Chapter 3 Ethan, happy birthday!

Emily's hand on the doorknob had turned pale.

These people had seen her and Ethan's love story unfold. They had been once their mutual friends. Even strangers wouldn't be this cruel, right? Would it really be best if she never woke up, just to make everyone happy?

Emily finally made up her mind, took a deep breath, and walked into the room.

Ethan looked up at her, his brows furrowing, the disgust in his eyes clear as day.

"Emily, who let you in?" Ethan asked savagely.

Emily stared at him without blinking. "Ethan, I'm here to let you know I called the police. They will soon start investigation on the drug at the club last time, and of course, the crime you committed by posting my nude photo online without my permission."

Everyone's expressions changed instantly.

Lisa's eyes showed a hint of panic. She hurried over to Emily, trying to persuade her. "Emily, calling the police won't be good for you, Ethan, or the Grant family. Don't act impulsively. Besides, didn't the Grant family's PR already suppress this matter? Why hold on to it?"

Emily didn't look at her; she calmly withdrew her hand and fixed her gaze on Ethan. "Ethan, I did try to win you back, but I wouldn't stoop so low as to drug you to sleep with you. You could have easily found out the truth, but you chose to make me bear the responsibility."

Even though Ethan knew full well that her traumatic childhood had left her with a psychological shadow and she was extremely averse to sex.

"I never gave up because I was afraid that one day the Ethan who loved me deeply would come back and blame me for not trying hard enough for our relationship," Emily said, taking a divorce agreement from her bag and placing it in front of Ethan. "Now, I've tried. He won't blame me anymore. Ethan, rest assured; I won't bother you anymore."

Ethan glanced at the divorce agreement, frowning slightly. This wasn't the one he had left in the apartment.

Emily said, "I will wait for the police to prove my innocence and for you to publicly apologize to me."

Emily looked at Ethan, took out a pen, and solemnly signed her name on the agreement under his gaze.

After signing, she looked up. "See you at the courthouse in a month. We'll get the divorce."

Emily raised her glass to Ethan, holding back her tears. "Ethan, happy birthday!"

The last time she wished him a happy birthday. She downed the glass of wine in one gulp and turned to leave.

"Emily!" Hubert chased after her.

Ethan picked up the divorce agreement, his brows furrowing.
