Chapter 39 Who’s The Smuggest?

Susan got excited. She had realized that this was her chance to suck blood from her daughter again.

Standing up, she extended her hand to Jane. “One hundred thousand dollars. We won’t say anything.”

Her thoughts were simple.

Don’t you want the mother and son to keep their mouths shut so that they won’t hinder you from climbing up the social ladder?

You can if you give them money!

They wanted to squeeze the last bit of blood out of Jane.

Since they were going to part ways in the future, they naturally wanted to take out as much money as they could.

Flint also threatened his sister. “One hundred thousand, just one hundred thousand dollars.”

He could not get Cole’s money.

They would take it from Jane.

They thought that this move would make Jane panic.

However, Jane revealed a strange smile. “Do you think I didn’t guard against you two?”

“What?”

Flint and Susan were stunned.

“When you called me to ask where Cole lived, I knew that you had been cornered by the betrothal money.”

Jane sneered. “Don’t I know what the two of you are like? If you couldn’t get money from Cole later, I knew you’d l come to me.

“So, to prevent you from sucking my blood, I just went home to deal with the report. Don’t worry! You won’t get anything.”

After saying that, Jane smiled victoriously.

Flint and Susan turned pale.

“Also, there’s no need for you to worry. I already had an abortion yesterday.”

Jane mocked them, “You guys should think about how to pay the betrothal money.”

Then…

Jane left smugly.

Susan and Flint froze on the spot.

They had no chance.

When Jane passed by Cole, she stopped for a moment and coldly said, “We’ll settle our scores slowly. If the Yeagers wants to kill you, it’s as easy as crushing a worm.”

Cole did not panic when he heard this. Instead, he revealed a teasing expression.

“The Yeagers can crush me however they want, but let me remind you out of kindness…

“Remember to practice your skills. Even James Lewis finds you inferior to a young model. Charles Yeager, who has seen countless women, should have higher standards.”

He said those words.

Jane’s face was ashen.

Every time Cole said this, it was a lethal blow to her.

But this time, Jane did not forget to retaliate.

She mocked him. “So what? It’s better than someone who was with me and didn’t even lie on the bed together. “What a piece of trash.”

When Jane was with Cole, she did not plan to get a room with him.

Not to mention doing those indescribable things.

However, this was also related to Cole’s serious and responsible attitude.

Cole felt that the act before marriage was too risky and it was difficult to predict the future, so he had always firmly rejected premarital exercise.

Now that Jane mentioned that matter, it was obvious that she was here to attack him.

However, Cole’s expression did not change at all. He sneered. “I’m not interested in whores.”

Silence!

Jane’s expression was ugly.

The smugness she felt from crushing Susan and Flint disappeared without a trace. All that was left was anger.

The last time she had been humiliated on the streets, she had also been called a whore.

And Cole called her a whore again…

It made her furious.

Jane raised her hand to slap Cole.

But Cole was faster.

He grabbed the hand and exerted force with his palm, making Jane feel pain.

Following that, Cole sneered. “What’s wrong? Are you angry from embarrassment?”

“Let go.”

Jane gritted her teeth and struggled, trying to pull her hand away.

Cole released his hand.

This caught Jane off guard. Because of her inertia, she stumbled a few steps back and bumped into the table.

Bang!

A dull thud rang out.

“Okay, okay. Cole, you wait.”

Jane shouted angrily, “You’re dead, you’re dead!” “I’ll wait.”

Cole turned around and expressionlessly left.

This made Jane even more enraged.

Flint and Susan sneered when they saw this.

“You reap what you sow.”

***

Western restaurant!

In a private room…

The sunlight outside the window was still bright, but the white lace curtains blocked it. A pair of black high heels stepped on the room’s soft silk carpet.

Cara Williams was sitting at the dining table with a red tablecloth. She was eating a plate of pasta in a daze. No one knew what she was thinking.

Just then…

Knock, knock, knock!

She heard knocks on the door.

“Miss, I’m back.”

It was Hugh Williams.

The knock brought Cara out of her daze. “Come in.”

Hugh walked into the private room and bowed. “Miss, Mr. Stone asked me to give this to you.”

He placed the lunchbox on the luxurious dining table, which made it look out of place.

“Okay.”

Looking at the lunchbox, Cara smiled. After putting down the lunchbox, Hugh said, “Miss, do you need me to protect Mr. Stone?”

“Why?”

Cara was stunned.

“Chris Hayes has started to investigate Mr. Stone’s existence. If he finds out about the matter, I’m afraid it will be bad for Mr. Stone.”

Hugh continued, “Moreover, Mr. Stone is wearing the ring Master wore when he was alive. It’s likely that Mr. Stone will get recognized, although the chances of that happening are slim.”

Cara frowned.

After thinking for a while, she shook her head. “There’s no need for that for now. Based on my understanding of the Hayes, they probably won’t waste their energy to deal with Cole. If you protect him, you’ll expose Cole’s identity.

“When the time comes, it might put Cole in more danger.”

Cara advised Hugh.

She sighed in her heart. If Cole was willing to appear openly, it would allow her to protect him better.

But in this situation, she was in a dilemma.

“Okay.”

Hugh nodded.

However, Cara hesitated for a moment, then said, “You should follow Cole and observe him in secret. If there’s no danger, don’t attack.”

She was still a little worried that someone would harm Cole, but she did not want him to be exposed.

“Okay.”

Hugh nodded. “Then I’ll leave Miss’s protection to Kamila.”

“Okay.”

Cara nodded as well.

Suddenly, Hugh showed hesitation.

Cara noticed Hugh’s abnormality. “What’s wrong, Uncle Hugh?”

“It’s just this.”

Hugh bitterly smiled. “I don’t know if my gut feeling is wrong.”

“Go ahead,” Cara said.

“Mr. Stone, he…”

After leaving Phoenix River Restaurant, Cole returned to his place.

He lay on the bed.

Cole looked at the ceiling and emptied his mind.

This time, Jane’s matter had little impact on him.

He knew very well that he could not compete with either the Lewis or the Yeagers.

However, after being hit at the intersection last time, Cole had changed.

Even if he had nothing, even if he could not defeat them, he would still bite off a piece of their flesh.

Of course!

Actually, he could borrow the power of the Williams, but he did not want to.

The thought of the Williams made Cole recall Cara’s indifferent gaze…
