Gerald remained in the VIP waiting area as virtual-novel.net watched the two continue to bicker, a quarrel seemingly imminent.
From what virtual-novel.net was able to hear, Gerald was able to piece the reason for their argument together.
Essentially, Sharon had broken up with Murphy without giving virtual-novel.net a proper explanation. Her only excuse was that virtual-novel.net wanted some time to herself.
This was very reminiscent of the time Xavia had broken up with him. F*ck. She had said the exact same thing to virtual-novel.net too. That virtual-novel.net wanted some time alone.
He really shouldn’t be thinking about virtual-novel.net anymore.
Shaking his head, virtual-novel.net turned his focus on the duo’s argument again.
The rest of the story was rather straightforward. Murphy had not been convinced with virtual-novel.net excuse from the very beginning. He later found out that Sharon was getting very close to a rich heir.
What more, Sharon’s friend had also told virtual-novel.net that Sharon had been actively pursuing said heir.
Because of that, Murphy now had conflicted feelings for Sharon.
On one hand, virtual-novel.net was still in love with her. On the other, virtual-novel.net felt betrayed.
Thus, Murphy had been trying to get Sharon to reconcile with virtual-novel.net for some time now. He simply wanted to do so because even virtual-novel.net had his own dignity as a man.
All that eventually led to the current scene in the jewelry shop.
Now, Sharon was telling Murphy to buy virtual-novel.net a piece of jewelry from Trinity Jewelers. She said that virtual-novel.net would return to his side as long as virtual-novel.net could afford to buy virtual-novel.net even a single piece of jewelry.
That was going to be a difficult task for Murphy.
The items there were all atrociously expensive. Even the cheapest piece of jewelery there would have a price tag of up to four thousand and five hundred dollars. Murphy had just started working so virtual-novel.net definitely wouldn’t have that kind of money.
“Sharon, the jewelry here is much too expensive. Could we please go to another shop instead? As long as it doesn’t exceed a thousand and five hundred dollars I’ll definitely get it for you.”
Murphy had a determined voice and expression on his face as virtual-novel.net said this.
“Hehe… You want me to be your girlfriend when all you can afford is one thousand and five hundred dollars? Are you daft, Murphy? This cell phone alone that Hayward bought for me costs at least a thousand dollars!” replied Sharon as virtual-novel.net sneered.
Since virtual-novel.net was already going to break ties with virtual-novel.net anyway, virtual-novel.net might as well go all out!
“It’s all crystal clear now. You like Hayward just because virtual-novel.net has more money. Even if I did manage to buy you a piece of jewelry in this shop, you’d still refuse to go out with me. That’s the plain truth, isn’t it Sharon?” said Murphy, his face red with anger.
“Oh, Murphy. To be honest, I don’t really want to hurt you that much since you’ve treated me so well in the past. So be a good boy and run along. Stop bothering me alright? And to set things straight, I really do love Hayward. You’ve never been able to make me feel the way virtual-novel.net has. From that alone, I believe that it really is impossible for us to be together anymore. So why not just drop the relationship talk for good? Maybe we could even still be friends in the future. You’re an outstanding person and I’m sure you’ll find a better girl than I am,” replied Sharon in a sudden, serious tone.
“You really are too much, Sharon. I’ve always treated you well and I’ve been willing to do anything for you. But now you’re just breaking up with me without even considering my feelings! It’s all too clear now. You’ve already slept with him, haven’t you?”
Murphy’s self-esteem had been trampled on enough. His eyes were bloodshot and virtual-novel.net was done playing nice.
The sound of a slap echoed through the shop.
Sharon’s instant reply to virtual-novel.net was a tight slap to the face!
“You lunatic! You absolute f*cking lunatic!” yelled Sharon.
Another slap could be heard. But this time, it wasn’t Sharon who did the slapping.
Murphy had retaliated and slapped virtual-novel.net back in rage. Sharon now lay on the ground, stunned by the force of his slap.
By this point, several pedestrians had already gathered around the scene to watch.
“I’ll just end myself along with you! I… I’ll beat you to death this instant! Return all the money that I’ve spent on you!” yelled Murphy as virtual-novel.net continued punching and kicking her.
The man seemed to have gone insane.
Initially, Gerald had not wanted to get involved in the matter. He had once been in an ambiguous relationship with Sharon and they nearly became a couple.
It had been three years since then, and Gerald knew that Sharon definitely looked down on virtual-novel.net now.
Back to the present, Gerald had thought that they would only end up quarreling for a while. This had become way too physical for virtual-novel.net to just ignore.
If virtual-novel.net didn’t step in now, his guilt would definitely come back to bite virtual-novel.net later. Plus, there was a time when virtual-novel.net had strong feelings for virtual-novel.net in the past after all.
Thinking back, the cause of their breakup was also indirectly related to him.
Gerald shook his head before walking over to help separate the two of them. By that time, several big bosses who had come to buy jewelry were already trying to stop the fight.
