Ditched My Toxic Duo for a Billionaire Upgrade novel Chapter 100

Chapter 8

Hearing her words, Kal turned and walked away without hesitation.

Jaxon just threw out one last line.

“Like you?”

“We pitied you, that’s all! You think you deserve the same kind of love Winter got?”

After that day, Scarlett stopped coming to school.

But Kai and Jaxon’s condition didn’t improve–it just kept getting worse.

When the SAT scores came out, Kai and Jaxon could only get into community colleges–Harvard and MIT were completely out of reach, let alone Columbia.

At least they’d managed to scrape together three months‘ worth of savings.

Kai called me again.

“Winter, it’s been a while.”

“I don’t know how you’re doing, but things aren’t great on my end…”

I cut him off immediately.

“So you finally figured out what Scarlett’s really like?”

“But, what’s that got to do with me?”

Kai was stunned.

“You…”

“You knew the truth all along?”

I was speechless

“Did you really think someone who spends all day caking on makeup would actually be upset about not getting into college?”

“But since you chose her, you should’ve stuck with her till the end.”

“Half–assed rescuing is just fake virtue.”

The other end of the line went quiet.

When he heard I was about to hang up, he quickly added:

“Jaxon’s in the hospital.”

“We’re both on antidepressants now.”

“We’ve been thinking about you every single day, regretting what we did to you.”

1 stopped him.

“Don’t dump your sob story on me.”

“If you’re depressed, get Scarlett to tell you some jokes.”

“You brought this on yourselves–don’t mess with my life.”

“After this call, you’ll never be able to find me again.”

Then I hung up.

Kai was so stressed it felt like his insides were on fire, and the physical shit hit him hard–he was curled up in the phone booth, shaking like a leaf.

If Jaxon hadn’t rushed over in time, he might have passed out completely.

After they got him stabilized at the hospital, the two of them sat there staring at each other, both with bloodshot eyes.

Jaxon let out a heavy sigh.

“Her number’s disconnected.”

“Now, once you lost someone’s phone number, they were gone forever.”

“But we don’t deserve her love anyway.”

Kai lay weakly in the hospital bed.

*Chapter 8

“Yeah

“When she was depressed, we wouldn’t even tell her a joke.”

“Now that we’re the ones who are depressed, we finally get how important emotional support is We were complete assholes in our past life!”

“Still assholes in this one…”

Later, Scarlett never did jump in the river–she actually went and married that drunk from the street.

Then she resigned herself to having four kids with him.

Pretty traditional setup–three girls as the older siblings, one boy as the baby.
