Jade was surprised that Clara and Ethan divorced. She looked at him with pity, although Ethan had broken her heart, she held nothing against him."That is impossible, Ethan," Jade replied calmly. She had stopped loving him the moment he chose Clara over her; she had given up on him completely.Ethan's eyes widened in shock. He reached out to grab her arm, asking with trembling lips, "Why?"Jade gave him a stern look that made his hand freeze in mid-air. She took a deep breath and warned, "Because I am married, Ethan, and I love my husband."When Ethan heard this, panic overtook him, and he blurted out anxiously, "That is impossible! It's impossible!"Jade was surprised by his reaction. She raised an eyebrow, wondering why he didn't believe her. She retorted, "What makes you think so?"Ethan couldn't explain it either. His heart hurt, and he had never felt so scared in his entire life. He looked at Jade and then replied, "I am your first love. You’re lying that you love him. I know you
The director told him, "Mr. Ethan, I didn't invite you to my office to start an argument; I did so just to inform you of the changes. Please, return to your desk; this is official hours."Although Ethan was dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do. He was still surprised at how Clara managed to get such a court order—she didn't seem the type to believe Greg could perform such a miracle.When he returned to his desk, he was furious, but there was no outlet for his anger. He could only sulk in frustration.The door opened, and Tony, his friend, came in. Seeing Ethan like that, he asked, "What is the matter this time?"Ethan retorted furiously, "It’s that bitch Clara. I don't know how she got a kangaroo court order. She's requesting child support—child support! And this shitty company is going to cut my pay to settle her. I’m so angry."He let out a growl, expressing the deep frustration he was feeling. He was so angry, but there was nothing he could do about it. This feeling only mad
The more Ethan read the court summon, the angrier he became. His jaw clenched so tightly that his teeth ached."Clara wants child support—after dumping me for another man, after cheating on me," he muttered through gritted teeth. "That bitch is shameless, disgusting! I can't believe this! I’m so fucking angry!"In his rage, he tore the court notice into pieces, then paced around the room, frustration mounting. He couldn't understand why Clara would demand money now."Shameless cheating bitch," he cursed, bloodshot eyes blazing.He couldn’t stay still. One moment he sat, the next he stood, pacing furiously. His gaze turned icy, and without a word, he grabbed his coat and left his apartment.His body heated with frustration as he hailed a cab to Clara’s house.When the taxi stopped, he stormed out, fists clenched, and headed straight for the door. Without hesitation, he slammed his fist against it.From inside, Greg’s voice boomed, sharp and mocking. "Who the fuck is trying to tear my d
Mark shuddered inwardly, knowing his boss Victor’s twisted philosophy: the simpler the instruction, the greater the torment inflicted upon the recipient. Silently, he lit a candle for Ethan, a silent gesture of pity.“I’ll take care of that right away, Chairman,” Mark said, turning on his heel and walking out without another word.Once he was gone, Victor’s lips curled into a faint smile. His gaze drifted to a framed photograph of Jade sitting on his desk. His little wife—so sweet, so delicate. She probably hadn’t even touched her phone all day.“Who asked me to marry such a lovely wife?” he mused aloud, but there was no regret in his voice—only a strange sense of excitement and happiness about his marriage to Jade.Meanwhile, Ethan remained unaware of the plotting against him. Instead, anger simmered beneath his calm exterior. Since arriving at the company, he’d been bombarded with questions about his injured face.The bruises on his cheek hadn’t fully faded. Every time he recalled h
Ethan watched with shock as Clara obediently signed the divorce papers, then quietly walked into the kitchen. He was too shocked and in total disbelief because he had lived with Clara for many years, and he could tell she was a stubborn lady who would always refuse to obey his commands.But she actually listened to another man without complaint. She obeyed a loser, an ex-convict. The more he thought about this, the more he regretted all he had done for Clara—the number of times he had washed plates, cleaned the house, given her money, taken her on expensive dates, shopping. He regretted it all."Hey! Hey! She have signed the divorce. Take this loser out of my house. I don't want to ever see you both here again, or I am going to make sure you both go to hell," Greg threatened ferociously.Ethan looked at him and didn't say a word. He felt like Greg was right—he was actually a loser. He couldn't even compare to a man who had gone to jail and had nothing to his name apart from the crimes
Ethan wasn’t in the mood to discuss anything. He asked directly, “Are you going to help me get a divorce or not?”When Ken heard the tone in Ethan’s voice, he realized immediately that Ethan had already made up his mind. There was no persuading him otherwise.“Alright, let’s meet tomorrow. I’ll draft the divorce papers, and once you both sign, I’ll process it. Did she agree?” Ken asked cautiously.But Ethan’s thoughts suddenly drifted to Clara. His anger flared. “That damn bitch knows everything. I don’t care if she agrees or not. I’m not staying married to a known cheat. She deserves to die and rot in hell.”He abruptly ended the call, his breathing heavy with rage. Frustration boiled over as he grabbed a handful of sand and hurled it toward the river. He clenched his teeth tightly, feeling helpless.He sat there in the cold, unmoved, lost in his turmoil. When he finally left the riverbank, dawn was breaking. His appearance was disheveled, his mood bleak. His phone rang—Ken’s call.“
