Ethan’s face contorted with disdain. “You’re the one who chased after this marriage. If you hadn’t been so insistent, Ivan wouldn’t have married you.”
“That’s a lie!” I countered sharply. “It was Ivan who begged me to marry him!”
His expression darkened with jealousy and fury. “You’re lying!”
In a fit of rage, he seized a wine bottle and threw it at me.
The glass shattered, sending a cascade of red wine over my expensive designer gown. Had I not reacted swiftly, the bottle might have struck me on the head.
I took several deep breaths, fighting to control my mounting anger.
Ethan, still relentless, continued to rant, “Look at this! This woman’s trying to twist everything around!”
“She’s got some nerve, ruining other people’s lives and then playing the victim!”
“Everything she’s wearing, including the clothes and the accessories, was all bought with my boyfriend’s money! She owes me 100 thousand dollars-every last cent!”
I was livid, my face burning with anger.
“Pay you back? I spent my own money, not yours. Why should I owe you anything? If you keep this up, I’m calling the police!”
Ethan’s face twisted into a dramatic sneer.
“Oh, she’s threatening to call the cops. How scary!”
“Let’s see who ends up in trouble!”
“If you don’t pay up today, you can forget about having your daughter’s funeral.”
He signaled to his crew, who quickly grabbed chairs and started smashing everything in sight.
Priceless antique paintings worth hundreds of thousands of dollars were thrown into the flames.
Guests scrambled for cover as the funeral turned into utter chaos.
Ignoring the mayhem around me, I desperately crawled toward my daughter’s urn.
Ethan’s bodyguards forcefully pinned me to the ground. My desperate attempts to break free were futile. I could only lie there, shouting in despair.
Ethan took pleasure in kicking at my daughter’s urn, and he filmed my breakdown for the livestream. The more I cried, the more his audience mocked me.
"You want money? I’ll give it to you!" I yelled.
Ethan chuckled derisively. "Now you’re ready to admit you were wrong? Just a moment ago, you were all bravado, threatening to call the cops. And now you’re so eager to comply?"
"Give out your money? The funds you spent were from my boyfriend! You owe me that back!"
"Her daughter doesn’t deserve a funeral! Smash everything! Let’s see if she still has the nerve to act so defiant!"
