Chapter 124


    Chapter 124 No More Rationality


    Erin’s words hit Simon like a bolt from the blue, and he remained frozen with a stiff expression on his


    face for quite some time.


    When he snapped back to his senses, he was somewhat annoyed as he asked. “What do you mean?


    Why are you ndering Megan? Why?


    Simon’s reaction revealed to Erin that he really liked Megan. This worsened Erin’s mood. If Simon


    didn’t like Megan that much, that would be better for him. Then, he wouldn’t have to endure so much


    pain.


    Seeing Erin suddenly fall silent, Simon angrily walked toward the door. She guessed that he was in a


    hurry to leave.


    “I didn’t nder Megan. She has been deceiving you all along! She has a rtionship with a man


    named Percival behind your back. I heard.


    them with my own ears earlier-”


    He turned back furiously and shouted at Erin, “Shut up! Who gave you the courage to spout such


    nonsense? Don’t forget that I’m awyer! I don’t care if you’re a friend of my cousin or not, if you dare


    spread rumors and cause trouble like this. I won’t let you off the hook!”


    Simon’s intense reaction pained Erin deeply. The more anger and denial he disyed, the more it


    proved that he cared about Megan.


    This made Erin suddenly curious, and she asked, “Since you care about her so much, why do you


    insist on not having sex before marriage?


    Seeing him like this, Erin couldn’t help but think of her past self. asionally, she would wonder if she


    hadn’t insisted on those rigid and outdated principles, would her love withn have blossomed and


    borne fruit?


    “H–How do you know about that?” Simon suddenly walked toward her in agitation, standing right in


    front of her, his gaze interrogating.


    Erin calmly said, “I told you. I heard it with my own ears. Megan confessed it herself.”


    Upon learning that a third person knew about such a private matter, a trace of disgust for Erin shed


    across Simon’s eyes. He turned his face away from Erin and said, “Because I care about her. I want to


    save that most important moment for the most important day.”


    His words made Erin chuckle involuntarily. Simon looked at her and said, “What are youughing at?


    I’m afraid someone like you wouldn’t understand-


    “You think I don’t? Hah… Let me tell you the truth. Before I got married, I was just like you, wanting to


    save that most important moment for the most important day! That was why I insisted. But what did I


    get in the end? All I got was betrayal. He even med me for his infidelity! He med me for being so


    rigid with my principles!”

    Erin’s eyes reddened, but she didn’t shed tears. However, her angry and mocking tone revealed her


    pain.


    At that moment, she calmed Simon’s emotions to some extent, and he consoled her in turn, “You’re


    better off without a man like that. He’s not worth your love.”


    Erin looked at him seriously and said, “The same goes for you. It’s better to break up with that kind of


    woman. She’s not worth your love.”


    But Simon didn’t believe her words. His gaze suddenly turned cold and terrifying. “Erin, don’t think I


    don’t know about your friend, Holly! I know that she approached me multiple times because she likes


    me. I thought I’d made my position clear, but she shamelessly continued to pursue a man who has a


    girlfriend. Don’t you think that she’s despicable?”


    Now Erin was genuinely angry. “Simon, don’t be so judgmental and harsh. You’re lucky that Holly likes


    you! You can ignore her feelings for you, but you can’t speak of her like that!”


    Simon’s entire face turned frosty. His exquisite and handsome appearance resembled Chandler’s.


    When he didn’t smile and had a stern expression, he looked terrifying and intimidating.


    He cornered Erin, his tall and upright figure looming over her petite body.


    A wicked smile formed on Simon’s lips. “What’s wrong with me saying that? From the moment I sensed


    her intentions to pursue me. I told her that I have a girlfriend. Yet, she shamelessly continued to pursue


    a man who was already taken. Can you still say that she’s a proper and conscientious woman?”


    Erin’s heart skipped a beat, and she asked in confusion, “Does Holly really know that you have a


    girlfriend?”


    Her words made Simonugh even mockingly. “It seems she doesn’t tell you everything either. I’m


    afraid even she feels ashamed to admit


    it.”


    Erin had a strange feeling in her heart, and her face turned somewhat hot. Il Holly really knew about his


    girlfriend and still chased after him so enthusiastically, no matter how Erin looked at it, she was being a


    slutty bitch.


    But for now, she only heard Simon’s side of the story. She didn’t want to judge her good friend in his


    presence.


    Erin countered. “Anyway, I’ve already told you about Megan. Whether you believe it or not is up to you.”


    She tried to push Simon away, but he voluntarily stepped aside before she could touch him.


    Simon suddenlyughed out loud and looked at Erin with disdain and a hint of disgust. “Erin, I’ve


    encountered women like you before. You intentionally defamed my girlfriend because you want to help


    your friend… Or maybe you have some ulterior motive toward me.”


    His words made Erin’s footstepse to a stop instantly. She turned around incredulously and looked


    squarely into his eyes as she said. frostily, “I always thought thatwyers were smart people. I even


    thought that they were unfeeling and heartless when it came to human rtionships. But, you, Simon,


    you’ve truly shattered my preconceptions. It turns out that you’re not only conceited but also


    narcissistic! It


    serves you right to be the one deceived in your rtionship!”


    At that moment, Erin was boiling with anger. She was aware that her words were harsh, but she didn’t


    intend to take them back.


    Seeing that she was about to leave, Simon stood in front of her and blocked her way. Through gritted


    teeth, he demanded, “Erin, I want you


    to apologize to my girlfriend! If Megan forgives you, then I’ll forgive you too.”


    Erin deeply regretted telling on Megan at this moment. Why did she bother with this obstinate lunatic?


    Wasn’t she just looking for trouble?


    In fact, she was practically asking for it!


    “Let go, Simon!”


    He tightly held onto one of her arms and refused to let go. “Will you apologize or not?”


    Erin’sst trace of patience and kindness had been exhausted. She coldly took out her own phone from


    the pocket of her jeans with her


    other hand and pressed to y what she’d recorded earlier. She’d been holding back from presenting


    the most direct evidence. After all


    such evidence could do massive harm to the victim.


    But she clearly underestimated Simon’s extremism. She never expected that thewyer who should


    have been rational andposed would be so stubborn and obsessed when it came to his own


    rtionship. The explicit audio clip yed for less than two minutes before


    Simon couldn’t bear it anymore. He snatched Erin’s phone and threw it out of the window.


    Erin watched in bewilderment as her phone fell into theke following a parabolic trajectory.


    When she finally came back to her senses, she was filled with rage. She started punching and kicking


    Simon. “Are you crazy? Why did you


    throw my phone? Are you insane?”


    But Simon, who was absolutely consumed by his fury seemedpletely lost in his own world. It


    wasn’t until he felt a slight pain in his shin that he suddenly looked at Erin. He resented and hated her


    immensely for revealing the brutal truth to him. His heart was engulfed in


    raging mes with no outlet for release.


    Simon found Erin’s constant yapping the most infuriating thing in existence at that moment. He


    bellowed. “Shut up!”


    At this point. Erin also lost her rationality. She continued to vent her frustrations on him. Simon’s eyes


    narrowed dangerously. If this continued, he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to control himself from


    hurting her.


    Instinctively, he forcefully pushed Erin against the wall, gripping her arms tightly and pressing them


    against the wall. Then, he used his innate method of restraint to silence her lips…


    When Simon’s icy lips touched hers, everything went nk in her brain.


    It wasn’t until Simon started to forcefully ravage her without any finesse that Erin came back to her


    senses with a start and began to resist. She tried to fight back with her hands, but he effortlessly


    restrained her. Even her legs were immobilized by his knees.


    Erin’s heart was in a state of panic. Her mind was in disarray. What had just happened?


    Why did Simon kiss her?


    Faced with his unreasonable invasion, Erin started to cry out of helplessness. It wasn’t until Simon


    tasted the bitter aftertaste on his lips. that he suddenly realized what he’d done. Simon instantly


    released her, as if she were a terrifying monster. He staggered back by a step in a somewhat


    disheveled manner.


    As soon as Erin gained her freedom, the strong feelings of anger and humiliationpelled her to step


    forward instinctively and give


    Simon a hard p!


    Her voice trembled with fear as she choked back a sob. “You’ve gone too far!”
