The Ex-Wife's Triumph novel Chapter 249

"Are you serious? I was just worried about you! If something terrible happened to you, the Sterling family would be completely screwed," Ethan complained, sounding incredibly wronged. "And now look, I'm the bad guy here."

Kingsley shot him an icy glare. "If you ever dare say another word about her, I'll cut out your tongue."

Ethan immediately flashed an apologetic smile. "Got it! Understood! So we can move past this now, right?"

"No," Kingsley said decisively. "You can leave now."

Ethan froze in place and quickly softened his stance. "Come on, man, what do you want from me? All I did was make a few comments about her."

Kingsley raised his gaze, the chill in his eyes enough to inflict frostbite. "A few comments? Thanks to your comments, I took this beating for nothing."

"She ignored you because she couldn't stand you to begin with! That has nothing to do with me!" Ethan wanted to scream at him—She literally doesn't care about you! You could kill yourself right in front of her, and she probably wouldn't even blink! But catching sight of Kingsley's livid expression, he forced the words back down his throat.

He enjoyed being alive too much to test his luck.

Kingsley hadn't absorbed a single word. He just gritted out, "Get out."

"Fine, fine, I'm leaving!" Ethan stood up to go but couldn't resist throwing in one last piece of unsolicited advice. "Look, I'm going to shoot straight with you. If you're trying to win Lucy's sympathy by playing the victim, you'd better try a different strategy. This one is a dead end! I'm not trying to sabotage you here. I might scam people out of their money, but I don't mess with their lives."

Shane hurried back into the room, his tone urgent. "Mr. Sherwood, the doctor said you still need to stay for further observation."
