Ethan’s Vengeance of Love

But when he witnessed the way she pulled a prank on Bruce and made him embarrass himself in public… Ethan felt that all the disgruntlement that had been accumulating in his heart since they registered their marriage had evaporated in an instant.

Still, he narrowed his eyes and watched as Bruce hobbled toward the exit slowly. He knew that Alice had always kept a clear line between love and hate, so he reckoned that she wouldn’t have treated Bruce this way if he hadn’t provoked her first. Therefore, there was only one possibility—Bruce knew that Emma wanted to drug Alice, or maybe, he was an accomplice to that scheme.

Have I been maintaining such a low profile for so long that any Tom, Dick, and Harry have the nerve to walk all over my woman?! It looks like I have to do something about this later, he mused.

Alice turned to him and was stunned when she caught him smiling. When this man smiles, he looks… cute and eye-catching. But what’s the point of a man looking so cute?

Nonetheless, she was touched when he said ‘well done’ to her.

For the past seven years, in order to keep the company, protect her brother, and avenge her parents, it was destined that she could no longer be the gentle, innocent, and carefree girl living in an ivory tower. In contrast, she had to get out of that tower and become her own knight in shining armor. Thus, she would often resort to somewhat shady means to achieve her goals.

She was aware that many men disliked ruthless women, so Ethan’s compliment took her by surprise. She didn’t expect that he would express his approval instead of reprimanding her for being so unladylike.

“Your father told you to come, right?” It was uncommon for her to chat casually with him in public. “Sorry to trouble you.”

Trouble? Ethan repeated in his head and couldn’t understand which part was troublesome for him. However, that didn’t affect him from making use of the subject for his own means. “So, you know that it’s troublesome for me, huh?”

Last night, he asked for advice from someone, and they told him that he should display the right amount of vulnerability in front of a woman because that would make her feel sorry for him!
