Chapter 137
Jason uncrossed his legs and sneered, “Serve me while kneeling. I’m paying 3,000 dollars a minute. Isn’t that generous?”
Serving on her knees, naked, felt like Celine’s dignity was being ground into the dirt.
If it had been in the past, Celine would probably have called Jason shameless and fought back.
But now, she couldn’t resist.
At present, money was of greater importance to Celine than her life, not to mention her dignity.
Celine kept her head down, not daring to look at Jason’s face, and nor did she dare hope he would show her any mercy because of their past.
She knelt on the ground, her hands resting on Jason’s thigh.
Jason’s leg muscles tensed. In that instant, his eyes were filled with fury and disgust
He thought, ‘Incredible! I never expected Celine, who was once so proud, to endure such humiliation for the sake of money
After a long time, Jason picked up a pile of cash from the table and threw it at Celine, his cold and piercing gaze remaining fixed on her all the time.
He said in a cold tone, “You used to look down on me because I was poor. Well… Look at you now. You disgust me.”
Each disdainful word was like a sharp blade stabbing straight into Celine’s heart.
Back in the day, Celine and Jason were the couple everyone envied on campus. Every morning, Jason bought Celine breakfast, and when she complained about sore feet, he carried her a few miles to see a doctor.
Jason used to hold Celine and say they would be together forever.
However, everything had changed.
The old Jason who loved Celine died that winter she broke up with him.
It was
Celine who ended the beautiful old days.
The money hit Celine’s face, which hurt so much.
However, Celine didn’t care. She quickly knelt down and began picking up the scattered bills from the carpet, feeling a twisted sense of joy.
There was at least 70,000 dollars.
Celine’s hands trembled with excitement. Finally, she had enough to pay for her mom’s medical expenses.
Her humble appearance as she knelt to pick up the money only deepened the hatred in Jason’s eyes. He couldn’t believe that Celine was willing to trample her dignity for money.
Thinking back on everything he had sacrificed made him feel utterly sick.
Jason clenched his teeth, his jemple muscles bulging from the stain.
Unable to bear it any longer, Jason grasped Celine’s arm, hoisting her up from the ground. In a somber tone, he declared, “If your love for money is that strong. I’ll give you what you want!”

Jason’s strength was overwhelming, and he was practically dragging Celine along as they went indoors.

Panic quickly spread in Celine’s heart. She struggled to break free from Jason’s grip and shouted, “What are you doing? No
Celine’s resistance was as futile as an ant trying to shake a tree.
The next moment, she was thrown hard onto the bed.
Celine had barely started to get up when Jason’s strong body pinned her down.
He tightly gripped Celine’s jaw and said with sarcasm, “Celine, now you’re just a slut to me. Do you think you can say no? If you’re going to be my lover, act like one.”
At that moment, Celine felt as if she were nailed to the spot, her body tense.
Now she was just Jason’s lover.
Such things were exactly what was expected of her
Even though Celine had mentally prepared herself for what was about to come before entering this room, she still felt distressed from Jason’s humiliation.
As Jason’s clothes hit the floor and he moved over her, Celine felt something inside her chest break
Her tears slid down into her hair.
Some things had changed permanently.
Three hours later, Celine felt as if a truck had run over her, her body stiff and sore. She turned her head to look at Jason already asleep beside her.
Jackson no longer had the innocence of youth on his face. Now he was handsome and confident.
He could actually win a woman’s heart more easily now than he could when he was younger.
However, he was no longer the Jason who once vowed to protect Celine forever.
Celine lowered her eyes, hiding the pain within, and thought to herself, I’m sorry. If given another chance to make a choice I would still choose to let him go.”
It wasn’t because she looked down on Jason.
Celine opened her eyes again, and they reflected a tranquil calm.
She gently got up, covered Jason with the blanket, and tiptoed towards the living room.
As soon as Celine exited the room, Jason’s eyes, which had been closed, snapped open, brimming with an indecipherable significance.
Celine picked up the clothes scattered on the floor one by one, enduring her physical discomfort, and kneeling to gather all the money she hadn’t managed to collect before.
She counted it.
Then she smiled, but it tugged at the sore spot on her lip, making her wince. Despite the pain, she didn’t seem to mind.
Celine finally collected enough money.
Celine took the money and headed straight for the hospital.

The following day, in the parking lot beneath the Stout Group’s office building, Jayden, clad in a navy blue suit, sat calmly in the van, his gaze steadfastly on the entrance of the Stout Group.
Jayden’s fingers tapped randomly on the armrest as he waited for Isabella to show up.
After saving Isabella last time, he thought they had gotten closer, but Isabella still acted distant, as if he didn’t matter to her.
Jason’s last show had wrapped up, and the script for a new one hadn’t been picked yet.
If Isabella didn’t assist him in selecting the appropriate show promptly, he could be facing an extended hiatus,
For Jayden, whose career was booming, that was a complete disaster.
Jayden checked the time. It was 9:30 am., squarely within the workday hours.
He couldn’t wait any longer.
Jayden called Ivana right away.
At this time, Ivana was in a meeting, and her eyes lit up when she saw Jayden calling.
She didn’t expect Jayden to reach out to her first.
Hearing the ringtone, others in the conference room looked over at Ivana. She stood up and gave an apologetic nod, saying,
Sorry, I need to take this call–it’s for work.”
Ivana didn’t wait for anyone to speak and headed straight out of the conference room with her phone..
She came to the hallway outside the conference room.
Then Ivana quickly answered the call, happily saying, “Jayden, why did you call me this early? Were you missing me?
Ivana’s heart leaped with joy. She wondered, ‘Is it about the trending topic? Maybe Jayden was worried I would be jealous, so he called to explain”
Thinking so, Ivana smiled more happily.
However, the next moment, Jayden said in a calm voice, “Can you set up a meeting with Isabella? I need to see her.
Suddenly, Ivana’s smile froze on her face.
She thought she misheard and asked uncertainly, “Jayden, what did you say?”
Jayden’s expression turned serious as he spoke with a sense of urgency. Set up a meeting with Isabella. I need to meet her in twenty minutes in the private room at the cafe located in the building below your
office.
For the past few days, Isabella hadn’t been replying to Jayden’s messages. He went to the entrance of the Stout Group early this morning, but he couldn’t catch Isabella.
Jayden had already lost his patience.
He needed to meet Isabella today to promptly finalize the selection for the next show.
Ivana suddenly had a sinking feeling, and the happiness she felt yanished instantly.
She thought, So now Jayden wants to see Isabella, and he doesn’t intend to hide his feelings from me at all!

Isn’t he worried that what he’s doing might upset me?
Ivana clenched her fist tightly, trying her best to suppress her sadness.
She told herself in her heart, ‘No, Jayden still cares about me!
Then Ivana said with grievances, Jayden, don’t you miss me?”
Jayden interrupted her directly, “Ivana. I have something urgent to talk to her. Hurry up.”
Jayden’s voice softened as he tried to comfort Ivana.
Now, only Ivana could reach Isabella, and Jayden must meet Isabella.
Ivana gritted her teeth so hard, forcing out a word in response. “Okay,”
Ivana simply couldn’t refuse Jayden, especially when he spoke so gently and coaxingly.
Ivana’s eyes brimmed with malice as she silently cursed, ‘Isabella you flirtatious slut, you’ve actually got Jayden coming to the company just to see your
