Logan tilted his head while observing her. “But I suppose it has something to do with my status.”
As soon as he said so, Jasmine’s face was drained of color, as she couldn’t deny the truth in Logan’s words.
Undeniably, his status did play a part in her choice, as she did give consideration to Logan’s familial background
before dating him. However, her feelings for him were also valid. She loved him, and his familial background just so
happened to match her expectations, so they got together without a hitch.
If he had to fuss over such details, she could only admit that his background was indeed a factor in her choosing
him. To be honest, if Logan were to retain his personality but stripped of his status, she wouldn’t have dated him.
Humans were practical by nature, so she didn’t think it was something to be ridiculed. Heaving a sigh, she told him,

we talked things through, so you don’t exactly need to humiliate me like this.”
On the other hand, Logan never intended to humiliate her, as he was merely stating the facts. Also, Logan was
never a sweet talker, as it was his motto to be straightforward. He would refute anybody, including his elders, which
was evidence of his brazen attitude. With a smile, he apologized to her. “I am sorry if it sounded like I was
humiliating you, but that’s just how I always am, and I never mince my words.”
Jasmine clenched her fists under the table before saying, “Oh… Alright, I will be naming a price since that is what
you’re willing to offer.” Sticking a finger up at him, she asked, “How about ten million?”
With an expression as cool as ever, Logan replied, “Sure.”
Upon witnessing his reaction, Jasmine’s countenance shifted. She thought she was being a little outrageous by
demanding such a large sum, but Logan was totally unfazed by it, which served to prove how determined he was to
break up with her. Nodding, she agreed to it.
“Since you don’t seem to have any objections, ten million it is.” Then, Logan stood from his chair, seemingly
deeming the meal unnecessary now that things were settled between them. “I will make a transfer to your account
tomorrow.” After saying that, he left without dawdling, leaving Jasmine sitting by the table with a pale face. He sure
is impartial toward me. I wasn’t being exactly serious about the compensation, but he didn’t even question my
motives. Doesn’t he know how hurtful his attitude can be? We could have still chosen to part amicably and revert to
being friends. Why must he end things in such an unsightly manner? After leaving the restaurant, Logan was driving
around aimlessly. He didn’t feel like going back to the clubhouse, so he went to Lola’s house shamelessly. In the
meantime, Lola was busy cooking, but she could hardly focus on the task at hand as she was constantly recalling
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwhat happened last night. She never brought any other man into her house, including the man whom she had a
blind date with, as she didn’t allow him into her house, so Logan was by far the first and only exception. Thoughts
about Logan led her to curse his name under her breath while cooking. Judging from his increasingly odd behavior,
she figured he must’ve had a few loose screws in his head. What he did implicated her by injecting weird illusions
into her mind, making her feel both awful and uncomfortable. There was a knock on the door just when she was
done with the first dish. Stopping in her movements, Lola had a hunch as to who was at the door, as she never had
visitors at her house. With the spatula in her hand, she turned around to get to the door. However, she saw that the
corridor was empty when she looked through the peephole. .
