Chapter 343 yboy''s Affair Exposed


    Standing on the stage, Jean stared at her phone, still in shock about the messages she received that


    she didn''t feel Maranda''s presence beside her. "Oh my... is that... Dear Lord, Jean, that''s wonderful!


    You can finally get rid of this yboy once and for all!" Maranda acimed. She was confident that this


    would bring Ethan down and thankful that someone saved her dear friend from all the misery that man


    had brought about.


    With a frown on her face, Jesse looked at Jean with great disdain. She knew her n was starting to


    fail the moment she saw Maranda perk up as if rejoicing from the fact that they had a wild card in hand,


    ready to throw to win this battle. Her heart sank at the thought of her defeat.


    ''What is in that text message Jean had just received?'' Jesse wondered in desperation.


    She bit her bottom lip, trying topose herself after feeling a sense of panic. She thought about the


    people who could possibly help Jean this time and cursed whoever they were in her mind.


    She looked around, scanning everyone present and noticed that all the possible people who could help


    Jean were here in this very room. ''Who else helped Jean this time?''


    Jesse''s train of thought was interrupted when Jean''s voice circted throughout the room. She was


    dying to know what Jean had received and what she nned to do next. "Just now..." Jean stopped


    and deliberately cleared her throat as sheposed her thoughts. She faced the audience, swallowing


    the lump on her throat once more and spoke," Just to be clear, Ethan''s affectionate speech tugged


    none of my heartstrings. His attempt to move me backfired, because I felt sick instead. It made me


    realize how terrible of a person he truly is that I even regret getting involved with him."


    The audience listened intently to every word Jean stated, earning her varied reactions. Some burst into


    an uproar of agreement while some kept their reactions quietly to themselves, only showing a mocking


    smile stered on their faces.


    Indeed, this was a reality. Those who did wrong deserved a consequence almost as intense as the


    faulty action done.


    Of course, there were already some who had despised Ethan before this incident. They couldn''t


    believe his audacity for being such a huge flirt in public.


    Now hearing Jean say that, many people felt the same instantly.


    Jean paused for a moment, observing the crowd''s reaction. She was satisfied that others nodded their


    head in agreement, but she couldn''t help noticing how some people looked at her skeptically. Good for


    them. She had something to show them. "Nheless, I know that some of you find it hard to believe


    just by mere words. In order to reveal Ethan''s true nature and to prove that I have done nothing wrong,


    and I am innocent as I say I am, I will show you what I had just received. This would surely surprise you


    as it did to me despite knowing how horrible Ethan is. For sure, Mr. Lei here would care to exin what


    is happening," she said in disgust, looking at Ethan''s confused but nervous look.


    Ethan stared back at her with narrowing eyes as if ready to hunt her down. His fists clenched tightly


    beside him. Jean stared back without fear and pressed a button on her phone to project the photos


    onto the screen.


    One by one, the photos started to appear on therge ck screen. Gasps emerged from the crowd.


    Photos of a man and a woman beside him were projected. The man was obviously Ethan, and the


    woman was beautiful, but she wasn''t Jean. They showed them in intimate positions that one of the


    images showed them kissing passionately.


    Ethan''s eyes widened in shock. Most of the audience turned to him to give him a disgusted look. He


    instantly felt humiliated, but in spite of the embarrassment, he felt his anger welling up inside of him.


    "These photos are all fabricated! None of them are real!" He cried out, but his attempts seemed to be in


    vain for none of the audience looked convinced.


    "Are you saying that I know about your n of staging a dramatic scene today that I prepared and


    asked someone to edit these photos for revenge? If I had known you had such schemes, I wouldn''t


    stoop down to your level!" Jean dered. She gave Ethan a cold and piercing re. She couldn''t


    believe that he still had the nerve to deny.


    "I..." Ethan started but couldn''t think of anything else to say. He was unable to respond, making him feel


    more humiliated. Instead of showing his vulnerability, his face turned livid with rage. He exhaled


    furiously and stabbed Jean with his gaze. He wasn''t going to let her or anyone else or even anything


    get to him. "Jean, you ingrate!"


    "Are you talking to yourself? You''re the ingrate, not me!" Jean sneered, crossing her arms on her chest.


    She was starting to feel satisfied by how Ethan was getting the taste of his own medicine, but the party


    wasn''t over just yet. "Don''t worry. I wasn''t finished. I saved the best forst."


    This time, the gasps grew louder. Loud noises of hushed whispers and astonished reactions from the


    crowd filled the room.


    Reluctant, Ethan turned his attention towards the screen. His expression immediately changed after


    seeing the projected picture.


    In the photo was still Ethan. What''s more surprising was that in this picture, the woman in the previous


    photos was caressing a bump before her.


    The woman was about five or six months pregnant based on how big her bump was.


    Jean hushed the crowd before speaking again. "Obviously, the woman in this picture is expecting a


    baby, and since Ethan is always around her as if they''re both in an intimate rtionship, it is safe to say


    that Ethan is the father. Now, you all must be wondering what happened to the woman and the child


    they were expecting?" A moment of confused silence enveloped the room.


    "Well, you see, the woman who is in these pictures was the one who sent them to me, and I will make


    sure that Ethan won''t be able toy a finger on her. Unfortunately, the baby had already been aborted,


    because Ethan, the cruel biological father of the expected child, forced the woman to do it. Do you all


    want to know why?" Jean cleared her throat. "The reason why Mr. Lei is heremitted infidelity. He


    fell in love with another woman named Sheryl Bai, who had just returned from studying abroad. In order


    to pursue her, he forced his girlfriend to abort his own child. Can you imagine? Just so he could be with


    another girl, he had to sacrifice an unborn child. He even forced his girlfriend to break up with him. How


    selfish is that!"


    She said while angrily pointing at Ethan. She started fuming that even the audience looked at Ethan in


    shock and disgust.


    Ethan felt more humiliated. He pointed at the screen and shouted," That''s nonsense! None of what she


    said is true!" Then he shook his head, raised his right hand up, and swore," Believe me, I didn''t..." He


    was turning red and sweat trickled down his temples. If he wasn''t too flustered, the audience might


    have believed him, but evidence in front was too real to be fabricated.


    "Really? You didn''t?" Jean snickered in disbelief. "I admire your strong audacity to still keep denying


    what you had done." Jean shook her head and jeered. "Oh wait, maybe the reason you''re so


    audacious is because your girlfriend is in the hospital at this very moment that she can''te here to


    confirm all these pictures of both of you together." Jean took a nce at Maranda, standing on the door


    beside the stage. She nodded at Jean, taking this as her cue. Jean faced the crowd again and to


    Ethan, who was ring at her. She gave him a wicked smile. "It''s still too early to rx, Ethan. Say,


    how about confessing to the girl I invited today that all of these pictures are not real?"


    "What? Who..." The color in Ethan''s face drained as he slowly realized who the girl Jean could be


    pertaining to. He started to panic.


    Jean gave him a contemptuous look before facing the door. Everyone else turned to the same


    direction, all wondering who the girl Jean invited might be. Although some already put the pieces


    together.


    Everyone''s eyes gazed at the beautiful girl and followed her as she walked gracefully towards the


    stage. She had on a captivating atmosphere as if she had cast a spell on everyone in the room.


    Although her aura was shining in everyone''s eyes, her face had a mncholic expression,pletely


    opposite to what she was exuding. As she found Ethan among the crowd, her eyebrows furrowed.


    Scorn and disgust was evident on her face.


    At this moment, Ethan froze, not because of Sheryl Bai''s exuberance but because of her presence


    before everyone. For a moment, he was unable to find his words, still shocked about her unexpected


    appearance. Before long, he came back to his senses. He strode towards the stage. "Sheryl, it''s not


    true. Nothing of this is true. You have to believe me... Please, I can exin. Sheryl, my love, please."


    As he reached Sheryl Bai, he knelt down in front of her and grabbed her hands. He could lose


    everything but not Sheryl Bai. He couldn''t afford to be without her. Tears brimmed Ethan''s eyes.


    For a second, Sheryl Bai was tempted to forgive him. She wanted to make him stand and just envelope


    him in her arms. However, she remembered what he had done. Shaking her head in disgust, Sheryl Bai


    quickly pulled her hand away from his grasp. "No words thate from your mouth will make me


    believe you. I have seen what you had done, and I can''t believe how wretched you are for still denying


    everything." Sheryl Bai crossed her arms and stared at Ethan with the most expressionless eyes she


    could possibly muster.

    Ethan felt pierced. He saw the veracity of each of her words just by looking at those eyes that used to


    glow for him. He looked down on his knees and proimed her name in desperation. Everyone in the


    room saw how devastated Ethan had looked. At that moment, Jean thought he would finally admit his


    sins. She was wrong, however, as they all witnessed Ethan trash his hair in frustration. "All this was a


    frame up by someone who wanted to destroy me! I''m innocent!" He cried out, pointing at himself.


    The audience gave him varied violent reactions. By now, everyone was convinced that he was spouting


    lies.


    Sheryl Bai felt nothing butpletely repulsed at Ethan. She couldn''t believe that she had feelings for


    a man who could still lie on her face even after the evidences against him. She trembled in anger and


    gave Ethan a wondering but still fierce look. "Ethan, why are you like this? How can you still be this


    shameless in front of me? Do you think I just arrived? Do you think that taking advantage of my


    ignorance will let youe back into my arms? You think I''m gullible and easy to cheat on, don''t you?"


    Sheryl Bai paused and swallowed a lump on her throat, trying to keep herself from crying. "You''re not


    the only one feeling devastated. I, too, am disappointed in myself for having eyes and yet I still failed to


    see, because then, I wouldn''t have been attracted to you." She gave Ethan a cold stare.


    "You see, although I have failed to see your true nature and although I have been deceived by you, I


    am grateful that it isn''t toote yet. I now know about how you discredited Jean in front of a lot of


    people and how shameless it was of you to demand Charlotte Huang for an abortion, risking her life


    and as well as the unborn baby, just so you could be with me. Do you think I appreciate that? No, and


    you don''t know how much hate I have for you right now." Sheryl Bai closed her eyes and inhaled in


    frustration. She erased all her sweet memories with Ethan before opening her eyes, nowpletely


    cold and expressionless for the man in front of him. "You''re an ass, Ethan. Here, in front of everyone,


    I''m telling you, we''re done. I don''t want to be involved with you anymore. So, stop pestering me, and


    don''t beg for my forgiveness. Most importantly, don''t you show your face in front of me ever again, or I


    definitely won''t be lenient with you."


    She gave Ethan one angry look before storming off the room and never dared to look back, afraid that


    someone would see the tears already threatening toe out of her eyes.


    For a moment, Ethan couldn''t move. Hearing those words felt like his heart just got stabbed multiple


    times by a dull knife. He stood up after finding his self and called Sheryl Bai''s name. "Sheryl...I''m true


    to you..." Ethan tried to catch up with her, but was blocked by a pair of ck-d mening from


    behind and no one knew where they wereing from. So he could only struggle and shout," Sheryl...


    Sheryl..."


    Everyone sighed at this scene.


    Even Benjamin sighed deeply. "How can the Lei family raise such a scum as Ethan?"


    Zed, on the other hand, looked at Ethan''s shameless face. Although he resisted hard as the whole


    scene took ce, he felt a bit sorry for the man, who was insane and a desperate romantic.


    He shrugged this feeling away, recing it with relief. Now that Ethan''s offensive acts had been


    disclosed, Jean was now innocent.


    A smile crept on his face before he turned to face Benjamin. "Grandpa, you see, Jean is innocent. You


    can believe her now."


    Benjamin looked at Zed and frowned. "What are you talking about? Do something, and don''t let her


    anyway near that scum!" Benjamin pointed at Jean, still frowning. He was going to me Zed if


    anything happened to Jean.


    Zed gave Benjamin a hesitant look before realizing that any minute now, Ethan might explode in front


    of Jean. He nodded and stood up. He smiled once again, realizing how worried grandpa might had


    been to order him that way. He was just about to walk over towards Jean when Ethan''s uproar stopped


    everyone from what they were all doing.


    At that moment, Ethan could be described as a wild animal, trapped and struggling to escape. Jean


    froze and trembled at the sight of him. He forcefully let go of his right arm and pointed angrily at Jean.


    "You! You''re the reason why all this happened to me. You brought me all this misery! Do you think that


    after what you did to me, I will just let you go easily? Oh no, woman, I won''t let you go back to your


    happy life!"


    He shouted furiously, thrashing and throwing himself away from his captors.


    Jean, who was only a few steps away from Ethan, froze. She couldn''t seem to muster any words to


    say, still in shock. She found it hard to grasp the words Ethan had just said. Astonished, Zed


    immediately rushed towards Jean, but he was toote.


    Everything happened so fast that Jean couldn''t do anything but watch as Ethan pounced at her. She


    closed her eyes helplessly, praying for anything or anyone to save her from jeopardy.
