Chapter 4
My dad practically shouted that last sentence.
Ethan looked a bit flustered, but he showed no fear whatsoever.
That was typical–whether in my past life or this one, he’d never experienced poverty.

In his mind, running a company was child’s play.
“Mr. Simon Sinclair, I hope you’re a man of your word.”
Ethan lifted his chin slightly, his gaze arrogant and confident.
“If we cross paths in the business world again, I won’t show any
mercy!”
With that, he took Jasmine’s hand and said affectionately,
“Jasmine, from now on, everything I have belongs to you.”
Jasmine was shrewd–otherwise she wouldn’t have targeted only
me instead of directly convincing Ethan to break up with me.
Without our family’s financial backing, the Johnson family
probably wouldn’t last much longer.
But right now, Jasmine couldn’t say anything.
She forced a smile, her carefully maintained face full of otion:31

“Okay!”

Ethan finally got to be with his true love. He then pulled Jasmine away without looking back, completely ignoring Maria, who
looked ashen.
Finally, my mother coldly threw Maria out.
Looking at the hospital room that had finally returned to peace, I
breathed a deep sigh of relief.
In this life, I was determined to protect my parents.
As for Ethan, I hoped he and his true love could live happily ever
after once they lost our family’s support.
Sure enough, everything went exactly as I expected.
That very night, Ethan couldn’t wait to announce their
relationship.
He posted photos of them holding hands on Instagram and
Twitter with the caption: “I only love my Jasmine.”
Before the Johnson family went bankrupt, Ethan had been a
well–known campus heartthrob.
Twitter’s comment section was instantly flooded with
congratulations.

“Wow, a domineering CEO and an innocent girl! I love this couple!
I bet Nicole will go crazy when she sees this on Twitter!”

However, Ethan’s Instagram followers remained unchanged from
usual.
People in high society are all shrewd.
When the Johnson family went bankrupt, those wealthy kids who
still kept in touch with Ethan only did so out of respect for our
family.
Now that Ethan had voluntarily severed ties with our family, it meant the Johnson family had completely fallen from grace. Who would bother with him anymore?
Many wealthy kids even deleted him directly.
Ethan remained completely oblivious to this, still basking in his
so–called happiness.
He even made a point of replying to his fans‘ comments: “On such
a beautiful day, don’t mention that annoying woman Nicole- Jasmine would get jealous.”
His arrogant remarks even made headline news.
I couldn’t be bothered with this idiot and blocked him directly. 3/4

manager of a high–end jewelry store under the Sinclair Group.
“Ms. Sinclair, Mr. Johnson wants to pick up the pink diamond engagement ring you custom–ordered last month.”
The manager’s tone was both awkward and apprehensive.
Before I could respond, a text from an unknown number popped up.
Ethan arrogantly said: “Nicole, give that ring to Jasmine first. Her hands are prettier than yours, so the ring suits her better. Besides, I promised to give it to her.”
I let out a cold laugh and responded to the manager: “That’s my property. What is Ethan thinking? Does he want to use my money to date another woman? What a cheapskate! Tell him to get lost. If he’s broke, he should go dumpster diving. After all, he claims Jasmine doesn’t love him for his money anyway.”
After delivering that sarcastic response, I hung up directly.
Then I took a deep breath, feeling thoroughly satisfied.
