His Childhood Sweetheart Poured Glue on Me and Pushed Me into the Pool: I Never Show Mercy to Traitors Chapter 07

Desperate and out of options, Dane scrambled around like a rat in a trap, begging for help.

Everyone who used to call him “brother” now avoided him like the plague the second they heard Rowan Knight’s name.

“Dane, man, it’s not that I don’t wanna help. The Knight family? Nobody can afford to cross them.”

“You’re on your own, buddy.”

One by one, they hung up.

Steele Group’s stock plummeted to its limit.

In less than half a day, Dane went from a billionaire CEO to a broke man buried in debt.

Loan sharks started blowing up his phone.

Dane’s eyes were bloodshot, hair disheveled like a lunatic.

Then he remembered-there was still a safe in the villa.

Inside were jewels and cash worth tens of millions.

If he could get that money, he could flee abroad and start over.

He floored the gas pedal and raced back to the villa.

He shoved open the master bedroom door-and froze.

Chloe was on her knees, shoving fistfuls of gold bars into a Chanel bag like a fucking raccoon.

Next to her sat a fake passport, ready to go.

“Chloe, what are you DOING?!”

Dane’s voice shook. He couldn’t believe his eyes.

Chloe jumped, dropping a gold bar.

When she saw it was Dane, the panic in her eyes vanished. Her face twisted into something cold and cruel.

“What am I doing? Taking what’s MINE.”

“Your company’s bankrupt. Debt collectors are hunting you. If I don’t run, am I supposed to go down with you?”

Dane felt like he’d been struck by lightning. He stared at this woman he’d spoiled rotten.

“I loved you. I gave up IRIS for you. And now you’re stealing my last lifeline?!”

Chloe laughed bitterly, standing up and brushing off her hair.

“Love? Dane, don’t make me laugh.”

“I’m twenty-two. Why the hell would I waste my youth on a broke loser?”

“You think I’d play your little girlfriend if you didn’t have money?”

“You kicked Iris to the curb after eight years. How do I know you won’t do the same to me?”

Her words stabbed into Dane’s chest like knives.

He finally saw her for what she really was.

The so-called innocence, the sweetness-it was all an act for money.

And Iris-the one who truly loved HIM-he’d shoved her into hell with his own hands.

“PUT IT DOWN!”

Dane lunged at her, trying to grab the bag.

“GET OFF ME, YOU LOSER!”

They wrestled on the bedroom floor.

Chloe clawed at Dane’s face, her nails leaving bloody streaks.

Dane lost it completely. He grabbed her hair and slapped her repeatedly.

“You BITCH! Give me back my money!”

Chloe’s face swelled up, and she collapsed to the ground.

While Dane bent down to grab the gold bars, she snatched the lamp from the nightstand and smashed it into the back of his skull.

Dane’s vision went black. He collapsed.

Chloe stepped over his body, grabbed the bag stuffed with valuables, and bolted without looking back.
