Chapter 285 An Explanation

The two of them turned to look at the sound at the same time.

They saw Amelia ignoring her injured ankle, rushing down the stairs step by step.

Her eyes, once gentle as water, now burned with fury.

She charged straight up to Ethan, her breathing still uneven from moving too fast.

“Ethan!” Amelia lifted her chin and glared at him, righteous and furious. “How can you assume everyone is as filthy–minded as you?!”

Ethan was stunned by her sudden appearance and accusation.

Amelia didn’t pause and pressed on. “Mason telling you to divorce me is him sparing your dignity! He doesn’t want you to lose so badly in front of the media and everyone else!”

The injustice in her chest boiled over.

The next second, she almost blurted out the truth about the divorce agreement, determined to let Ethan know that this was never about whether he wanted a divorce–she had already wanted out long ago.

“Actually, we…”

But just as the words left her mouth, Mason’s large hand suddenly closed around her wrist, gently pulling her back.

“Enough!” Enraged, Ethan pointed at Amelia and shouted, “Amelia, you’re the one at the center of the scandal right now! And you two are still trying to gang up on me and force me into a divorce?”

Amelia was so angry at his shameless twisting of the facts that she laughed.

She shook off Mason’s hand, stepped forward, and met Ethan’s flushed face head–on.

“Ethan, you really have the nerve to say something like that.”

She fired back mercilessly. “It’s just a photo of me hugging someone, and you act like the sky is falling, like I’ve committed some unforgivable betrayal against you.”

The mockery in her eyes deepened.

“Then, why don’t you take a good look? The background of that photo–the garden–doesn’t it look familiar to you?

“Wasn’t that the day you dragged me to a business banquet, then stood by while your precious buddy teamed up with Hannah to bully me, and Hannah even slapped me?”
