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
Chapter 186: Revenge!!
Ethan stared at Maya, stunned, his eyes wide and mouth slightly agape. He immediately understood what she was implying.Maya had always been a pampered woman. Even after marrying into the powerful and prestigious Huxley family, her pride and temper remained unchecked.She couldn’t bear the idea of Cayden fooling around with celebrities behind her back, even as his wife.Now, she was out for revenge.At this point, Maya felt that Ethan should also take revenge on Clara.After all, she and Ethan used to be husband and wife—what came next between them wouldn’t be all that surprising.But Ethan gently withdrew his hand from hers and shook his head. “No… I won’t do that. Clara might just be facing some emergency—or maybe her phone died.”“She wouldn’t betray me,” he said firmly.Maya’s expression twisted with anger, and she lightly slapped his shoulder with her smooth, fair hand."Why are you being so naïve? She went back to that old flame—do you think he’d help her without wanting anythin
Chapter 185: Her Old Flame
Dressed in a pure white gown, Maya stood at Ethan’s doorstep and threw out biting accusations without hesitation.Ethan dropped the sarcastic "Mrs. Huxley" and addressed her directly, his voice sharp."Maya Reynold! Watch your mouth! I’m letting it slide that you’re yelling at me, but don’t you dare drag my girlfriend into this!"Maya scoffed and snapped back, "Am I wrong? Do you even know who your girlfriend really is? You probably think she’s some perfect, powerful, and noble woman, don’t you?""Let me tell you something—Walport Clara is nothing but a homewrecker! She was a rich old man’s mistress for three whole years. She’s disgusting."Just as Maya was spewing those words, Ethan suddenly grabbed her arm, slapped a hand over her mouth, and yanked her inside the house, slamming the door behind them.He pulled her straight to the living room couch before she finally struggled free."What the hell, Ethan?! Why won’t you let me speak!?" she demanded.Although Maya frowned in annoyance
Chapter 184: Clara's a bitch
After freshening up in the restroom, Clara returned to the private dining room.Now that Cayden had confirmed the nature of her relationship with Gregory, he didn't press further. Instead, he excused himself and stepped out, heading once again to the restroom.Once inside, Cayden took out his phone and dialed Maya's number.“Hey, sweetheart, what are you up to? Have you eaten? You really should’ve joined me for dinner tonight,” he said in a sweet, coaxing tone.But Maya was still livid and hadn’t forgiven him.With a frosty voice, she replied, “I’m not going anywhere with you, especially not just to watch you flirt with another celebrity.”Cayden quickly defended himself, “No, no, babe. I swear I haven’t been in contact with any celebrities, and I promise it won’t happen again.”Maya scoffed coldly. “Do whatever you want. It’s not like I can stop you. I’m hanging up.”“Wait, don’t hang up yet! I have something important to tell you—about your ex-husband’s current girlfriend, Clara Wal
Chapter 183: Knowing of the truth
Cayden could sense that the bond between Gregory and Clara wasn’t as intimate as he had first suspected. Still, he had no real intention of following Arthur’s orders. Lifting his glass, he smiled and addressed Clara, “Clara, I sincerely apologize for how I treated you before. Why didn’t you mention that you were so close to Uncle Gregory? If I’d known, I wouldn’t have dared to mess with you.” He raised the glass. “I’ll drink this as an apology. I hope you can forgive me.” Clara was taken aback. The same Cayden who had always acted high and mighty was now being humble and even asking for her forgiveness. Noticing his hand still wrapped in bandages, Clara said gently, “There’s no need to toast me, especially in your condition.” But despite his injury, Cayden drained the wine in a single gulp—showing his respect for Gregory in the process. After setting his glass down, he couldn’t help but pry further. “Clara, how exactly do you know Uncle Gregory? What’s your relationship?” Clara
