The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 244 This Was Clearly a Jab at Him for What Had Happened Before

Zane quickly shook his head. "No way, Natalie! I'm not that kind of person! I didn't do it!"

"Then break up with Ruby immediately. Now," Natalie ordered.

"Huh?" Zane was dumbfounded.

"What's the matter? You don't want to?"

"I do! Of course, I do!" Zane quickly pulled out his phone, dialed Ruby's number, and put it on speaker.

"Hello, Ruby?" Zane said into the phone. "I'm breaking up with you right now. As of this moment, you're no longer my girlfriend."

Before Ruby could even respond, Zane ended the call and blocked all of Ruby's accounts in front of Natalie.

He then obediently handed his phone to Natalie. "Here, Natalie, check if you want."

Natalie took Zane's phone and tapped through it. "Wasn't Ruby your girlfriend? Yet, the moment I told you to break up, you did it without hesitation? What kind of spineless jerk are you?"

"She was my girlfriend, yes, but only because my mom liked her I never did!" Zane said, looking aggrieved. "And I swear, I never bullied Ms. Sinclair with her.

He added, "To be honest, Natalie, I knew that Ruby's mom was a mistress. She got involved with Mr. Sinclair knowingly-she wasn't deceived. And honestly? I never wanted to date the daughter of a mistress.

"But Ruby's mom worked hard to please my mother, hoping to secure Ruby a place in the Holt family. She went all out to win my mother over, and I was just the one being forced to comply.

"So the moment you told me to break up with her, I couldn't be happier!"

"Oh?" Natalie glanced at Zane, who looked at her with a mix of grievance and flattery.

"Natalie, I swear I never bullied Ms. Sinclair," Zane continued. "If there are rumors about me bullying her, then Ruby must be the one spreading them!
