Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 227 No Longer the Foolish Girl She Once Was

Ethan was about to open the car door when he turned around and gave me a quick, indifferent look. "You can ride with whoever you want."

With that, he got into his own car but didn't start it right away, like he was waiting for me to decide.

It felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over my head. I couldn't tell if it was the cold weather or just the chill in my heart, but I was freezing. I hugged myself tightly.

Faris suddenly got out of his car, took off his coat, and draped it over my shoulders. His hand lingered on my shoulder as he looked into my eyes.

"He's not worth it."

I glanced at the Maybach still parked there, with a long, slender arm resting on the car window. Then I turned and got into Faris's car.

Faris quickly drove away, and in the rearview mirror, the Maybach was still parked in the same spot. The hand on the car window now held a cigarette, and the smoke was quickly blown away by the wind.

"If you feel like you can't stay in Starlight City anymore, go to Seabreeze Harbor or any other city. The Emoire Artistry Group is doing great now. I can go with you wherever you choose." Faris's voice snapped me back to reality.

I looked at the passing street scenes and said softly, "Now that he and I are done, even if we meet again, I wouldn't jump off a bridge and swim across the river to avoid him, right?" Faris laughed at that.

After a while, he said seriously, "You're not the naive girl you used to be."

I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

I seemed to have always been naive, and after meeting Ethan, I became even more so.

I asked Faris to drop me off at the hotel from yesterday, where my car was still parked.

"Are you okay?" Faris asked worriedly as he parked.

I took out my car keys from my bag, glanced at him, and forced a smile.

"Don't worry, I'm not driving under the influence. From last night until now, I might have felt like I had nothing to live for, but for the sake of my kids, I not only have to live, but live well."

"So what are you planning to do next?" he asked.

I took a deep breath, saying, "What do you mean? The Emoire Artistry Group will keep running. I'll find a suitable house in the next couple of days and then move."

"Why not move in with me for now?" Faris suggested again.

I shook my head, saying, "Thanks for the offer, but even though I'm divorced, it's not appropriate, especially since I have two kids with me."

Faris nodded and said with a bitter smile, "If you need any help, give me a call."

I thanked him and got out of the car.
