Chapter 24 - A Heavy Slap in the Face

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Seeing this, his friends did not stop him.

Jane Smith deserved it.

If Jane Smith treated them like this, they would have done even worse than Cole Stone.

Upon seeing Cole Stone’s slap, Flint Smith was immediately infuriated.

“Cole Stone, you bastard!”

Flint Smith roared and charged forward.

If his sister was disfigured, who would earn the money for his marriage?

Cole Stone watched as Flint Smith’s fist rapidly enlarged in his vision.

However, he easily dodged it.

Flint Smith could not control his body and fell past Cole Stone…

Heading straight to the ground!

Flint Smith’s expression drastically changed.

Just then.

Cole Stone grabbed Flint Smith’s back.

“Thank—”

Flint Smith subconsciously wanted to thank him.

But before he could finish, he heard a voice that sounded like it came from hell.

“I did not forget about that leg of yours.”

Flint Smith felt a sense of foreboding.

Cole Stone lifted Flint Smith forcefully…

Then he let go.

Cole Stone raised his leg and stomped down.

Thud!

There was a loud thud.

“Ahhh!”

Flint Smith howled miserably.

Sharp pain inundated his back as his face was buried into the ground.

Flint Smith felt as if he had just eaten shit.

Susan Collins ignored her daughter.

Seeing her beloved son being beaten up, Susan Collins was enraged.

“I won’t let you go with this!”

Susan Collins bared her fangs and brandished her claws as she screamed and pounced forward.

Cole Stone smirked. “I won’t do anything to my elders—”

Susan Collins was delighted and thought that Cole Stone was dumb.

But in the very next moment, Cole Stone sent over a palm.

“—too bad you’re not one!”

Cole Stone shook his head.

Susan Collins was stunned.

Slap!

A slap landed on her face.

Her face immediately turned red and swollen!

Quinn Young pointed at Cole Stone with an ugly look.

“You—you ungrateful man! Even if Jane cheated on you, you can’t do this to her family!”

Everyone could not help but sneer.

“Quinn Young, both you and Jane Smith could actually be this shameless, eh?”

Just then.

Cole Stone turned around and picked up a broom from beside the pillar.

He looked at Quinn Young and asked, “Why do you say so?”

“Have I ever been ungrateful? My memory has always been good.”

“I still remember saying that if you continued to pester me, I’ll use a broom to chase you away.”

Quinn Young panicked. “W-what are you trying to do?”

“Get lost!”

Cole Stone roared and struck Quinn Young with the broom.

“Ah! Cole Stone—you bastard!”

Quinn Young took a few hits and retreated out of the door in agony.

As for Flint Smith and his mother, they were also swept out of the new house.

Then Jane Smith’s turn arrived.

Jane Smith glared at Cole Stone.

“You have no right to chase me away. This is my house! My name is also on the deed!”

She looked pleased.

Even if I cheated on you, what can you do to me?

This house has my name written on its deed!

Susan Collins regained her composure. “Yes! This house is half Jane’s!”

The others and even Cole Stone’s parents started to tremble in anger…

How shameless!

But Cole Stone was amused. “Are you sure that this house is half yours?”

Jane Smith was stunned when she heard Cole Stone’s mocking tone of voice to her.

Cole Stone took out another piece of paper.

He had wasted so much time at his studio apartment because he was looking for this piece of evidence.

“This is the copy of the agreement you forced me to sign. I’ll read it out to you.”

“Block A 403 of Hill Street will be both Cole Stone and Jane Smith’s house for them to live together after marriage. If Cole Stone were to cheat, the whole property rights will belong to Jane Smith.”

Jane Smith sneered in disdain. “That doesn’t prove anything.”

It was used to restrict Cole Stone from cheating.

Not her from cheating!

Did Cole Stone think that such a clause could nullify the fact that she owned half the house?

He was dreaming!

Quinn Young scorned. “A drowning man will do anything to survive.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Susan Collins and Flint Smith planned to walk in once again.

“Really? Do you really think that this doesn’t prove anything?”

Cole Stone added.

“The bank and the contract will prove that I paid for this house in full. The agreement will prove that I gave the house to you because we were going to get married. This is a grant contract with an attached condition.”

“Now that the condition of marriage is no longer valid, I can simply cancel the contract.”

“Simply put, this house has nothing to do with you anymore.”

“Get lost!”

Jane Smith’s face turned pale.

Following that, a broom held by Cole Stone came sweeping over!

Jane Smith wanted to dodge, but she was still struck several times.

She hurriedly retreated as she shouted. “Cole Stone, you will definitely regret this!”

“I will definitely make you pay for this!”

She swore that she would take revenge on Cole Stone

She must let Cole Stone have a taste of the pain she had suffered today!

Cole Stone sneered. “I’ll be waiting then.”

Then the broom struck Jane Smith once again—making her scream in pain.

Seeing that, the crowd all felt relieved.

What a satisfying end to this charade!

The four lying clowns were finally kicked out of the house.

Susan Collins roared. “I curse you to be struck by lightning and dying a horrible death!”

The only response Susan Collins got was an even louder slam of the door.

Bang!

The door slammed heavily in their faces.

The sound was so loud that they felt as if they had gone deaf.

Then afterwards, they looked at each other in dismay.

They were covered in dust from head to toe thanks to the dirty broom that Cole Stone used to sweep them away.

Flint Smith’s back ached and Susan Collins’s face was red and swollen.

And Jane Smith suffered the worst.

There were clear palm prints on both her cheeks!

…

Cole Stone walked into the living room.

There was complete silence and the atmosphere was awkward.

Many of the friends here began to apologize out of guilt.

“My bad, bro…”

“I’m sorry, we were wrong! They fooled us!”

“They really manipulated us into thinking that you were the criminal when you were not!”

Cole Stone saw their apologetic looks and he waved his hand in dismissal. “It’s fine.”

He was unhappy that these people came to stir up trouble without fully understanding the situation. In addition to that, their egging even caused his mother’s illness to flare up.

But in the end, they were still classmates.

And since they were never directly involved in this matter, Cole Stone knew that he could not burn his bridges and be so ruthless against them.

Cole Stone changed the topic. “It’s okay, it’s okay… Let me just explain something.”

“It’s true that I have a million dollars in my account, but it’s not my money. My boss placed that money into my account. As for why? I can’t tell anyone since it involves my boss’s business.”

“The money’s only going to stay in my account temporarily…”

“I’m about to return it to my boss, so I really don’t have a million dollars in my bank.”

“Sorry about that…”

Everyone was finally enlightened.

“I see… Yeah, that makes sense!”

After a round of pleasantries, everyone left…

…

After closing the door and sending everyone off, Cole Stone felt relieved.

Fortunately, he was meticulous with his words.

Jane Smith also did not expect that the agreement to restrict Cole Stone would end up backfiring against her.

If not for that clause then even if Cole Stone proved that he was not the one who cheated in their marriage, he would not be able to nullify the fact that half of the house would be taken away by Jane Smith.

Just then.

“Cole—”

” —Dad wants to apologize to you.”
