Before Vivian could say a single word, Wesley stepped in front of her, shielding her from Ethan."You ruined Vivian's future, drove her out of the country, and made sure her grandfather couldn't even pass away in peace. How dare you come crawling back and ask her to take you back!"Wasn't Chloe the woman you chose? When you stole Vivian's research data for a liar like Chloe, did you ever stop to think that this day might come?"Wesley let out a mocking laugh before continuing, "Ethan, you apologized in front of everyone because you'd reached the end of your rope. You cried because you finally realized that one woman would never take you back, while the other had only ever wanted to trap you with her lies."This whole spectacle of yours is nothing more than an attempt to make both women feel sorry for you at the same time.
