again?
“Shut up and get lost! I don’t want to see you anymore!” James Lewis roared.
Everyone in the bar kept quiet out of fear.
But some people in the crowd had gloating looks in their eyes.
…
11.30p.m.
At the riverside.
“I can’t believe he dumped me.”
“I’m already one month pregnant—that douchebag!”
“He said that he would definitely not let me down. Just because he was beaten up by a woman, he actually vented his anger out on me.”
Jane Smith held a bottle of beer as she complained to Quinn Young.
Quinn Young wanted to complain to Jane Smith about losing her job, but when she saw Jane Smith in this state, she could only comfort her first. “Just forget about it…”
“Tom White told me that even the Lewis family doesn’t know what trouble James Lewis has gotten himself into. His family doesn’t have the intention to help him…”
“They are clearly afraid of Cara Williams…”
“James Lewis was the one who was wronged, but he ended up being grounded and going through additional suffering when the Lewis family came to know about what had happened in the bar.”
“Right now, the heirs of the elites in Sky City are laughing at James Lewis…”
“But that scumbag deserves it!”
Jane Smith bitterly cried. “He only lost his dignity and freedom. What I lost was my future!”
James Lewis left her out in the cold.
What would happen to her finances from now on?
Quinn Young rolled her eyes. “You can go and find Cole Stone. Just apologize to him, and he will definitely take you back without kicking up a fuss.”
“Cole Stone?”
Jane Smith muttered. She got even angrier. “You want me to apologize to him? Impossible!”
“Also, he’s only a pauper. He has no right to be with me.”
Even if James Lewis had already abandoned her, Jane Smith knew that she still had to maintain a sense of superiority.
Surrender herself to Cole Stone and apologize?
No way!
Quinn Young sneered. “Who said that he doesn’t have money?”
“He has more than a million dollars in savings in his bank account.”
“What?”
Jane Smith’s eyes widened. “That’s impossible! I checked his balance before and he was broke. That’s why I broke up with him. How could he have a million dollars?”
The house they bought was not even worth a million.
“Of course, he hid it from you! You know what, this afternoon—”
Quinn Young recounted the incident and mentioned what happened earlier in the afternoon.
Her eyes were filled with hatred throughout her explanation.
Jane Smith’s expression changed. “Does that mean that he still has a million dollars on him?”
“That’s right!”
Quinn Young was indignant as if Cole Stone had done something wrong. “He must have betrayed you for him to secretly hide a million dollars! That is probably why he has the confidence to remain so stubborn without apologizing.”
Jane Smith gritted her teeth. “That douchebag will die a horrible death! If he had taken out that money earlier, I wouldn’t even have to leave him.”
“Exactly!”
Quinn Young echoed. “So, you must take back the million dollars that originally belongs to you.”
Jane Smith frowned. “But—but how am I going to make him give me the million dollars?”
“He won’t give it to you, yes—but why not you go get it yourself?”
Quinn Young pointed at the stack of photos beside Jane Smith and looked at her meaningfully.
Jane Smith looked at the photo. She fell into a daze.
“When the time comes, not only this million dollars, but you can also take back the other half of that house. To do this, you just have to—”
Quinn Young lowered her voice and shared her thoughts.
Jane Smith’s eyes gradually lit up!
