Monica's bluntness left Faye and Lucy chuckling in the next room. They had heard that Ethan's wife was a formidable woman, but she exceeded all their expectations. Her presence was dominating and Faye was thoroughly impressed. Feeling humiliated, Ethan's expression darkened and he shoved Monica away. "Monica, are you even a lady? What happened to your manners? Listen to what you're saying."Monica crossed her arms. "Why don't you look at what you're doing first? Ethan, do you take me for someone you can bully?""Don't think I'm afraid of you," Ethan said as he glared at Monica. "This is just a political marriage and we weren't supposed to interfere with each other's private lives. Who are you to control me?""Just because we can have our own lives, doesn't mean I should tolerate being cheated on. Do you think that just because we aren't in love, you can have your fun outside? Does that mean I can have a lover as well?"Her words enraged him. "I'm sure you've been dying to
"Nonsense, Tracy," Ethan said as he turned his head. Glancing at Tracy, who looked frail and helpless, his gaze softened."You're my woman. How could I let you endure harm?"Monica clapped her hands and laughed. "Here I thought no one else could make you show such an affectionate look other than that woman from back then. How surprising ..." She took a deep breath. "Since you love her so much, why not sign this agreement? What's wrong? Are you scared? Haven't you always wanted to get rid of me?" A vicious scowl formed on Ethan's face. "A malicious woman like you doesn't deserve my love."Monica shrugged. "Why are you hesitating then?"In fact, Monica knew exactly why Ethan was hesitant.The Garcia family was facing tremendous turmoil.Due to the failure of the cruise banquet, the Garcia family's clever scheme backfired and they had offended many influential figures. The Garcia family was now a target of scorn and faced unprecedented losses in the past few days. If thi
Tracy was just caught in bed with Ethan. The chaos at home deepened her frustration and upon hearing what Clark said, her face twisted with anger. "Uncle, where did you hear that from? Mr. Garcia? I'm single right now."Had the event not taken place earlier, she would have shown off how much Ethan cared about her. However, she was just in a confrontation with Monica and didn't know what would happen next. She had witnessed how cruel the elite community could be. Ethan married Monica for his own gain and with the Garcia family in trouble, he wouldn't possibly agree to divorce her. As Monica said, she had no reason to keep Ethan around if the divorce would only lead to the Garcia family's downfall. Tracy wasn't in love with Ethan, but with his power and assets. Without those, he meant nothing to her. Tracy gritted her teeth. Initially, she thought that she'd secure a luxurious life once she won Ethan over. Even if she was kept as a mistress, she wouldn't have to worr
Tracy and Lizzie wanted to turn their attention toward Faye. After all, Faye was living the best life while they were suffering. To their bewilderment, Eleanor and the others seemed to have transformed into completely different people. Not only did they not want to bother Faye, but they were also accusing Tracy and Clint instead. What was happening?In recent times, Clint and Lizzie had been so annoyed by Eleanor that they rarely answered her calls. Hence, they didn't know what Faye and Cedric did in Jeorgia. When Eleanor called last time, she only mentioned that Faye had sent them to the police station. However, considering their personalities, it seemed normal for the trio to get sent to the station. Clint desperately wanted to get rid of his mother and brother, so he didn't enquire further. Facing such an unexpected confrontation, Clint, Lizzie, and Tracy were stunned. "W-What do you mean?" Tracy shouted, her expression malicious. Did they change their ways? That
Faye learned about the Brown family being taken to the police station the following morning. Just as she got up, she received a call from the police station informing her that her relatives had been detained due to a brawl. She was urged to head over to mediate the fight. Faye smiled. "I'm sorry, but they are not my relatives. Please handle it according to the law." After hanging up, she looked at Cedric, who was waiting for breakfast. She hugged him from behind and said with a smile, "Guess what interesting scene I witnessed last night?"Cedric turned his head to study the triumphant look on her face. He smiled. "Why don't you tell me?""Ethan and Tracy were caught in bed together. Didn't you know?""I knew." He pinched her face. "I was the one who asked Monica to go over."Faye rolled her eyes and pouted, losing her interest in the matter. "Why are you asking me if you already knew everything?""You saw it with your own eyes, and I'm just guessing. I prefer to hear it from
"You look alright. Who would have thought you are the kind of man who would cheat on your wife?" Eleanor didn't mince her words and immediately kept her distance. Mandy smiled. "Tracy, look at what you've done to your boyfriend.""She stole Faye's boyfriend and sent Anthon's family to prison. Now, she's here destroying Mr. Garcia's family. He lost everything because of her. How interesting," Clark chimed in. He still remembered how Tracy insulted him when he tried to ask Ethan for money. He held a grudge. Tracy's expression darkened. She wanted to run, but the reporters had directed their microphones at her. "Miss, why did you choose to be a homewrecker?""Did you know that Mr. Garcia got a divorce because of you?""Do you know how he got to where he is now? It's because of the alliance he formed with the Dalding family through marriage. Without the Dalding family's help, he may have nothing. Will you still love him even if that's the case?"These questions were confrontati
Ethan sent the photos and returned to his apartment to wait while drinking. Due to the interview that took place at noon, Ethan's divorce stirred up a storm on Facebook. At the moment, he didn't need to pay to obtain attention. After Tracy declared her innocence, everyone considered Ethan a jerk who heartlessly searched for an excuse to divorce Monica. Ethan waited an hour before releasing the photos. Everyone switched from cursing at him to cursing at him and Tracy. This was not what he expected. He gritted his teeth. Just as he contemplated how to deal with this, he received a bunch of photos. Apart from the intimate photos between him and Tracy, there were ones of Tracy with other men as well. There was even proof that Tracy got an abortion when she was still a teenager. Going through everything, he finally realized how wrong he had been. He misjudged Tracy and recklessly divorced Monica. He didn't love Monica and resented her for forcing him to marry her. Howeve
Monica suffered from severe depression ever since she married Ethan. She was a strong-willed woman who refused to show any weakness. Even when she was hurt, she would suffer alone and kept giving, not asking for anything in return. Ethan married her but didn't love her. On top of that, he picked on her at every turn and gave her the cold shoulder. She began to get depressed a year after marrying him. With her friend's help, she started treatment. However, the treatment process was painful. Throughout the three years she was married to Ethan, she endured his humiliation without rest, which made recovering much harder. One day, she went to the beach and came close to getting washed away. It was Brody who saved her. Brody went there to look for inspiration for his paintings. When he saw Monica, he was sitting afar and drawing. This painting won Brody countless awards. Just as he was about to leave, there was a high tide, and Monica came close to getting washed away.
