Suddenly, she changed her attitude, bumped into me, and then fell to the ground with a thud. Soon, a pool of blood seeped out between her legs.
Every time she faced me, she always managed to act so vulnerable at the right moment.
"Lily, why did you harm my child?"
Suddenly, someone grabbed my neck tightly. He seemed to be using all his strength to crush me.
"Lily, if you have any grudges, come at me. Why hurt an innocent girl?"
"I thought you were just playing hard-to-get, but now I see that you're vicious and jealous. From now on, all cooperation between me and your uncle is completely off."
Then Ethan picked Olivia up in his arms, holding her gently as if she were a precious treasure.
Olivia looked at me triumphantly, but she still coquettishly said to Ethan,"Mr. Ethan, will you make it up to me with a wedding?"
"Okay, we'll get the marriage certificate tomorrow. You're the only one for me. No one else is worthy."
Ethan stared at me, thinking he could hurt me with his words.
And I was indeed affected, but it was the cancellation of the cooperation that affected me.
I suddenly pulled Olivia to the ground, then grabbed Ethan's neck, stood on tiptoe, and shouted at him,"Bah! Disgusting thing! You can't just cancel the cooperation that you promised!"
"Ethan, you can't be so despicable and narcissistic. I used to have feelings for you, but now I just find you disgusting. Why do you assume I'm still obsessed with you and would stoop to such low tricks?"
"Who do you think you are? I'm done with you. If you don't believe me..."
I looked around. Chloe was just walking arm-in-arm with her brother, Ryan Davis.
Without hesitation, I marched up to Ryan, stood on my toes, and planted a long, passionate kiss on his lips.
Two minutes later, I let go of Ryan and turned to Ethan,"You're not even as good as a man I just met. To me, you're no more important to me than a random cat or dog I meet on the street. Got it?"
Ethan's face instantly turned pale.
Olivia was also shocked and even forgot that she was bleeding.
The entire room fell into a shocked silence.
It was only later that I realized it wasn't right. I shouldn't have used someone like that.
But to get Ethan off my back, I invited Ryan,"If you don't mind, we can get married and get the marriage certificate tomorrow."
Chloe excitedly hugged our arms, leaving Ethan standing there, stunned.
The Davis family wasn't as powerful as the Rivers Group.
But the Davis family had recently completed two major projects that had nothing to do with the Rivers Group.
If I married Ryan, my uncle's company could form an alliance with the Davis family, which would be no less beneficial than getting investment from the Rivers Group.
The next morning, we got the marriage certificate. I posted pictures of the marriage certificate, diamond rings, our breakfast, and our kisses on social media.
Along with the caption:"From now on, I'm walking towards a happy marriage. The past is buried. Hello, future."
Anyone who could understand the meaning knew that I had drawn a clear line with Ethan.
Ryan was indeed a good man. I had lost interest in men and marriage, and Ryan also wasn't very interested in romantic relationships. We got along well, respecting each other.
After I got married, I heard that Ethan went crazy.
He didn't get the marriage certificate with Olivia right away. Instead, he went home and threw a huge tantrum.
He went on a destructive rampage at his villa,, smashing things and ruining all the antique calligraphy and paintings.
I heard that he drank heavily, like crazy.
He even neglected important business matters of the company.
"When he's drunk, he pulls his friends and tells them that he's lost the person he loves the most."
"He says the woman he loves is married and happy, with no signs of ever looking back. He regrets it, regrets not treating her better, for branding her a mistress."
These were Chloe's exact words to me. I was truly shocked.
But my heart remained calm. Belated affection is as worthless as a patch of weeds. People always crave what they can't have, while taking for granted what's easily within reach.
Back then, he constantly sneered at my humble background.As an adopted orphan, I never measured up to his lofty standards.
He always scoffed at my flattery.
Now that I had completely cut off his thoughts, he went crazy and expressed his love for me.
He regretted it and was looking for me all over the world.
But I had already hidden away in Ryan's villa abroad, living a quiet and leisurely life.
One day, I opened my email to find a flood of messages from Ethan. "I broke up with Olivia.I'm sorry. Please come back."
"I realize now that you've always been the one. I was so blind before, thinking you'd always be there.Now that I've lost you, I regret it so much."
"If I could turn back time, would you give me another chance?"
I shouldn't have called you a mistress. At that time, I thought you'd stay no matter how badly I treated you."
It turned out that unrequited love was so cheap.
A noble turning away was what made one truly precious.
The best way to get back at someone was to make them lose you forever.
What's easily obtainable is often dismissed, while the unattainable becomes an obsession, a "white moonlight" that haunts the heart.
Well, I'd happily remain his unattainable dream. "If he went crazy for the rest of his life, that would serve him right!
Later, Ethan sent his girlfriend back to her hometown, and he started looking for people who resembled me everywhere. His nostalgic behavior had officially begun, and he was doomed to repeat the cycle of unrequited love that I'd endured for a decade.
