Chapter 792
Zoey was still lounging on the couch, a faint smirk playing on her lips. “Murray, you’ve got a better education than me. I always thought I wasn’t good enough for you, but now I think you’re not good enough for me, so I want to call off our engagement.”
That “you’re not good enough for me” obviously shocked Murray.
He was a graduate of Solstice College, and Zoey was just a regular school graduate, and she had the audacity to say he wasn’t good enough for her?
His income was nothing to sniff at, either.
Instead of reflecting on his own wrongdoings, Murray scoffed, “Alright, it seems like you’ve found a better option now. That’s why you’re changing your tune, Zoey. I didn’t see this one coming from you.”
Classic move by men, pinning their own mistakes on others.

At this moment, Zoey not only thought this man was not good enough for her, but she also felt she was blind in the past to have chosen to be with him, wasting seven long years of her youth!
“Murray, it’s you who chose someone else, but you’re accusing me of finding a better option. Is this what your college taught you? I feel sorry for your professors. You’ve graduated for so many years, and you’re still harping on about your college. Is Solstice College the crowning glory of your life? My school might be less prestigious, than yours, but make no less money than you. You always use the school to belittle me. The college is your pride, not mine.”
Zoey felt a sense of satisfaction, but also pain.
Turned out she had this speech all planned out; it turned out she had the answer all along.
But because of her love for him, she endured.
“Murray, your thing with Evelyn is already public knowledge and our colleagues have seen it with some even taking photos. I was behind your car last night, but you never noticed. You were too eager to see that woman. I waited outside all night, but you never came out. With all this evidence, can you still deny it? You disgust
me.”
Zoey stared him down and asked, “Now, do you have anything else to say?”
Truth be told, Zoey didn’t tail him last night, but she knew once exposed, Murray would be caught off guard.
Maja was right; men like these dreaded women who stood on their own.
She used to love him, so she could hide all her pride, but now that she’s decided to let go, Murray was just a nobody!
Zoey chuckled and took a deep breath.
“That’s it; we’re done.”
Upon hearing this, Murray’s voice rose.
“Well, in that case, there’s something I need to tell you: The new house we bought cannot be handed over; it might be left unfinished, and the money we’ve invested might go down the drain. But the house is under your name; we’re not married yet, so this has nothing to do with me. Please pay me back the money I invested.” When buying this marital home, each person put in three million dollars.
Now that the house might be left unfinished, Murray didn’t want to incur this loss of three million dollars, so he asked Zoey to pay him back.
Zoey froze, staring at him in disbelief, as if he were a stranger.
After a moment, she asked in a low voice, “You knew this house wouldn’t be completed all along, didn’t you?”
Murray replied unabashedly, “How would I know? I thought we could weather this storm together since the house couldn’t be completed, but Zoey, you’re never good enough for me; it’s good that we’re breaking up now. You must transfer three million dollars to my account within a week.”
Zoey didn’t have that much money in her bank account. She only had a few thousand dollars.
When she made the down payment, that was all her savings.
Murray seemed certain she couldn’t pay him, so his tone softened.
“Just act like you don’t know anything so we can still be like before.”
No sooner had the words left his mouth than his cheek was slapped hard.
Touching his face, he saw Zoey’s resolute look.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
