Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Susan Collins snatched the report away fiercely. “What child? From the moment your son slapped my daughter, the child in her stomach has nothing to do with your family anymore.”
Fia Stone clasped her fist.
Her heart ached.
It was as if she had truly lost her grandchild!
“Slap?”
Zayne Stone’s expression darkened as he turned to look at Jane Smith.
As expected.
He saw Jane Smith’s swollen cheek.
Jane Smith’s friends were furious. “How can Cole Stone be such a bastard?”
“Impossible!”
Fia Stone muttered in disbelief.
Cheating during pregnancy!
Domestic violence against a pregnant woman!
She could not believe that her son had become such a douchebag.
“Impossible? How dare you say it’s impossible?”
Quinn Young stood up.
“Yes, we do not have any evidence to prove that Cole Stone slapped Jane…”
“But this morning, Cole Stone and that b*tch brought people to insult Jane!”
“That alone is irrefutable evidence.”
“If I didn’t remember to take a video at that time, then everyone here would definitely not believe that Cole Stone could be so heartless!”
“Take a look at this!”
Quinn Young turned on the TV and played the video.
Zayne Stone and Fia Stone turned to look.
The image of the streets appeared on the television.
Cole Stone’s parents knew at a glance that their son’s apartment was close to this street.
The scene was a little blurry, but they could identify both Cole Stone and Jane Smith.
Although the video quality was bad, the audio was very clear and everyone could hear the words clearly.
The video started playing.
“What do you want?” Cole Stone said impatiently.
Fia Stone and Zayne Stone stared with widened eyes.
This was the first time that they saw Cole Stone direct such a hostile gaze at Jane Smith.
“I don’t want anything. I just want you back,” Jane Smith begged. “I’m one month pregnant and you know that.”
“So are you saying that anybody on this street has slept with you before?”
“Give me back the money my mother gave you, and also the other half of the house.”
Cole Stone’s words were sharp and vicious.
Next…
On the screen, Cole Stone coldly turned around and Jane Smith collapsed to the ground…
The crowd’s insults were then directed at Jane Smith.
“B*tch!”
“Wh*re!”
And a voice that was clearly edited in rang out.
“Want to steal my man? Try again in your next life!”
The video ended.
Jane Smith covered her face and cried, completely breaking down.
Her friends were furious. “F*ck!”
Susan Collins glared at Cole Stone’s parents. “What else is there to say?!”
Fia Stone’s face turned pale and her body trembled.
This was enough to prove everything!
Zayne Stone remained silent.
His face was black and he clenched his fists tightly.
This beast!
It’s our family’s misfortune to beget a beast!
“Say something…”
Susan Collins turned aggressive as she pointed at the two elders and scolded them.
“We have nothing to say.”
Zayne Stone fell silent. “It’s all my son’s fault.”
“You think you can settle this with just a few words?”
Susan Collins sneered.
“Then what do you think we should do?”
Fia Stone was in a daze.
Her eyes looked dull and soulless.
She was about to have a grandchild…
An established family and live a peaceful, and beautiful life…
But in the end, Cole Stone’s infidelity ruined everything.
Quinn Young spoke up.
“It’s simple.”
“According to the law, the one who made the mistake in the marriage should be left with nothing.”
“Just give Jane the rest of the house and Cole’s assets.”
“But if you two think that the two of them are not married yet and can’t be considered legally married, we won’t blame you if you don’t want to give us a single cent since it is also the law—”
“Both of you should decide what to do—”
After saying that, Quinn Young looked pleased.
Her words sounded humble, but in reality, she was roasting and gaslighting the two elders at the same time.
After her words fell, everyone looked at the two elders.
Fia Stone’s eyes dimmed.
Zayne Stone was silent for a long time before he slowly said, “Okay, I’ll give you the house. My son has let you down.”
Silence.
Cole Stone’s father seemed to have instantly aged a few decades.
His back became even more crooked.
They spent most of their lives trying to borrow money to pay the down payment for Cole Stone’s future house with his spouse.
But today, they had to give the house away.
Everything felt like a bolt of lightning from out of nowhere for them.
Although they knew the ramifications, the shame of not compensating the aggrieved party was simply too much for them to endure.
Jane Smith lowered her head and covered her face, but her eyes were filled with excitement.
“What about his other assets?”
Quinn Young smiled.
“Assets?”
Fia Stone looked up in a daze. “Didn’t Jane say that Cole has no money left?”
“No money?”
Quinn Young smiled meaningfully. “Looks like Cole Stone has kept the two of you in the dark.”
“What do you mean?”
Zayne Stone suddenly raised his head.
Jane Smith’s eyes were filled with tears. “I also thought that he didn’t have money anymore, but Quinn Young is a bank manager. When she saw him at the bank, he had a whole million dollars in his card.”
“It was precisely because of this one million dollars that I asked him at home for some money as tuition fees that he slapped me!”
Jane Smith ranted. Then she broke down into tears once again.
Zayne Stone’s expression changed drastically. “That bastard!”
Fia Stone’s face turned pale and her breathing hastened.
Seeing this, Zayne Stone hurriedly held his wife. “Hey, hey, hey!”
“Relax! Relax… Breathe slowly.”
Fia Stone became so angry that she found it hard to breathe.
The others coldly looked at them while ignoring their predicament.
Susan Collins took advantage of this opportunity and pressed the attack.
“What about that million dollars?”
Zayne Stone caressed Fia Stone’s back and closed his eyes. “It’s all yours…”
“All yours.”
“No—”
Jane Smith still wanted to act pitiful. “Cole needs to live too.”
Her friends were indignant.
“Why are you still thinking about him?! He clearly doesn’t think of you at all!”
Zayne Stone clenched his fists tightly when he heard that.
Then out of nowhere…
A voice came from outside the door.
“Dad! Mom!”
Cole Stone has arrived!
He carried a bag as he walked inside.
