Chapter 186: Revenge!!
Ethan stared at Maya, stunned, his eyes wide and mouth slightly agape. He immediately understood what she was implying.Maya had always been a pampered woman. Even after marrying into the powerful and prestigious Huxley family, her pride and temper remained unchecked.She couldn’t bear the idea of Cayden fooling around with celebrities behind her back, even as his wife.Now, she was out for revenge.At this point, Maya felt that Ethan should also take revenge on Clara.After all, she and Ethan used to be husband and wife—what came next between them wouldn’t be all that surprising.But Ethan gently withdrew his hand from hers and shook his head. “No… I won’t do that. Clara might just be facing some emergency—or maybe her phone died.”“She wouldn’t betray me,” he said firmly.Maya’s expression twisted with anger, and she lightly slapped his shoulder with her smooth, fair hand."Why are you being so naïve? She went back to that old flame—do you think he’d help her without wanting anythin
Chapter 185: Her Old Flame
Dressed in a pure white gown, Maya stood at Ethan’s doorstep and threw out biting accusations without hesitation.Ethan dropped the sarcastic "Mrs. Huxley" and addressed her directly, his voice sharp."Maya Reynold! Watch your mouth! I’m letting it slide that you’re yelling at me, but don’t you dare drag my girlfriend into this!"Maya scoffed and snapped back, "Am I wrong? Do you even know who your girlfriend really is? You probably think she’s some perfect, powerful, and noble woman, don’t you?""Let me tell you something—Walport Clara is nothing but a homewrecker! She was a rich old man’s mistress for three whole years. She’s disgusting."Just as Maya was spewing those words, Ethan suddenly grabbed her arm, slapped a hand over her mouth, and yanked her inside the house, slamming the door behind them.He pulled her straight to the living room couch before she finally struggled free."What the hell, Ethan?! Why won’t you let me speak!?" she demanded.Although Maya frowned in annoyance
Chapter 184: Clara's a bitch
After freshening up in the restroom, Clara returned to the private dining room.Now that Cayden had confirmed the nature of her relationship with Gregory, he didn't press further. Instead, he excused himself and stepped out, heading once again to the restroom.Once inside, Cayden took out his phone and dialed Maya's number.“Hey, sweetheart, what are you up to? Have you eaten? You really should’ve joined me for dinner tonight,” he said in a sweet, coaxing tone.But Maya was still livid and hadn’t forgiven him.With a frosty voice, she replied, “I’m not going anywhere with you, especially not just to watch you flirt with another celebrity.”Cayden quickly defended himself, “No, no, babe. I swear I haven’t been in contact with any celebrities, and I promise it won’t happen again.”Maya scoffed coldly. “Do whatever you want. It’s not like I can stop you. I’m hanging up.”“Wait, don’t hang up yet! I have something important to tell you—about your ex-husband’s current girlfriend, Clara Wal
Chapter 183: Knowing of the truth
Cayden could sense that the bond between Gregory and Clara wasn’t as intimate as he had first suspected. Still, he had no real intention of following Arthur’s orders. Lifting his glass, he smiled and addressed Clara, “Clara, I sincerely apologize for how I treated you before. Why didn’t you mention that you were so close to Uncle Gregory? If I’d known, I wouldn’t have dared to mess with you.” He raised the glass. “I’ll drink this as an apology. I hope you can forgive me.” Clara was taken aback. The same Cayden who had always acted high and mighty was now being humble and even asking for her forgiveness. Noticing his hand still wrapped in bandages, Clara said gently, “There’s no need to toast me, especially in your condition.” But despite his injury, Cayden drained the wine in a single gulp—showing his respect for Gregory in the process. After setting his glass down, he couldn’t help but pry further. “Clara, how exactly do you know Uncle Gregory? What’s your relationship?” Clara
Chapter 182: Dinning with the Huxleys
At around 6:30 p.m., Ethan returned to Jade Villas, riding a public rental bike. Gregory might have looked down on Ethan for being a courier, but he had no clue that every delivery Ethan made sparked ideas that could potentially revolutionize the courier industry. After just two days on the job and interacting with all kinds of people, Ethan realized that Breezy Express had become the dominant player in the local market primarily due to its reliability, speed, and decent customer service. However, their success came at the cost of charging higher fees than competitors. Ethan believed he could provide the same level of service—if not better—through Perry Express, and at a lower cost. After all, the Sinclair family wasn’t short on money. He also began to see opportunities to expand the courier business model into other areas. Ethan envisioned integrating courier services with food delivery, local advertising, and even offering extra help—like trash disposal, furniture moving, or roa
Chapter 181: betting on a break up
Gregory was a seasoned and insightful man. He fully recognized that Clara was no longer the obedient, impressionable young woman who had once quietly followed his every command during their years together. She had grown into a formidable figure—a stunning and influential executive in Los Angeles, someone who had top-level businessmen at her fingertips over the past seven years. Though Gregory attempted to pressure her into marriage, he knew deep down that the Clara of today was far too independent and strong-willed to be coerced into anything. He was also aware of his age. Now in his fifties, he understood that he could no longer compete physically or emotionally with the younger men who caught Clara’s eye. Instead of risking betrayal or watching her fall into someone else’s arms while married to him, he chose to let her explore love with someone her own age. Clara noticed that Gregory had changed. He had become more restrained, more respectful. Years ago, he would’ve stopped at no
