Chapter Eighty."Let's go," Caleb's father said, his voice low and determined.Caleb raised his eyebrows, curiosity piqued. "Go where?" he asked, his eyes locked on his father's."To your so-called in-laws' house," his father replied, a hint of disdain in his voice.Caleb's expression turned confused. "For what?" he asked, his brow furrowed in concern.His father smiled, placing a reassuring hand on Caleb's shoulders. "You don't have to worry, you came to me because you trust me, so let's go," he said, his voice calm and confident.Caleb nodded, trusting his father's judgment. They got into the car, and the driver took them to Maria's house. As they arrived, they could hear the sound of laughter and chatter coming from inside. And Caleb rolled his eyes.Upon entering the house, they saw Maria and her family chatting and laughing together, their faces filled with joy and camaraderie. The atmosphere was lively, but the two men were standing in the doorway.Caleb's father cleared hi

"What is it?" his father asked, his voice laced with concern. Caleb winced as his face twisted in pain, the movement exacerbating his injuries."Come, sit down, son," his father said, his tone softening. Caleb sat down on the couch, relief washing over him as he sank into the cushions.His father called out to the maid, "Bring ice, now." The maid hurried in with an ice pack, and they gently placed it on Caleb's face. He winced again, closing his eyes tightly as the cold seeped into his skin."Sorry," his father mumbled, his voice barely audible. Caleb nodded, his eyes still closed. Deep down, he was aware that it was because he was in this situation that's why he settled with his father. He knew his father well enough to understand that if he weren't injured, his father might not have been so willing to listen to him.The father passed the ice to the maid and sat down beside Caleb, his expression softening. "How's your face?" he asked, genuine concern etched on his face."It's g

"Caleb is here to see me?" he asked, and she nodded. He frowned, not expecting her to say that. He wondered what Caleb was doing here.He put on his shirt, buttoning it, and then stepped out. That's when he saw Caleb, who stood there seething with anger. When Caleb saw Ethan, he rushed to punch him in the nose, breaking it. Ethan winced in pain."Fuck, what the hell is wrong with you?!" he barked, while Victoria flinched, her hands flying to her mouth. Caleb wanted to punch him again, but Ethan caught his fist, his eyes blazing with fury."Let go of me!" Caleb growled, trying to wrestle his hand free. Ethan's grip was tight, though, and he held firm."You've got some nerve showing up here," Ethan said, his voice cold and menacing. "How dare you punch me?!"Caleb's eyes blazed with anger. "You know exactly why I did that," he spat. "You've been messing with Maria, and I'm not going to let you get away with it."Ethan's expression didn't change, but a hint of amusement danced in his
chapter seventy seven
Chapter seventy seven.As he ate, his mind wandered to Maria, and the impending divorce from Caleb. A sly smile spread across his face as he thought to himself, "Once it happens, I'll give her the best wedding gift ever…”Victoria's curiosity was piqued as she watched Ethan smile to himself. "Why are you smiling?" she asked.Ethan raised an eyebrow, his smile growing wider. "Smiling?" he repeated.Victoria nodded, her eyes locked onto his. "Yes, you seem happy. And don't tell me it's because of me, I'm not that egotistical," she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.Ethan's smile deepened. "Nothing serious, something big is coming," he said, his voice filled with anticipation. "What is it?" she asked, her eyes wide with excitement.But Ethan just chuckled. "You'll know soon enough. Just anticipate it," he said, his smile still plastered on his face.Just as Victoria was about to press him for more information, Maria walked in, and Ethan swiftly changed the subject. "What about
chapter seventy six
Chapter seventy six.Maria's eyes widened in surprise. "I thought this is all I have to do," she said, her voice tinged with uncertainty. Ethan shook his head, his expression firm. "No, you have one more thing to do."Maria nodded, her smile still in place. "Alright, what's that?" she asked, her curiosity piqued. But her smile vanished when Ethan's words cut through the air like a knife. "Divorce Caleb and claim 80% of his remaining assets."Maria's smile faltered as Ethan's words hung in the air. "Divorce Caleb and ask for 80% of whatever property he has left," he repeated, his tone firm.Maria's eyes narrowed, her mind racing with the implications. She wasn't expecting this. "Is that really necessary?" she asked, her voice laced with hesitation. Ethan's expression remained unyielding, and he nodded slowly.“Yes, I need to be sure you don't have feelings for him.”Maria chuckled. "Do I need to scream to you that I don't love him? I only love you," she said, her voice husky with e
chapter seventy five
Chapter seventy five.Victoria blocked Maria's path, her arms crossed. "What are you doing here?" she asked, her tone firm.Maria raised an eyebrow. "Who are you to block my way?" she shot back, her voice laced with attitude.Victoria's gaze flicked to the clock on the wall before returning to Maria. "It's 6:00 am, and you're already in a man's house. That's not exactly something to brag about," she said, her tone dripping with disapproval.Maria's smile was sly as she stepped closer to Victoria. "In case you've forgotten, I'm not in some random man's house. I'm in my fiancé's house," she said, wiggling her fingers to emphasize her point. "And I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.”Victoria's eyes narrowed, her arms still folded across her chest. "Save the theatrics, Maria," she said, her voice firm but controlled. "I don't care about your engagement. What I care about is the fact that you're sneaking around Ethan's house at 6:00 am. Wait till you get married, that's if he even gets
