"Landon, stop acting like a big shot. You make a few thousand a month at best, and now you're pretending you can buy a whole building?"
Wendy wrapped her arm around Aron's, pulling him close.
"Let's not waste any more time. Aron and I were meant to be. Yes, I cheated, so what?
"Aron is young, good-looking, and charming. Any woman would fall for him. You're nothing but an old loser. If my family hadn't pressured me to get married, do you think I would have chosen someone like you?
"You barely make any money, and every gift you've ever given me is cheap junk. I'm done with you.
"You're old and broke. Why would I stay with you?"
I let her finish, then smiled, "Wendy, are you sure you won't regret this?"
I knew this day would come from the moment I found out she was cheating on me, but I didn't realize how bad I was in Wendy's eyes.
I know I don't have much emotional intelligence, so everything I gave her was a private high-fashion item from a big-name brand, and my unique heart for her turned out to be a cottage industry in her eyes.
"I'll see you at City Hall tomorrow. Our joint savings, whether you steal or beg for it, better be in my account within a month."
She threw one last glare at me before clinging tightly to Aron, snuggling into his chest.
"What's the fucking point? Get the fuck outta here."
The fat supervisor on the second floor was cursing when Sini happened to come in.
"Did you just speak to Mr. Lake like that? Who gave you the guts?"
Meanwhile, the saleswoman who swiped my card respectfully handed it back.
"Mr. Lake, the total price for the properties is twenty million dollars. The transaction went through successfully."
