Haughed coldly at his shamelessness.

“Ethan, after knowing you for six years, I’ve finally realized today just how thick skinned you are.”
“Caught in bed with another woman, and yet you act as if nothing happened.”
“Do you think I haven’t honored my promises? You know exactly how much I’ve given you over the years!”

This agreement–you’ll sign it whether you want to or not. If not, I’ll so you in court! This hotel belongs to me, and the cameras were installed by me Did you really think you could hide everything? Ridiculous!”
Saying this, I turned and left the room.
I had more important things to do, like signing surgery consent forms for my daughter and staying by her side. I had no time to waste on scum like him.
When I arrived at the new hospital, Ethan’s superior called me..
I declined the call.
Unwilling to give up, he sent me a message apologizing
“I’m sorry. I didn’t know Dr. Yates was paying for the patient’s hospital bills under such circumstances. It’s my fault for not realizing sooner. But thes matters have nothing to do with the hospital. If you pull your investment now, the hospital will collapse”

When I saw my daughter, she was still clutching a toy Ethan had bought her.
Frowning, I yanked it from her hands and tossed it into the trash without hesitation.
After signing all the surgery paperwork, I spent the night by her side.

Turned off my phone and escorted my daughter to the operating room.
“Mommy, I’m scared. ”
“It’s okay, sweetheart. I’ll be over soon, and it won’t hurt. Mommy will be right outside, waiting for you.”
It took a while to calm her down. When the operating light finally turned on my heart clenched tightly.
My phone buzzed several times before I noticed the home security system had triggered an alarm.
Thad already deleted Ethan’s fingerprints and identity from the system, but he had still found a way in.
Unable to leave my daughter. I monitored his actions through the surveillance feed.

Then he sat on the couch, chain–smoking cigarette after cigarette.
When the cigarettes ran out, he lost control and smashed everything in the house, turning our cozy home into a disaster zone.
Timmediately called the police.
Meanwhile, he tried calling me repeatedly and sent countless apology messages.
But they were all blocked by the system.
I had long since blacklisted his number.
