s soon as Maria said that, Sarah burst out laughing.

Ryan felt a wave of embarrassment. ‘Grandma really says whatever’s on her mind,‘ he thought.

‘She doesn’t even care if she pisses Nina off, he added to himself.

Nina didn’t get mad. She’d grown up around nightclubs, so she was used to this kind of thing and never thought it was a big deal.

After all, back in Betrico, she’d often run into seniors unwinding at nightclubs.

After all, people were just people.

Once people got older, there was nothing wrong with kicking back and having some fun.

Maria had rushed over without breakfast, so after eating with Nina and the others, she took Sarah out for the day.

With Maria looking after her, Nina didn’t have to worry about Sarah at all.

After Sarah and Maria headed out, Nina and Ryan suddenly had some free time on their hands.

The autumn sunlight was perfect. With a book in each of their hands, Nina and Ryan sat by the floor–to–ceiling windows, enjoying the tranquility and feeling completely at ease.

In stark contrast to Nina and Ryan’s chill vibe, Claire and Jason’s lives were a total mess.

Out in a rundown neighborhood on the edge of town, Claire’s cursing echoed nonstop.

“Get lost! Don’t touch me, you worthless piece of trash! You can’t even handle something this simple. What the hell am I supposed to do with you?

“Ryan cut you off, so why don’t you just grovel like a dog and beg him to take you back?

“I seriously don’t get it. What are you so proud of? You’re not even worth a single strand of Ryan’s hair, and you still act like you’re too good to bow your head?

“Someone like you actually says you like me? What fucking right do you have to even think you deserve me?”

“If you hadn’t stolen the credit for saving Ryan back then, would he have ever cut you off? You’re just a useless, pathetic loser. Let me tell you, I will never like you in this lifetime…”

Claire was in full rant mode, totally oblivious to the fact that Jason’s face was stormy with rage.

He was radiating a deadly vibe, his eyes bloodshot as he glared daggers at her.

Just as Claire kept running her mouth, Jason suddenly grabbed her by the throat, his voice furious. “You’re just damaged goods who hooked up with lowlifes. What right do you have to talk down to me?

“Did I spoil you too much? You think just because I like you, you can humiliate me however you want? Claire, who the hell do you think you are?”

Claire never in her wildest dreams thought Jason would actually lay a hand on her.

She fought like hell to pry his hand off her throat, cursing, “You worthless loser, you think you can touch me? Let go of me,

right now! Do you hear me? If you don’t, you can forget about ever seeing me again!”

Like I don’t already know what kind of guy Jason is?‘ she thought.

He’s just a simp, that’s all, she sneered inwardly

‘All I have to do is crook my finger and he’d come wagging his tail, no questions asked, she thought with a smirk.

Who knew he’d actually have the guts to put his hands on me today? she fumed.

This time, she was determined to teach him a lesson he wouldn’t forget.

She was going to make sure he knew that if he wanted to be my simp, he’d better remember his place.

Jason’s eyes narrowed dangerously, and instead of loosening his grip, his hold on her throat only grew tighter.

Then, a twisted smirk curled on his lips. He sneered, “A loser? Is that what you think? Alright, Claire. Let’s see if I’m really the loser you say I am.”

As soon as the words left his mouth, Jason flung Claire onto the bed and pressed his body down over hers, pinning her in place.

Claire’s heart raced in panic as she yelled, “Jason, what are you trying to do?!”

‘Didn’t you just call me a loser?” Jason growled, yanking her hair back hard. “Let me prove to you right now whether I’m the loser you think I am!”

As soon as he finished, Jason tore off Claire’s clothes and pinned her down on the bed with force.

Claire was terrified, scrambling to get away. “No, stay away from me! Don’t touch me! Jason, I’m warning you, if you lay a finger on me, I’ll never forgive you, ever!”

Jason clamped his hand around her throat, his face twisted with fury. “Never forgive me, huh? Claire, I’ve loved you for almost twenty years.

Anything you wanted, I busted my ass to get it for you. Why do you think I stole Ryan’s savior spot? Because you said you liked him!

‘Fine, you wanted him, so I helped you get close to him. I pretended to be his savior, became his best buddy, and did everything to clear the path for you.

I got myself thrown out of the Rivers family for you, and how do you repay me? You treat me like a dog? Call me a loser? Sometimes I really wanna rip your heart out just to see if it’s even human!”

Jason’s grip tightened even more, and Claire was nearly choking. “Ryan treats you like garbage, but you keep chasing after him. I treat you like gold, and you just stomp all over me. Why?

“If I’m such a loser in your eyes, then fine. I’ll show you exactly what it’s like to be with one!”

Jason threw Claire down, completely ignoring her frantic resistance, and just went for it, not holding back at all.

An hour later, Jason rolled off the bed and stared at Claire, who was curled up at the foot, hugging herself tight. For a moment, guilt flashed in his eyes.

‘I never meant for this to happen, Jason thought, his heart twisting.

I love her so damn much. All I ever wanted was to give her everything, he told himself

He didn’t care about her past with that waiter, but he just couldn’t take it anymore. She kept calling him a lover, again and again.

He’d just snapped in a fit of rage, and that was why he did what he did.

By the time he snapped out of it, it was already too late to regret anything.
