Ethan roared at me angrily," cut out this malicious act! Quit stalking me. I know you've had a crush on me for a decade, but your pathetic feelings are nothing but an embarrassment. Get me out of your head—just the thought makes me nauseous. Don't try to get my attention by attacking Olivia. You're not even worth one of her eyelashes."
Surprisingly, his cruel words didn't sting. Instead, I felt a sense of release after the suppression.
I had finally let go of him completely, and it was liberating In the past, I didn't even dare to speak to him loudly in my dreams, for fear of ruining my image in his eyes, which made me timid and cautious.
Now, even though he was distorting the truth, I dared to face him calmly.
I could even listen to his roars with a smile, feeling free and unburdened.
I had made great progress and let go of my obsession.
After he finished speaking, I said indifferently,"You're right. I'm not worthy of being compared to her. Since you love her so deeply, I sincerely wish you both a lifetime of happiness. If you ever get married, I'll be there to congratulate you. Ethan, you look quite the knight in shining armor when you're protecting your girl."
I then turned to Olivia and said,"If Ethan truly loves you, you might as well start planning your wedding. And don't forget to send me an invitation."
It was true that I had let go, but it was also true that I didn't dare to openly offend them.
In half a month, there would be a business investment signing contract. Once I got those funds, I could turn against them in a flash.
But I couldn't do that now. I just had to endure it for another half month.
I calmly took Chloe's hand and said to her,"Pour me some wine. I want to drink."
Chloe hurriedly said,"My dear, I'll pour you the wine."
People often reveal their true feelings when drunk. In the past, I didn't dare to drink, but this time I threw caution to the wind and drank freely.
A group of people around were chattering about me.
"Ethan, Lily is going to drink again. She's bound to make a spectacle and gush about her crush on you,"
"Let's make a bet. Ten grand says she can't stop talking about Ethan tonight,"
"Count me in."
Chloe whispered in my ear, scolding me and saying that I shouldn't drink because I would make a fool of myself when drunk.
But she also kept taking care of me. If I showed any sign of doing something wrong, she would definitely stop me.
After drinking a bottle of wine, I suddenly felt light-headed.
The whole world seemed to twist into a different dimension, just like when one eats the hallucinogenic mushrooms.
I smiled and pulled Chloe to dance with me on the dance floor.
Then I grabbed the microphone and sang several bold and heroic songs. I sang"The Song of the Heroic Men"five times in a row.
After singing, I also foolishly wished Ethan and Olivia to have children.
But it was just a passing mention. At the same time, I wished everyone to get married and have children early, eternal love, and happy families.
When it came to Chloe, I suddenly broke down and cried,"Chloe is my best friend. I hope she can live with me forever. Hahaha, I'll give her all my money. I want to live with her. Chloe has been my friend for ten years. Our bond is unbreakable. No more stressing over guys, okay? I'm sorry, Chloe.I'll listen to you from now on. Whenever you tell me to get married, I will. You said you wanted to introduce your brother to me before, and I think it's okay. You're not a guy, which is a bit of a pity, but we'll be family someday. I'll be your awesome sister-in-law!"
