After Rebirth, I Decisively Break Up with the Scummy Woman

I didn’t waste any more time talking to her – I told the lawyer to file the lawsuit immediately.

That really got to her.

She finally realized I was serious!

Her attitude changed completely. First, she removed me from her block list, and then she sent me a long string of messages.

I stared at them in disbelief for a while.

[Steve, isn’t this whole act just a way to get back together with me?]

[I’ll agree to it, but only if you write a statement saying all that money was a gift from you. Otherwise, no deal.]

[I can’t believe how heartless you’ve become after all this time together. I was just throwing a little tantrum because I wanted you to comfort me. I didn’t really want to break up! Now you’re keeping track of every penny – it’s really breaking my heart.]

I was stunned by how easily she could shift her attitude.

And I had no idea where she got the idea that I was demanding she pay me back as some kind of desperate attempt to reconcile.

Her words sounded so sincere – if I hadn’t lived through all of this once before, I might have believed her lies.

After reading the whole thing, I just replied with five words: [Cut the crap. Pay up.]

She immediately flew into a rage. [Steve, I’m giving you a chance to make this right, and you still won’t take it? Let me tell you something – if you pass on this opportunity, it’s gone for good]

[Thanks, but no thanks!]

[Fine! You want to play hardball? I’m telling you right now, even if you beg me on your knees, I’ll never take you back!]

[Same goes for you.]

Did she really think I didn’t know why she wanted to get back together?

She was only willing to pay me back so I’d write that statement, clearing her of any obligation. Then, once she dumped me again, she wouldn’t owe me a cent.

She had always been reckless with money, and she never saved a dime.

Even though she was five years older than me, she didn’t have a steady job. I invested in her clothing store, and it went under within two months.

Her attempt to become an online influencer failed, too.

For the past two years, she had lived comfortably only because of the money I gave her.

Now, asking her to pay me back was probably harder than asking her to give up her life.

Of course, during these two years, she’d given me some gifts as well.

It took me an entire afternoon to pack up all that junk.

Even though the items were worthless, I had once treasured them because they came from her. I had kept everything in perfect condition.

To avoid any drama, I even retrieved the old clothes I had thrown away earlier and packed them into a box to send back to her.

But I had seriously underestimated just how stubborn and shameless she could be.
