Hot-Spring Confession: He Kissed Her, I Canceled The Wedding Novel

Three days later , Ethan showed up at the Sullivan Building . He barged straight into my office , his eyes bloodshot . Luke had been by my side these past few days . He immediately stepped in front of me . " Mr. Hawkins , you're not welcome here . " Ethan's gaze never left me . " Why did you hide this from me ? Six years ! Vee , do you think I'm an idiot ? " I motioned for Luke to step outside . The office was now just the two of us . I looked at him calmly . " My dad never approved of you . He was afraid you'd get close to me for my money . " Ethan's expression shifted .

I continued , " I've fought with my family for you countless times . I even cut ties with them for six months to be with you in there . " He froze . " You mean that six months ... " " Yes , it wasn't just a little argument . It was a complete break ." I walked over to the window , looking down at the steady flow of people below . " Before the listing , my dad talked to me . He said if you treated me well after you succeeded , he'd approve of you . " I let out a bitter laugh . " I swore to him that you'd propose . " I turned and looked at him . " But I lost that bet .

" Ethan staggered back a step . " I didn't know ... If I had known ... " " You would've acted better ? " I cut him off . Just then , the door opened , and my dad stepped in . He gave Ethan a cold look . " I gave you a chance . But you chose Samantha . " Ethan urgently tried to explain , " Samantha and I really just- " " Just what ? " Samantha suddenly burst in . Her makeup was disheveled , and her eyes were wild with anger . " Ethan ! I knew you'd come to her ! " Ethan snapped , " How did you get in here ? " Chapter 7 77.78 % Samantha pointed at him , crying , " I've given so much for you !

You promised you wouldn't betray me ! " Ethan finally exploded . " When did I ever say that ? This was all in your head ! " Samantha screamed , " That night you kissed me ! You said if the company survived , you'd be with me ! " I sneered . " Seems like Mr. Hawkins has made a lot of promises . " Ethan panicked . " Vee , that was just the ramblings of a drunk man ! " Luke walked in , holding a tablet . " Looks like everyone's here . Take a look at this . " The tablet displayed suspicious financial records from Hawkins Industries . Luke raised an eyebrow . " Mr.

Hawkins , embezzling project funds , tax evasion ... Looks like you're pretty familiar with these tricks . " Ethan's face turned pale . " Where did you get this ? " My dad slammed his hand on the desk . " Enough ! Ethan , you've not only humiliated my daughter emotionally , but now you've ruined the company as well ! " Samantha suddenly burst out laughing . " Karma ! Ethan , this is your karma ! " She turned to me . " Miss Sullivan , I admit I was jealous of you . But I hate him more ! He gave me hope , and I spent nights drinking with him , all for him .

And now he's groveling like a dog , begging you to take him back ! ! hate him ! " Ethan shouted at her , " Samantha , shut up ! " Samantha gave a hollow laugh . " Fine , I'll shut up . But Ethan , you'll regret this . " With that , she turned and ran . Ethan moved to follow , but then stopped . He looked at me , his eyes filled with desperation . " Vee , give me another chance . I know I've messed up . I shook my head . " It's too late . " Luke shook the tablet in his hand . " These pieces of evidence should be enough to keep you locked up for a few years . " Ethan's eyes widened .

" Are you going to report me ? " My dad's voice was cold . " You have three days to turn yourself in . If not , don't blame me for taking further action . " Chapter 7 77.78 % Ethan looked at me , then at my dad and Luke . He suddenly laughed . " So this is the game you rich people play ? A test ? You want to watch me perform like a clown ? " I remained calm . " It's not the game . You just couldn't pass the test . " He glared at me . " Vee , after six years , did you ever really love me ? " I paused for a moment , then responded softly , " I did . But it's dead now .

" He nodded slowly , his eyes growing colder . " Fine . Miss Sullivan , congratulations . You've passed the test and seen the real me . " He turned and walked toward the door , pausing just before leaving . " But don't think the Sullivan family is going to have it easy . " Luke smiled lightly . " We'll see . " Ethan slammed the door behind him . The office fell into complete silence . My dad patted my shoulder . " Now , it's time to clean up the mess . " I looked out the window , watching as Ethan's figure awkwardly climbed into a taxi . This six - year - long dream had finally shattered .
