Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 792 I Think You're Not Good Enough for Me

Ann was still chillin' on the couch, a sly grin on her face. "Brody, you got more book smarts than me. I used to think I wasn't good enough for you, but now, I think you're not good enough for me. So, I'm calling off the engagement." That hit Brody right where hurt.

He graduated from Silver Bay University, while Ann's school was just some average college. How could she say he wasn't good enough for her? And he was raking in the cash too.

Brody wasn't about to think about his own cheating. Instead, he sneered, "Fine, looks like you've found someone better, Ann. I never thought you'd be this kind of person." Throwing shade and shifting blame classic moves some guys love to pull.

Right then, Ann not only thought Brody wasn't good enough for her, but she also felt she must've been blind to waste seven years of her life with him!

"Brody, you're the one who found someone better, yet you accuse me of it. Did your fancy university teach you that? I feel bad for your professors. How many years has it been since you graduated, and you're still bragging about your school? Is Silver Bay University gonna be the peak of your life? My school might not be as fancy, but I make just as much money as you do. You keep using your school to put me down, but your school is your highlight, not mine!"

Brody was left totally speechless, not knowing what to say.

Ann felt a mix of satisfaction and pain.

She realized she'd been rehearsing these words for a long time, that she already knew the truth.

It was only because she loved him that she put up with it all this time.

"Brody, there's no point denying what happened with Jessica. Our colleagues saw it, and someone even snapped photos. Last night, I followed your car, but you didn't notice 'cause you were in such a rush to see her. I waited outside all night, and you never came out. With all this evidence, you still wanna deny it? You're truly disgusting." Ann stared him down. "Now, got anything else to say?"

In reality, Ann hadn't followed him the previous night, but she knew that once his mask was ripped off, Brody would be lost.

Selena was right; guys like him fear independent women, women with backbone.

She used to love him, so she hid all her pride. Now that she decided to let go, Brody was nothing!

Ann smiled and took a deep breath. "That's it. We're done."

Brody's voice shot up instantly.

"If that's how it is, there's something you need to know. The new house we bought? It's a bust. The hundreds of thousands we put in? Gone. But the house is in your name, and since we're not hitched yet, it's not my problem. So, I need my sixty grand back."

When they bought the house, each of them had chipped in sixty thousand. Now that the project had tanked, Brody didn't want to take the hit, so he wanted Ann to pay him back.

Ann froze, staring at him like she didn't even recognize him.

After what felt like forever, she asked, her voice shaky, "You work at Sunshine Real Estate Company. You must've known this project was gonna fail, right?"

Brody got all defensive. "How would I know? It's not a Sunshine Real Estate property. I was ready to face the hardship with you, but clearly, you're not worth it. Ann, you never were. Now that we're breaking up, it's for the best. You need to transfer the sixty grand to my account within a week."

Ann didn't have that kind of money lying around; she only had a few thousand bucks.

When she put in those tens of thousands, it had been all her savings.

Brody seemed sure she couldn't come up with the cash, so he softened his tone. "As long as you pretend you don't know anything, we can still be like we were before."

No sooner had he finished talking than he got a hard slap across the face.

He touched his cheek, seeing Ann's expression turn steely. "Brody, I'll replace a way to get you the money."

With that, she pushed the door open and left.

Brody, fuming, yelled, "You won't let anyone get close to you! Who's gonna give you sixty grand? Besides me, who else would want you? Ann, don't think too highly of yourself. You're average-looking, average-educated, and all you can do is work. Let's see how you come up with sixty grand in a week! You'll come crawling back to me!"

When Ann got outside, she felt completely drained.

Then she saw a familiar car parked outside-it was Selena's.

Selena had come over a while ago but hadn't come up to interfere.

Matters of the heart aren't for outsiders to meddle in.

Selena got out of the car and nodded at her.

At that moment, Ann felt like a million rays of light were rushing toward her.

"Ms. Fair."
