Ethan’s Vengeance of Love

Well, so how did Ethan find out about Keith’s proposal? Keith and Alice were the only two people in the room then. However, they were actually being spied on. “Were you the one who spied on Keith and me at the club earlier today?” This was the first thought that popped up into Alice’s mind, and it made sense for her to make this assumption.

Ethan didn’t deny it—although Chris was the one who had been spying on them, Ethan overheard what they said as well. “That doesn’t seem right. I didn’t expect you to be someone who would have the free time to do such disrespectful things.” Alice corrected herself after thinking about it for a while more. “It was Chris, wasn’t it?” she asked with a chuckle.

Although she phrased her sentence as a question, there was a hint of certainty in her voice—it was as if she already knew the answer. “Chris was the one who spied on us, and then he told you about it.” Ethan curled his lips into a smirk upon hearing her words. Who said she’s silly? Who said she’s dumb? I only said one sentence, and she figured the whole truth out in a matter of seconds.

When Ethan first asked that question, he had already expected her to guess that she had been spied upon. However, she even managed to guess that Chris was the one who spied on them before reporting to Ethan. She sure is witty! She got it really quickly, too. She knows that I wouldn’t engage in such a pointless, disrespectful act. Ethan was rather pleased by what she said. It seems like she knows me pretty well, he thought. He was glad to know this.

“Why did Chris have to eavesdrop and tell you about all of this? Doesn’t he have better things to do?” Alice asked. Ethan wasn’t as pleased after hearing this. It might have been wrong for Chris to spy on them, but since Chris found out that Alice was with Keith and that Keith had proposed to her, wouldn’t it only make sense for Chris to tell him about it?

“You didn’t reject Keith when he proposed to you,” Ethan uttered in a hushed and grim tone. Alice had technically rejected him, but her rejection seemed somewhat flimsy and uncertain. Furthermore, she even commented on how Keith had good qualities—that practically sounded like she was accepting his proposal. So, Ethan wasn’t wrongfully accusing her.

“So, what?” Alice eyed the man puzzledly. “What are you trying to say?” Alice and Ethan’s marriage was merely an agreement. We are going to get a divorce in six months, so shouldn’t we just mind our own business? Anyway, I already rejected Keith’s proposal. I only commented on Keith’s qualities because I was reminded of what happened that night seven years ago. When I wanted to clarify things a little more, Keith realized that we were being spied on, so I didn’t get a chance to reject him properly. Chris is the one at fault here!

the atmosphere around them felt almost romantic. However, when Alice felt the pressure of the man’s hand against her neck, she didn’t think that he was trying to seduce her. “Let’s not get violent here, Mr. Knight,” she uttered instead. He’s not going to beat me up, is he? I don’t think he’s the sort of person who would lay hands

What’s Mr. Knight trying to do? Is he going to kiss me? No, that’s impossible. He only married me because of Caroline, and he only signed a contract for a six-month marriage. Furthermore, my looks are ‘destroyed’ now. I bet he’s just trying to scare me. Well, with his hand against the back of my neck, I do feel rather intimidated. My skin is tingling with fear, and
