Chapter 141 Defamation
The bathroom noises made Ashley suspicious and Ethan nervous.
"Ethan, there's noise in the bathroom. Could it be a burglar? Can you check?"
"I'll go look."
Ethan was relieved she didn't suspect infidelity. He tucked her in and headed to the bathroom.
After two steps, Ashley said, "Wait, take something for self-defense, just in case."
Ethan laughed. His villa had top-notch security, so no one could get in. Felicity's entry was likely his mom's doing. Thinking of his mom, Ethan's eyes turned cold, but softened when he looked at Ashley.
"Don't worry, no one can hurt me."
Ethan's smile turned icy as he approached the bathroom.
Inside, Felicity felt resentment hearing Ashley and Ethan's loving words. Why were they happy while she suffered in the Zito family? She wanted to drag them down with her. She knocked over toiletries, hoping to create a crisis in their relationship.
But her revenge was short-lived. Ethan approached with a chilling aura, like a vengeful spirit. Felicity turned pale and stumbled back.
Ethan's voice was cold. "You think I'm joking? Tomorrow, the Zito Group will pay."
Terrified, Felicity grabbed him. "You can't do this. You need my help. Is this how you ask for help, by threatening?"
Ethan's anger was palpable. He gripped her neck. "Keep your voice down!"
"Ethan, what's going on? I hear a woman's voice," Ashley called from outside, anxious.
Ethan's grip tightened. Felicity's face turned red as she struggled. Hearing Ashley, she shouted, "Help... help..."
"Who's shouting for help?" Ashley thought Ethan was in danger. Ignoring her plastered limbs, she moved her body, feeling intense pain.
With a thud, Ashley fell from the bed. The sound snapped Ethan back to reality. He pushed Felicity away and ran to Ashley, who was crawling towards him in pain.
"Honey!" Ethan's heart ached. He picked her up gently. "You have a cast; moving could cause complications. How could you get out of bed?"
"I was worried. I heard someone. Is it a thief? I hate that I can't move!"
"Who's in there?" Ashley looked towards the bathroom. Ethan felt guilt and panic. Before he could make an excuse, Felicity stumbled out, looking disheveled.
Before coming out, she deliberately tore her clothes and messed up her hair, making herself look like she had been assaulted. She then accused, "Ms. Wilson, control your man. He bullied me and threatened me. Look at what he did to me..."
