Chapter 3. Please Don’t Do Anything Stupid

Bettina quickly stopped her as she picked up the fragments of the vase and was about to cut her feet with it, “What do you think you’re doing?”

Annetta tilted her head and smiled as she said, “The iron chain can’t be broken, but that won’t be a problem if I cut off my feet! Bettina, come and help me.” She handed a piece of the broken vase to Bettina.

Bettina’s hairs stood on end, of course, she did not dare to take it. She ran away, startled, as she yelled, “Wait here, Miss, I’ll bring Mr. Taylor in here now. Please do anything stupid.”

Annetta looked at Bettina’s retreating back and casually threw the pieces of the shattered vase on the ground.

Her eyes turned cold as she looked at the cut in her foot. Of course, she would not do anything stupid! Did it hurt? Of course, it did. But this pain would remind her of stupidity in her previous life!

Bettina was indeed scared stiff. Had this woman gone crazy? She must be out of her mind if she wanted to resort to cutting off her leg to open the chain! She felt that Annetta had somehow become very strange after waking up.

Regardless, this fool still chose to meet Caleb in the bedroom and this would be like a slap in Young Master Ethan’s face. It was like ‘digging her own grave’! As long as Annetta still wanted to do it, whether crazy or not, Bettina would happily help her get into trouble with Young Master Ethan.

Bettina soon brought Caleb to Annetta’s bedroom.

At this time, Annetta was already sitting in a wheelchair.

This wheelchair had been left behind from the time Ethan had brought her horse riding. She had fractured her leg by jumping off the horse due to an argument with Ethan.

When Caleb came in, he saw Annetta sitting in a wheelchair and the shattered pieces of porcelain stained with blood scattered around her.

Bettina had informed him about Annetta’s condition and Caleb did not think too much of it. Since Annetta was crazily in love with him, she probably used such an extreme method because she wanted to see him so badly.

Annetta was the eldest daughter of the White family. She came from a well-off family and since young, they had been betrothed to each other.

Annetta revolved her life around him. As the saying went, ‘There was no such thing as a free lunch.’ Caleb was like any other regular guy. But this woman was too ugly even for him to accept.

A huge mole on her face did not help her mediocre appearance. Adding on to that, she also had a peculiar taste and, to his grandmother’s displeasure, wore a black flower coat every day. To make matters worse, her hair was always greasy and stuck to her scalp, like she had not washed it for a year. He felt repulsed every time he looked at her.

Only Young Master Ethan’s bizarre taste would take a fancy to an ugly person like Annetta.

He only came because Bettina had told him that as long as Annetta remained alive, they could use her to gain favours from Young Master Ethan.

Caleb put on airs even though he had come to apologize.

He stood in front of Annetta and looked down at her, raising his eyebrows slightly.

“Annetta, hasn’t Bettina already told you? I didn’t break your legs on purpose. There were people from the Harris family present yesterday and I suspect Ethan was using me to harm you!”

Was this the so-called apology? With such a proud attitude?

Only he would think of trying to blame Ethan for his own actions.

Annetta lifted her eyelids and squinted at the young master of the Taylor family in Toronto.

He had a pair of almond-shaped eyes. His every gaze seemed to be seductive, and it was hard not to be attracted to him.

However, no matter how good-looking he was, he was only average at most. He was exceptionally frivolous, especially when he was deliberately seducing others. He was far worse than Ethan. Why did she fall in love with this scumbag in her previous life when she could have gone for a handsome man like Ethan instead?

Caleb saw that Annetta did not utter a word. He thought about it and said, “You don’t have to be too sad. This may be a good thing. Young Master Ethan won’t want you anymore now that your legs are broken. Then, you can finally be free.”

The more Caleb said, the more reasonable it sounded. “You’ll thank me instead when that time comes.”

Annetta smiled, and tears flowed down her cheeks.

She had been blind to have loved such a guy to death in her previous life. To the point that she had neglected herself.

Annetta was silent, her gaze slowly shifting towards the man’s bulging veins as he spoke.

“Annetta, it doesn’t matter even if you leave Young Master Ethan. Uncle Ford told me that Mr. Roberts has always been quite interested in you. When that time comes, you can go with him and you won’t have to worry about ever going hungry. You know very well that Mr. Roberts has always been the sworn enemy of the Harris family. You hate Young Master Ethan, right? Take it as getting revenge on the Harris family if you go with Mr. Roberts.

Caleb did not notice that Annetta’s expression had darkened when he mentioned Mr. Roberts’ name. In her previous life, they had schemed to kidnap and send her to Mr. Roberts. They had allowed him and his subordinates to toy with her. This was the reason she had jumped off the cliff—to protect her innocence.

It turns out that they had already started to plot against her in her previous life.

Annetta clenched her fists, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes. Although she was itching to peel off their skin and break all their bones, now was not the time.

She calculated the time. At this moment in her previous life, Bettina would have brought Ethan over by now…

He had not only been standing outside the door but had heard every word of their conversation.

The man stood against the light. His face was as handsome as a god, and his figure was long and slender. He was so handsome that he looked like he was about to melt under the sun’s warm rays.

However, his dark eyes were deep and cold, making people afraid to look straight at him.

Ethan’s personal assistant, Howard, was drenched in cold sweat. He no longer dared to look at Young Master Ethan’s face. The frigid aura around Young Master Ethan made him feel like he was surrounded by countless ice shards that would stab him in the heart at the slightest disagreement.

Even Bettina was so scared that she did not even dare to breathe too loudly. Even though she was afraid, the thought of Annetta finally being done for made her blood boil with excitement.

At this moment, the woman spoke, “I do hate Ethan…”

The man had already reached his boiling point. Bettina’s eyes could not contain her excitement as Ethan prepared to storm into the bedroom. That stupid woman had just given herself a death sentence.

Then the fool’s voice came again.

“But all that is in the past. I was young and inexperienced and didn’t know how good Ethan was. Now, I realize that Ethan is equivalent to a ‘god-on-earth,’ how could that Mr. Roberts ever compare with him?”

Don’t even talk about Mr. Roberts, you can’t even compare yourself to a single strand of hair on my Ethan’s head. He is my honey and my little darling. Don’t even try to break our relationship apart!”

Howard was speechless.

So was Bettina.

What was going on?

Ethan was… What?!

Honey and little darling?

The two shivering people had been expecting a bloody scene in the next second, but they never expected such a plot twist.

They all looked at the man.

Ethan’s eyes darkened as his anger gradually subsided.
