Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 155 It Was Bound to End

I remember the day I lost my USB drive; Ethan said it was no big deal. But later, he secretly took apart the sink to look for it. That made me even more curious about what was on that USB drive.

"Did Ethan find it?" I asked Oliver, staring at him.

Oliver snorted, lifting one corner of his mouth in a defiant smirk. "Why don't you ask him?"

He glanced at me sideways, his drunken eyes filled with intense hostility.

"Think you can see through him? I've been his friend for years, and I still can't figure him out."

As he finished speaking, Oliver's hand rose and fell, smashing the beer bottle on the coffee table.

The beer bottle shattered with a loud explosion-like sound.

Shards of glass mixed with beer foam flew towards me. But a broad chest wrapped around me, shielding me from everything.

I looked up and, for a moment, felt like I was dreaming when I saw the familiar handsome face.

Wasn't he supposed to be at the party?

Ethan had already let go of me, stood up straight, and gently brushed the glass shards off his clothes.

"Are you crazy?" His calm voice carried no emotion. After cleaning his clothes, he pulled me up from the sofa. "Let's go."

I hadn't even taken a step when Oliver kicked the coffee table. "Explain yourself before you leave."

He had placed the drunken Bella on the sofa and stood up, looking at Ethan with a challenging gaze as if ready to confront him. Sensing the tension, I anxiously looked at them. "What's going on with you two?"

As soon as I asked, Oliver swung his fist.

Ethan sidestepped to avoid it, but Oliver immediately threw a second punch.

Ethan caught his fist, suppressing his anger. "Are you drunk?"

"I am."

Oliver kicked, hitting Ethan's knee.

Ethan, now furious, threw Oliver onto the sofa.

Lying on the sofa, Oliver pointed at the ceiling and shouted, "Tell me the truth, were you involved in framing me? Were you?"

I was shocked and looked at Ethan.

Ethan stared at him calmly. "No."

"Then how do you explain being at the scene? Even if it wasn't you, you watched me get drunk and taken away without stopping it. Is that what a good dude does?"

I was terrified, unable to believe what I was hearing.

Ethan didn't explain, remaining composed.

Oliver got up again and grabbed Ethan by the collar.

"I watched that surveillance footage dozens of times, wishing I was blind. I must have been blind to consider you a friend, you son of a bitch!"
