Chapter 6

Seeing that the man's hands were getting restless, I forcefully pushed him out the door.

Unexpectedly, the door lock was broken, so I had to use my body to hold the door shut.

My phone only had one bar of battery left, so I quickly called Ethan.

But then I found that I had been blocked and my phone was completely out of battery.

The man outside the door laughed:

"Mrs. Shaw, don't waste your time."

“Ethan was afraid you would bother him and Vanessa, so he just blocked you on all platforms. Let me help you instead, it would be bad if you wet your pants.”

The man lost his patience and pushed the door roughly, causing the IV drip to fall and shatter into pieces.

I screamed for help.

Almost the instant the door opened, the nurse rushed in with the security guards:

"What are you doing? Get out of here right now, or we'll call the police!"

The man's face was grim, and he spat at me.

"Stop pretending to be a virtuous and chaste woman. Ethan has already told us buddies what you're like in bed."

"You ungrateful wretch! No wonder Ethan thinks you're a downer. Last night he'd rather sleep with Vanessa than touch you. I even think it's bad luck to train you!"

The nurse helped me up and asked me with concern if I was alright.

Looking at my hand, which was already swollen and bleeding, tears finally streamed down my face.

The last bit of affection she had for Ethan vanished completely.

When Ethan was discharged from the hospital that evening, he sent a message:

“Vanessa’s place was close to where we ate, so I stayed at her place that night.”

"Meet me at the City Hall Marriage Registration Office at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Several media outlets will be there to interview me about the romantic history of this local entrepreneur. Don't be late."

I didn't go back, but walked straight to the Maybach that had been waiting for me.

...

The following morning, Ethan waited for a full hour.

I wasn't seen at all.

Seeing the puzzled expressions on the faces of the media.

Ethan impatiently took out his phone, intending to call me.

But then I saw me walking out of the city hall marriage registration office.

He rushed over angrily:

"Claire, didn't I remove you from my blacklist last night?"

"Why didn't you tell me you were here a long time ago? You made me wait for nothing! Do you even want to get our marriage certificate anymore?!"

As soon as I finished speaking, Adrian Parker appeared from behind and put his arm around my shoulder.

He looked down at Ethan and sneered:

“Mr. Shaw is joking. My wife certainly wants to register our marriage.”

"It's just that it's not with you."
