Chapter 1489
"When will you be home?" Joe clearly wanted to drop the subject of Rosa.
So, Skylar didn't press further either. "About half an hour. Are you home?"
"Yes, just got in. I'll wait for you."
"Okay."
Joe stepped out onto the balcony, opened the window, and lit a cigarette. Then, he called Paul.
"Get to the bottom of everything regarding Rosa. Find a chance to meet her and warn her to stay away from Skylar. If I catch her talking nonsense to Skylar again, I won't let it slide."
"Understood," Paul replied with a shiver.
Why couldn't Rosa see the situation? Anyone smart would have taken the compensation and disappeared to live a carefree life. Yet here she was, foolishly walking straight into trouble.
Did Rosa think everyone was blind to her scheming from three years ago? Frankly, those two slaps he gave her earlier weren't nearly enough.
Meanwhile, Stephen was frantic when he couldn't contact the man who sold him the charm.
To make matters worse, he discovered that Simona had blocked him again. It seemed she was dead set on breaking up with him!
At that moment, the casino called to demand repayment of his debts.
He had gambled again that night, losing the 100,000 dollars he had swindled from Rosa. Not willing to accept defeat, he borrowed a high-interest loan from the casino.
Now the calls demanding

repayment were relentless.
He borrowed 500,000 dollars, which ballooned to 600,000 dollars in no time. He was terrified of these people.
Stephen had tried calling Rosa several times earlier, but she didn't answer.
When she finally picked up, she started ranting about how Skylar and Joe were a shameless couple.
But when he asked to borrow a million dollars, Rosa claimed she had no money left.novelbin
Now, he was running out of options.
After racking his brain, he decided he had no choice but to approach Simona. She was wealthy, so one million would be nothing more than half a month's pocket money to her.
So, Stephen rushed to her university and waited outside her dormitory. At this point, he no longer cared about his pride.
"Simona, I can't lose you! I realized you're the love of my life! Losing you is like losing my very soul," he declared passionately, drawing the attention of many students.
The crowd started to gossip.
Just then, Simona suddenly appeared behind Stephen.
"When did you become so

shameless? Do you think everyone is an idiot? Stop embarrassing yourself here. We broke up ages ago. If you keep causing trouble, I'll have campus security deal with you."

"How can you be so heartless? We loved each other, didn't we? You mean the world to me. Isn't this too cruel?" Stephen raised his voice deliberately, ensuring everyone around could hear. Content belongs
"Simona, I never agreed to break up with you."
He wanted everyone to witness the scene and forced Simona into a vulnerable position where she had no choice but to give in.
