Chapter 7
I turned to find than Gray standing next to me
He looked at my forehead, sighed helplessly, and guided me into his car before going to a nearby pharmacy to buy lodine and bandages.
While Ethan was treating my wound. Tyler called again ||
“Aren’t you poing to answer?” he asked
I shook my head and smiled bitterly
“What’s the point? So, can he lie to me again? I’m exhausted. Besides, tonight.. he’s probably busy taking care of Olivia and their baby.“]
Ithan said nothing more and quietly treated my wound|
1 had first met Ethan at the escape room that day. He was also a friend of Tylers.
While others gathered around the monitor to watch the scene, he sat quiedy on the sofa, not joining them in mocking me
After Tyler and Olivia left, he hadn’t left either but approached me, looking with disgust at Olivia’s lace underwear and money on the floor
“Don’t stand wear that filth. He doesn’t deserve you. [
I asked Ethan if he had recognized me that day.
Ethan just smiled and said:
“I dropped Tyler off at home a few times and saw you from a distance.” 0
See? He had only seen me a few times but could recognize me. Yet Tyler and I had been together for five years, and he couldn’t recognize me.
I exchanged the check for cash with Ethan’s help, taking only the portion I had given Tyler over the five years. Tasked him to return the rest to Tyler.]
- ir. We’d be even
He’d deceived me for five years. Taking back my own money seemed fair.
1 bought a plane ticket leaving that night, and Ethan drove me in the airport.
Before leaving, he asked-]
“You’re not taking anything with you?”
I looked around our tiny, rented apartment where we’d lived for five years. Every held memories of Tyler and me ||
“No, it’s better to make a clean break“]
Tyler’s calls
Is and messages flooded in like a tide, but I didn’t look at them. Instead, I blocked him on all platforms and headed straight for the airport.[]
Meanwhile, at the Hayes mansion, Tyler impatiently listened to the private doctor’s report
Olivia was fine. Of course, she wasn’t pregnant either–her missed period was
just due
due to hormonal imbalance ||
After the doctor left, Tyler t
tried to message me again, only to discover I had blocked him on all social media apps. His calls went straight to busy tones.
Tyler’s face darkened. He thought about my final message over and over again and couldn’t understand how I knew about the engagement.]]
Finally, his patience snapped, and then he stood to leave
But just as he reached the door, Ethan blocked his path
see you anymore.“[]
Don’t bother looking for Emma Star. She left the dry and doesn’t want to see
Tyler frowned
“What do you miran? How would I not know if my girlfriend left? What gives you the right to say she doesn’t want to see me?”
Ethan shrugged
Of course I know, because it was I who drove her to the airport. While you were busy accompanying your princess, she was already pour
Tyler Hayes, you don’t deserve Emma Star.“[]
Tyler angrily retorted
me are you talking
Emma is my woman. How dare you send her away without my permission?r”||
Ethan laughed coldly and threw a suitcase at his teet ||
The suitcase wasit properly closed,
of money spilled
puite greedy.
“Your woman? Emma Mar is your woman, and livia Parker is also your woman? Tyler, you’re quite
“Why do you think Emma wouldn’t leave you? She’s a people, not some object for you to possess People have feelings and get hurt. The very moment you Olivia’s underwear, that dirty money, and that theck right in her face, the ceased to be your wodnant How could you be so blind and cruet?!““]
“Emmy asked me to tell you that you deceived her for five years. She’s only taking back her own money, From now on, you owe each other nothing and need. never meet again.-||
Tyler stared is disbelief, realizing that the NPC in the escape room that day had been me
“That’s Emma..~||
Tyler murmured in a youre so low that he could barely hear it himself||
*So… what happened between me and Olivia…“||
“She saw it all__||
