Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 73

Chapter 73 Something That Could Ruin Me

The info had a bunch of nudes, and guess what? The star of the show was yours truly.

So, this was what Arthur meant by something that could totally wreck me.

From the looks of the background, it was definitely Arthur's bathroom. No wonder the door was half-open after my shower that day. Finding out Arthur took those pics without me knowing really creeped me out.

And Arthur wasn't just using this to blackmail Ethan into dropping the whole reputation thing; now he wanted a cool $7 million.

I glanced at the bathroom door; the water was still running. After a quick think, I shot back a reply: [10 AM tomorrow, at Romance Restaurant.]

Then I screenshotted all the messages and sent them to my phone, wiping everything from Ethan's phone. As soon as I heard the water stop, I put the phone back where it was. Ethan walked out, towel-drying his hair.

My heart was still racing, and my palms were sweaty from what just went down.

"I'm gonna take a shower," I said, heading to the bathroom to dodge him.

Once inside, I splashed some cold water on my face.

Those pics were probably what Arthur wanted me to go to his hometown for. Even after he hurt me once, I was still too naive and let him trick me again.

I used to think Arthur was just a hypocrite and a jerk, but I didn't know he could be this shameless and greedy. He thought he could get $7 million with those pics? Not a chance.

After my shower, Ethan was already in bed, messing with his phone. Seeing him on his phone made me almost instinctively nervous.

Luckily, Ethan seemed chill, like he didn't suspect a thing. He looked at me and teased, "What? Scared of me? Too chicken to come up?"

I got into bed, and he quickly put down his phone and turned over to hug me, making me tense up immediately.

The night was super quiet, just the sound of the waves outside.

Ethan propped himself up on one hand, the other hand wandering over my body. "I answered all your questions earlier, now it's my turn, right?"

For some reason, I got really nervous, thinking his questions wouldn't be easy.

"Why'd you go back with him? Did he hurt you? How'd you hurt your foot?" He kept firing questions at me.

I could've answered calmly, but those pics made me feel guilty.

I was concerned about the possibility of these photos ever getting to Ethan and whether he would still think I'm innocent.
