Chapter 9
After saying that, he even thought he was cool and winked at me, which made me feel nauseous.
I quickly shook my hand.
“Sorry, we completely cut ties three years ago. I don’t dare to accept a single penny from yout
anymore. Who knows if It’s from a loan, and then I’ll have to repay it later?ny from you
Noah’s face turned pale and then red, but he still stood up and forcefully grabbed me, shoving a card into my hand.
Lina, I know you a
angry with me, but there is 200,000 dollars in this card. You keep it first, and I will definitely give you the remaining 88,000 dollars!”
His eyes flickered, as if he had concluded that I was concerned about money.
I was speechless for a moment, but I couldn’t find a way to free my hand. Fortunately, our boss intervened in time and called the security guard to remove Noah. Only then was I able to get rid of his entanglement.
During the argument, the card Noah handed me was accidentally flung and landed right in the trash.
bin.
Before I could say anything, I saw a disheveled middle–aged woman suddenly rush over and desperately rummage through the trash bin.
I recognized that person as my ex–mother–in–law. It had been several years since we last saw each
other, and at that moment, her hair had turned gray, making her look twenty years older than my mother, who is the same age as her.
She trembled as she held the card, crying with tears streaming down her face.
“Son, this is the last money your father left for us. Your mother hasn’t been willing to spend it these
years. Now that you can’t find a job, if you give this money away again, how can your mother and I
survive?”
Noah’s face turned completely red, and he glared at me and the boss fiercely before leaving sulkily.
A few days later, Noah started spreading rumors again, saying that I was a gold digger, seducing wealthy people and abandoning my poor husband.
. Just with the lesson from the last time, what he said was considered bullshit by everyone, and no
one believed him at all.
He kept scrolling through his friends‘ posts for several days, and in the late night, he began to reminisce about the wonderful moments we had during our university days, trying to use our past
to touch me again.
Unfortunately, I saw him as a jumping clown, and he didn’t care at all.
As for our boss, our contact had become increasingly close. There had been several times when he looked at me hesitantly, as if he had something to say
Finally, on a day in March, he knelt down on one knee and presented me with 99 roses as he confessed his love to me.

said he hoped I had the courage to love again.
I accepted his flowers and became his girlfriend.
A year later, they held a wedding together.
Fans also congratulated me one after another for finally moving on from the shadow of my previous
relationship.
Shortly after I got married, Noah also started dating a girlfriend.
He seemed to deliberately provoke me, constantly showing off how rich his new girlfriend was on Instagram, subtly comparing me to her.
I deleted his friend and stopped caring about his news.
Until one day later, a friend suddenly mentioned that Noah had been kidnapped.
His new girlfriend was actually a scammer, specializing in pretending to be a wealthy woman to deceive people. Once the fish took the bait, she would lure them abroad.
My former mother–in–law was struck by a stroke and died at home a few days later.
Noah completely disappeared from my world now.
