Forced to Marry a Female Billionaire CEO

Chapter 84: His Relationship With Cara Williams Is Exposed!

Quinn’s fall caused a commotion.

The pedestrians on the roadside were immediately attracted.

Quinn looked up and stared at him fiercely. “Why are you doing this to me?”

But what she did not expect was…

Cole shook his head and pretended to be flustered. “What’s wrong? Is your illness acting up again? Someone, come quickly.”

Quinn widened her eyes.

What’s wrong with him?

However, many enthusiastic pedestrians immediately surrounded her. “What’s wrong?”

“Please help her up!”

Cole looked flustered. “Something happened to my friend. I’ll go pack her things and get her hospitalized. Help me call an ambulance. Thank you!”

Quinn’s expression changed drastically. “Don’t listen to him.”

Seeing this, the pedestrians started to make calls.

Cole turned around and slipped away.

As he left, he mouthed to Quinn, “Good luck!”

Quinn gritted her teeth. She wanted to chase after him, but she had to stop the passersby from making calls first.

In the end, she could only watch as Cole ran away.

Cole had just seen the flash of the camera in a hidden corner by the roadside.

He could not help but laugh.

He could roughly tell what Quinn was going to do.

She wanted to frame him.

Quinn had done a perfect job. She first used Jane as the lead, then used Tom White as a shield. She even said those words through gritted teeth, trying to gain Cole’s sympathy.

In the end, she blurted out that she wanted to curry favor with him.

It was to dispel his guard.

If he had hugged or had any ambiguous contact with her, the scene by the roadside would probably be recorded.

At night, Cara Williams would have seen the photo.

He did not know if it was the Yeagers or the Hayes behind this.

To prevent him from cultivating, they even thought of such a stupid move.

Could it be that they expect Cara to fly into a rage at me after seeing this photo?

Cole thought for a moment.

Cara might really get angry.

Therefore, he had not even helped Quinn up.

He just didn’t know if Quinn would be able to escape in the end.

***

By the time Cole returned from buying dinner, the crowd downstairs had already dispersed.

It seemed like Quinn had successfully escaped.

However, Cole saw another acquaintance.

Hugh Williams!

He was standing beside the car.

“Uncle Hugh!”

Cole greeted him.

“Mr. Stone, I knew you were out.”

Hugh said, “No one answered the door when I knocked just now.”

“Oh right, I went out to buy dinner.”

Cole said, “What’s the matter, Uncle Hugh?”

Hugh smiled. “Miss asked me to bring these things over.”

Things?

What things?

Cole was stunned.

Then, Hugh turned around and opened the trunk. He handed a large box over to Cole. “Miss instructed me to bring this over.”

“This is…”

Cole was surprised.

The box was not closed. Cole could see what was inside at a glance.

A medicinal fragrance filled the air.

They were all high-quality herbs.

“Miss has been looking for herbs all day. She said that you will need them.

“And this inner armor…”

Hugh took out a piece of scale armor. Silver light flickered on the armor. It was obvious that the armor was expensive.

“Well…”

Cole’s expression changed.

Seeing Cole’s expression, Hugh added, “Miss said that you can’t reject this. Please accept it.”

Hearing this, Cole helplessly replied, “Alright.”

“Then I’ll leave first.”

Hugh said with a smile.

“Alright, Uncle Hugh, thank you for your hard work.”

“Not at all.”

Hugh drove away.

Cole carried the inner armor and herbs upstairs.

After returning to his room, Cole poured these things out.

He looked at each herb quietly.

“How thoughtful…”

Cole could not help but mutter.

The box had many herbs.

Without exception, they were all nourishing herbs.

Cara knew that Cole could not use strong older medicinal herbs, so she had simply eliminated all those options.

As for this inner armor, Cole could not help but be shocked after sizing it up.

This was a high-quality fish scale inner armor.

The reason the armor was called fish scale inner armor was not that this inner armor was made of fish scales, but that the material used to make this inner armor was extremely similar to fish scales.

This inner armor could resist at least 30% of the opponent’s true energy attacks.

Regardless of the energy’s grade.

This was considered a masterpiece in the martial arts world.

Ordinary inner armor was invulnerable and could not defend against true energy and firearms.

However, not only was this fish scale inner armor able to shield him from knives and spears, but it was also unafraid of true energy attacks.

Simone Owens’s greatest advantage was that her true energy was far greater than Cole’s.

However, with this inner armor, Simone Owens’s advantage would be reduced by 30%.

Cole looked at the inner armor and was silent for a long time.

“I will definitely win.”

***

The next day, at night.

The medicinal bath today was easier to bear than it had been the previous day.

This was because not only did Cole’s tolerance increase after the torture two days ago, but with Cara’s herbs, the gentleness of the medicinal bath increased again.

After the medicinal bath, Cole sat by the window and quietly regulated his breathing.

But he was not cultivating.

He was just adjusting his mentality.

Tomorrow afternoon, he would be at the underground arena of the Sky Sea Martial Alliance.

He would fight Simone Owens.

Cole knew very well that there was peace in every major event.

Under such circumstances, it was useless for him to cultivate.

Maintaining a calm mentality was more beneficial to his combat strength.

Moreover, there was another reason.

His cultivation had reached the ceiling.

During today’s medicinal bath, Cole originally thought that he could rely on his three days of the medicinal bath to break through to the fourth grade of the Postnatal realm.

But…

When he reached the fourth-grade Postnatal realm, he realized that his cultivation could not be changed.

It was as if a bottle of water had been stoppered.

But this was not a bottleneck.

Instead, he was locked down!

Only then did he realize something and his heart sank.

This was probably the effect of the Medical Oath.

Although he had removed the Medical Oath, there were still residual effects.

Under such circumstances, if he did not find the subsequent dragon’s energy to help him, he would not be able to increase his cultivation at all. He could only be stuck at the fourth grade of the Postnatal realm for the rest of his life.

As he thought of this, Cole’s heart stirred.

This was bad news.

However, he quickly suppressed it with his mental strength.

At this moment…

His phone suddenly rang.

Cole was stunned. It was an unknown number.

He answered. “Hello?”

A voice came from the other end. “Hello, I’m a reporter from Sky News. Are you Mr. Cole Stone?”

A reporter?

What’s going on?

“What can I do for you?”

Cole asked.

“Well, we’d like to ask Mr. Cole a question…

“How does it feel to be Cara Williams’s fiancé?”

Cole’s pupils constricted.

“Mr. Stone, how do you feel?

“May I ask if you feel inferior because you are going to marry Cara Williams? Do you feel like you’re living off her?”

Cole did not reply.

The reporter asked again, “Sir, did I offend you?

“Sir?!”

Beep!

Cole hung up and unlocked his phone. His pupils constricted.

The news app on his phone exploded.

His relationship with Cara Williams had been exposed!
