Three days later, there was a banquet marking my return to my family and the anniversary celebration of the Lane Corporation.
After some discussion, both families decided to combine the events,
However, no one expected a fiasco.
Luke brought reporters to the event and publicly accused Ethan of stealing me away as a mistress.
For a moment, the reporters swarmed Ethan with microphones, creating a chaotic scene.
However, before Ethan could stand up, I stepped forward to face the reporters,
“The union between the Lane and Shaw families was proper and consensual, with all paperwork in order. Where did this ‘mistress‘ nonsense come from? I urge you to speak carefully. Otherwise, the Lane Corporation’s legal department will not hesitate to take action.”
The reporters finally quieted down somewhat.
Ethan gazed at me with a doting smile. When I glanced at him, I felt the tips of my ears grow
hot.
However, Luke had prepared in advance. He displayed a slideshow of my past relationship with hin on the big screen, including secret footage he had taken of Ethan.
One video showed Ethan visiting me in the hospital last year after I was injured skiing, barely clinging to consciousness.
Another clip was from the previous year when I won an award for my jewelry design. Ethan stood in the audience, silently cheering for me.
There was also my birthday the year before that, when Ethan secretly arranged a city–wide fireworks display.
He also arranged it two years ago and last year.
Luke had captured it all.
It was no wonder he was so convinced Ethan had feelings for me.
I turned to Ethan, who had a faint blush on his usually cold face. The contrast was oddly endearing.
เ
Luke continued to accuse Ethan with passionate conviction, listing his ‘wrongdoings‘ one by
one.
I interrupted him.
“There’s only one point I want to clarify. Mr. Graham is already married, and he obtained his
1/3
marriage certificate before Ethan and I did.”
