Marrying His Nemesis: Kicking My Scumbag Fiancé Away!-Chapter 64: This Isn’t Betrayal, It’s Retribution
"Mrs. Chamberlain must have misunderstood, no?" Vice Mayor Donovan squinted his eyes, his gaze deep, "Our Diane’s boyfriend is a brilliant graduate from a prestigious overseas university."
Mrs. Chamberlain became more confused, "But didn’t Diane just have dinner with our Adrian yesterday?"
"If having a meal together makes someone a boyfriend, then... our Diane’s boyfriends could line up all the way to the gates of Zenith." Vice Mayor Donovan’s face darkened, "In the future, please refrain from making such comments. If anyone dares to tarnish our Diane’s reputation, I won’t let them off easily!"
The guests around were all seasoned individuals.
Just from hearing the few people’s conversation, they understood that the Chamberlain Family hadn’t really climbed up to Vice Mayor Donovan’s status.
"Good!" Ethan Sterling raised his right hand and loudly announced, "Since Vice Mayor Donovan has also arrived, then... tonight’s celebration officially begins! Everyone, please applaud and invite Vice Mayor Donovan to the stage for a few words."
If not for Ethan Sterling, the Donovan Family might truly have had an alliance with the Chamberlain Family through marriage.
Not only would this ruin their daughter’s lifelong happiness but also bring shame to the Donovan Family in the future.
This huge favor from Ethan, Vice Mayor Donovan obviously intended to return.
Everyone applauded in unison, and Vice Mayor Donovan smiled as he walked onto the podium.
"Thank you, President Sterling, for giving me this opportunity. I believe that under President Sterling’s leadership, Zenith Group will surely achieve great success."
This gesture already showed his stance — he sided with Ethan Sterling.
With the financial power of the Sterling Family and the city’s support...
The ultimate winner was obvious without words.
Those shareholders who were still hesitating whether to side with Ethan Sterling or Adrian Chamberlain immediately made up their minds on whom they should support.
Everyone gathered around Ethan Sterling and Seraphina Thorne, offering toasts and congratulations to the two of them.
Even those company executives who usually flattered and fawned over Adrian Chamberlain were now avoiding him from a distance.
Seeing Ethan Sterling as the center of attention, Adrian Chamberlain couldn’t stay any longer.
Placing the wine glass aside, he turned and walked out of the banquet hall.
Mrs. Chamberlain hurriedly followed, "Adrian, don’t leave. At least give Diane a call to find out what’s going on?"
On the other side of the hallway, Mrs. Donovan was just helping Diane Dawson out and also walked to the elevator.
Upon seeing Diane, Adrian Chamberlain’s eyes lit up.
It seems that the disagreement with the marriage only came from Vice Mayor Donovan.
If he could coax Diane, there might still be a chance.
Adrian Chamberlain smiled and greeted the mother and daughter.
"Diane, I thought..."
Slap!
Before Adrian Chamberlain could finish his sentence, Diane Dawson’s slap landed on his face.
"Dating an idiot like me was such a grievance for you, right? Go find that mistress who understands you in bed!"
Both angry and aggrieved, Diane sobbed and rushed into the elevator.
Adrian Chamberlain was stunned by the slap, and Mrs. Chamberlain was in shock.
"You... how can you hit someone?"
"Consider hitting you lightly!" Mrs. Donovan pointed at the mother and son, "I’m telling you, if anything happens to my daughter, I won’t spare any of the Chamberlain Family!"
Turning quickly, Mrs. Donovan hurried into the elevator.
Mrs. Chamberlain stood in place, still somewhat unable to comprehend.
Adrian Chamberlain, however, already guessed the truth.
"Felicity Shaw, you filthy bitch, just wait and see how I deal with you!"
If it weren’t for Felicity Shaw betraying him, the Donovan Family wouldn’t have treated him this way.
Those words Diane just said, he only mentioned them to Felicity Shaw.
"Who is Felicity Shaw?"
Mrs. Chamberlain wanted to ask more, but Adrian Chamberlain was already rushing into another elevator.
Before his mother could follow, he pressed the close button with a solemn expression.
Racing out of the elevator, Adrian Chamberlain drove all the way to the apartment where he had rented for Felicity Shaw.
Inside the apartment, there was no trace of Felicity Shaw, and even the luggage had been thoroughly packed away.
"Bitch!"
In anger, Adrian Chamberlain kicked the coffee table.
Bzz—
In his pocket, his phone vibrated.
Grabbing the phone without looking at the number, he answered the call.
"Say what you have to say, or else shut up!"
"Is this Mr. Adrian Chamberlain? This is Valoria Hotel. Is Felicity Shaw, staying in room 403, your friend? She drank too much, and we found your number on her phone..."
Before the other party could finish, Adrian Chamberlain had already hung up and stormed out of the apartment.
On the other end of the line.
Sean Hale looked at the darkened phone screen and curved his lips into a smile.
Checking the time, he estimated that Adrian Chamberlain had already reached near the Valoria Hotel.
Sean Hale found Felicity Shaw’s number and dialed.
"Miss Shaw, are you in the room? We’ve confirmed your video without any issues. The ticket and cashier’s check for your flight abroad are ready. Can I conveniently bring them to you now?"
Soaking in the bathtub, Felicity Shaw beamed with happiness as she climbed out.
"Sure, sure, I’m right in the room!"
"I’ll be there soon."
"Okay, see you in a bit!"
Hanging up, Felicity Shaw didn’t even have time to dress but wrapped herself in a bathrobe and walked out of the bathroom.
After waiting for days in the hotel, the money and check finally came. At this moment, her face was full of smiles.
Tomorrow morning, she could leave this ghastly place and start anew.
By then, even if Adrian Chamberlain found out that she had betrayed him, he wouldn’t be able to find her.
The door was knocked heavily; she smiled and walked over to pull it open.
Seeing Adrian Chamberlain standing outside, Felicity Shaw was stunned for a couple of seconds before panicking and trying to shut the door.
It was too late.
Adrian Chamberlain stepped forward, blocked the door with his leg, and forcibly pushed it open.
Felicity Shaw stumbled back a few steps and fell onto the carpet.
Seeing Adrian Chamberlain enter the room, she frantically got up and fled into the bathroom, locking the door.
Trembling, she grabbed her phone and dialed Sean Hale’s number.
"Assistant Hale, quickly... save me, Adrian... Adrian Chamberlain barged into my room."
"If I’m not mistaken, you’re probably hiding in the bathroom too, aren’t you?"
The melodious male voice on the phone had a hint of a smile.
Felicity Shaw recognized the voice.
"You’re Ethan Sterling?"
The bathroom door was forcefully kicked, and Felicity Shaw was so frightened her voice trembled.
"Please... save me... Adrian... Adrian Chamberlain will kill me!"
Ethan Sterling chuckled over the line.
"Miss Shaw, why do you think Adrian Chamberlain knows your room?"
Felicity Shaw paused and suddenly realized.
This room was arranged by Sean Hale; Adrian Chamberlain couldn’t know unless... someone intentionally told him.
"Did you betray me?"
Ethan Sterling calmly corrected, "It’s not called betrayal; it’s called revenge."
Felicity Shaw looked unyielding, "But... you promised... you promised to spare me."
"Did I promise you?" Ethan Sterling questioned back.
Felicity Shaw was stunned.
Thinking carefully, that night, she begged Ethan Sterling.
From beginning to end, Ethan Sterling never said he would spare her.
Felicity Shaw’s heart sank.
"You... you did it on purpose?"
"Miss Shaw, you’re indeed clever."
Ethan Sterling’s tone was just like that night.
"Now, feel the emotions Seraphina experienced that night!"
The call ended.
The bathroom door finally couldn’t hold up anymore and was smashed open by Adrian Chamberlain.
