Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Chapter 845: 256: Abusing scum, Xiaxia who is both A and cool! _5
 

Lisa Donovan failed to understand why Brian Fitzell treated Sawyer Thompson as his benefactor.

Confronting his long-time girlfriend whom he deeply loved, Brian Fitzell tried to suppress the anger in his heart, then explained, “I started working from the age of sixteen. Initially, I spent my nights on the streets and later found a dishwashing job in a restaurant. Eventually, I felt that I could apply for a job in the IT industry, but whenever they looked at my academic qualifications, they all shook their heads! Academic qualifications were like a brick to knock on the door for opportunities. Without this brick, who would care about your abilities? If it were not for President Thompson, I would still be a janitor in the support department!”

“Everyone only sees my current self, but who saw the me who was rejected by 24 companies overnight?”

Even Lisa Donovan got to know him only after he became a well-known figure.

People always say that ability overshadows everything.

But in today’s society, who solely focusses on ability?

Lisa Donovan frowned slightly, “But you are indeed talented. If you weren’t talented, would Sawyer Thompson give you company shares? Everything you have today is earned by your abilities, and you do not owe Sawyer Thompson anything! So, you don’t need to feel guilty!”

People should always look forward.

She didn’t understand why Brian Fitzell always felt in debt to Sawyer Thompson.

Brian Fitzell gave Lisa Donovan a look, “Lisa, I’ve said everything I needed to say. President Thompson gave me hope when I needed it the most; I would never abandon him when he is at his lowest point!”

These are the most basic principles of being a human being.

After saying this, Brian Fitzell added, “Even though I’m not necessarily a saint, I could never bring myself to deceive or act contrary to my moral obligations!”

Lisa Donovan looked at Brian Fitzell, “Do you know what it means to live within your means? Brian, I’m already thirty-two years old. A woman’s youth only lasts for a few years, and I can’t afford to waste it any longer! If you are adamant about your decisions, then let’s cancel the wedding!”

The two have already met each other’s parents and set a wedding date.

It was supposed to be on the eighth day of the first lunar month next year.

But Lisa Donovan never expected things to turn out this way.

Brian Fitzell looked at Lisa Donovan, “What did you say?”

Lisa Donovan replied, word by word: “I said, if you don’t withdraw your shares, we should break up and cancel the wedding.”

It’s true that Brian Fitzell is an extremely good man fit for domestic life.

He is handsome, capable and loyal.

Currently, Brian Fitzell’s annual salary is two million dollars, and with bonuses, his yearly income is around ten million dollars.

Because of this, he bought villas for his elder brother and parents in their hometown.

His parents now enjoy their life with his elder brother and sister-in-law, and he gives his parents ten thousand dollars every month for living expenses. After they get married, Brian’s parents won’t come to Capital City, and they only need to go back to their hometown to spend time with the elders during the New Year.

After they get married, they won’t have to deal with conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, nor do they have to worry about living with parents. If they have a child, they can hire a nanny and a maternity matron.

Brian Fitzell looked at Lisa Donovan, “Are you sure?”@@novelbin@@

Lisa Donovan nodded, “I’m sure.”

As she said, she was already thirty-two years old. If she took a risk with Brian Fitzell, she would end up with nothing.

So, she couldn’t take that risk.

In the adult world, love alone isn’t enough.

Brian Fitzell never imagined that things would turn out this way. He initially thought that Lisa Donovan would understand him.

After all, they were like-minded people.

But now…

Brian Fitzell took a deep breath, “I’ll ask you one more time, Lisa, have you made up your mind?”

Lisa Donovan nodded, “Yes, I have.”

Brian Fitzell looked at Lisa Donovan’s resolute eyes, then said, “Alright then, I respect your decision. Let’s break up and cancel the wedding. We can each explain things to our respective parents, is that acceptable?”

“Yes,” Lisa Donovan felt strange. She never expected Brian Fitzell to choose to break up rather than withdraw his shares, “That’s what I was thinking too. Brian, I hope you won’t regret this decision. I’m leaving now.”

Having said so, Lisa Donovan removed her engagement ring from her finger, placed it on the car’s dashboard and said, “Goodbye. I wish you happiness.”

With that, Lisa Donovan turned and walked away.

Without an ounce of hesitation.

Brian Fitzell didn’t say anything. He just took a deep breath.

He couldn’t understand how things had turned out this way.

Ten minutes later, Brian Fitzell got out of his car and headed to the top floor of the Thompson Group building.
