Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Jane Smith’s shouts were loud enough to attract everyone’s attention.

Pregnant!

Abuse

Cheating!

These words immediately popped up in the minds of everyone in the area at once.

When the passersby saw Jane Smith’s red and swollen face, they immediately gave Cole Stone a label in their hearts…

A scumbag!

Jane Smith wore a pitiful look on her face.

But inside she was extremely pleased with her performance.

When they were still dating, Cole Stone was always afraid that she would kick a fuss in public.

Jane Smith was clear that as long as she properly took advantage of this weakness of his, she would be able to squeeze out as much benefits as she could from Cole Stone.

At this moment, Cole Stone stood still.

His expression changed unpredictably.

But this was not because he was afraid that Jane Smith would kick up a fuss in public.

Instead, it was because Cole Stone heard Jane Smith saying the word, “b*tch”.

When Cole Stone heard what she said, he immediately thought of Cara Williams.

Could it be that…?

Could it be that Jane Smith knew about Cara Williams and him?

Cole Stone’s first reaction was not to defend himself but to defend Cara Williams.

It was because he knew.

He knew that if Jane Smith discovered his relationship with Cara Williams. She would undoubtedly expose them. By then, Cara Williams would surely be in trouble.

The Queen of the Williams was engaged to an unemployed vagrant!

A headline like this could easily snowball into dozens, or maybe even hundreds of negative topics about Cara Williams.

But as fast as this thought came into his mind, Cole Stone realized something.

Jane Smith could not possibly know so much about the two of them.

This was because he had only come into direct contact with Cara Williams once, and the entire journey there, he had been in Uncle Hugh’s car.

Even if they had contact in the gym before, based on the scope of information that Jane Smith could possibly get, she couldn’t possibly reach such a conclusion.

Thus, the “b*tch” definitely had nothing to do with Cara Williams.

Realizing this, Cole Stone relaxed.

As for other false accusations, Cole Stone did not take them to heart.

In the past, he was afraid that Jane Smith would cause trouble in public, but that was because he did not want their private matters to be exposed. No one wanted to willingly air out their dirty laundry in public after all.

But today was different…

First of all, Jane Smith had nothing to do with him anymore.

And most importantly, Cole Stone was not the same man as he was before.

He could ignore the gazes of others and Jane Smith’s outrageous slander.

Hence, Cole Stone immediately left.

Seeing that Cole Stone continued to walk away, Jane Smith’s eyes slightly widened.

What? Why is he walking away?

Since when did Cole Stone not care about these things?

“Stop right there!”

Jane Smith cried out, her voice becoming increasingly mournful as she hurriedly chased after him.

Cole Stone directly ignored her.

But all of a sudden…

A man stopped Cole Stone in his tracks. “Are you even a man?”

Cole Stone frowned. “What’s this got to do with you?”

“Talk to your wife, you scumbag.”

The man gritted his teeth in indignation.

Cole Stone looked around.

The others also looked at him with unanimous anger.

It was as if Cole Stone had dragged their faces into mud.

Cole Stone took on a mocking look.

Whenever he was bullied on the streets, no one stood up for him.

Now that Jane Smith had made a few false accusations against him, people were so gung-ho to uphold justice for her.

“Okay, since you guys want me to clear things up with her, I’ll do it then.”

Cole Stone turned and stared expressionlessly at Jane Smith.

Seeing Cole Stone’s expression, Jane Smith was stunned.

Following that, she looked even more miserable. “Can—can we be together once more?”

Her voice sounded weak.

She was like a weak wife who did not dare to speak loudly to her husband.

The scene further bolstered everyone’s anger against Cole Stone.

Cole Stone laughed. “Just what exactly do you want, Jane Smith?”

“I…”

Stunned, Jane Smith hurriedly shook her head. “I don’t want anything. I just want you back.”

Tears filled her eyes.

True love.

The women in the crowd were immediately touched!

“Not bad…”

Cole Stone laughed once again. “Your acting skills have improved yet again.”

Jane Smith’s expression froze and she lowered her head to sob.

“Why are you being so cruel to me? What did I do wrong?”

The crowd was about to erupt. They were absolutely incensed by what they were looking at.

“Scumbag, are you even human?”

“Your wife is working so hard to keep you, how can you say that she’s merely acting?”

“What a jerk!”

Some people were already recording the entire process on their phones.

Cole Stone waved his hand. “I’ll tell you what. You said you were pregnant. Where’s the evidence?”

“This is the evidence.”

Jane Smith took out a medical report and assumed a rather miserable look.

“I’ve already been pregnant for a month. You already know that.”

Cole Stone took the report and his eyes hardened.

The report showed that she was one month into her pregnancy.

This meant that James Lewis got together with Jane Smith a month ago.

And when Cole Stone thought of what had happened a month ago, he clenched his fists.

This b*tch!

Seeing Cole Stone flipping through the report silently…

The crowd seemed to think that his actions were his silent acquiesce.

Thus, everyone despised him even more.

He truly seemed to be someone who often dined and dashed!

“This is your evidence?”

Cole Stone looked at Jane Smith and mocked. “I’m afraid it’s not enough. Do you really think that you can use a medical report to accuse a random joe of being the father to your child?”

“Doesn’t that mean that any man on this street could have potentially fathered your child?”

His words were as sharp as knives.

Jane Smith’s expression changed.

This was the first time that Cole Stone said something like this to her.

His words were simply too vicious.

The crowd could not stand it anymore and they clamored. “What are you talking about?”

“Just apologize to your wife!”

“I’ve got you on tape. If you won’t apologize, you’ll be famous today.”

Cole Stone suddenly raised the medical report and shouted. “Just a report is enough to make you believe her words? Are your heads empty or what? This is not a paternity test!”

“Are all of you trying to say that any man around here can be her husband if she said so because she is holding a medical report to prove that she is pregnant?”
