Chapter 4
He completely broke off his friendship with Ethan because of my death.
I didn't know until the last minute.
Half of Ethan's retribution was caused by Liam himself.
The moment Ethan jumped off the rooftop, Liam didn't even blink and watched him die.
Then he turned his wheelchair and came to see me at the grave.
He served me my favorite durian cake, and his voice was incredibly gentle.
"Tanya, I have avenged you. You are always afraid of the cold. Will it be very cold down there?"
"Don't be afraid, I'll be there for you soon."
He slept in front of my grave and cut his wrists until the blood ran out, nourishing the foxtail grass on my grave.
So this time, I'm marrying Liam.
Liam looked at me in disbelief, his eyes reddening, "Are you serious?"
He pushed me against the wall and said, "You still have a chance to regret now. If you delay for even a minute, you won't regret it anymore."
I stared at his handsome lips and chuckled, then without waiting for him to move, I stood on tiptoes and kissed him.
"No regrets."
From that day on, Liam and I became boyfriend and girlfriend.
Liam started preparing for the wedding, and I was also preparing to go home to get my ID card to get the certificate.
But as soon as I entered the house, my father slapped me in the face angrily.
“Tanya, how dare you come back?”
"You brought shame to our Shaw family with what happened at the engagement gala. The news spread all over Seattle that Ethan would rather marry a nightclub hostess than marry you. How can you let me put my old face on this?"
I stood there in a daze, looking at my father calmly.
Although I expected that my dad would find that incident embarrassing.
But I didn't expect such a big reaction.
I was even the one who felt ashamed.
"Dad, Ethan chose the Nightclub host himself. If anyone is embarrassed, it should be him. What does it have to do with me?"
"Besides, I was the one who announced the cancellation of the engagement that day."
My father was so angry that his face turned blue and he raised his hand to slap me again.
"You rebellious girl, you actually dare to talk back!"
I closed my eyes, but the imagined pain did not subside.
I saw it only after I opened my eyes.
Liam grabbed my dad's wrist, his eyes were tough and forbearing, "Tanya did nothing wrong."
I subconsciously turned my head to look at him, and couldn't help but reddening my eyes.
Whether in the last life or this time, Liam is always the one who will protect me without hesitation.
My father has always been a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong. He doesn't dare to offend the Grant family, let alone the Vance family.
Seeing Liam come forward to help me out, he sighed and left in embarrassment.
Liam arrived and parked his car outside.
He was waiting for me to get my ID card and go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, but I didn't come out no matter how long he waited. He was afraid that something might happen to me, so he rushed in, and as expected, he saw me almost get beaten.
"Tanya, your father actually treated you like this. I will definitely protect you from now on and will not let you suffer any injustice."
I smiled and touched his face, "Okay, I believe you."
On the way out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, I happened to run into Vivian holding Ethan's arm, walking out of the mall intimately.
They bought large and small bags of daily necessities.
It seemed to be heading in a familiar direction.
"Ethan had a falling out with his family at the engagement gala and was kicked out."
Liam's voice came from above, "Normally he can't stick to anything for more than a few days, but I didn't expect that this time he would go all the way with his family for Vivian."
I sneered. How could I not be tough?
After all, he has died once. In his previous life, he blamed me for Vivian's death. The more he can't get, the bigger the demon in his heart becomes.
Chapter 5
He finally got this opportunity in his life, how could he give it up easily?
But that's okay.
I'm waiting to see his comeuppance.
I was just about to get in the car and post an official announcement on WeChat Moments when I picked up my phone and the door lock system of the sea view villa that I hadn’t lived in for a long time popped up a reminder.
The display is already turned on.
I frowned and asked the system to turn on monitoring.
When I saw the pictures inside, I couldn’t help but laugh.
"Is this the down-and-out Ethan? He was kicked out of his home and ended up living in my house."
Liam also leaned over to look.
"It's really Ethan."
Ethan and I were childhood sweethearts. After we confirmed our relationship, I gave him a spare key to the villa.
Unexpectedly, he moved in openly with the Nightclub hostess.
From monitoring their conversation, I learned the whole story.
After being kicked out by the Grant family.
Ethan originally wanted to rent a house.
But Vivian disliked the poor environment of the rental house and was unwilling to live there.
Ethan was at his wits' end when he remembered that he still had the key to my villa in his phone.
"Tanya won't be staying here for a while anyway, so let's just borrow the place to stay for a few days."
Although they said it was a temporary stay, Vivian was so taken with it as soon as she arrived that she moved in right away and treated it as her own home.
Seeing Ethan's sad face, Vivian hooked her arms around his neck and chuckled.
"Ethan, this is only a temporary setback. It will take some time for your parents to accept me, but I believe it will happen sooner or later. After all, I am your destined wife."
Vivian claims to be from the future, and whenever she talks about these ambiguous words about the future, Ethan will be controlled by her mind.
At this moment, Ethan's expression softened a bit.
"Vivian, tell me, what kind of life will we be living in five years?"
Vivian avoided his gaze but continued to make plans with a smile.
"We are very loving. Not only did we give birth to a pair of cute twins, we also raised cats and dogs. You also successfully became the head of the Grant Family..."
When they were deeply in love, they hugged each other, and I closed my eyes because of the disgust.
Ethan had no income and was kicked out by the Grant family, so he had to find ways to make some money.
As soon as he left that day, a man sneaked in.
I thought there was a thief, but Vivian was not panicking at all and was wearing a short suspender skirt.
Just hugged him.
Oh my god, it turns out he’s an adulterer.
Seeing that they were getting better and better, I called the police directly, "There's a thief in my villa."
When the police arrived, they just caught the couple in adultery.
The adulterer couldn't escape. Ethan happened to take Liam's car back and saw Vivian being caught on the spot.
Even the neighbors and passers-by came to watch the fun.
"Oh my god, isn't this Ethan? He said he was so angry at the wedding for Nightclub hostess, but he didn't expect to be cuckolded the next time, haha."
"What kind of look is that? You don't want to marry such a thing when you have such a good daughter of the Shaw family."
"I wonder if Ethan feels itchy on his back. His tortoise shell is about to grow out..."
Hearing people talking behind his back, Ethan felt embarrassed and became furious.
"Vivian, didn't you say you've changed your ways? You'll never do this again. Explain to me what's going on and why you're cheating on me?"
Vivian hid the panic on her face and cried.
"Oh my God, I just woke up, I don't know why there is a man next to me, it must be Sister Tanya, this is her villa, it was Sister Tanya who harmed me."
Chapter 6
Wow, I can be framed even for eating a melon.
It was as if Ethan's sanity had been eaten by a dog.
Hearing Vivian's absurd excuse, he turned his head and looked at me coldly without even thinking about it.
"Tanya, I knew it would be you."
"I told you at the engagement gala that day, give up on this idea. I will never marry you again."
"How dare you do such a disgusting trick while I'm away? Do you really think I will believe you if you try to sow discord between us? This will only make me hate you even more!"
I folded my arms and looked at him coldly.
"Ethan is too narcissistic. The system prompted that my house was spied on. I just called the police. Why are you so excited?"
I pretended to be shocked and said, "Could it be that the thief who came in was you?"
"Oh my god, the great Young Ethan has nowhere to go and has fallen into such an embarrassing state. He has to become a thief in someone else's villa. Does he have any shame..."
Ethan's face turned pale, "Shut up!"
But his expression told everyone that he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
That day, Vivian was taken away in public and taken to the police station for interrogation.
Although he was released soon after.
But her dishevelled clothes had already been photographed that day, and the indecent photos were spread everywhere.
I don’t know what’s wrong with Ethan. Even in this situation, he still trusts Vivian.
Seeing that he was about to die, Ethan resorted to a self-torture tactic and stood on the rooftop to speak to the Grant family.
"Mom and Dad, the only person I want to marry in my life is Vivian. If you don't let her into the Grant family, I will jump from here."
Uncle Grant only has this one son. When he saw his useless son in front of the camera, he almost fainted.
Aunt Grant was so anxious that she quickly said to the camera, "Son, we agree! Come down from the rooftop."
After that day, although the Grant family was reluctant, Vivian was finally accepted.
Vivian looked at me smugly and defiantly.
"Tanya, you think Childhood sweethearts are so great, even if you try to destroy it, as long as I'm here, Ethan will never look back at you."
"Don't think I don't know that you called the police on purpose just to embarrass me, but what's the point."
"Even if my indecent photos were placed in front of Ethan, he would still believe that I was innocent. This is the power of love."
I just smiled and said nothing. I want to see how long the love she talked about can last.
Three days later, the Grant family invited the Shaw family to a dinner party to express their apology for breaking off the engagement.
At the banquet, Aunt Grant never looked at her future daughter-in-law. Instead, she held my hand with a look of reluctance.
"It's my stupid son who has no vision and no luck. I really want you to be my daughter-in-law."
Vivian next to me clenched her fists and looked at me fiercely.
In the middle of the party, Vivian suddenly ran to the terrace and cried alone.
When Ethan found her, she cried and threw herself into his arms.
"I remembered that the reason I was able to contract STDs three years later was because of Tanya."
"She pretended to be generous and gave you to me, but in fact she was jealous of me and tried every means to snatch you back."
"And the car accident was caused by Tanya turning love into hate. She couldn't have you and couldn't bear to see us being happy together, so she wanted to run you over and kill you..."
Seeing Vivian crying more and more miserably, Ethan's face became serious.
"Ethan, for our future and for the safe birth of our child, you must drive her away."
