Chapter 30: Pick Him Up

Cara Williams was fuming.
Cole Stone slept soundly.
Cole Stone could now sleep soundly since the trouble with Jane Smith was finally resolved.
This was the first time that he slept this good for the past few nights.
After waking up, he got out of bed and sent his parents to the train station.
Their hometown was only slightly more than three hours away from Sky City.
After escorting his parents into the train, Cole Stone secretly transferred Jane Smith’s five hundred dollars back to his mother.
Cole Stone then went straight to his new house after leaving the train station.
While he was on his way to the new house, he contacted a locksmith.
It was time to change the new house’s lock!
Cole Stone considered moving into the new house.
To be honest, he wanted to sell the new house because he was left with no other choice.
But it was different now!
Cole Stone calculated that the sum of his debt and mortgages was only about six thousand dollars. If he used the ten thousand dollars that he got from Jane Smith, he would still have four thousand left.
By then, he would not have to worry too much about not having enough money to pay the bills.
After all, if he could save on rent, he could save a lot of money.
However, he immediately rejected this thought.
His studio apartment was located in a far better place for him to run around.
The location of the new house was not suitable for him to travel around.
But the new house could not remain empty…
Cole Stone muttered to himself, then his expression brightened.
How about he rented it out?
…
Afternoon.
After changing the lock and getting the new key, Cole Stone went back to his studio apartment.
The idea of renting his new house was put aside for now.
He was worried that a weird tenant would ruin his studio apartment.
When he entered the studio, Cole Stone could still see the traces of him rummaging through his belongings yesterday.
“How messy.”
Cole Stone shook his head, then he sat down at his computer.
He planned to make a living as a fitness instructor.
Today, no one in Sky City’s gym dared to hire him.
In the absence of a fitness center, Cole Stone could only develop his career in other ways.
Cole Stone’s culinary skills were actually decent.
Under such circumstances, cooking nutritious meals for others would definitely fetch him good money.
In the past three years, Cole Stone did not only busy himself with the appropriate certifications, but he also accumulated many customers
If he could find his old customers, he might be able to earn a living.
No, he had to find them!
Cole Stone quickly found the password to his Facebook account that remained dormant for a long time.
This was the account that he used when he was about to go crazy from trying to earn money.
In the end, because he could not attract a decent customer base, he thought that he had only wasted his time advertising his services online.
But today…
‘I’m going to try this again!’
When he opened his Facebook profile, Cole Stone sighed.
He remembered back then that he was truly obsessed with earning money for his house’s down payment that he began to dream about money. His desire had almost turned into a dangerous obsession.
The first thing he thought about when he opened his eyes was money.
He ate and thought of money.
He even considered whether he could be a fitness coach of an eSports team.
If not for the pressure to earn, who would want to think about money all day long?
If not for the harsh reality, no young man would choose to grow up…
…
After a moment of nostalgia, Cole Stone got to work.
He spent the entire afternoon organizing his posts and posting them on Facebook.
At the same time, he also sent private messages to his former students.
Even though they might not reply to him, Cole Stone still gave everyone a personalized message.
Sadly, he received only a handful of replies.
There were even people who knew that Cole Stone had been blacklisted by the entire gym industry in Sky City.
They insulted Cole Stone.
He was already blacklisted from the industry, yet he still dared to come out to try and deceive others?
Cole Stone was just about to reply and explain when a friend request notification popped up…
The other party had already blocked Cole Stone.
Seeing this, Cole Stone was furious.
Immediately afterwards, however, Cole Stone composed himself and remained focused on his goal.
Earning money was not that easy after all!
Following this, Cole Stone temporarily stopped using Facebook.
Apart from the gyms, he looked at job recruitment websites once again.
If this did not work out, he would switch careers.
After scrolling through the entire night, Cole Stone submitted many resumes to various establishments.
The time was now 10: 30 PM.
Looking at the time, Cole Stone was about to get up and move around.
All of a sudden…
Knock!
There was a knock on the door.
Cole Stone was stunned. “Who is it?”
“It’s me, Mr. Stone.”
A gentle and familiar voice responded.
It was Hugh Williams.
Cole Stone was astonished.
Hugh Williams’s late-night visit was a surprise.
He stood up. “Uncle Hugh, I’ll open the door for you now.”
Cole Stone subconsciously glanced at the living room.
He was secretly glad that he had tidied up the place early in the morning.
Otherwise, he would be too embarrassed to invite people inside.
When he reached the door, Cole Stone unlocked it.
As the door opened, Cole Stone asked, “Uncle Hugh, it’s already so late. What’s the matter?”
He saw Hugh Williams standing outside the door in a black suit.
A warm smile appeared on his lips. “Miss asked me to pick you up.”
“Pick me up?”
Cole Stone was surprised.
She didn’t tell him about this!
“Miss is waiting for you as we speak. Miss said that she has already informed you and she asked me to pick you up. Is it convenient?”
Hugh Williams smiled.
Cole Stone’s lips twitched.
He felt a sense of foreboding.
Cole Stone recalled Cara Williams’s mysterious fury yesterday.
He was sure that she was angry, but why was she suddenly inviting him over?
Connecting the dots, the seemingly unrelated incidents seemed suspicious.
Cole Stone thought about it for a while and he couldn’t help but feel anxious.
Nevertheless, he replied amicably. “Uncle Hugh, I’m free tonight. All right, I’ll go with you..”
