Chapter 3 Ethan's Fiancée
1357 Words
To others, she might be a capable boss and a reliable partner. But to me, she was not a qualified mother.
Perhaps it was because I hadn't contacted her for too long, and my mother couldn't save face. After all, she would occasionally bring up her son who got into a prestigious university as a topic at her dinner table, but I had never shown up once.
She started calling me frequently and scolding me for being ungrateful, saying that I wouldn't have such a good future without her. It wasn't until I promised to make time to meet clients with her during the holidays that she was satisfied.
It was also because of this that I, who had never been loved since childhood, easily fell into Vanessa's trap of gentleness.
Seeing my indifferent expression, my mother's expression was a little unnatural. She got up and stuffed a bank card into my hand. "Are you still angry with me after all these years? Didn't I do it all for your good? There are two hundred thousand dollars in here; just take it as a little something from me and buy some clothes."
I waved my hand to signal that it wasn't necessary, but my mother insisted on giving it to me. During the argument, the bank card was accidentally knocked away by my waving hand, and the atmosphere instantly froze.
"Leo!" My mother called my name.
I froze instantly; my thoughts were pulled back to that snowy night. She had also called me like this, pushing me out the door. However, this time, tears were streaming down her face. "I beg you to take it, please! I knew I was wrong!"
Looking at my strong mother's current distressed appearance, I didn't feel the slightest fluctuation in my heart. "If you still have a little affection for me, stay away from me.
Do you think that you can make up for what you did to me all these years by pretending to cry a couple of times here? Impossible! The only thing you can do now is to disappear from my whole life! I don't want to hate you."
I ignored her reaction and walked straight back to my room.
She wouldn't understand that sometimes, the shadow of childhood would cast a lifelong gloom.
She sat in the living room all night and finally left quietly.
None of this was my concern. I turned on the computer and, holding back my nausea, exported the video from the dashcam, and finally edited it and transferred it to a USB drive.
Just as I finished this, I received a message. A stranger requested to add me as a friend.
Who would it be so late? After hesitating for a moment, I accepted.
The other party instantly sent over a folder containing flirtatious chat records between Vanessa and Ethan, and even videos of the two of them making love.
The nausea I had managed to suppress surged up again. The other party immediately revealed its identity:
Hello, I'm Ethan's fiancée. I'm sorry to bother you so late, but I heard that you and Vanessa are getting married soon, so I thought I should still let you know about this.
I silently saved the folder to the USB drive as well, then replied:
Thank you. However, there's one thing I need to confirm. Have you told Ethan about this?
The other party immediately replied: Not yet, why?
I explained: Then please be patient and keep this secret until my wedding day.
The other party was silent for a long time and didn't reply. I didn't care much.
But what I didn't expect was that she would come to me the next day.
Unexpectedly, Ethan's fiancée was much better than Vanessa in terms of both appearance and figure. With her low-key yet luxurious outfit, she must come from an extraordinary background.
"Do you have time to talk?" she asked.
We found a cafe. After sitting down, I got straight to the point. "Miss, what can I do for you?"
Seeing that I was a little defensive, she smiled. "My name is Jessica. Mr. Lyndon, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to cause you trouble. I just want to persuade you. Marriage is not a child's play. I just don't want to see you continue to be obsessed."
I nodded, then prepared to get up and leave. "This is my private matter. Miss Mun, you don't have to worry about me."
"Mr. Lyndon, please wait." Seeing how resolute I was, Jessica took out the recording she had prepared beforehand. The background was the bed in her house where Vanessa and Ethan were sleeping in each other's arms. Ethan asked Vanessa how she felt about me. Vanessa didn't hesitate at all and blurted out the words "no feelings."
Vanessa anxiously tried to express her feelings to Ethan, but Ethan said with satisfaction that he knew everything. He didn't love Jessica either and only pretended to marry her to get her family's resources.
The shameless couple made me sick. Thinking that my ten years of youth had been wasted on such a woman, I couldn't help but feel a little sad. But the people who should repent even more were this pair of illicit lovers!
They had feelings for each other, but for their selfish desires, they dragged the two of us innocent people down with them!
Seeing my eyes were bloodshot, Jessica sighed and comforted me. "Calm down first."
I took a sip of water to calm myself down and looked at Jessica in some surprise. She didn't seem angry at all.
As if knowing what I was thinking, Jessica chuckled softly, but there wasn't a trace of emotion in her eyes. "The reason I came to you this time is to discuss with you how to deal with these two people. No matter what method we use, I want them both to be ruined."
"Do you have any plans?" I asked.
Jessica looked at me. I tapped her phone with my finger. On the screen was the image of the two of them hugging. "In three days, it will be our wedding day."
Jessica pursed her lips and smiled. "It seems you want to expose them on the wedding day?"
I just looked at her without saying anything. The smile on Jessica's lips grew wider. She stood up and said goodbye to me. "Then I'll look forward to it. Don't worry, I'll help you then."
She didn't say how she would help me and turned around to leave.
Soon, three days passed.
During this time, Jessica lied about going on a business trip, so Ethan brazenly took Vanessa to her house. The two of them spent several days together at home, completely unaware of the pinhole camera above their heads.
She sent me these recordings. I felt disgusted, but I still saved them, ready to give to them at the wedding.
I didn't expect that even though the wedding was approaching, they still couldn't resist the temptation to fool around, not afraid of being discovered by me at all.
I clenched my fists. Thinking about the process later, I couldn't help but feel excited.
Seeing that the guests had entered one after another and almost all the seats were filled, I straightened my suit, strode onto the stage quickly, and took the microphone from the wedding officiant. "Hello everyone, I'm Leo, the groom of this wedding."
The surprised gazes of the audience all turned to me as if they had never seen a wedding started by the groom. Vanessa's face gradually turned ugly, and she glared at me fiercely. "Leo, what are you doing? Get down here!"
However, her steps towards me were stopped by the people I had prepared in advance. Seeing this, Vanessa finally realized something was wrong, and her eyes were filled with panic.
Amidst the commotion, I picked up the microphone. "Next, please enjoy the fierce entanglement between Ms. Vanessa Jones and Mr. Ethan Young!"
I swiftly hit the play button on my device—
Their graphic, sickening s*x tape was blasted out for everyone to witness in horror!
