Chapter 3

I was not trying to do anything rash. I simply wanted desperately to prove to myself that my suspicions were wrong.

They went to a pet funeral service center.

I parked my car at a corner and slowly waited for them to come out.

Time passed very slowly. It was as though a century had passed before they came out.

However, they were indeed holding hands!

When they walked closer to my car, Martin suddenly stopped moving. He stood there and hugged Olivia.

“Olivia, Teddy’s gone. I no longer have the will to live. I can’t lose you too. Please don’t marry Ethan.”

Then, he started to kiss Olivia’s neck in public as he ran his hands all over her body.

Olivia pushed him aside. “Martin, I know you’re upset, but please don’t do this. Ethan almost noticed the hickey you left on my neck two days ago.

“I only slept with you yesterday to formally say goodbye to you. We’ve been broken up for over a year. This is bad for us.”

I was shocked when I heard that.

Olivia and I had been together for more than two years, and she had only broken up with Martin a year ago. It turned out that she had been cheating on me all along.

Martin was sobbing hard as tears streamed down his cheeks. “I was wrong, Olivia. I didn’t want to break up with you. Let’s get back together. I love you, and I know you love me deeply too.

“I don’t believe you can just let go of our decade-long relationship. As long as you stay with me, I don’t care what I am to you. Even if you get married to him, I’m willing to be your secret lover that others will look down upon.”

However, I did not expect Olivia to be touched by such shameless words.

She reached out to wipe Martin’s tears away. “You’re too good to be my secret lover. That’s bad for you.”

“No, I can bear with anything as long as I can be with the person I love.”

Olivia tiptoed and kissed him passionately.

They were kissing fervently right in front of my car. My rage grew.

I immediately honked the horn.

They jumped apart in shock. Olivia was dumbfounded as she stared at me with her mouth agape. I got out of the car.

Before I could speak, Olivia immediately threw herself at me. “Ethan, hear me out. It’s not what you think.”

I pushed her aside coldly and said, “I saw it with my own eyes. What lies are you going to tell me?”

“Martin is just depressed because of Teddy’s death. I’m just comforting him.”

“Do you have to kiss him to comfort him?”

“No, you were mistaken. I was only hugging him. From your angle, it seemed like we’re kissing. I love you so much; why would I do anything else with another man?

“Aren’t we going to get married? Let’s head over to the city hall before they close for the day.”

At the same time, someone sent me a text message. It was from Madison Smith.

My parents had adopted her. She was two years older than me. Ever since I fell out with my parents over Olivia, she was the one in charge of our family business.

“Ethan, I’ll invest eighty million dollars in Reid Corporation tomorrow.”

I sneered secretly and told her, “Hold on. Wait for my instructions.”

I immediately became calm after reading that text message.

Even though I was estranged from my parents, I was still the successor of Anderson Corporation. I could not be cheated on like that.

I immediately concealed my anger and pushed her into my car.

“Alright, let’s just say I was mistaken. I hope I won’t see that again.”
