My Cat Said I Was Cheated On Chapter 06

“Then you’ll need to contact the buyer.” 

I replied. 

“But your phone number is the only one we have 

on file.” 

The jewelry store associate sounded hesitant. 

“Easy.” 

“I’ll give you their numbers.” 

I smiled and gave her Adrian’s and Chloe’s phone. 

numbers. 

An hour later, Adrian called. 

“Did you give Chloe’s number to the jewelry store?” 

His voice was furious. 

“Yeah.” 

I admitted it. 

“What the hell are you trying to pull?” 

Adrian sounded even angrier. 

“You said you’d pay for it!” 

“When did I ever say that?” 

I asked. 

“You told me to go check it out at the mall!” 

“Yeah.” 

“But I never said I’d pay.” 

Adrian went silent. 

For a full minute, he couldn’t come up with a 

response. 

Then he finally snapped, 

“You’re doing this just to make things hard for 

Chloe!” 

“Me?” 

“I’d never dare.” 

My smile widened. 

“She’s your favorite, after all.” 

Adrian froze for a second, then immediately 

denied it. 

“What are you talking about?” 

“I care about her as a friend.” 

“That’s it!” 

“I don’t want a cruel woman like you as my 

girlfriend!” 

“I’d never build a family with someone like you!” 

“You need to take a hard look at yourself.” 

“Call me when you’ve thought it through!” 

Then he hung up. 

The next morning at work, the Marketing Manager 

came to see me. 

“Serena.” 

“Chloe didn’t come in today.” 

“A lot of her work is backed up.” 

“I called her.” 

“She said she won’t come back unless you beg 

her.” 

I didn’t hesitate. 

“Take over Chloe’s work yourself.” 

“As for her absence, follow company policy.” 

“If she has three consecutive no–call, no–show days, terminate her for job abandonment.” 

The manager nodded and left to handle it. 

For the next three days, Chloe stayed silent. 

So did Adrian. 

Neither of them sent me a single message. 

They were waiting for me to cave. 

I was buried in Brightwell Consumer Group’s 

marketing work. 

On the fourth day, Chloe finally showed up at 

Brightwell Consumer Group. 

Only to find out she’d been fired. 

She was stunned. 

She immediately demanded to see me. 

Then Adrian finally texted me again. 

Of course, it was still about Chloe. 

[How could you fire Chloe?!] 

[You’ve gone way too far!] 

I replied: 

[Company policy says three consecutive no–call, 

no–show days count as job abandonment.] 

Adrian didn’t respond. 

Not until that evening, when he suddenly called. 

“Serena, that designer handbag I gave you won, 

didn’t it?” 

“It won the full $450,000 jackpot, didn’t it?!” 

“Yeah…” 

I hadn’t even finished speaking when Adrian burst 

out excitedly. 

“Chloe and I are coming over right now!” 

“We’ll split it!” 

He hung up immediately. 

Twenty minutes later, I was having dinner with 

Mom and Dad when Adrian and Chloe came 

rushing in. 

“Seriously, Serena?” 

Chloe’s voice dripped with sarcasm. 

“You won all that money and didn’t even tell us?” 

“If we hadn’t gone by the mall, we wouldn’t even 

know!” 

I ignored her and kept eating. 

Mom and Dad ignored them too. 

Adrian got straight to the point. 

“We’ll split the prize three ways.” 

“You’re good at your job.” 

“It’s not like you need the money.” 

“You can take a smaller share.” 

“Keep $45,000.” 

“I’ll take $132,000.” 

“Chloe gets the rest.” 

How thoughtful of him. 

For Chloe, of course. 

I actually laughed. 

“Why?” 

Adrian clearly hadn’t expected a pushover like me 

to actually say no. 

He stared at me for a moment before answering. 

“I gave you the handbag.” 

“I deserve part of the prize.” 

“Really?” 

I gave a cold laugh. 

“Because I seem to remember buying it from you.” 

I pulled up our old messages as proof. 

The day Adrian gave me the designer handbag, he 

complained that night that it had cost him $3,000. 

He said he was broke and couldn’t even afford 

food for the rest of the month. 

I’d felt bad for him and sent him $3,500. 

I told him to consider the handbag something I’d 

bought for myself. 

He made a show of refusing the money several times before finally accepting it.
