Chapter 200 Get Back Together with Me
"Hurry up, take the money, and get lost! I never want to see you again!" James spat out each word, glaring at the woman.
Everyone in the restaurant was stunned. No one expected this ordinary-looking guy to throw around cash like that. James had withdrawn the money for emergencies, not expecting to use it on her.
"How dare you hit me?" the woman shouted, her big eyes filled with anger.
"You wanted money, right? I gave it to you. Now leave me alone!" James replied coldly.
"You'll regret this!" she yelled, bending down to pick up the cash.
James couldn't help but smirk at the scene unfolding before him. It was clear that sometimes, money could solve a lot of problems.
After the woman ceased her fussing, James strode into the Michelin restaurant.
Meanwhile, the woman quickly picked up the scattered cash from the floor and pulled out her phone.
"Honey, some jerk bullied me. Come teach him a lesson," she said sweetly into the phone.
"Don't worry, baby. I'm on my way! I'll make him regret ever messing with you," a man's voice replied.
"I'm at the Michelin restaurant. Hurry!" she said, blowing kisses before hanging up. She glared at the entrance, muttering, "You jerk, you'll pay for this."
James, meanwhile, was immediately struck by the opulent décor. Crystal chandeliers cast a soft, elegant glow, making the whole place feel serene and sophisticated. Classical music filled the air, adding to the restaurant's refined atmosphere.
Everything from the décor to the ambiance screamed luxury, and the patrons here were dressed to match—elegant and stylish. In stark contrast, James felt out of place.
As he walked in, every head turned, and he was met with disdainful glances. It was as if they were all wondering why someone like him would step foot in such a high-end establishment.
James scanned the room and spotted Jennifer in a corner.
She was dressed provocatively, with heavy makeup, a low-cut tank top, and very short denim shorts.
Despite her looks, James felt nothing but disgust.
Jennifer saw him and waved, calling softly, "James, you're here."
James gave her a cold look and sat down across from her.
"I didn't know what you liked, so I just ordered a few things," Jennifer said, smiling.
James glanced at the table. Even though he'd never eaten here, he could tell that Jennifer had ordered a selection of high-priced items.. Many were already half-eaten, showing Jennifer had been using him for free meals.
James didn't care about the cost, so he cut to the chase. "What do you want? Why are you spreading those photos around school?"
"James, you know why," Jennifer said, looking at him affectionately.
"I don't," James replied, shaking his head.
"I'm doing this to win you back," Jennifer said, her voice rising.
"Win me back? Are you nuts? You spread our nude photos to win me back?" James shouted.
"Yes, I'm crazy! But I'll do anything to be with you, even if it means giving up my body!" Jennifer yelled shamelessly.
James felt sick hearing her. "Don't you find that disgusting? You just want my money, and I know it!" he shouted, exasperated.
"I don't care what you think. The photos are out there. Everyone knows we've slept together, so you can't be with anyone else. If you don't stay with me, I'll tell everyone I had an abortion for you and that you forced me to go to the hospital. Imagine the scandal—you'd be branded as a horrible guy, and your reputation would be ruined for good."
"You had an abortion for me?" James was stunned. "When did you have an abortion for me?"
"I didn't, but I can fake the evidence. Let's see who they believe," Jennifer replied with a cold smile.
"Are you insane?" James shouted, frustrated.
"Yes, I am. To be with you, I'll do anything!" Jennifer nodded, smiling. "James, you've got one choice right now: get back with me and marry me, or I'll keep spreading our dirty laundry around school. You can leave Lumina City, but I'll follow you wherever you go. I'm obsessed with you, James—if I can't have you, I'll make sure I ruin you!"
James looked at her, feeling helpless. He knew she had lost her mind.
"Jennifer, stop now, or you'll regret it for the rest of your life," James threatened in a low voice.
"Are you going to kill me?" Jennifer laughed disdainfully.
James couldn't help but feel a wave of embarrassment wash over him at Jennifer's response.
He was baffled by her sudden, dramatic shift—it was as if she had transformed into a completely different person.
He thought, 'Is someone pulling the strings behind the scenes, manipulating her?
'Otherwise, with her typical cluelessness, there is no way she could have come up with such a twisted plan on her own!'
