Chapter 19
The curtains in the master bedroom were drawn, but the light inside still shone through.
The lights stayed on all night, and even the birds in the trees were startled by the subtle sounds of intimacy coming from the room.
What was happening inside was obvious.
Af this moment, they should have rushed up to stop Katerina.
But they had no right, no reason.
After all, they were just her nominal brothers, not even on the same household registration. They
might as well be the neighbors‘ sons.
But the man inside the villa–he was her legitimate husband!
The marriage certificate that had been torn up that day had turned into a huge joke.
Tony forced a bitter smile. “So Kate already gave us the answer a long time ago. It’s us who were stubborn, who refused to believe it. We’ve been deceiving ourselves all along!”
Ethan stared at the direction of the master bedroom, silent and unmoving, almost like a statue.

The satisfaction on his face deeply stung the eyes of the three brothers.

“Is that all you’ve got?”
Joshua’s eyes darkened, and he immediately twisted Andrew’s hand, dislocating it without caring about how precious that hand might be..
Ethan grabbed Andrew and whispered, “Don’t act rashly.”
Then he turned his face coldly, trying to remain calm as he said:
