Chapter 109 I Don't Want To Owe You

• "I hate you, Madeline, but my hatred has nothing to do with the shame of you running away from the wedding or the financial losses. I hate you because you walked away from us, from our love. My bitterness comes from feeling like everything I cherished for so long was just a joke, a betrayal of my values. I liked you, I loved you, and the money I spent and the effort I put in were all worth it. So, you don't owe me anything. Whatever debts I have, they're my responsibility, and they have nothing to do with you. If we were still together and you wanted to help me with my debts, I wouldn't object. I would see it as something I deserved."
• Then, in a slower but more somber tone, Enrique continued, "But we've already gone our separate ways, and it's a clean break. Since we're no longer a couple, why bring up these issues? You feel like you owe me, and it's causing you guilt and self-torment. If you think I owe you something, would it be better if I took your money? You don't want to be indebted to me, and I don't want to owe you either. Let's just move on and make it easier for both of us, okay?"
• After Enrique's words, Madeline suddenly calmed down for a moment. She silently wiped away her tears with a tissue before opening her bag and taking out a piece of paper, placing it on the table. She said to Enrique, "The details are here. You can transfer the money as you wish. Let's settle everything clearly, as you desire."
