Chapter 27

Bethany stared blankly at her own hand, feeling a fiery pain on her back and the burn on her chest screaming in pain.

She never thought that there would come a day when she would be treated with such disgust.

The tenderness they once showed her was suddenly withdrawn in an instant.

"Why?"

She raised her head, looked at the tall man beside her, and couldn't help but ask.

"Why, even though I kept everything well-hidden before, did you suddenly discover everything?"

Beside the artificial lake, Tony sneered, "Kept everything well-hidden? Don't be so self-righteous. The truth is, we just chose to believe you and didn't dig deeper." The next moment, he kicked Bethany straight into the lake.

Watching her struggle in the water, for some reason, he remembered the look of despair in Kate's eyes that day by the lake.

That time, they saved Bethany first, then abandoned her.

He still remembered that look clearly.

"Tony! Ethan! Help me! I don't want to die!"

Bethany kept shouting for help, not knowing how many times she cried out, but Tony remained

indifferent.

Ethan walked over. Seeing her nearly drowning, he thought of Kate's desperate look that day, and his eyes grew colder.

Just as Bethany was about to drown, he ordered a bodyguard to pull her out.

After she barely survived, before she could catch her breath, Bethany was pushed back into the

water again.

After several rounds of this, she no longer had any strength to resist, her entire being lifeless, lost to despair. Losing to My Substitute

Chapter 24

There was no point in crying for help now; it would only bring another round of torment.

She could only give up.

Seeing Bethany's lifeless appearance, Ethan waved his hand, signaling the bodyguard to release her.

Bethany lay on the ground, soaked, her hair and clothes tangled and sticking to her, no longer showing the weak, pitiful figure from before.

"I'm sorry, I really know I was wrong. Please let me go, I won't dare again."

Now, she was truly regretting it. The three brothers were devils. They were beyond anything she

could deal with or control!

No matter how hard she tried, she could never surpass the place Kate held in their hearts.

It was so close... just a little more, and she could have replaced Kate to become the most important person in their hearts.

But what she didn't understand was, why did they still refuse to let go of her even though Kate was already married, already had another man? Why couldn't they spare her a few more glances?

"What's the use of apologizing to us? The person you should really apologize to is Kate."

Ethan's eyes were cold, showing no sign of softening.

He signaled for the bodyguard to take Bethany with him and went to the mansion.

However, the cozy villa remained dark, with no lights on even in the evening.

If it weren't for confirming that Kate lived here, they would have almost thought no one resided here.

Ethan and Tony exchanged glances, both feeling the tension in their gazes.

A

Kate... She wouldn't have had an accident, right?

They almost couldn't bear to think about it, but they felt extreme hatred towards Joshua.

Why didn't he protect Kate well?

Tony and Ethan completely ignored Bethany and both spoke simultaneously:

Not knowing where Kate might be, they immediately contacted their sources for an investation.

However, before they could act, Kate's social media status was updated with a video

The caption was simple-"Honeymoon"

Upon seeing this, they almost couldn't bring themselves to open it, gripping, their phones so hard that they almost crushed them.

After a long silence, they still opened the video,

In the video, Kate was smiling sweetly, walking hand in hand with Joshua on the beach, the sea breeze blowing through their hair. The scene was warm and romantic. Though the two of them didn't do anything intimate, it gave an undeniable sense of "this is untouchable."

Boom.

Ethan was so angry that he threw his phone, shattering it instantly, but he still couldn't contain his

fury.

Tony wasn't any better. His fists were clenched tight, and he turned his gaze to Bethany, his eyes darkening.
