Chapter 783

“Why are you yelling? It’s still true. Leon, I’m telling you, we’re over. Stop shamelessly harassing me.”

“You crazy woman. You think you can just break up whenever you feel like it?”

“Well, you’re seeing it happen now.”

They were going at each other so fiercely over the phone that Lucas’s mouth twitched from where he stood nearby,

Seriously.

He suddenly felt that his own girlfriend Warner was pretty easygoing.

She might be cold to him sometimes, but at least she did not fight with him like this.

Jennifer was practically a wildcat right now.

What did Leon even see in this?

While Jennifer argued with Leon, Lucas silently kept calling her a firecracker in his head.

Jennifer finally hung up on Leon.

Then she turned to glare at Lucas, looking even less pleased with him.

The look made Lucas flinch.

“D-Don’t look at me like that.”

“Are you leaving or not?”

Her voice was icy, with a clear warning beneath it.

“I can’t leave.”

Honestly, Lucas wanted to.

He had realized Jennifer was nothing like Stella.

Stella could usually be reasoned with.

But Jennifer, especially when she was angry, felt like she had blades all around her.

You never knew when she might lash out.

Being around someone like that was terrifying.

But then he remembered Leon’s request.

“Calm down. We can talk once Leon gets here.”

“You’re not leaving?”

“I can’t. If I leave, Leon’s baby might not make it.”

That was the truth.

Jennifer had gone to the hospital so decisively today without telling Leon.

If Lucas had not run into her, she might have gone through with everything tomorrow and Leon would not even have known.

“Are you not worried about spending the night here with me?” Jennifer asked. “What if something happens to you?”

“You’re not going to murder me, are you?”

Jennifer said nothing.

Honestly, she did feel like strangling someone right now.

Now that Leon knew about the pregnancy, there would definitely be even more trouble ahead.

“Fine. Leave, then. I can’t do anything about it today anyway. Why are you still here?”

Lucas immediately caught the important part.

“Not today means tomorrow?”

Jennifer was so irritated that she did not even want to answer him.

She only shot him another cold look.

“I’ll stay until Leon gets here,” Lucas said.

“Do I look like I need someone to stay with me?”

Lucas paused.

Honestly?

No, she did not.

Most women facing something like this would look devastated and lost.

Jennifer, on the other hand, looked ready to take on the world.

Lucas sat down on the sofa nearby.

Jennifer stared at him.

“You…”

“You and Leon were fine before. How did things suddenly get this bad? What could possibly be serious enough that even a tough girl like you can’t handle it?”

Jennifer’s eyes narrowed.

“What did you call me?”

A tough girl?

Was that something you said directly to a woman?

Jennifer had already disliked Lucas.

Now, after that comment, she liked him even less.

“D-Don’t get mad. I’m just telling the truth. I…”

2/3

“Stop talking.”

The nerve of him.

If he kept going, she might actually tear his mouth apart.

Lucas had no idea what he had said wrong.

In the end, he could only ask helplessly, “What exactly happened between you two?”

Jennifer had no intention of

And honestly, he was curious.

He had warned Leon before that getting past the Redson family would not be easy.

But he had not expected things between Leon and Jennifer to blow up this fast.

So Lucas really wanted to know what had happened.

“His mother told me to leave him.”

“Oh. That’s normal. But that can’t be the only reason things escalated this quickly, right?”

Telling a girlfriend to leave was the usual move for women like Leon’s mother.

The moment they decided their son’s girlfriend was not the kind of person the family wanted, they stepped in to deal with it.

“When you started dating Leon, didn’t you know you’d have to face this eventually?”

The gap between their backgrounds was obvious.

Jennifer should have known this would happen from the start.

“She offered me one hundred dollars to leave Leon. Was I supposed to just swallow that?”

“One million? That’s not worth getting upset over. They’re used to using money to solve problems.”

“One hundred dollars.”

Lucas went quiet.

His brain seemed to stall.

He looked at Jennifer, the corner of his mouth twitching.

Wait.

“One hundred dollars?”

Lucas honestly wondered whether he had heard wrong.

What kind of number was that?

Did Leon’s mother think her own son was only worth a hundred dollars?

Was she humiliating Jennifer?

Or was she saying Leon was worthless?

Jennifer nodded sharply.

“Yes. One hundred dollars.”

So he had heard right.

The moment Lucas accepted the number, he went silent.

1/3

“Ha…”

He could not hold it in.

Lucas laughed out loud.

Jennifer had already been furious.

Now hearing him laugh, her face darkened even more.

She was upset, and Lucas was standing there laughing?

Jennifer stared at him without saying a word.

The look should have made Lucas nervous.

Instead, it only made him want to laugh harder.

“I can’t. Mrs. Redson is unbelievable. One hundred dollars? She thinks her son is worth one hundred dollars?”

Jennifer said nothing.

What had started as something infuriating was suddenly becoming absurd.

After hearing Lucas put it that way, even the corner of Jennifer’s mouth twitched.

Right.

What looked like humiliation toward her had somehow turned into Leon being worth one hundred dollars.

Was Leon really only worth that much to his own family?

That was ridiculously cheap,

“I honestly don’t understand why she gave you a hundred dollars,” Lucas said, still laughing. “Did she think that was enough to humiliate you?”

“Wasn’t it?”

Anyone in Jennifer’s position would have felt insulted.

But now…

“She was humiliating her own son more than anyone,” Lucas said, laughing again.

One hundred dollars.

In the Redson family’s eyes, Leon was worth a hundred dollars.

Was he even really their son?

Lucas could not stop laughing.

Jennifer had been furious at first.

2/3

But hearing Lucas say Mrs. Redson had humiliated Leon instead, she felt a little better.

And honestly, it did make a strange kind of sense.

“Oh. Why didn’t I think of that?”

Who cared if Mrs. Redson had tried to insult her?

It was her own son who was apparently worth one hundred dollars.

Jennifer suddenly understood why Stella had liked Lucas so much.

His sense of humor was unusual.

Something everyone else would find painful might somehow become a joke in his hands.
