Throughout the entire time, Zack didn’t spare Ethan a single glance.
This Zack was quite the actor.
He clearly cared deeply about Ethan’s presence, yet he pretended to be completely indifferent.
But I didn’t intend to expose him.
I shook my head, “I’m fine.”
Ethan was stunned when he saw Zack.
Because Zack looked so much like his father.
At that moment, a thought flashed through Ethan’s mind – could this Zack be a stand–in?
Thinking this, his face showed a mix of smugness and mockery.
“Stella, you’re really something.”
“You say you don’t like me, but behind my back, you find someone who looks like me to make me jealous?”
“You just can’t let go of me, can you?”
These words made me frown.
Huh?
Huh?
I really couldn’t understand Ethan’s thought process.
I originally thought he would associate Zack with his father’s illegitimate son.
I didn’t expect Ethan to come up with such nonsense.
“Ethan Guthrie, you really think too highly of yourself. Do you even hear what you’re saying?”

Just as I finished speaking, my phone buzzed with a message notification.
I looked down to see a message from Anna: “Hmph, don’t think you’ve won. Now that I’m gone, my darling will only hate you more and be even more obsessed with me.”
Meanwhile, Zack teased his half–brother Ethan.
“Sir, have you been watching too many soap operas?”
But Ethan wasn’t annoyed.
Before he left, he gave me a meaningful look.
As if to say, “See? Woman, you just can’t get over me.”
Ethan’s look sent chills down my spine.
Who could understand? I’d encountered a real douchebag.
A few days later, the runaway “wife” Anna was found.
I heard that day, the “CEO” Ethan had the plane stopped and publicly declared his love for Anna over the airport broadcast.
This act went viral online.
Netizens were loving the drama.
“Wow, is this what rich people’s love stories are like?”
“She runs, he chases. They’re destined for each other. Romance novels don’t lie.”
“That Anna girl is so lucky.”
Looking at the video leaked from the airport, I almost started shipping them.
Of course, I would have shipped them more if I hadn’t seen the messages Ethan sent me.
While playing out his wife–chasing drama, Ethan didn’t forget to message me.
“How about that? You must be very unhappy now, right? Good, you should be.”
“If you were as obedient as before, I’d still be willing to marry you.”
I replied with an eye roll: “No need.”
“Keep pretending,” he said smugly.
Holding back my disgust, I replied, “I’m not pretending.”
To my surprise, he sent a voice message.
“Come on, I know you. You just can’t stand Anna, right?”
“But Anna is such a good girl. She’s devoted to me, staying with me without any status. I can’t possibly abandon her for you…”

Brother, I really wasn’t pretending.
I couldn’t take it anymore, so I sent him the video I had secretly recorded.

Of course, I cut off the beginning and end, not revealing too much information in the video.
I only showed him the clip of Anna passionately kissing Zack.
After the video appeared, Ethan went quiet.
I waited for a long time but didn’t see any new messages from him.
I was satisfied.
It seemed this incident had hit him hard.
Sure enough, the next day, paparazzi caught footage of Anna being kicked out of the Guthrie house.
This confused all the netizens.
There was another round of heated discussion online.
“What’s going on? Didn’t he just chase after her? How did it turn out like this in just one day?”
“Could there be more to the story?”
“Wait, wasn’t the Guthrie heir engaged? His fiancée was Miss Moore, not Anna, right?”
“Above poster, don’t rich people all play around separately?”
