Chapter 2186: Rupert's Plan Falls Apart
Facing the sharp aura emanating from him, Summer remained calm, as if she had expected it. She had already witnessed his bad temper the day before. At this moment, Rupert was furious, looking like a clown who couldn't control his emotions in front of her. Summer stared at him calmly, as if trying to see through him. Rupert was taken aback by the girl's unusually calm gaze and paused.
"Rupert, I've regained my memory," Summer said calmly from her seat, her emotions surprisingly steady. The man's chest tightened, and his brows furrowed slightly. His heart was filled with disbelief. But as he gradually came to his senses, he vaguely understood one thing: there was no turning back from this engagement. She had resolutely decided to separate from him.
"Rupert, we were never lovers; you know that better than I do," Summer said in a bland tone, not wanting to blame anyone. "This was the biggest lie after my car accident and memory loss. To appease our parents, we maintained this lie until now." Rupert had nothing to say; indeed, he was the originator of the lie.
Feeling defeated, he sat down in a chair, gripping the armrest slightly, with a hint of pain in his eyes. "Rupert, there is no love between us; we never loved each other. Why should we torment each other?" Summer couldn't understand but spoke softly, trying to negotiate with him. "If we end it now, maybe we can still be friends. I will try my best to comfort Mr. and Mrs. Brightwood; our families will remain close."
Summer was kind and only wanted to communicate well to minimize harm. But Rupert was thinking about how to get her demolition compensation and her high income from the entertainment industry if they didn't marry. Without Summer as his lifeline, how could he repay those huge debts? Hiding wasn't a solution; once found, he might lose an arm or a leg.
So now Rupert felt like an ant on a hot pan; he couldn't let this opportunity slip away! He needed to hold onto this woman. "Summer, but I truly love you."
"Let's break up," Summer said again. "I will explain and apologize to our parents and return the engagement gifts." She stood up after speaking. "I deeply regret the impact on you and am willing to compensate for any emotional distress." Then she bowed to him. "Name your price; text me, and I'll transfer it to your account."
Before Rupert could react, Summer turned and left.
So ruthless?!
Rupert came to his senses and wanted to chase after her when his phone rang suddenly, startling him and halting his steps. He picked up the phone nervously. "Hello, brother."
"Rupert, you promised me a final deadline; are you going to repay or not? Damn it! Are you playing me? The other party was furious and shouted angrily. "Do you think just because you ran back home that I can't do anything about it?"
Rupert sat back in his chair and saw Summer getting into her car through the window as it drove away.
"Brother, I'll pay; of course, I'll pay back the money I owe," Rupert lowered his tone submissively. "But I'm a bit short on cash right now; can you give me a couple more days?"
"No way! Look at how long I've already given you!" The other party was fierce. "Not a penny less than three million! Do you have it or not?!" He couldn't come up with it...From NôvelDrama.Org.
"Can I give you one million first? I'lI
give it right away! This is my mom's savings just got my hands on it!" Rupert panicked; the other party had considerable power and could do anything.
"Then transfer it now! I'm waiting!" The call ended abruptly.
