Chapter 192: Envy Maya
George had always been a cunning, calculating businessman—hardened by years of experience in high society. To him, dealing with someone like Ethan should’ve been effortless.What Clara didn’t know was that after she left George, unable to endure the loneliness, he had taken a pretty college student as his mistress.At the time, the young woman had a boyfriend. But George, ever the manipulator, invited the young man out for a private talk.With just a few sharp words, George had the poor guy—who came from an ordinary background—reduced to tears. The boy ended up walking away from the relationship on his own.So, George had assumed Ethan would crack just as easily—buckling under pressure and retreating from Clara’s life.But things weren’t going according to plan at all.Instead, Clara was radiating joy. When she reached the pool with Ethan, she practically lit up with excitement.“Wow! The design is stunning! The water’s the same shade as the sea—it looks amazing, like a visual masterp
Chapter 191: This isn’t how things were supposed to go
Out of nowhere, an ultra-luxurious green yacht appeared on the Huston River!Towering at around 110 meters, the vessel’s sleek, futuristic design looked more like a high-tech spaceship than a traditional yacht—it completely shattered the crowd’s expectations of what a cruise ship could look like.Tourists gathered on both sides of the river were left in awe, eyes wide with disbelief and fascination.“Oh my God! What is that?! Is it a spaceship? A UFO? It looks like something from a sci-fi movie!”“That can’t be real. It has to be a hologram or a mirage—no way a yacht like that actually exists!”“Wait! Isn’t that the world’s first hydrogen-powered yacht—Aqua?”“Aqua? Yeah, I’ve heard of it! That’s the one owned by Bill Gates, right? He supposedly spent nearly a billion dollars building it! Insane!”“Wasn’t it scheduled for launch two years from now? Has it already hit the water? Don’t tell me Bill Gates is the one who booked out the Huston River today!”The crowd went wild. Dozens of p
Chapter 190: George's yacht controversy
“Hello…”But the line was already dead—Gregory had ended the call. Ethan could immediately sense from Clara’s expression that she wasn’t pleased with how the conversation had gone.Gregory was a multibillionaire, and Clara didn’t want him flaunting that wealth and influence in front of Ethan. She knew such a move could make any man feel inadequate.Clara walked into the kitchen just as Ethan was loading the dishes he’d used into the dishwasher. He turned when he noticed her behind him.“Finished with the call?” he asked casually.Clara gave a small nod, though her face clearly showed discontent.“Ethan, Gregory’s a bit particular… He doesn’t think the yacht you arranged is up to standard, so he wants to bring his own instead.”“Would it be alright if we had dinner on his yacht tonight? I was thinking we could bring along some fine wine.”He doesn’t think my yacht is good enough?Is he really worried that what I’ve arranged isn’t fitting for someone with his title—the richest man in Ho
Chapter 189: Worth 80 million yacht
In the villa next to Ethan and Clara’s, Cayden stumbled in, supported by his bodyguard. He was clearly drunk, but his face was lit up with a smug grin.As soon as he entered, he called out, laughing, “Haha! That guy’s been cheated on again!”Maya, who had just used Ethan to spite Cayden during his absence, instantly felt a wave of guilt.“W-What are you talking about?” she asked, trying to stay calm.She had been watching TV in the living room, but upon seeing Cayden return, she quickly turned it off.Cayden plopped down beside her, still chuckling. “I’m talking about Ethan! Poor guy’s been made a cuckold again. His life’s just one big joke. Does he not realize who he is?”He went on, slurring slightly, “He would’ve been better off dating some ordinary girl, but no—he had to go for stunning women like you and Clara Walport. Of course he was going to get cheated on! Who wouldn’t?”“There’s even that saying going around online: broke guys shouldn’t marry beautiful women...”Still laughi
Chapter 188: Treating Clara's ex to a meal
Ethan hadn’t had the chance to look into Gregory’s background yet. But he knew that Gregory had been influential even a decade ago—and now, he had risen to become the wealthiest man in Houston. Clearly, the man was no ordinary figure.It was no surprise that many women would be drawn to someone as accomplished as him.Ethan remarked, “Back when your family was facing its worst crisis ten years ago, he stepped in to help. And now, when you're once again in a desperate situation, he shows up again.”“You probably see him as some kind of hero in your life, don’t you?”Though Ethan was burning with jealousy, he knew he no longer had the right to be angry with Clara.Clara could sense the bitterness in his tone.In a soft voice, she replied, “I am truly thankful for everything he’s done for me over the years.”“If it weren’t for him, I might’ve ended up marrying just anyone, settling for a mediocre job that barely paid a few thousand dollars a month. I’d probably be cramming into the subwa
Chapter 187: The true coming to life!!
Inside the lavish villa’s living room, silence hung heavy in the air. The only sound came from the automatic robot vacuum whirring aimlessly across the floor.Clara’s words confirmed everything Maya had told Ethan—she had indeed met up with her former lover.According to Maya, Clara planned to leave Ethan and reunite with that man, possibly even marry him.Still, Clara wasn’t like Maya. She wasn’t the type to betray someone and then lie about it. If she had truly crossed a line, Ethan knew she would face it head-on and take responsibility—maybe even initiate the breakup herself.Knowing her personality, Ethan figured that was what she was about to do now: admit she’d done wrong, apologize, and walk away from him.He had already rehearsed how he would respond.He’d stay calm, accept her decision without causing a scene.And after the breakup, when Clara no longer had a place beside him, he would one day stand tall in front of the towering Perry Express headquarters and say to her, “Tha
