Chapter 2
Three years ago, the Shawn Group was on the brink of going bankrupt. Seeing so, Jacob distanced himself from Tina and left her in the ditch.
He broke off the engagement with Tina and blocked all her contact information.
Tina broke down, either physically or mentally.
Overnight, she, a once highly regarded young lady from a rich family, was down to the bottom.
Her friends avoided her. No one dared to lend her money.
When I found her, she was drunk in a bar, with a few bad guys by her side taking advantage of her.
I had secretly fallen for her a long time ago. Both Jacob and I met her in college.
I couldn't be indifferent to her!
I took out all the money I had saved with great effort, gave up starting my business, and helped the Shawn Group make a comeback.
Tina knew nothing. I did everything myself.
I stayed up all night with her to write a proposal. I almost got hit by a car when running errands.
I drank with clients until I had a stomach bleed. I drank all the alcohol on behalf of Tina so that she didn't have to drink.
I always protected her behind me and took care of everything for her.
We went through thick and thin together. We became closer and closer. Finally, Tina agreed to be my girlfriend.
At that time, the Shawn Group got rid of the bankruptcy crisis.
I couldn't help myself anymore. I kicked the door open while they were having a lively and cheerful time.
In an instant, they were all silent inside. Everyone turned their heads to look at me.
Tina sat next to Jacob. They were so close to each other that Tina almost sat on Jacob's lap.
Jacob placed his hand on her leg, rubbing it without a sense of propriety.
I threw the cake in my hands on the ground, staring straight at Tina. She dared not look at me. Besides feeling shocked, she was avoiding me.
She didn't expect me to come back suddenly and catch her off guard! She looked down, realizing that the way she sat with Jacob would make others misunderstand them.
But she didn't stand up and leave. She just sat there.
Her best friend was the first to react, saying, "You are such a jinx. Speak of the devil, here comes the devil."
She joked with a group of people who had just mocked me, trampling my dignity on the ground.
She had always criticized me in front of Tina, trying to sow discord between me and Tina.
I didn't care about that rubbish. I asked Tina, "Didn't you say you don't like others kissing your lips? Don't you hate others touching your nose? Then why can he do it, but I can't?"
Others were babbling. I smashed a wine bottle on the ground. Seeing that I was angry, they stopped talking.
Tina saw me getting angry. She flew into a rage too, saying, "I was drunk and dizzy. That's why I acted like that."
"Are you sure you're drunk? You seem perfectly sober." I didn't want to hear her explanation, so I exposed her.
I embarrassed her in front of everyone. Tina got so angry. Her face turned red.
"Do you want to know the truth? Alright, I'll tell you why."
"Because the person I love has always been him. Every girl likes to give her first love all her beauty. I'm no exception."
Tina shouted without blushing. Jacob smirked triumphantly.
Chapter 3
Hearing her words, I was instantly stunned as if I had been struck by lightning.
"Huh, no wonder she always finds various excuses to refuse my marriage proposals. "
"She has been waiting for Jacob to come back. She never wants to marry me in the first place. "
At that moment, I suddenly realized that Tina never loved me at all.
She was mostly likely to rely on me to manage her company. I laughed at myself and became even more disappointed in her. After all, I had been treating her well wholeheartedly. Perhaps out of guilt, Tina lowered her voice and tried to coax me like she would a puppy, "Alright, stop making a scene. We only kissed. We didn't do anything else to betray you."
"I will apologize to you." She sat up and walked towards me.
For every step she took towards me, I took a step back. I found her dirty.
Jacob had treated her like that, which she didn't mind. It showed how important Jacob was to her.
Tina frowned and stared at me with anger as I avoided her.
Her best friend cursed me too, saying, "George, what do you mean? Take what you can get."
"What qualifications do you, a bootlicker, have to avoid Tina? Be careful that she won't want you."
I clapped my hands and mocked her, saying, "Coincidentally, I have this intention too. I don't want Tina either."
The vibe was once oppressive. I embarrassed Tina and even refuted her best friend.
Jacob pretended to be in a difficult situation, saying, "George, don't blame Tina. It's my fault. I will apologize to you."
Sincerely, Jacob bent over to apologize to me. Seeing this, Tina was sorry for him.
In her heart, Jacob was like a male god. She would never allow him to humble himself.
"Have you had enough of making a scene? A grown-up man with a petty mind. I just kissed Jacob. You were eager to break up with me. Are you sick?"
Tina shouted at me, but I didn't care what she thought of me.
"Tina, do you remember? A year ago, a female client drank too much and hugged me. You saw it. You were so angry that you pushed her away and scolded me for not having a sense of boundaries. You said you were a neat freak, so you don't like your partner being touched by others. Now I'm telling you. I am a neat freak too. You hugged and kissed Jacob. I won't allow my partner to be intimate with others."
"Since you have lingering feelings for each other, I will generously let go and make way for you and him. Goodbye!"
After I finished speaking, I turned around and left, leaving Tina stunned in place.
After a while, she chased after me. I started the car and left.
"George, dare you leave? Don't cry and beg me to come back to you in the future."
"You will regret it."
