I thought, "How can you make up? With your self-righteousness?"

"Ethan, let's break up."

I saw a hint of triumph flash across Linda's eyes.

Yes.

She succeeded, and I didn't want to stay with Ethan anymore.

She could stay with her.

"Julissa, can you be mature?"

Ethan shook his head in disappointment. "As Mrs. Stewart, can you be more tolerant? Don't you know that people with depression are fragile and can easily lose their minds?"

"Is there anything more valuable than life?"

His words were ridiculous.

"Well, you're right."

I hugged my mom's photo tightly and wanted to walk out without any desire to continue the talk.

Seeing that, Ethan was at a loss.

In his opinion, I never dared to treat him like this.

However, Linda was by his side.

Linda noticed that I was protective of the frame in my arms, so she immediately stopped me.

She pointed at the frame and asked, "Ethan is talking to you. Why are you in such a hurry to leave? What's that?"

"It's none of your business."

I slapped her hand away.

I wouldn't allow her to point at my mom.

"Ah!"

Linda immediately held her hand and looked at Ethan pitifully.

"Julissa, you disappoint me so much. I think I should discuss our marriage with your mom again."

Ethan held Linda in his arms, looking around.

"She's not here."

I feel ridiculous.

My mom had died, but he didn't even know it.

"It's fine if you make a scene, but you shouldn't have your mom move out. Don't you know she's ill?"

Ethan frowned and looked at me, and his eyes were full of disappointment.

I sneered and said nothing.

Seeing my expression, Ethan suddenly said in a cold voice, "Isn't she sick?"

"Ethan, I told you that they had been lying to you. Her mom pretended to be sick, and now they want to run away from home. They are trying to make you marry her."

"That old woman taught her daughter how to force you. Now, she left and wanted to blackmail you."

"They could do this because they took the chance to help you when were you in trouble."

Linda seemed to find out something and started to speak loudly.

"Slap!"

Before she finished her words, I stepped forward and slapped her.

"Julissa!"

Ethan was angry.

He walked forward and pushed me away, pulling Linda behind him to protect her.

I fell to the floor and felt dizzy.

After calming down, I endured the pain and slowly stood up.

Fortunately, my mom's photo was not broken.
