Chapter 29: I Feel So Good
This was also the reason he disliked Ata. He always felt that a beauty like her would one day be
Ethan''s downfall.
Ata fluttered her bright and watery eyes at him, an extremely touching gesture, and said, “I saw
you standing in the rain when I came down to get some water. Did you get this punishment because of

me?” Remorse filled her face.
Howard did not even raise an eyebrow at Ata''s self-incrimination.
"It must be because of me..." Ata said sorrowfully, "Ethan got mad because you didn''t inform him
that I was going to pick him up at thepany. It''s all my fault. You wouldn''t have gotten punished if I
didn''t go to look for Ethan at thepany..."
Howard could not help rolling his eyes as he listened to Ata''s remorseful cries, thinking to himself,
"Trying to act innocent in front of me? Does she think that I''m Ethan? Of course, I won''t fall for her
tricks."
Suddenly, the woman gave an evil smile. "So I came here to watch the fun! I feel so good seeing you
being punished like this!"
Howard''s eyebrows twitched.
The unpredictable woman reached out her hand and caught a drop of rain on her finger. She flicked it
on herself and shivered, "So cold...I''m sure you must be freezing from the cold after standing in the rain
for so long."
Howard ignored her.
She stopped her maniacalughter, reached out her hand and yed with the water droplets at the
edge of the umbre, a picture of an extremely gentledy. “Howard, you’ve never liked me. Right?
That’s why you did nothing when Elizabeth and her gang bullied me at the store. You wanted to stop
me from picking Ethan up from work, but you still drove me there... because you wanted to see me
embarrass myself and make a trip in vain, right? You know really well how strict the Harris Group’s
management is, and meeting Ethan was impossible.”
Howard didn''t say a word, but his expression seemed to sneer at her saying, "You can''t do anything
about the way I behave."
Ata clicked her tongue and smiled, "I see that you really despise me. What a pity. No matter, I''ve
never been afraid of people hating me. Too bad for you that Ethan is on my side. The more you go
against me, the more punishments you will get. "
Howard was irritated. Did she hit her head during the car crash? Was a screw loose? She had been
weird and abnormal since the night of the car crash, like she had turned into a psychopath.
Ata could feel his anger even though Howard did not say a word.
This was the effect she wanted. She loved seeing people who hated her helpless to do anything
against her.
She gave azy yawn and shrugged her shoulders. "Alright, Howard, I want to go back into my warm,
cosy bed. Have fun standing here!"
She opened the other umbre she had brought with her and bnced it on Howard''s shoulder. "You
looked so pitiful standing in the rain, so I brought you an umbre."
Ata smiled and said slowly, "Howard, remember, don''t ever...drop the umbre! Or else I won''t be
able to stop myself from reporting to Ethan!"
She gave an evil cackle and went back into the house. Howard watched her leave and cursed all of
Ata’s ancestors. Bearing his punishment to stand in the rain without moving was already an
arduous task. To add salt to the wound, there was now the burden of having to bnce an umbre on
his shoulder.
