The CEO’s Regret My Ex-Wife is a Tech Goddess novel Chapter 159

Victoria stumbled back two steps, clutching her reddened arm, not daring to speak. Seeing Ethan radiating such a terrifyingly cold aura, she didn't even dare breathe loudly.

It took Ethan a long time to calm his turbulent emotions before he spoke, his voice as cold as ice: "You are not to tell Lily a single word about what I asked you today. If this leaks out, you know the consequences."

Victoria nodded vigorously, agreeing repeatedly. She lost all interest in waiting for her ordered car and frantically flagged down a passing taxi, throwing herself inside.

Ethan stood rooted to the spot, unable to recover his senses for a long time.

The woman he had given everything to love had been lying to him all along, playing him for a fool.

For someone like that, he had thrown away the person who truly loved him.

The late spring wind carried a chill, stiffening his cheeks.

Fragments of the past surged up uncontrollably—

The day Alaina was ambushed leaving school, he had just watched from a distance, feeling nothing.

Lots of people had crushes on him; he never cared.

Alaina's small frame had been hit by things the girls threw at her, nearly knocking her off her feet several times.

The endless shouts of "shameless" and "get the hell out"...

Thinking back on it now, they turned into blades stabbing into his chest.

Every time he defended Lily, telling Alaina to stop being unreasonable...

Every time he rushed to Lily first, telling Alaina to be good and wait...

Every time he threatened Alaina to stop making a scene or face the consequences...

That time he had acted so merciful, telling Alaina to give up her promotion and go to America with him...

The pain, confusion, disappointment, and deadness in Alaina's eyes every time she looked at him...

Every memory was a slap across his face.
