CHAPTER 118: CHAPTER 118: I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!

Renee Winslow never told anyone from her hometown about being with Jack Yates, neither friends nor family.

If Jack hadn’t taken the initiative to tell her family about their relationship, her family would still be unaware.

Actually, there was another reason for her anger today: Jack told her family about their relationship without her consent.

She couldn’t believe Jack wasn’t aware of her family situation. Knowing this, why did he tell them?

Was he trying to firmly control her greedy, impoverished family?

Other than this intention, she couldn’t figure out why Jack did it.

From her understanding of her family, her grandpa might be bad at speaking and not spread rumors, but her grandma and stepmother, Whitney Lowell, would definitely brag about buying a house all over.

Grandma might say nice things, claiming she found a very wealthy boyfriend in Northcity who generously bought a big house for them in Vintara, all to show off in front of relatives.

As for stepmother Whitney Lowell, she wouldn’t utter a good word about her, possibly smearing her reputation behind her back, saying she’s a mistress or found a wealthy old man, all while devouring her blood money and humiliating her.

Thinking of that scene, Renee Winslow felt so angry her chest hurt.

Originally, she was usually mild-tempered and only became furious today, yelling like a madwoman in front of Jack.

In contrast, Jack didn’t take it seriously, even considering her unreasonable.

Renee Winslow couldn’t tell if she felt more sad or angry; she simply felt cold inside.

The reason she had the driver stop a hundred meters away from the barbecue restaurant earlier was that she didn’t want Sanga to see her getting out of a luxury car and learn she was with a powerful man.

Even though her relationship with Jack was just that of a typical couple, with Jack having no other women but her, she still didn’t want anyone to know about their relationship.

If she were dating just an ordinary college student, she would’ve definitely introduced him to her best friend tonight.

But Jack wasn’t. Jack never treated her like a true boyfriend would.

Jack never respected her, nor understood her; he only controlled her.

So, Renee Winslow never considered introducing him to her friends, perhaps Jack also didn’t care to meet her friends.

Facing Sanga’s questioning, Renee Winslow couldn’t hide anymore and had to admit, "It was my boyfriend who paid for it."

Sanga wasn’t surprised, smiled slightly, and said, "I heard from my mom that you found a very wealthy boyfriend. I didn’t believe it at first, since you never told me. Considering our relationship, if you really had a boyfriend, it’s impossible you wouldn’t tell me."

Seeing Sanga’s betrayed expression, Renee Winslow felt deeply uncomfortable, but she couldn’t explain.

"I’m sorry," she lowered her head and apologized.

Aside from the powerless, pale apology, there were no other words.

It’s not that she didn’t want to share with her best friend; she just couldn’t bring herself to speak.

She wished she could introduce her boyfriend to her best friend, let him treat everyone to dinner, happily dine and chat while the boyfriend lovingly and tenderly accompanies her.

But she was merely a canary kept by a high-status man, not truly the girlfriend he cherishes.

Sanga held her hand: "It’s okay. Renee, even if one day our friendship fades and we’re no longer best friends, I hope you live well. Your family isn’t worth yearning for, give it up, don’t let your broken family drag you down."

Even though Renee Winslow didn’t say anything, Sanga saw through it and advised her to leave.

Renee Winslow pressed her lips tightly, tears welling up in her eyes, but she resisted letting them fall.

This was what she wished to get from Jack but could never receive.

Jack not only disregarded her feelings, knowing her family’s greed, but purposely used it to hold them and control her.

So, how could she possibly have feelings for such a man?

Sanga patted the back of her hand: "I heard last year your grandpa was hospitalized, and this year your grandma too. Here’s a harsh truth, your grandpa, your grandma, and your useless dad, they cling to you like evil spirits, dragging you into the abyss."

Renee Winslow finally couldn’t hold back, bowed her head and large tears poured onto her lap.

She raised her hand to wipe her tears with her hand’s back but the more she wiped, the more tears flowed.

Sanga quickly handed her some tissues: "Don’t cry, tears are useless. You’ve already left Vintara, don’t ever return. Change your phone number and sever all ties with them. Without weaknesses, you’re invincible."

Renee Winslow became emotional, crying uncontrollably, leaning down onto the table.

Indeed, without weaknesses, one can be invincible.

If not for treating her grandpa’s illness last year, she wouldn’t have agreed to Jack, nor would she be trapped.

What Renee Winslow didn’t know was that when she lowered her head crying, the two bodyguards had stopped eating, and one even messaged Jack.

[Boss, Miss Winslow is crying.]

After a few seconds, the bodyguard sent another message.

[She’s crying very hard.]

Jack quickly replied.

[Reason.]

The bodyguard summarized Renee Winslow’s interaction with Sanga from entering the restaurant and wrote an essay to send Jack, emphasizing Sanga’s words of advice.

After Renee Winslow left, Jack went into the study to handle some matters since he’d be flying to Maekong in the morning, needing to resolve those at night.

Just finishing his work, he came out of the study heading to the bathroom when Benjamin’s message arrived.

Reading the lengthy text on his phone, Jack’s sharp eyes narrowed.

At that moment, Jack’s only thought was that this lousy friend can’t let Renee Winslow meet again, fearing they’d lead her astray.

Reading the message, Jack’s face darkened as he called Renee Winslow.

Renee Winslow was crying sorrowfully when her phone suddenly rang.

She hurriedly raised her head, roughly wiped her face and picked up the phone, seeing Jack calling, she instantly forgot to cry, instinctively looked beside her.

The two bodyguards had "finished eating" and went out but didn’t go far, standing outside the barbecue restaurant’s entrance.

Renee Winslow really wanted to hang up on Jack but feared he’d come over in anger, forcing her to answer.

"Hello." She answered and walked outside, "What’s up?"

Jack asked impatiently: "Why are you crying again? Weren’t you meeting your best friend?"

Renee Winslow sniffled, her voice thick with nasal tone: "Nothing, just talking about sad things."

Obviously not believing her, Jack sneered coldly: "Renee Winslow, that lousy friend of yours, don’t contact them anymore."

Renee Winslow felt her anger spike instantly, loudly asking: "Jack, what do you mean?"

Jack chuckled: "What I said, don’t meet that so-called friend again."

Renee Winslow: "Jack, I want to leave the most is you, never want to see you again!"

Jack’s voice suddenly turned cold: "Renee Winslow, say that shit again!"
