Forced to Marry a Female Billionaire CEO - Chapter 29

At the bar.

Jane Smith sat in the corner. She cried as she drank her wine.

“I really didn’t mean it.”

Jane Smith sent a message to Quinn Young.

Unfortunately, she had already been blocked.

Jane Smith was filled with despair and regret.

She regretted breaking up with Cole Stone and venting her anger out on Quinn Young. She felt hopeless and cursed the gods, before cursing Cole Stone in her heart and scolding Quinn Young for breaking their sisterly bond…

All of a sudden…

A man sat beside Jane Smith.

Jane Smith was the school belle after all.

Her fair skin and beautiful figure always was a head-turner.

“Babe, may I humor you with a drink?”

“W-who are you?” Jane Smith slurred in her speech.

“Let me introduce myself. I’m Charles Yeager.”

Jane Smith was stunned.

Yeager?

Why was it so familiar?

Wasn’t the Yeagers—?

—the Williams’s sworn enemy?!

The Lewis’s backer?!

One of the six major families!

Before Jane Smith could even think, a hand slowly squirmed up her thigh…

…

After Cole Stone and his family left the new house, they went to a restaurant.

At this moment, they were eating at the dining table in the restaurant.

“Cole, are you sure you’re doing fine recently?” Fia Stone looked worried.

Cole Stone lowered his head and ate. “I’m fine. Don’t worry about it.”

He sighed in his heart.

Luckily, his hair covered the wound on his forehead. Otherwise, if his mother found out that he had been hit by a car, she would definitely be worried for a long period of time.

Fia Stone hesitated. “But the house loan—”

Cole Stone took out his phone and showed his parents the balance of one million dollars. He smiled and said, “Don’t worry, my boss is a tycoon. He gave me a million dollars just like that.”

“Do you really think that I don’t have the money to pay the loan?”

Finally, Fia Stone put down her worries.

Although she was still skeptical, the three of them started to eat in silence.

The old couple tacitly did not mention Jane Smith, even though they had a million questions in their minds…

On the surface, there did not seem to be any problems with Cole Stone.

Everything seemed to be normal.

But from their point of view, Cole Stone must be feeling terrible…

Cole Stone had always liked to announce the good news and hide the bad news.

He must be trying to endure everything on his own so that the two of them would be at peace.

At this thought, Fia Stone’s heart ached even more.

Her son was slandered on the streets.

He was insulted by Susan Collins’ family.

He had to shoulder so many debts…

Their son was their baby.

Why did he have to suffer so much?

Fia Stone wanted to ask Cole Stone to return to their small, quaint town.

But she knew that her son would never agree to it.

A thousand words were stuck in her throat.

But in the end, a sentence of concern was what she could muster.

“Eat more.”

Fia Stone put the meat into the bowl and added. “Make sure you’re eating well.”

“Got it.”

Cole Stone continued to eat with his head down.

He tried his best to conceal his wound.

Fia Stone took the chance when Cole Stone was not paying attention to wipe the corners of her eyes.

Zayne Stone, who remained silent all this time, suddenly said,

“You can tell me about anything. Dad will support you.”

Cole Stone felt a sour sensation up his nose. “Okay.”

He lowered his head even more…

…

The new house had no furniture and could not accommodate people.

Cole Stone eventually sent his parents to the hotel and booked two adjacent rooms.

He would have to send his parents back to their hometown tomorrow.

Afterwards, Cole Stone entered the other room.

Then he called Cara Williams.

If it was not for the photos and videos that Cara Williams sent him yesterday, he would not be able to explain himself today.

Cole Stone knew that he had to call Cara Williams today no matter what.

‘But is this really the only reason why I am calling her?’

Cole Stone could not help but mutter to himself.

The call went through very quickly.

“What’s up?”

Cara Williams’s voice sounded. “You called a little late today. You’re not being a good fiancé.”

Cole Stone could not help but blush with shame.

He finally knew what the other reason was…

Cole Stone changed the topic. “Miss Williams, I’m fine. I just wanted to thank you.”

Cara Williams’s voice sounded a bit lazy. “Thank me for what?”

“For the photos and videos.”

Cole Stone added. “She came to my house tonight to cause trouble. If it weren’t for your help, I wouldn’t have been able to explain myself today.”

“You’re welcome. I do what I must.”

Cara Williams did not really care.

Silence…

They fell silent once again.

Cole Stone looked out of the window and stared at the busy traffic.

Afterwards, he spoke up. “Miss Williams, are you free tomorrow? I want to treat you to a meal.”

“Tomorrow?”

Cara Williams confirmed her schedule.

“I have a meeting tomorrow. I have a lot to do.”

“Alright then…”

Cole Stone held the phone and sighed.

He did not know why he sighed.

Maybe he was a little disappointed?

Cara Williams was silent.

Thud!

There was a soft sound on the other end of the call.

It was Cara Williams who put down the pen in her hand.

“Do you really want to eat with me that much?”

Her tone sounded normal.

But her voice made Cole Stone’s heart race.

“No, no, no! I’m just—”

Cole Stone stuttered and subconsciously denied.

“Ah, so you don’t want to eat with me the?”

Cara Williams’ tone changed.

Cole Stone’s eyes widened. “No! I just wanted to thank you in person for your help.”

“Really?”

Cara Williams quickly added. “If that’s the case, then forget it. I don’t need your gratitude.”

Cole Stone gasped. “Miss Williams, I—”

He instinctively felt that something was wrong.

But Cara Williams interrupted him. “I’m hanging up. I’m busy.”

After saying that, Cara Williams did not immediately end the call.

She waited for his reply.

The call was silent for a few seconds.

“Okay then.”

Since Cara Williams said it this way, Cole Stone might be slightly disappointed but he did not dare to pester her. “Then Miss Williams, please rest early.”

“I’m going to bed first. I still have to send my parents back to our hometown tomorrow.”

Cara Williams didn’t say anything.

Cole Stone’s heart pounded fiercely against his chest. “Miss Williams?”

Cara Williams said, “Is that so? Go to sleep then.”

Beep! Beep! Beep!

The call ended.

Cole Stone stared blankly at his phone.

He noticed it.

Cara Williams was angry.

But he couldn’t understand why—

—Why was she mad?

…

Williams Corporation.

Cara Williams placed her phone on the table and continued to read the documents on her computer as if nothing happened.

But her slightly clenched teeth betrayed her feelings.

After a while…

She glanced down at the private number in front of her.

The phone remained silent and dormant.

No message arrived.

Cara Williams laughed.

In anger!
