Chapter 65: Chapter 65

The confrontation was getting heated up, and Rebecca couldn't help but pace around. The thought that she was losing her man to a peasant like Valerie made her go nuts.

“What exactly did Ethan see in her? She's not classy, she's not sophisticated. What more does he want from such a disgusting maid?”

Turning to Valerie, Rebecca yelled. “You better start talking. Both of you should explain to me what this is all about.”

Still unsettled, Rebecca sat restlessly on the couch on the left, glaring hard at Valerie, who stood in front of her. Ethan, on the other hand, was also seated but in an armchair.

“Why are you both quiet? I need an explanation of what I just saw a few minutes ago, and I need an explanation quick.” Rebecca spoke up with tears in the trace of her voice.

Valerie gulped hard. Her heart raced faster as she scratched her head. “It's… it's not what you think, ma'am.”

“Shut the f*** up, shameless tramp! I've always known that you were nothing but a h·er, but I underestimated how flirtatious you are.” Rebecca blurted out.

Tears rolled down Valerie's eyes. She slowly turned her gaze to Ethan, and saw how calm he looked. He wasn't even worried.

“Such wickedness! He's just going to sit there and let his girlfriend accuse me of something I know nothing of. He isn't even going to explain to her that I did nothing. What was I expecting anyway?”

“If you would let me, ma'am. I will explain to you what happened, this is not what it seems like. I didn't…” Valerie cried out.

Rebecca scoffed. “Shut up! What a loose woman you are! You just couldn't wait to get my fiancé drunk and throw your dirty self at him. You seduced him!”

“I didn't do that!” Valerie sniffed hard.

Rebecca turned swiftly to Ethan. “Why aren't you saying anything, Ethan? Isn't it highly time you throw this slut out of this mansion? Can't you see reasons why she's nothing but bad luck to you?”

Ethan picked up his tobacco pipe, and smoked deeply. Smoke emanated his nostrils and mouth, and he still said nothing.

“Since it has gotten to the extent of you throwing yourself at my boyfriend, I can't take it anymore. I've had enough of your madness, so you're leaving this mansion today. From now on, your contract has been terminated.” Rebecca said with so much confidence.

Valerie gasped. She felt like her world crumbled as Rebecca said those words. Likewise, she was ready to take anything, but not lose her job. “Please ma'am, I promise you, I'll take any punishment you give me, but I beg you don't terminate my contract.”

With that, Rebecca laughed victoriously. Nothing was going to stop her from getting the useless girl, Valerie, out of the mansion. “You're so dumb to think I'll still consider you. Valerie, you're not needed anymore. Your contract has been terminated.”

“Says who?” Ethan suddenly said as he popped the smoke out of his mouth straight to Rebecca's face, and she coughed slightly.

Rebecca raised her brows, confused, and reluctantly turned her gaze to Ethan. “What do you mean, Ethan?”

“How can you terminate her contract when you were not the one who had her sign the contract? If there's anyone who should have her contract terminated, it should be me.” Ethan said calmly.

Valerie sobbed. “But I did nothing wrong, President. Please don't terminate my contract.”

After a few minutes of silence, Rebecca smiled warmly. “Oh, Ethan! You never change. Now I understand you perfectly. You want to be the one to terminate her contract, right?”

Ethan snorted. “There was never a time I told you I was going to terminate the contract.”

Upon hearing that, Valerie's face brightened immediately. She quickly got up from the ground where she was kneeling. Rebecca, on the other hand, freaked out.

“What are you trying to do? Are you making fun of me? You should be apologizing to me, Ethan Davison. You just cheated on me with that thing there.” Rebecca was boiling with rage.

Ethan smiled. “I apologize for the state you found the both of us in, but the truth is that we did nothing wrong. Actually, I'm the one to blame, not Valerie.”

On hearing that, Rebecca burst into laughter, leaving Valerie and Ethan confused. “Oh, really? Do you actually want me to believe that? Do you think I'm that dumb? Of course, you want to take the blame for your mistress, right? No f****** way. I'm going to rip her head off her disgusting body.”

Rebecca rushed to Valerie, and grabbed her by the neck. She pressed her neck so hard that Valerie was choking, her long sharp nails dung into her flesh. Immediately, Ethan sprang up and rushed to her. He tried to separate them, but Rebecca was so determined to strangle Valerie. When he couldn't take it anymore, he landed a dirty slap on Rebecca's cheek.

“I said, let her go. Don't you dare hurt her.” Ethan pushed Rebecca roughly, and she fell on the hard floor while he rushed to Valerie, who was coughing helplessly. Her neck was bleeding as a result of Rebecca's sharp nails.

Shocked, Rebecca, who was sitting on the ground, groaned in pain. She was still finding it difficult to believe that Ethan actually pushed and slapped her for the very first time because of Valerie.

Kneeling beside Valerie, Ethan touched her bleeding neck with compassion in his eyes. “Are you okay?”

“Ethan?” Rebecca scoffed in shock.
