Chapter 107
She pushed through the crowd and stood right in front of Craig
“Kylie…” Ethan was a bit worried when he saw Kylie.
“Why is Kylie here? Ethan wondered.
Glancing at the classmates watching. he understood it was Craig who had asked them to inform Kylie. Seeing Craig’s shamelessness firsthand, Ethan realized even more that over the years, Kylie had been deceived by Craig’s charming words. Thankfully, she didn’t continue any further.
When Craig heard Kylie’s name, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
Finally, she came. He immediately turned around.
“Kylie, you’re finally here. I’ve been waiting for you. I knew you couldn’t bear to leave me, right? Craig perfectly portrayed the expression of a shameless man.
Kylie realized that the reason she had been so deceived in her past life was that Craig was so good at acting.
Back then, she was naive and had never seen the true evil in people.
That was why she was so badly deceived and hurt.
Of course, there were also those so–called blood relatives who seemed more like monsters, completely changing her understanding of human nature.
If it weren’t for her adoptive mother, Ethan, and kind people like Felicia, Norcen, and Xander, her heart might have become completely twisted.
“Craig, I know you’re shameless, but I never thought you’d stoop this low.” Kylie walked over and stood with Ethan.
Craig’s face twisted slightly. He spoke with deep emotion, Kylie, I don’t get it. Is it really because you think I’m poor? Are you not willing to face hardships with me? They all say you’re being kept by someone who can give you immense wealth. but he can’t give you love or marriage.”
He wasn’t stupid. He knew better than to mention Trevor’s name.
If he did and it caused trouble, he wouldn’t be able to handle the consequences.
He didn’t believe Trevor would marry Kylie. Kylie’s background simply couldn’t match Trevor’s status.
“Is Kylie being kept by someone?”
“Why is Craig even trying to win her back, then? Has he lost his mind or something?”
“Well, Kylie is good–looking, so it’s not surprising she is kept by someone. No wonder she doesn’t want to be with Craig anymore. For us regular folks making a few thousand a month, paying the rent leaves us with almost nothing. Honestly, I’d love to find a rich lady to keep me.”
“Girls these days are just too practical. I used to think Kylie was like that, but now I see women are all the same. They don’t want to go through hard times together.”
“Are there no good girls left anymore?”
Hearing them badmouth Kylie, Ethan rolled up his sleeves, his eyes blazing. “Say that one more time. I dare you.”

Mon,
Chapter 107
“People talk trash because they’re lacking themselves. They are just trying to feel better by putting others down. Ethan, they’re not worth your words pr your actions.” Kylie’s voice was cold.
She didn’t show any sign of panic.
With a look filled with sarcasm, she glared at Craig. “You slept with Melanie and went shopping everywhere. Do you really think the edited photos could fool you or even fool me? Now you’re accusing me of being a kept woman just to make yourself feel better? You’re so despicable and shameless. If you dare spread rumors again, I’ll have you thrown in jail and sue you until you’re bankrupt, got it?
“Ethan, help me record a video. If anyone here dares to spread rumors today, capture them. I’ll sue every single one of them so they can all experience being sued and having to pay
Ethan didn’t take out his phone but pointed to the nearby security camera. “Everything that just happened is recorded on high–definition cameras. You can hear everything crystal clear.”
Kylie had really grown up, but seeing it made his heart ache.
Craig looked at Kylie in shock. “Y–You’re serious?”
He wondered, ‘Is what Melanie told me really true
Kylie doesn’t look like she is being kept.
Yesterday she hit me, and now she is planning to sue me. Looking at Kylie in front of me, I feel like she is a total stranger. The previous Kylie would trust me completely no matter what I said.
I had the confidence that even if Kylie caught me in bed with Melanie, I could convince her with just a few words. But now…
Your pestering after a breakup isn’t after me. You’re after my money, aren’t you? Just keep that intention to yourself. Consider the money you tricked out of me before as my gift. If you’re trying to swindle me again, I’m going to make sure you end up in jail” Kylie’s voice remained cold.
The classmates who had come to assist Craig were already frightened by the mention of being sued and being recorded on surveillance.
They discreetly slipped away without saying a word, leaving no trace.
The other bystanders felt awkward under Ethan’s cold stare and chose to leave too.
Within minutes, Craig found himself completely alone.
Craig was racked with regret. “Kylie, trust me. I’ll treat you well from now on. I promise I won’t break your heart again. It’s unreasonable not to give me a single chance.
He just couldn’t understand how she could be so completely indifferent.
Ethan pulled out his phone and said coldly, “If you say one more word, I’ll call the police right now.”
“Ethan, go ahead and call the police. He was pestering me yesterday, and now he’s bothering you. Who knows what he’ll do next? He definitely needs a lesson from the police, Kylie said with a half–smile aimed at Craig, though her words were meant for Ethan.
Craig’s face drained of color as his demeanor grew gloomier. “Kylie, are you sure you won’t regret this?”
“Regres, my ass” Ethan cursed in anger.
Ethan thought, “Who on earth gave Craig the nerve to act like such a shameless idiot?

Kylie merely smirked without saying a word.
Craig clenched his back teeth, saying, “There are too many misunderstandings between us right now. My mom is having surgery in the next couple of days. After the surgery, we need to find a chance to talk things through. I don’t want any more. misunderstandings between us. If I’ve caused you any trouble today, it’s my fault. I’ll treat you to dinner later to make up
“No need for dinner or apologies. Just get lost.” Ethan bluntly dismissed him.
Ethan finally understood. Craig can be extremely shameless when he wants and incredibly charming when he uses sweet words. Now, he is so sincere in admitting his mistake. He is such an adaptable person. Using his skills on girls is totally a waste. Isn’t that why he’s a jerk?‘
Ethan told Kylie, “Everything he says is nonsense. Don’t believe it. Every word has a motive, and once he achieves it, he’ll betray you.”
Ethan was a little worried.
“Don’t worry, Ethan. I’m married now. How could I still have feelings for him? He’s not worth it,” Kylie said with a smile.
“That’s good to hear.” Ethan nodded.

In the hotel, Trevor strode in.
With Zach following him, they had just finished their work and returned to the hotel.
They had an early flight to catch back to Jardora the next morning.
“Mr. Walters.” A sickly sweet voice, enough to give anyone goosebumps, came from beside them.
