Five Years Wasted Now They Beg Her Back novel Chapter 122

Jealousy and regret gnawed at his heart like vipers.

With nowhere to vent his fury, it all curdled into resentment for Lilian.

If she hadn't thrown that insane tantrum at the reception!

How could he have ended up in this position?!

Ethan slammed his foot on the gas, and the car shot forward like an arrow.

When he returned to the villa, Lilian was sitting on the living room sofa.

She, too, had been “dumped” back home by the bodyguards and was now hugging her knees, trembling.

She looked up at the sound of the door opening.

“Ethan! You’re back!”

She ran toward him, trying to throw her arms around him.

“Ethan, you have to believe me, it was all that bitch Grace…”

Crack!

A sharp slap struck her across the face.

Lilian stumbled from the force of the blow, falling to the ground as one side of her face began to swell and turn red.

She clutched her cheek, staring at Ethan in disbelief.

“You… you hit me?”

Ethan looked down at her, his eyes as cold and lifeless as if he were staring at a piece of trash.

“Hit you?”

He sneered and kicked her squarely in the chest.

“I ought to kill you right now, you stupid idiot!”

Once, Grace had been the one imprisoned in this villa.

He had looked at her with the same cruel eyes, inflicting endless pain upon her.

Now, the tables had turned.

It was Lilian’s turn to suffer.

After that night, Ethan’s nightmare had only just begun.

His behavior at the reception had solidified his reputation as a “cheater” among Jarrow City’s high society.

Several business deals he had painstakingly secured were politely canceled, with partners citing a “conflict with corporate image.”

The company’s stock price plummeted, and shareholders were furious.

The stress from work made Ethan’s temper even more volatile.

And Lilian became his sole punching bag.

He locked her in the villa, tormenting her day after day.

After beating Lilian and venting his rage, he would act as if nothing had happened, drive to the Graceline Technologies building, and wait pathetically for Grace, hoping to beg for her forgiveness.

However, Grace couldn’t even be bothered to see him.

With the new company just launched, there were a million things to do. She was so swamped she barely had time for a date with Damien.

And Damien was not happy about that.
