The sand he had supposedly collected just for me had actually been casually gathered during his trip to the beach with Anna.
In fact, just five minutes ago, Anna had posted an update on Facebook.
"Even sand that a dog doesn't want can make some people happy for a long time!"
In his eyes, I would always be the cheapest.
Even though I had already given up on Charles, I still couldn't stop my tears from flowing at that moment.
Yet Charles thought he had hit my weak spot, and his arrogant attitude returned.
"Huh! I knew what you were up to. You just wanted to get my attention!"
I held back my tears and looked at him. His face was full of disdain and smugness, but there wasn't the slightest trace of regret.
He had never regretted the way he hurt me.
"Charles, you really are beyond saving."
As if he sensed that he had me under his control, Charles finally spoke condescendingly, "Anna's been bored lately. Have your mom give her a job at the company.
"It should be a high position, but an easy one, so she won't get bullied!"
I was stunned for a moment before I realized that Charles was asking me for a favor.
Seeing how he acted like it was perfectly reasonable, I couldn't help but laugh in anger.
"Charles, we're about to get married, and you're always hanging out with Anna. But now you can't even show my mom some respect?!"
When Charles had struggled in his career, it was me who begged my mom to give him a job at her company.
The company was hard to get into, and Charles being given a position caused rumors to spread internally.
But Charles had no awareness of his privileged entry, and he openly bragged at the company.
If I hadn't begged my mom, he would have been fired long ago.
Now, how did he have the audacity to want to bring Anna into the company?
Seeing that I didn't respond, Charles impatiently threw something into my lap.
It was a cheap ring made from a soda can tab.
"Fine, all this fuss over a pair of rings? You're so petty!
"Your hands are ugly anyway, so it doesn't matter what you wear!"
