The Fake Broke Billionaire: Why My Fiancé Dumped Me for a Trailer Park Princess Chapter 2

Thankfully, I finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel.

The day Jake fell for someone else.

After school today, Jake refused to take the public bus with me.

“Stella, my family’s old house was demolished. You know that.”

“Do you know how much the payout was?”

He gestured with his hand.

“Thirty million dollars.”

“I won’t be taking the public bus anymore.”

“You know what that means, right?”

Honestly, I didn’t.

I replied blankly:

“Sure. Let’s take an Uber then!”

Jake sighed dramatically.

“It’s not about the Uber fare.”

“Then what is it about?”

Jake’s tone suddenly felt unfamiliar.

“My mom said we’re moving out of the old neighborhood in a few days.”

“I mean, I’m basically an A8 family now. What about you?”

“What about me?”

Jake sighed again.

“I didn’t want to be blunt. Why are you so slow?”

“I believe everyone has the right to pursue better things. You can’t stop me from moving on to someone better, right?”

“So, Stella, you get my point?”

After all that rambling, I finally understood Jake’s point.

His family just got a massive payout.

And I, his girlfriend, was no longer good enough for him.

He was dumping me.

“Fine.”

He looked surprised that I agreed so quickly.

I got nosy.

“Who’s the ‘someone better’?”

“Summer Lei.”

“I think she’s the most suitable match for me right now.”

Oh, the school beauty, gorgeous and from a good family.

“Got it.”

I pulled out my phone.

“I agree to the breakup, but you have to tell my mom yourself.”

Jake frowned.

“Stella, we’re adults. Why involve our mothers?”

My attitude was firm.

“She won’t believe me if you don’t tell her.”

He sighed again.

“Fine.”

“Breaking up with poor people is such a pain.”

Poor people?

Is he talking about me?

I dialed the number. My mom was excited when she heard Jake’s voice.

“Jake, sweetie, want to come over for dinner tonight?”

“Your mom hasn’t answered my calls or texts all week. I wonder what she’s so busy with.”

Jake was silent for two seconds, sounding slightly guilty.

“Auntie, I called to tell you something.”

“I think we need to focus on our studies right now. We shouldn’t be distracted by romance.”

“So, Stella and I have decided to break up peacefully.”

“What peaceful breakup?!”

I screamed into the phone.

“Jake, why don’t you tell the truth!”

“Mom! His family got rich, and he thinks I’m not good enough!”

“He’s dumping me to chase the school beauty!”

Jake hung up the phone.

“Stella!”

This was the first time he had ever yelled at me.

“Can’t you be mature about this?”

“Why do you have to leave a bad impression on my aunt?”

Me: ???

What a jerk.

“Whatever. It’s over now.”

“I’m officially pursuing Summer starting tomorrow. Please tell the class we’ve broken up.”

I watched Jake walk away.

I was suddenly glad my mom made me pretend to be poor.

How else would I have seen his true colors?

But what made me happiest?

I finally didn’t have to pretend anymore.

And no more riding the public bus.
