Forced to Marry a Female Billionaire CEO Chapter 25 – Cole Stone's Backer

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Zayne Stone was silent.

In the end, he slowly sighed. “I apologize. I'm sorry.”

Cole Stone's roar of defiance from earlier was still ringing in his ears.

Cole Stone was slightly stunned.

He was not used to seeing his father in this manner.

“You're saying this to me now?”

Cole Stone smiled and changed the subject. “It's not like this is the first time you've let me down. If you want to apologize, you should have done it when you cut my internet connection a few years ago.”

“Rascal, what are you saying? How is that the same? I did it for your own good—”

Zayne Stone was furious.

Cole Stone quibbled. “—I needed the internet to study.”

“Bullsh*t.”

Zayne Stone's eyes widened in anger.

“Okay!”

Fia Stone came out to smooth things over. “Can't you father and son have a good chat?”

“Listen to what this kid is talking about!”

Xu Zhenguo was furious.

He put down his airs, and apologized earnestly, yet Cole Stone still treated everything as a joke.

“Both of you are in the wrong. Don't talk anymore.” Fia Stone chided.

Zayne Stone slapped his thigh.

“What's wrong with me cutting the internet connection back then?!”

Seeing that Zayne Stone remained steadfast in his stance, Cole Stone changed the topic. “Are you two hungry? We should go out and eat. The stoves here still have no gas.”

“Okay, let's go out. Mom is hungry too!” Fia Stone replied.

Only Zayne Stone was neglected and realizing this only exacerbated his anger.

As Cole Stone and the others left the new house.

The Smiths…

“It's all your fault. What kind of rotten idea is this?”

Susan Collins pushed everything off the coffee table in a frenzy.

Flint Smith glared at Jane Smith and Quinn Young, “It's all your f*cking fault!”

His back was still aching from what happened earlier.

Jane Smith and Quinn Young did not say anything.

Their expressions were ugly.

“Let's go!”

“Mom will help you apply medicine. Cole Stone, that scumbag is such a jerk. To think that he would be so violent. I wonder what kind of ghost possessed me that I decided to marry off my daughter to him. What an ungrateful man!”

Susan Collins held onto Flint Smith's back as her heart ached.

“Don't touch me, it hurts.”

Flint Smith angrily rebuked.

He shook off Susan Collins and walked into the room.

Susan Collins hurriedly followed.

Before she left, Susan Collins did not forget to glare at Jane Smith.

Jane Smith averted her eyes, not daring to meet Susan Collins' gaze.

Both mother and son left.

Jane Smith turned her head and complained to Quinn Young, “It's all your fault!”

“We've failed early in the morning already, but you still urged me to start another trouble at night!”

“Did you really think Cole Stone will just stand there and accept defeat the second time around?”

Quinn Young was shocked. “What are you talking about, Jane Smith?”

Jane Smith glared at her. “Weren't you the one who pushed me to do these?”

“You—”

Quinn Young laughed out of anger. “Fine, you have a point!”

“I won't argue with you anymore.”

She started to pity Cole Stone. To think that he had an ex like Jane Smith.

Seeing the look on Quinn Young's face, Jane Smith knew that she had gone too far.

She quickly held Quinn Young's hand and explained. “Just look at the wounds on my face! Who suffered worse than me? I lost so much dignity tonight!”

The two palm prints on her face were still red and obvious.

Quinn Young gritted her teeth. “We should've won that!”

“I've made sure that he would have no evidence to refute our claims…”

“We should've definitely won.”

“But I didn't expect him to have such a powerful backer…”

“He even managed to take out footage from the surveillance cameras of the hotel and the Golden K Bar.”

Jane Smith was stunned. “He didn't take those footages on his own?”

Quinn Young scorned. “Of course not! Do you really think that he's that influential?”

“The Golden K is where the rich second-generation heirs gather. He doesn't even know where the main door of that bar is, let alone contact the owner of the bar for the footage from the surveillance cameras.”

“I should have expected it!”

“For him to have a million dollars in his bank account means that there must be someone behind him! I should have waited until I was more certain of our success before making a move. Damn it!”

“However, I truly do not understand. Just who exactly is protecting him?”

Quinn Young was puzzled.

If Cole Stone's backer was stronger than the Lewis, it would mean that she was slapped in the face for nothing.

Jane Smith also thought of this point and was upset. “Then I can't call the police?”

“Call the police?”

Quinn Young was stunned. “You still want to mess with him even after what I've said?”

“Can't we?”

“He beat us all up. He should at least be detained for what he did, am I right?”

Jane Smith's eyes became filled with pride as a smirk appeared on her lips.

“What do you think?'

But Quinn Young mocked her. “Jane Smith, stop dreaming!”

“Let's say that your plan worked, what are you going to do if his backer retaliated against us for him? Can you even withstand the anger of his backer?”

Jane Smith's expression froze.

Obviously, she wouldn't be able to withstand the fury of such an influential person.

Jane Smith gnashed her teeth.

She was unwilling to give up so easily.

But in the end, she could only sigh dejectedly.

She really did not dare to touch Cole Stone anymore.

“You have to think about it!”

Quinn Young added. “Which friend of Cole Stone is that influential and rich?”

“I'm sure he told you about that backer of his when you two were still together.”

Hearing Quinn Young's words, Jane Smith felt humiliated.

Even now, her body was still aching.

The broom that struck her really did a lot of damage.

This was the first time that she received such a beatdown with a broom, yet she wasn't even able to take revenge against her aggressor.

All because she did not know the identity of Cole Stone's backer.

“Okay, let me think…”

Jane Smith hastily recalled the people Cole Stone had once interacted with.

She also wanted to know who was behind this pauper.

She wanted to know the identity of his backer!

All of a sudden…

A name flashed across Jane Smith's mind.

But she rejected it immediately.

However, the name became akin to that of a curse that she could not remove from her mind.

Only that person could be so rich and influential, right?!

Thinking back to what happened in the past two days…

Jane Smith's eyes widened.

Her expression changed drastically and her hands started to tremble ever so slightly…

Wasn't this too much of a coincidence?!

“Forget it, I'll go back first.”

Seeing that Jane Smith did not say anything for a long time, Quinn Young became impatient.

She stood up and was about to leave.

Quinn Young finally understood.

She finally understood that Jane Smith was utterly useless.

If she kept being so passive, then she might as well wait for a lightning bolt that would kill Cole Stone.

“Quinn Young.”

But before she could leave, Jane Smith called out to her in a daze.

Quinn Young frowned. “What's wrong?”

Jane Smith looked at her and said with some difficulty.

“Is it possible that Cole Stone's backer is…”

“Cara Williams?”
