Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 167

Chapter 167 But There's Only One Emily

I couldn't help but grip my phone tightly.

"Ethan is drunk." The woman's voice was soft and seductive, with a hint of smugness.

If I had any doubts before, now I was sure it was Faye.

I felt a lump in my throat, unable to speak.

She kept going. "Ethan, Emily is calling. Wake up, Ethan. Oh, Ethan, not again. I can't take this anymore. Come on, Emily's on the line..."

I hung up, my eyes stinging with tears.

He promised me he wouldn't drink, but he got drunk. When people are drunk, they lose their rationality.

Just like Oliver. He loved Bella so much, but when he was drunk, he made an irreparable mistake.

When Ethan was drunk and saw Fiona's face, would he still be rational? After all, she was the woman he truly liked.

Faye's coquettish voice echoed in my mind like a curse.

Imagining their current entanglement, imagining Ethan forcefully making love to another woman, my fingers gripped the corner of the sofa tightly, my heart shattering into pieces. God knew how carefully I had been maintaining this marriage and how much I wanted to have a good life with Ethan. Why did this have to happen?

I can't follow in Oliver and Bella's footsteps. I couldn't let a drunken mistake ruin my marriage.

But what should I do? I was completely panicked.

Just then, I heard the sound of an engine outside, and lights shone through the living room's floor-to-ceiling windows.

In no time, Ethan appeared at the door.

He changed his shoes and walked in, looking at me. "Why aren't you asleep yet? Not watching TV either?"

He came back so quickly, making the whole situation seem very strange.

I forced myself to calmly observe him.

He wasn't drunk, nor was his clothing disheveled.

I looked up at him and asked, "Did the family dinner just end?"

Ethan sat down on the sofa, rubbing his temples tiredly.

"It ended a while ago. Faye's agent called me, saying Faye was in a bad mood and had been crying. So I went to check on her."

He admitted going to Faye's place very frankly, which surprised me.

Connecting the dots, I suddenly understood that it was just a play directed and acted by Faye.
