My girlfriend Mabel Allen and I have been in love for three years, but she has abandoned me ninety-nine times for her assistant Atlas Jacqueline.
Until today, I booked the most expensive restaurant to propose to her, but she broke the appointment again.
I found Mabel, thinking she had some difficulties.
But I only saw Mabel snuggling in the arms of her assistant:
"Don't mention Brent Atticus to me, this good-for-nothing guy is just my plaything! Even his job was given by me. How could I marry him?"
I sneered, threw the engagement ring I bought into the trash can, and posted on Instagram: "Depressed. Anyone want to hang out? Limited time invitation."
Everyone thought I was just jealous and deliberately angered Mabel.
But I called my richest father who I hadn't contacted for three years and solemnly said:
"I'm sorry, father, I am willing to go back to inherit the family business and marry Miss Raymond."

The reasoning of this woman left me utterly astounded!


Even Sallie couldn't suppress a chuckle beside me.


Striving to maintain my composure, I inquired, "What's your asking price?"


Despite my mental preparation, hearing that figure still took my breath away.


Mabel spoke as if it were perfectly sensible. "Don't consider it excessive. I devoted the most precious three years of my life to you. How can you put a price on a woman's youth?"


Fearing my disagreement, she adopted a saccharine tone and implored, "Ridley, please give me thirty million dollars. Once I resolve the company's issues, I might reconsider and become your girlfriend again, alright?"


"I'm sorry, but dating you is beyond my financial means. It's simply too costly."


How had I been so blinded by love that I never noticed this woman's true nature?
