He Watched Me Shine Without Him novel Chapter 108

Ethan's face turned awkward.

I don't want to borrow money from other colleagues for two reasons.

First, I can't be sure they will lend me any, and second, my pride won't allow me to beg.

Rose continued, "Ethan, yesterday when Vivian misunderstood me and slapped me, you just stood there and did nothing. You were so heartless towards me. How can you have the nerve to ask me for money today?"

Ethan apologized weakly, his face pale, "Rose, I'm sorry. I just didn't want to upset Vivian; she is pregnant, after all..."

Rose replied coldly, "Every time it's between her and me, you always choose to protect her without hesitation. Since you've been so ruthless and unfeeling towards me, why do you think I would still have any lingering affection for you?"

Ethan was speechless.

"Get out of my sight. Don't ever show up in front of me again. Because you make me feel disgusted," Rose said, using the harshest words she had ever used to describe Ethan.

Ethan felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he stood there, petrified.

Rose left him with a resolute back turned.

Too embarrassed to follow her with any more shamelessness, Ethan turned away dejectedly.

At the Clarke Group, Daniel entered the CEO's office with a stack of photos, his expression grave.

"Mr. Clarke," he said.

Houston was on the phone with Rose, speaking softly, "While I'm not around, make sure you eat a good lunch. The cafeteria food will get cold if you wait too long, and takeout isn't nutritious. Go to a high-end restaurant. Don't be so frugal. If you run out of money, I'll give you more. You need to take good care of yourself and gain some weight. Understand?"

"But without you, I don't really have an appetite," Rose replied with a smile.

"I'll definitely come and have lunch with you tomorrow," Houston promised.

...

Daniel stood awkwardly to the side, unexpectedly witnessing a display of affection between the CEO and his wife.

After Houston finished his call with Rose, Daniel stepped forward. His face was extremely serious as he said, "Mr. Clarke, last night's trending topic was supposed to be suppressed, but just now, several more posts about Mrs. Jefferson appeared online. It seems that Mrs. Jefferson has offended someone who is determined to bring her down at all costs."

For years, Noah had used the guise of fatherly love to morally blackmail Mr. Clarke, forcing him to endure all sorts of mistreatment. Now that he had finally crossed Mr. Clarke's line, it seemed the days of tolerating him were over. It was time for a real, no-holds-barred showdown.
