Chapter 7
Ethan’s eyes lit up, his expectations soaring to their peak.[]
He then heard me continue. “The farther away, the better. This place holds too many bad memories for me. I don’t like the things here, or the people!“]
After hearing this, Ethan lost his footing and fell heavily to the ground.[]
“Serena, I’m sorry. I failed you.“[]
I was utterly indifferent.]]
Yes, those words just now, I had said them for Ethan to hear on purpose.]]
How did he have the nerve, after doing so many things to hurt me, to come to me with such an apologetic and eager–to–compensate attitude?]
How did he have the nerve to think I would stay?
In my past life, I was an orphan for my entire life. Wanting to change my fate, wanting wealth, I had no choice but to rely on him, and later spent the rest of my life slaving away for the Martinez Corporation.]]
Now, my biological parents have found me, and behind them is a company that could crush the Martinez Corporation.
I could finally return to the true path of my own destiny.
I turned my head, showing a weak and weary expression, and casually lifted my injured left arm.[]
“Dad, Mom, I think my arm was just injured a second time by Ethan. It hurts terribly now. Can you take me to the hospital first?“1
My mom was instantly flustered. “Let’s go, to the hospital right now.“]
“Serena, why didn’t you say so earlier? It’s Daddy’s fault for being so careless. As soon as we get home, we’ll find you a personal nutritionist and a private doctor.” My dad said, taking my arm and rattling off many of his plans and arrangements.]
As I listened, my empty heart gradually began to fill.
It turns out that being loved unconditionally is a truly wonderful feeling
So much so that it wasn’t until I got in the car that I realized Ethan had been following me from a distance for a long time!
My dad’s lawyer was very professional and authoritative. The lawwer presented a pile of evidence and demanded an explanation from the Martinez and Vivian!]
Mrs. Martinez was dunfounded “Vivian, how could you do such a thing? if it weren’t for Serens, we wouldn’t have adopted you in the first place!“]}
Mr. idartinez wore a stern expression de adjusted his glasses with bus ungers and stor a cold glance at Vivian, who trembled and tried to shrink into herself
Chapter 7
“Vivian, do you have nothing to say for yourself?“]
“Mom, Dad, I was wrong! I really know I was wrong! Please give me another chance!“]]
Vivian didn’t know that this was the last chance Mr. Martinez would give her.[]
Clearly, she missed it.[]
Mr. Martinez apologized to the lawyer and my dad, promising to provide a satisfactory explanation.[]
The next day, Vivian was sent back to the orphanage.[]
That’s right, her adoptive family had revoked her adoption.[]
In that moment, Vivian completely lost her mind.]]
She couldn’t believe that she, who had had everything go her way after being adopted, who had been held in the palm of the Martinez‘ hands, would one day be abandoned by them.]
Vivian had forgotten that love, once given, can also be taken back.
As she was being led to the car by the Martinez‘ butler, Vivian saw Ethan in front of the third–floor window.
She gritted her teeth and ran out of the car, crying.
Vivian tried to go upstairs but was firmly blocked.]
Helpless, she cried out, “Ethan, if you don’t want me either, then I would rather die!”
As she spoke, she ran headfirst into the wall.]
Her forehead split open, and bright red blood trickled down her pretty, fair face.[]
Ethan saw this and hurried downstairs.]
