Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 32 The Turning Point of Fate

Ethan was caught off guard when I questioned him, so he dodged the answer. "In his mind, you've already achieved your goal," Ethan remarked.

I didn't get what Ethan meant at the time. Maybe he was talking about that day at the bar when he acted all close to me in front of Arthur. Arthur definitely didn't buy my innocence; otherwise, he wouldn't have said those nasty things earlier. "Why did you show up out of the blue? I don't think it was a coincidence," I asked.

Ethan flicked his cigarette ash and smiled, "Frank's my friend. He owns this bar. He even greeted you that day at Blue Ocean Bar. Emily, your memory is terrible."

Then it hit me I had met Frank before, which is why he seemed familiar.

Ethan picked up his phone, tapped a few times, and music started playing on the big screen. "Want to go wild the night before your divorce? Let's do it!"

He leaned back on the sofa, his shirt unbuttoned at the top, showing off a sexy, firm chest.

That night, I sang until my voice was hoarse. Around midnight, Ethan drove me back to Broadway Alley and then left.
