"I wasted three years of your youth. The extra money ispensation. It''s not much, but it''s my gesture of goodwill."
Gemma withdrew her hand, her face still expressionless.
Nash gave Gemma a meaningful look.
This woman... did not seem as unbearable as he had imagined.
Ryan muttered absentmindedly, "Take the money back. It''s not easy for college graduates to find jobs nowadays. You''re a girl, so having some money on hand means you won''t have to force yourself to stick to a job in the future!" "Ryan, you don''t need to worry about Gemma... She''s..."
"Rena!"
Gemma furrowed her brows slightly.
Reyrena pursed her lips and fell silent.
Nash raised his ss, took a sip, and smiled lightly. "Actually, she''s the daughter of a wealthy family. Due to conflicts with the family, she moved to another city to live a down-and-out life.
"After she graduates from university, she''s supposed to return to her family for an arranged marriage, which is why she has to break up with you now."
As soon as he said this, Reyrena and Gemma looked at Nash with shock.
"You... Did you investigate me?" Gemma questioned with squinted eyes.
What this man said matched her situation exactly. It was hard not to be suspicious.
"It''s such a cliché plot, and I guessed it right?" Nash chuckled dryly. "Ryan is my childhood friend. His character is beyond reproach. If you still care for him, I can make it possible for you to be together!"
Reyrena covered her mouth and giggled. "Mister, seeing that you can afford to spend your money here, that indicates you do have some money. I guess your worth should be in the tens of millions, maybe even hundreds of millions... But that doesn''t mean anything. You don''t understand the true power of a real elite family!
"The Yoners of Horton City is a century-old family, with a worth of over 200 billion! They could crush someone like you as easy as crushing an ant!"
Reyrena stared at Nash with twinkling eyes. She was stifling a smile. This man was so handsome. She would give up on asking her friends to introduce her to the sons of those elite families.
This handsome guy was more suitable for her.
"Moreover..."
Reyrena suppressed her smile and looked at Ryan, continuing, "Do you know who Gemma''s engagement partner is?"
Ryan shook his head. Reyrena''s
words had left him stunned. Horton City was the capital of the
Northwest. Any random family there was more formidable than the wealthiest in Bint City.
A poor boy falling for a rich girl... Such a melodramatic plot actually happened to him. "He''s from the Fisher family of Horton City!" Reyrena uttered those words calmly. Suddenly, a thunderp sounded outside, as if to confirm the might of the Fisher family.
Ryan''s face turned pale in an instant. After three years in Bint City, how could he not have heard of the Fisher family? The wealthiest family in Bint City was a coteral branch of the Fisher family. The king of the underworld of Bint City was also a force supported by the Fisher family.
It was not just Bint City. Out of the 12 cities in the Northwest, 80% of the industries belonged to the Fisher family.
Francel Fisher, the Northwest King, wielded unparalleled power.
"Miss, here are your vanittes!"
The waiter ced two cups of coffee in front of them.
"Thank you!"
Reyrena smiled in gratitude, then stirred her coffee with a spoon. She stared at Nash with her beautiful eyes and said yfully, "Nash, do you still think you can help your friend?"
Suddenly, Ryan spoke up and said with great determination, "Rena, you don''t need to say anything else. I''ll break up with Gemma and disappear from Bint City forever!" Nash scoffed. "Do you have zero confidence in me, Pup?"
"Get lost, punk. I''m three years older than you. You should be the pup!"
Ryan''s smile returned to his face, but it looked incredibly bitter.
Nash''s profound gaze turned to Gemma. "Let me ask you, do you really like Ryan?"Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.
Gemma shook her head decisively. "No, I don''t. I''ve never liked him. I was just temporarily down and out and needed someone to support me, that''s all!"
