Rewriting My Heart's Fate

I carefully observed Ethan's expression. As soon as I finished speaking, the look of disgust that quickly appeared on his face was the same as before. See? This was what men were like. It was not surprising at all. I wouldn't believe it either if someone who'd loved me for a long time and clung to me without any regard for their dignity, suddenly claimed they didn't love me anymore. That was why he couldn't accept my sudden change and why he showed disgust when I asked him, "Who are you to me?". It was just a small test.

I chuckled softly and took two steps back. "See? You can't answer, can you?

"I wasn't lying when I said I don't like you anymore. Everything I've done recently wasn't some kind of reverse psychology.

"Ethan," I called his name seriously. "Believe me, I won't cling to you anymore.

"There are only five days left. In five days, we'll graduate, and after graduation, we'll have nothing to do with each other.

"This city is actually quite small. In fact, it's so small that if we intentionally avoid each other, we won't run into each other."

With that, I turned to leave without looking back at him.

"If you don't like me anymore, then who do you like?"

I had barely taken two steps when Ethan suddenly grabbed my wrist, yanking me around to face him. His hands gripped my shoulders as he stared at me angrily. "Is it Liam that you like?"

He suddenly let out a mocking laugh, his tone dripping with disdain and sarcasm. "I heard that the Tyler family gave a project to the Wiley family this morning."

With that, Ethan released me and turned away coldly. "Evelyn, you and your family are really something, huh? You couldn't sell to the Grayson family, so you turned around and sold to the Tyler family, right?"

The rain suddenly poured down, the sound of raindrops hitting the umbrella filled my ears with a constant patter. All I could hear was Ethan's words echoing in my head.

"You couldn't sell to the Grayson family, so you turned around and sold to the Tyler family."

What had Jack done this time?
