“No! I, Aria James, have never cared about you and Olivia getting married?
“Blake Sullivan, to me, you’re worse than a stray dog! If you marry her, I’ll set off firecrackers to celebrate that I, Aria James, have finally gotten rid of trash like you! Do you understand?!”
“Don’t care? If you really don’t care, why are you going crazy here? If you don’t care, why do you keep targeting Olivia?”
Blake shouted.
Ethan stepped forward, shielding me behind him.
“Blake Sullivan, you’re so stupid! Open your dog eyes and see clearly who’s really vicious! Who’s manipulating everything behind the scenes! Who’s playing with your emotions! You’re being fooled by your so–called love!”

“Aria, what’s wrong? You look so pale. Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”
Ethan’s voice was filled with concern.
The next second, I was enveloped in his embrace.
The familiar warm scent surrounded me as I nestled in his arms.
