CHAPTER 17: CHAPTER 17: I’M THE ONE WHO FINDS HIM FILTHY

Each word nearly struck Ethan Hawthorne in the chest, bouncing right on his thunder points!

Even in his dreams, Ethan Hawthorne never anticipated that the always meek and bullied Sabrina Hayes would actually dare to insult him like this.

For a moment, he found it hard to believe, and after widening his eyes for a few seconds, he erupted in fury.

This vile woman, how dare she vilify him like this?

"Sabrina Hayes, who are you calling trash? How dare you???"

Sabrina wasn’t afraid at all, looking at him with disdain in her eyes, she continued, "A brainless idiot who can’t make judgments, calling you trash is too mild; you’re just a pathetic worm, hiding in the shadows, coveting Brooke Sinclairs while watching her flaunt loving gestures with your brother.

You’ll spend your whole life living in your brother’s shadow!"

Ethan Hawthorne was so angry that his brain went numb when he heard these words.

This woman... Is she really Sabrina Hayes?

Before, regardless of how sarcastic and insulting he was, Sabrina would just swallow the insults or simply avoid him.

But now, she’s become so sharp and eloquent!!!

Has she lost her mind???

The crucial point is, wasn’t Sabrina madly in love with his brother?

How could she speak of his brother and Brooke’s lovey-dovey actions like this?

Was she overcome with jealousy and rage?

Though he couldn’t comprehend it internally, it didn’t stop Ethan Hawthorne from being furious.

He pointed at Sabrina Hayes and cursed, "Sabrina Hayes, what do you think you are to dare teach me a lesson?"

Ethan Hawthorne has always been rebellious; due to his superior family background and being pampered by his family since childhood, along with his decent abilities, he held a prestigious position among the affluent young men of Veridia, second only to Jordan Hawthorne.

Usually, when people saw him, they tried to curry favor; never before has anyone humiliated him like this?

Sabrina Hayes, this woman is simply audacious!!!

In the midst of his fury, Ethan Hawthorne spoke even more recklessly, "And you talk about others being pathetic? Look at yourself, exhausting yourself to heal my brother, marrying him, working hard at the company, yet has he given you even a glance?

Brooke is different; with just a phone call, she can make him come to her... Lately, he’s been staying over at Brooke’s place, right; you have witnessed it at home, haven’t you?"

There’s no denying that his words really hit the heart.

Even though Sabrina Hayes told herself she doesn’t care anymore, her face still was grim.

Ethan Hawthorne saw it and suddenly felt less angry, his expression filled with ridicule, "Sabrina Hayes, compared to me, you are even more of a failure! Can’t even keep an eye on your own husband, you’re truly a waste! Just wait, my brother will soon kick you out, and then I’ll see how you shamelessly beg him not to divorce!!!"

After saying these words, he laughed triumphantly.

Sabrina Hayes looked at his smug face, but her expression barely changed.

Beg Jordan Hawthorne?

Hah, she didn’t want Jordan Hawthorne anymore, so why would she beg him?

In the past, she indeed failed in some aspects, the emotions she invested were all fed to dogs.

But at least she has some dignity, knowing when to cut her losses!

Sabrina Hayes looked at him with pity, "Indeed, I’m not as good as you! Sycophancy to your level is rare in the world; you can continue with your laughable thoughts, continue guarding blindly, waiting for the day Brooke gives you a glance.

Moreover... it’s not your brother who kicked me out, it’s me who found him filthy, do you understand?"

After saying these mocking words, Sabrina Hayes didn’t want to waste any more words with him and quickly left with Zara.

Ethan Hawthorne stood behind cluelessly, "Sabrina Hayes, what the hell do you mean?"

What does ’found him filthy’ mean?

Could it be, this woman is giving up on his brother?

No... that’s absolutely impossible!

Everyone who knows her knows she loves Jordan Hawthorne absolutely to death, she will never ever let go!

That just now must’ve been mere bravado!

...

After coming out of the mansion, Sabrina Hayes took Zara back with her.

Her mood wasn’t affected by Ethan Hawthorne’s provocation.

But she felt a bit sad about the jade pendant that grandma gave her being taken away.

Yet she doesn’t regret it; the marriage must end.

But... When exactly will Jordan Hawthorne be back?

At this moment, in Nancress.

Inside an elegantly atmospheric café.

Brooke Sinclairs had just finished meeting a client and was sitting with a face full of dismay.

Jordan Hawthorne came to pick her up, and as soon as he entered, he saw her dejected appearance.

He walked quickly to her side and sat down, concerned as he asked, "Why this expression? Was the meeting with Chairman Coleman not going well?"

Brooke’s eyes glistened with tears, looking up at him with what seemed like a huge grievance, her mouth quivering a few times, wanting to speak but unable to.

She looked as pitiful as could be, as pitiful as could be!

"What happened?"

Jordan Hawthorne furrowed his brows, his expression growing more tense, "Did Chairman Coleman give you a hard time?"

Brooke shook her head, her voice choking and pitiful as she said, "No... It’s my own issue! I’m sorry, Jordan! I’ve betrayed your trust, couldn’t keep Chairman Coleman!

Earlier, I already sincerely apologized to him, but he still said because of Hawthorne Group’s negligence, the system submitted had vulnerabilities, forcing their planned batch of medical equipment to be delayed for delivery, so he won’t cooperate with us anymore!

I’m truly useless, can’t even muster that bit of persuasion, even though I expressed willingness to compensate their loss with sincerity, yet they still wouldn’t budge..."

Finished with her self-blame, tears ’brushed’ falling from her eyes.

Jordan Hawthorne was taken aback, instinctively comforting, "Don’t cry..."

Brooke Sinclairs seemed deeply hurt, yet pretended to be strong, biting her lower lip, saying, "Jordan, should I not have taken this position? Everything was fine when Sabrina managed it, there were no issues, but once I took it over, clients started leaving...

They seem to have issues with me, are they thinking I pushed Sabrina out?

Or... Should I go back and apologize to Sabrina, return the director position to her?

As long as she comes back, perhaps the current situation won’t occur!"
