Ethan’s Vengeance of Love

Emma was no fool. Otherwise, she couldn’t have maintained her spot as the top socialite of Rodcaster. Therefore, she immediately had a sense of what was going on based on Irvin’s expression. Nonetheless, she sneaked a glance at Alice before saying nonchalantly, “Alice has always held a torch for Bruce and wanted to marry him, but sadly, something happened during the wedding, and it was canceled. Actually, she returned just for him.”

“You mean, A—Miss Woland returned because of Bruce?” Irvin froze for a second, looking a little confused. Did Alice return because of Bruce?

“Yeah. Initially, when Dad called her, she didn’t even want to come home. However, the instant she heard that Bruce would be here, she changed her mind right then and there. It’s obvious that he’s the man she loves. Besides, she hardly paid any attention to anyone else at the party tonight.” Emma picked up more clues from the questioning tone that Irvin used earlier and lied through her teeth without even a flinch. “I can tell that Alice is still deeply in love with him. She even misunderstood me because of him and is still mad at me.” Toward the end of her sentence, she even pouted and wore just the right amount of sadness on her face to gain pity.

Nevertheless, Irvin had discerning eyes, especially since he grew up in a rather complicated family. Thus, he had seen more than enough similar situations and could easily tell that Emma was lying. It also didn’t hurt that he had been on the third floor the entire time and saw everything that happened from the beginning until the end. In addition, he was aware of how repulsive Emma truly was, so he didn’t believe a single word she said.

“Ethan, let’s have a drink over there. Having such a disgusting presence before me makes me want to throw up.” One had to admit that Irvin was far from gentlemanly, especially toward individuals he deemed unworthy of his time and attention.

His statement was harsh and vicious, and he even deliberately raised his voice when he made such a remark. Although Alice had always said that Ethan was mean and sarcastic, he wasn’t even on the same level as Irvin. Thus, by the time everyone had snapped back to their senses, they were fully aware of what he was insinuating. He was publicly criticizing Emma, but his words were so satisfying that some couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

A few minutes later, Irvin and Ethan went to the bar. Irvin took a seat next to Bruce while Ethan sat next to him instead of sitting next to Alice. That woman always pretended not to know him when she was out and might just leave if he sat next to her.
