Rachel looked at Ethan in disbelief. “How could you be so heartless?”Ethan replied, “I’ve never had any feelings for you. How is that being heartless?”“I’m getting married. You’ll lose me forever.” Rachel refused to give up. Ethan was much more obedient than Stephen, so she did not want to let him go so easily.Ethan slowly sat down on the chair and said calmly, “Neither have I ever had you nor do I care about you. Why would I lose you?”Seeing that force was not working, Rachel lowered her head and tried to use a softer tactic. “Yes, I made a mistake. I know I let you down, and I know that you were wronged, but I know what I’ve done wrong now. Come back to me.”She raised her head, her eyes brimming with tears. “Let’s work together. I can help you take Riveria back. Then, both Riveria and I will be yours.”She thought, ‘If I’m not enough to move Ethan, then surely, Riveria will do the trick. He wants to take Riveria back and get revenge on the Quinns, right?’Ethan smiled. “R
Rachel’s bridesmaids were at a loss. They thought that Ethan wanted to take Rachel away, but it turned out that it was Rachel who wanted him to take her away.More importantly, the man had no intention of doing so! It was all Rachel’s delusion!At that moment, someone checked the time and saw it was almost noon.“Oh no! We need to hurry back. It’s time to pick up the bride!”If the groom came to pick up the bride and found that the bride was not at home but had gone to find another man, what would he think?How would the guests perceive it? If word were to spread, the whole of Riveria would laugh at Rachel and Stephen!They tried to pull Rachel away, but she did not want to go. She squatted on the ground and cried. She wanted to move Ethan. She knew he must have a way to save her, take back Riveria, and save George.As long as Ethan helped, everything would be fine.Unfortunately, Ethan listened to her cries and felt nothing at all. He silently took out his phone and dialed a n
The groomsmen hurriedly got out of the car and arrived at the villa entrance, where they saw Rachel squatting on the ground and crying. Her bridesmaids stood by the side helplessly while another man sat on a lounge chair not far away, sipping tea.The groomsmen instantly understood.That man must have bullied the bride!“Who are you? How dare you make the bride cry?”“How dare you bully Stephen’s woman? Do you have a death wish?”They clenched their fists and strode toward Ethan, wanting to teach him a lesson.“Stop,” Stephen called out to them.The groomsmen stopped and looked at Stephen in shock. Their eyes were filled with confusion. Someone made his wife cry, but he wanted them to stop?Stephen glanced at Ethan but did not say anything. Instead, he walked toward Rachel.Rachel’s bridesmaids trembled, fearing that Stephen would get angry and vent his fury on them. They were truly innocent.“She fled here on her own. We tried to persuade her, but it was useless. She even wa
“Obviously, it's because she's too noisy." Ethan had planned on enjoying the sun, but Rachel had kept sobbing like there was no tomorrow. Stephen shook his head. "That can't be the only reason. You still have feelings for Rachel and could've brought her away. You could've also asked her to help you snatch Riveria away. It was such a good opportunity for you, so why did you call me?" The groomsmen could not believe what Stephen said. His bride had run off to find another man. However, not only was Stephen not angry, but he was helping Ethan think of a plan? He was even encouraging Ethan to run away and take over Riveria? Had Stephen lost his mind? Ethan looked toward Stephen. "Is that all you can think of? After experiencing so many failures, I thought you'd be a little smarter, but it looks like I've overestimated you." Stephen wanted to say something but hesitated. Ethan continued speaking, "Firstly, I don't care about Rachel. Secondly, I'm not the same as you guys. I won'
"Ethan, can you tell me where Snow is? I don't expect her to return, but at least let me apologize to her. Even if you only tell me which city she's in now, it's fine!"Ethan said with a smile, "No."Stephen lowered his head. Although he had expected it, he still felt heartbroken when he heard such direct words from Ethan. Stephen's friends could not bear watching it any longer. How did Stephen become so cowardly? Moreover, now they understood that Ethan had hidden Snow away!Someone stood up and stared at Ethan coldly. "Tell us where Snow is."Stephen panicked and quickly said, "Don't be rash."His friends frowned. "Stephen, what's with you?" "Where's the decisiveness you had before?""He's already walking all over you, so why are you still so polite to him?""There's so many of us here. If we gang up on him, he'll definitely give us whatever answers we want.""That's right. He thinks you're easy to bully because he hasn't gotten a beating yet!"The man who had initiall
Andy turned around and left. Seeing that even Andy, the best fighter among them, was not a match for Ethan, the others no longer said anything else. They could only gaze around nervously, avoiding eye contact with Ethan. Stephen gave Ethan another look, seemingly wanting to say something, but did not say anything in the end. He just left with his friends. On the way back, someone asked in confusion, "Stephen, with your abilities, why not force him to reveal Snow's whereabouts? I don't believe that he can resist the Quinns alone." Once he heard this, countless images flashed across Stephen's mind within a few seconds. He saw Snow's tear-streaked face, Julius lying in his arms covered in blood, and then the faces of Brandon, Shawn, Dennis, Howard, and the South Regent… all laughing. Stephen slowly said, "The Quinns are not invincible."In the past, he thought that with the Quinns’ power and money, anything could be easily solved. However, he experienced several failures, includi
Satisfied, George turned around and left. Under everyone's gazes, the emcee asked them if they would never abandon each other, and they finally exchanged rings. The lights came on again. Clap, clap, clap! Another round of applause sounded. "Congratulations!" "Wishing you a lifetime of happiness together!""Here's to starting a family soon!"Everyone offered their blessings, but the two holding hands felt quite the opposite. Stephen's thoughts were with Snow while Rachel only had contempt for Stephen. They should not be holding hands at all. Guests began stepping forward to present their gifts. The first was a young man, Johnny Evans, one of Stephen's friends and one of the groomsmen. "On behalf of the Evans of Metropolis, I present this crystal sculpture entitled 'Reunion'." One of his attendants brought over a gift box. Once the box was opened, everyone was immediately attracted by the crystal sculpture inside. The crystal sculpture consisted of nine intricately carv
Stephen had already been deceived by the mayor several times. "Hahaha!" The recording ended with Brandon and Shawn's unrestrained laughter, echoing for at least ten seconds before finally stopping. The recording finally ended, and the man took out the gift from the box. It was nothing but a mask, a ridiculous clown mask! Everyone finally understood why Brandon and Shawn were chuckling so loudly. They were mocking Stephen as a clown! "How bold!" Stephen's friend was the first to get angry. He snatched the mask and slammed it to the ground, then stomped it to pieces. Then, he grabbed the man's collar, "Are you here to mock us?" The man trembled in fear as he explained, "I'm just doing my job." Stephen's expression darkened. It was his wedding day, but his enemies sent him a gift. What was with this situation? Moreover, they gifted him a clown mask. This was nothing but public humiliation! Stephen swore in his heart that he must capture Brandon and Shawn. Not only did he h
