I'm the Obsession of My Cold-Hearted Ex novel Chapter 123

Chapter 123 Silence is Golden

*Finished

The others were baffled, wondering what Morty had done to offend Easton. Under the scrutiny of many eyes, Morty casually lifted his glass. “Today’s a good opportunity to apologize. I shouldn’t have spoken out of turn, asking you about your rumored divorce from Ellis. Here’s to your freedom from misery!”

Upon hearing this, everyone except Victoria was visibly shocked, then nodded as if it made perfect sense.

Why would Easton need Ellis when Victoria is back!

Given Ellis’s unrefined demeanor–always following Easton around more clingily than a band–aid, lacking in sophistication. and certainly not holding a candle to the deep connection Easton and Victoria shared–it was no contest.

After the initial surprise, everyone raised their glasses, voices overlapping with congratulations.

*Great

to hear, Ellis was such a sore sight, cheers to you dropping that dead weight!”

“Ellis wasn’t worthy of you. Congrats on being single again!”

As the congratulations poured in, they gradually noticed Easton’s expression darkening, his eyes filling with icy fury directed at Morty.

The mood shifted palpably, and everyone quickly shut up, placing their glasses back down and pretending they hadn’t just congratulated him. In the eerie quiet that followed, a bottle of liquor suddenly hurled toward Morty.

Caught off guard, everyone froze, wondering if Morty would end up dead at Easton’s hand tonight.

In moments of danger, people often tap into unexpected potential. With the bottle about to smash his head, Morty dodged swiftly.

A second later, the bottle shattered on the floor, its contents spreading everywhere.

Still in shock, Morty saw Easton rise, towering over him with the demeanor of a ruler passing judgment, “If you want to die, 1 won’t stop you!”

His chilling voice echoed through the booth, leaving everyone in silent horror.

earth has Morty done to enrage Easton to this extent, to make him wish death upon him?

And Easton’s actions showed no regard for their childhood friendship–he was serious.

Victoria, witnessing Easton’s rage for the first time and fearing for herself, didn’t rush to defend Morty

Thus, when Morty looked to her for support, she pretended not to notice.

“Easton, aren’t you…” Morty maintained a composed demeanor, trying to defuse the tense atmosphere.

But Easton cut him off, slowly scanning everyone present before saying coldly. “Forget everything Morty said tonight. No one

is to mention whether Ellis and I are divorcing in front of me again! Mention it, and you’ll end up like Morty!”

“And that includes what you all just said!”

She stood up, speaking softly, “Easton, don’t be mad at Morty. You know him; he meant no harm; he was just happy for you.”
