Chapter 23
Vivian let out a muffled whimper. In the dim light, she saw one of the men unbuckling his pants.She struggled frantically in terror, but her limbs were pinned down. She could only twist uselessly.Just as despair set in, she heard Shelly’s voice: “Stop right there! You bastards—do you want to go to hell?”The sound of hurried footsteps gave Vivian hope.Assistant Shelly and several bodyguards had arrived just in time on that street.After Vivian left the dance hall, Shelly and the bodyguards had been searching everywhere for her. Unfortunately, the phone’s location app only gave a general direction, not exact coordinates.If Vivian had not cried out, Shelly would not have found her.The bodyguards rushed forward and pulled the street thugs off Vivian.Heavy fists landed on the thugs’ faces and bodies, making them howl in pain.Vivian stood up and straightened her clothes. It had been dangerous, but thanks to Shelly’s timely arrival, Vivian had not been harmed.However, her underwear

When the call connected, Vivian did not hear Ethan’s gentle words—only a barrage of cold reproaches.“Vivian, what does your loneliness and disappointment have to do with me? I didn’t ask you to go to a dance hall, nor did I tell you to fool around with other men. And you, kissing another man in a dance hall, have the audacity to mention the word ‘wife’ to me? You shameless woman—I will not see you. Our relationship is over!”Vivian was stunned. Ethan’s tone was cold and angry, with none of the expected gentleness. How had he become so ruthless?She tried to speak but realized Ethan had already hung up.Vivian screamed in fury and tried to call him again. But the phone only gave a prompt that Ethan had powered off.Vivian stood up angrily and kicked over a trash can by the roadside.In the early‑morning street, the can rolled on the ground, spilling rubbish everywhere. The smell was awful. Vivian covered her nose and walked toward a secluded corner.She planned to call Shelly there an

Ethan frowned but said nothing, and Vivian already stated her request.In a pleading tone, Vivian said, “Ethan, please come over. I want to see you. I won’t take much of your time. Just drive me home. Don’t worry, I’ve already sent Jack away. Tonight, it’s just you and me.”Vivian was not lying to Ethan; she really had sent Jack home.Her indulgence had only been to get Ethan’s attention. But her plan had failed.Ethan had not gotten angry, nor had he rushed to the dance hall in a rage. That left Vivian feeling extremely lost.She had no desire to continue her debauchery. She left the dance hall, drove alone to a deserted street, and stopped.Once the surroundings quieted down, Vivian thought about her past with Ethan.In the past, whenever Vivian called, Ethan would drop everything and rush to her side as fast as possible. He would obey her every command and listen earnestly to her every word.But now, that man was gone.Vivian held her phone and kept calling Ethan. She dialed repeat

Ethan wanted to refuse, but as a man, Annie’s words unsettled him.Annie was a sweet‑faced, sexy‑bodied girl.She owned an apartment building, with most rooms rented out. The substantial rent was enough to cover property taxes and accumulate wealth steadily.She was young, warm, beautiful, and pure. If he became her first man, she would remember him forever—just as Vivian could never forget Jack…Seeing Ethan silent, Annie gave him a kiss on the cheek. “Alright, silence means consent. This apartment has two bedrooms. I’ll take the other one. If I’m in the mood, you’ll have to join me for passionate nights. As compensation, all utilities and rent for this apartment are free.”Annie walked toward the bedroom. Before closing the door, she gave Ethan a sweet smile. “The door isn’t locked. If you want to find romance, feel free to come to me anytime. Good night, darling.”Ethan stared at the closed door, his mind in turmoil. He sat down slowly on the living room sofa and tried to sort thro

Unable to bear it any longer, Ethan punched the vagrant in the nose.The vagrant cried out in pain and clutched his bleeding nose. He tried to fight back but clearly underestimated Ethan’s strength.Though Ethan did not like violence, he was strong and skilled in combat. He had a physique as robust as a boxer’s and, as a doctor, knew the structural weaknesses of the human body very well.If not for his considerable strength, Ethan would not have survived the attacks of a gang of thugs.The vagrant lasted only three seconds before he was on the ground, unable to get up. As for the knife, Ethan took it and casually tossed it into the trash can.Ethan said coldly, “Get lost! If I see you harassing women again, I’ll break both your legs!”The vagrant scrambled up in terror and fled into the distant darkness.Ethan turned around and was surprised to find that the girl named Annie was in his room, curiously looking around as if inspecting his apartment.Ethan returned to the apartment and s

Vivian was right.Half an hour later, Ethan indeed received a message from Caster. “Hey, Ethan, isn’t this your wife? I remember her as a very proud woman and very rich. I never imagined she could be this sexy. But the man kissing her doesn’t seem to be you.”Caster sent the message with a mocking tone. “Ethan, your wife is really a slut, holding another man, wiggling like a whore. I feel sorry for you!”Ethan watched the video. Vivian, in a super‑short skirt, was hugging Jack tightly, the two kissing passionately in public. He also saw Jack caressing Vivian’s buttocks.Though he had given up on this love, seeing this still made him a little uncomfortable.Facing Caster’s mockery, Ethan replied coldly, “Caster, Vivian and I are over. It’s her freedom to be with other men. I have no right to interfere. Goodbye.”After putting down the phone, Ethan, who did not smoke, made himself a cup of bitter coffee, opened the door, and stepped onto the terrace to get some fresh air.The area aroun
