Chapter 4

Author: Copper Beet
Dylan frowned tightly, stunned.

"Max Cairncross, you are kicking me out?"

"What else? Should I keep feeding you for free like you are some honored guest?"

Dylan clearly had not expected me to say something so cold. His whole body trembled, and his voice instantly shot up several octaves.

"Max Cairncross, you bitch. No wonder Kelsey kept telling me you were never sincere about treating me as a friend.

"I used to doubt it. Now I finally see who you really are.

  • The Friendship Ledger   Chapter 7

    On the rooftop, Dylan sat on the very edge. His whole body trembled as he tried his best to stay calm so he would not accidentally fall.Dylan had always been afraid of death. I guessed this move had been Kelsey's idea."Max Cairncross, you finally came." Dylan looked back at me, his voice shaking."As long as you waive that nearly million-dollar rent, I can give my wife to you and consider staying alive."Brilliant.He had turned the money he owed me into "rent," used sexual rumors to destroy my reputation and future, and now wanted to use a suicide threat to force me to erase his debt.Dylan and Kelsey had truly worked hard on this show.Unfortunately, Dylan overestimated his place in my heart.I did not care about his life.I took out a copy of the court judgment. My voice was clear and firm so the livestream audience could hear."First, I have never charged Dylan Price rent. The nearly million dollars I am demanding is money he already owed me: more than $800,000 in loans

  • The Friendship Ledger   Chapter 6

    On the day of the trial, Dylan looked much thinner than before. His cheeks were sunken, his face pale, almost a ghoul.The evidence I had prepared was comprehensive: loan records, transfer records, repayment demands, and recordings in which Dylan repeatedly stated he did not want to pay.With a professional lawyer handling the case, the victory was no surprise.In the end, the court ordered Dylan to repay the money in installments within three years. Otherwise, enforcement would proceed.When we left the courthouse, Dylan hung his head like a defeated rooster.Kelsey no longer held his arm and comforted him the way she used to. Instead, she jabbed her finger hard into his forehead, every word full of accusation."Dylan Price, Dylan Price, how did I get so unlucky to marry a loser like you?"Could you not have borrowed the money before we got married? Why did you have to borrow it after?"Great. Now it has become marital debt."I am just a temp worker. I do not even have ten th

    I drove to Dylan's workplace. He was working in a factory stuffing cotton into plush toys.When I arrived, he had just gotten off work.The moment he saw me, he straightened his chest, a victorious smile rising at the corner of his mouth."What, did you realize you were wrong? Here to salvage our friendship? Let me tell you, it will not be that easy this time."He held up five fingers."You have to treat me and Kelsey to at least five hundred dollars' worth of steak before I forgive you."I handed him the printed bill."I am here to collect debt. From last January until now, you owe me a total of $826,349.57."Every time you borrowed money, you said you would pay me back as soon as possible. A year has passed, and I have not seen a single cent.""Is it really that serious?" Dylan rolled his eyes. "It is not like I am refusing to pay."I work myself to death and only make $3,500 a month. If I could pay you back, I would have done it already, okay?"I am not the kind of person

    Dylan frowned tightly, stunned."Max Cairncross, you are kicking me out?""What else? Should I keep feeding you for free like you are some honored guest?"Dylan clearly had not expected me to say something so cold. His whole body trembled, and his voice instantly shot up several octaves."Max Cairncross, you bitch. No wonder Kelsey kept telling me you were never sincere about treating me as a friend."I used to doubt it. Now I finally see who you really are."You know my career has been going downhill. You know I have almost no money. You know my life is hard. Yet when I need help the most, you kick me out."Do you think what you are doing is right?"Our argument quickly drew Ray and Kelsey over.Kelsey wrapped both arms around Dylan and patted his back, saying words that sounded comforting but were actually blame."Good boy, do not cry."If you were going to fight with Max, why did you not tell me first? At least I could have made a proper plan for you."Now look. You lost

    When I walked into the living room, it was a disaster.Pots, bowls, plates, and utensils had all been smashed. Even the TV had not been spared. A long crack ran across the screen.I truly did not have the energy to speak to Dylan anymore, so I sent him a text."Please clean the living room before I get home from work."Either compensate me for the damaged items at full price, or buy the exact same replacements and put them back."Dylan did not reply, but something slammed against his bedroom door.The sound was loud enough to make my heart ache.I knew he was expressing his dissatisfaction.That evening, when I came home from work, the living room and bathroom had been cleaned. The broken cookware and dishes had been replaced.But the crack in the TV was still there.Kelsey's father, Ray Palmer, had somehow arrived. He was sitting cross-legged at the head of the dining table, scrolling through videos with the volume turned up so loud it nearly pierced my eardrums.Kelsey was

    Immediately afterward, there came the sound of things being smashed outside, along with Dylan's muttered curses."What kind of person is he? He was the one trying to take advantage of me, and he left me alone outside the supermarket."How is he the one getting mad?"Kelsey comforted him. "Honey, calm down. Do not stoop to his level."We are living under someone else's roof. Just endure it."Dylan's voice rose."Do not make it sound like he has never lived under someone else's roof. Right after college, he stayed at my place for a month."I never once gave him attitude."That was true. He never gave me attitude. But on the very first night I moved in, I gave him three thousand dollars.It was an old, run-down apartment complex, and the unit was less than three hundred square feet. Three thousand was more than enough.Besides, I did all the chores and bought all the household supplies.Once I found a job, I immediately moved closer to my company.As for him, he had stayed at
