Just then…

The doctor walked out of the room and looked at Eugene Neal.

“If there’s any problem, please take it outside. Don’t cause trouble here.”

Then, he said to Cole Stone. “Settle your personal matters first. Then, you can come here and have your injuries treated.”

Hearing this, Cole Stone’s expression changed.

But the doctor stepped right past the two men and called out to the patient waiting behind him.

“Next.”

The electronic call coldly echoed. “Number 57, Mike White.”

The doctor turned and walked into the room.

Eugene Neal sneered.

“You don’t need to see the doctor now, do you? Hurry up and return my money to me.”

Cole Stone took a deep breath. “Let’s take this outside.”

“Okay.”

Eugene Neal raised his eyebrows and readily agreed.

He turned and walked toward the safe passage.

When Eugene Neal turned around, his eyes flashed with an undetectable evil smile.

If someone wanted to collect debts, there was no way that they would collect them in a hospital.

He was actually sent here by James Lewis.

He was purposely making things difficult for Cole Stone.

His mission was to stop Cole Stone from seeing a doctor.

…

In the silent safety passage.

The atmosphere was heavy.

“Pay me back.”

Eugene Neal crossed his arms.

Cole Stone looked at Eugene Neal. “Gene, could it be that I can’t even make you wait for a while even though I helped you get to know Director Zhou?”

“I only want to see my money.”

Eugene Neal pressed on.

Although the mission was to interfere with Cole Stone’s treatment, Eugene Neal did not mind taking the opportunity to get his money back. Since their relationship had already soured, it was better for him to get his money back as soon as possible.

Cole Stone gritted his teeth.

“Gene, I don’t have any money on me right now, but I will definitely return it to you as soon as I can. I promise you.”

“Hahaha, how would I know that you won’t run away with my money?”

Eugene Neal sneered. “How can I guarantee that you won’t do that?”

“I still have another house.”

Cole Stone clenched his teeth.

Eugene Neal snickered. “Jane Smith’s?”

Silence.

Cole Stone’s brain exploded.

His mind kept replaying the scene of despair and helplessness at the door of his house early in the morning as well as Jane Smith and James Lewis’ arrogant display in the afternoon…

Eugene Neal’s words became the fuse that ignited Cole Stone’s fury once more.

“Who the f*ck said that the house was hers?”

He suddenly flew into a rage and roared at Eugene Neal.

“Eugene Neal, that house is mine! It’s mine! Don’t you f*cking know that?!”

Cole Stone’s roar echoed throughout the empty stairwell.

Cole Stone’s sudden rage stunned Eugene Neal.

Seeing Cole Stone’s bloodshot eyes and the twitching veins on his forehead, Eugene Neal was terrified.

Even though he looked big and strong, it wasn’t muscles, but fat.

If Cole Stone punched him in a fit of rage, he would not be able to withstand it.

He only dared to whisper. “So what if it’s yours? Just give me back my money—”

“I have no money!”

“I f*cking told you I have no money! Do you not understand?! Do you not understand? Huh?!”

Cole Stone slammed his fist against the wall.

Eugene Neal looked at the dent on the wall and his expression changed.

He stammered through his words. “You, you, you! Stay calm… Just remember to pay it back in the future…”

“Go away!”

Eugene Neal rolled and crawled.

He immediately ran down the stairs in the opposite direction.

He stumbled and fell.

“Ah!”

He cried in pain, but Eugene Neal still did not dare to turn around.

As he left in a sorry state, he kept muttering to himself. “Acting big even though you owe money. Hmph! Count me unlucky.”

“F*ck.”

Cole Stone looked at Eugene Neal’s disappearing back.

A pained look was on his face.

Human relationships could sometimes be ruthless and cold.

This was the reality.

If one didn’t have money, they were nothing.

At that moment…

His phone rang.

It came from his Mom.

Cole Stone’s eyes widened. Why would Mom call me at this hour?

He quickly composed himself and picked up the phone. “Mom, what’s wrong?”

Cole Stone’s voice was hoarse.

It was because he shouted so loud just now.

“What took you so long to answer the phone? Mom was so worried about you!”

“What happened to your voice?”

Cole Stone’s mom said worriedly.

Cole Stone made a hasty excuse. “I was training a student today, so I was busy. Also, I went out with my boss yesterday and I’m feeling feverish. That must be why.”

“Okay, just remember to drink more tea. You also must not work too much, okay?”

Mom reminded.

“I know! By the way, Mom, why did you call me?”

“No, I just wanted to tell you that Jane is a girl from a big city and a girl like her is more delicate and particular than the girls in the countryside. You must take care of her and be patient, okay? Don’t lose your temper at the slightest inconvenience. If you don’t have money to treat her right, you can just get it from Mom.”

Hearing this, Cole Stone felt a sense of foreboding.

His expression changed. “What did Jane Smith say to you?”

“She told me about your recent lack of money to pay off your mortgage. She said you got a little upset and snapped at her. She felt wronged and stressed, but Mom transferred a few hundred dollars to her. Don’t worry about it anymore.”

Cole Stone’s nails dug into his palms.

He found it hard to breathe…

Damn it!

Jane Smith actually called his mother.

Cole Stone scratched her head and immediately decided to come clean.

“Mom, stop transferring money to her. I’ve already broken up with her.”

He knew better than to keep it a secret.

If he hid it from his parents and continued to be afraid that his mother would find it hard to accept the reality, he would only be troubling his family.

But when Cole Stone’s mother heard his words, she immediately scolded him.

“Don’t say something like that. You’re about to get married! Why are you saying such unlucky things? Both of you must get along with each other.”

“Be a good boy and apologize to her. She’ll forgive you.”

“Alright, I’m hanging up! I have to go.”

“Talk to you later…”

For fear that Cole Stone would say something else, Cole Stone’s mother hung up.

Cole Stone became even more furious.

He opened his contacts and dialed Jane Smith’s number.

He had to get to the bottom of this matter at all costs!
