Gregory and Brianna, who failed to get the money back, blamed each other.
After the $50,000 was used up, Gregory had no money left.
Brianna wasn’t about to use her last bit of savings, about $100,000, to support Gregory. She urged him to find a job, otherwise she would kick
him out too.
Later, I kindly” called a headhunter and asked him to arrange a job for Gregory.
Some time later, I invited Xixi to have dinner with me.
On the way to the restaurant, I was humming a tune.
Xixi asked me why
y I was so happy.
I said it was because we were a
were about to see an interesting show.
Sitting in a private room on the second floor of an open–kitchen restaurant, Xixi saw through the transparent glass that Gregory, who used to never lift a finger, was now wearing a chef’s uniform and cooking in the restaurant downstairs,
She raised an eyebrow at me: “Is this it?”
“Of course not, keep watching,” I smiled, asking her to be patient.
A moment later, we saw Brianna enter the restaurant with a handsome, well–built man.
The two were chatting and laughing, looking very intimate.

Gregory naturally saw this too, and his expression Instantly froze:
“Brianna? What… what are you doing here?”
Brianna didn’t even look at him, continuing to flirt with the man.
Gregory raised his voice: “Brianna! I’m talking to you!”
Brianna finally looked up impatiently, glancing at him sideways.
“What am I doing? Eating, of course! Are you blind?”
Gregory pointed at the man: “You… you and him…
Brianna suddenly laughed, her laughter shrill.
“What about me and Kevin? Is it any of your business?”
Gregory’s face turned the color of pig liver.
“He… he is…
“He’s my boyfriend! Got a problem with that?” Brianna said defiantly.
Gregory staggered back a few steps.
“Boyfriend? You… you actually…
“I actually what?” Brianna looked at him challengingly,
“Let me tell you, Gregory Johnson, I’ve been with Kevin for over twenty years! The money you gave me all these years, I’ve been using it to
support him!”
She paused, then added:
“Oh, and George is Kevin and my son!”
The blood drained from Gregory’s face, as if his soul had been sucked out.
He stared at Brianna, his eyes full of disbelief and despair.
Kevin laughed contemptuously from the side.
Gregory felt his world completely collapse.
The woman he loved deeply had betrayed him.
His son wasn’t even his.
Over twenty years of devotion, all for a joke.
Then, he went back to his work station, grabbed a knife, and rushed back,
lunging at Brianna and stabbing her frantically, roaring hysterically.
“You whore! You ruined me! You ruined everything!”
Brianna let out a piercing scream, her clothes instantly soaked with blood.
