“Did you come all the way over here just to brag about that?” Owen found it laughable. “You’re desperately chasing after a man I a
a man I dumped. You don’t need to pretend to be his wife here”
“You won’t be the one who stays with him in the end, and neither will L Instead of arguing with me, you’d better focus un playing the role of the pure little angel in front of Ethan,” she mocked
You–Sharon was furious.
Gwen felt her fever worsening after changing clothes in the air–conditioned room earlier.
She couldn’t be bothered to argue with Sharen about who than belonged to. All she wanted was to go home, take some medicine, and get some sleep.
“Gwen” Sharon suddenly grabbed her back. Gwen, already dizzy, stumbled and crashed into the wall. The pain made her arch her body instinctively.
“You want to die! Gwen glared at her.
Don’t think I don’t know you came here to seduce Ethan. What are you pretending for?” Sharon raised her hand as if to slap Gwen, but Gwen quickly grabbed her wrist.
“What are
are you doing?” At that moment, Leah suddenly appeared and yanked Sharon behind her. “Gwen, Mr. Raymond’s woman are not for you to
Gwen smiled coldly at her. Tve already touched Mr. Raymond himself. Should I be afraid of one of his women!”
Sharon, clearly intimidated by Leah, quickly looked aggrieved. Ms. Miller, I just accidentally grabbed her, I didn’t mean anything by it
Leah spoke gently, “I understand. Go find Mr. Raymond. The clothes need to be made to your exact measurements to look good. Don’t waste your time with someone like her. She’s not in your league
sharon’s eyes flickered with triumph, and she hurried off to find Ethan. After all, Ethan was a thousand times more important than Gwen
At least Sharon had that much sense. As long as she had Ethan’s heart, she wouldn’t have to worry about Gwen
Leah watched Sharon’s retreating figure, then sneered and said slowly, “You don’t know, do you? Mr. Raymond treats Sharon far better than he ever treated you
In the beginning, Gwen had been naïve, not understanding men and only knowing how to cheapen herself for Ethan’s attention.
Back then, she was often scolded by Ethan for lacking personality, for being boring, spending entire days waiting for him at Mansion No. 1
All these year, Erhan never once took her out in public, never flaunted her, though he would occasionally send her jewelry, money, and houses on lised holidays.
“Sharon knows how to be content and grateful, unlike you, a greedy vampire, always wanting more no matter how much you’ve been given,” Leah
scoded
Gwen replied emotionlessly, “Who doesn’t want a higher salary when working? If your Mr. Raymond didn’t have money, he shouldn’t keep women.. Don’t tell me you’re so jealous because you can’t get Erbian?“
Leah, hit where it hurt, sneered, “No matter how many tricks you try. Mr. Raymond will never want you agam. People who betray him only have
“Gwen, your time is over. Now, Mansion No. I is about to welcome its new mistress, Leah sad, swaying her hips proudly as she left.
Gwen’s phone buzzed in her pocket. It was Monica, again asking for money.
Forget about the 200 thousand dollars!” Monica said. “I heard the hospital’s been bought. They’re forcing your grandma to be discharges, and now they want GO0 thousand dollars.”
“What? Who bought it? Hat the hospital owned by the Hoffman family Gwen asked, shocked
“I don’t care who owns it. That’s what they’re saying over there.” Monica replied, unconcerned
Gwen felt her mouth dry from the anxiety

“They say it’s the Innovion Group who made the move. Who knows why they want to buy the hospital! The impatient department. Hotify me,” Monica adited.
Hearing “Tupovion Group, Gwen immediately realized it was

d—he was just putting pressure on her.
No wonder Ethan left without doing anything. It was all.
Gwen looked toward the VIP mom, knowing full well Leal wouldn’t let her see
Gwen, it’s time to change,” the manager urged.
Gwen entered the dressing room, thought for a moment, then gritted her teeth and took a photo of herself.
At that moment, Ethan was casually playing with his phone, Sharon, wearing the dress that had been pinned to fit, t timidly stepped o
out Janet exaggerated, “Sharon, you’re an angel!”
Sharon glanced shyly at Ethan, but his gaze was indifferent. His phone buzzed, and he casually opened it,
A picture appeared. The woman in the photo was obscured in sensitive areas, but it was still undeniably provocative.
He knew how strong the temptation her body held for him and how captivating Owen could be
Gwen. Sorry, sent that by
mistake |
Erban narrowed his eyes as he read her message.
Sharon was still waiting for his response when Ethan suddenly stood up. “If you like it, then it’s fine,” he said.
Sharon was stunned. “Ethan, where are you going?”
Lilian didn’t answer. He just walked out, closing the door behind him.
Gwen stared at her plione, seeing that the message had been marked as read. She couldn’t quite figure out what Ethan meant
This dress was even harder to remove than the last one, with all the hooks hidden at the back. She struggled for a long time but couldn’t get it off. The dress got stuck at her waist.
Just as she was about to call a staff member for help, the door suddenly opened from the outside, and Ethan’s tall figure squeezed in, directly lifting
Gwen was pushed roughly in front of the mirror. He skillfully peeled her out of the tight dress, pressing her against the mirror. The cold sensation marie her instinctively shrink back
Ethan was pressed firmly against her body.
“Sending me a message like that, and you say it was a mistake?” he asked sarcastically. “Thiền who were you really trying to send it to?”
In the mirror, Gwen could see Ethan’s mischievous expression behind her. He then bit down on the soft cartilage of her car.
She trembled slightly, biting her lips, trying to endure the discomfort in her body. “It was a mistake,” she said.
His hand, which had been gripping her waist, moved to her chin, holding her still as he coldly scrutinized her uncomfortable expression.
Gwen’s remaining rationality urged her to negotiate with Ethan. “You bought the hospital where my grandmother’s been staying? What do you mean by that?”
Ethan smirked. “Old I didn’t know thut”
Given gripped his mischievous banal, not believing a single word he said. “She can’t stop her treatment. Please, let her go
Ethan looked her up and down. “Of course I can let her go, but why should I?
“Hyou were my woman, helping you would be the right dùng to do,” he continued, his tone dripping with ammsement. “But you’re not anymore, so why would I make such a losing deal?”
tiwen bit her lip. “You just haven’t had enough of me, have you?”
Ethan’s expression darkened, but he didn’t respond. Instead, the voices of Sharon and Leals could be heard
Chapter S
“Where is Lahan going?” Sharon asked anxiously
“He’s definitely not going to find that Gwen,” Janet’s voice replied. “Sharon, you really need to hold onto Mr. Raymond. He’s been so good to you, he must really like you. You’re so lucky. 111 be relying on you from now on.”
Janet, stop talking nonsense, Sharon said.
“Ms. Miller, am 1 wrong” Janet turned to Leah.
Gwen couldn’t believe Eihan. At this moment, he was still undoing her dress
“Stop!” she cried out.
“Who’s there” Leah suddenly started walking toward the dressing room, clearly angry that someone had dared to eavesdrop. Her hand landed on the doorknob, about to push the door open.
