Chapter 167: Chapter 167

Paige Sterling clasped Mr. Hawthorne’s hand, interlocking their fingers tightly in front of Seth Shaw, making her intentions unmistakably clear.

Seth Shaw was deeply hurt, "Paige, I don’t believe you’ve forgotten our relationship, I can’t believe you’re such a fickle woman! This must be a man you found to make me angry, right? You’re not really with him, right?"

Paige felt like laughing.

Seth Shaw’s logic must have been nurtured in some remote corner, what a bizarre reasoning!

Julian Hawthorne’s expression was solemn as well. He opened the car door, got out, and then punched Seth Shaw hard.

Seth Shaw was knocked to the ground.

Julian Hawthorne continued, giving Seth Shaw another punch in the jaw, grabbing his collar, coldly asking, "Who’s fickle?"

Seth Shaw shivered as he looked at Julian Hawthorne, "Y-you can’t hit people!"

Julian Hawthorne gave him another punch on the other side, "Who’s fickle?"

Seth Shaw was truly scared, if this continued, he’d lose all his teeth, "I’m fickle."

Paige couldn’t help but twitch her lips.

Only then did Julian Hawthorne release him coldly, "If you can’t speak properly, then don’t come out and speak at all."

Seth Shaw was filled with grief and indignation, "Who are you! How dare you hit me!"

Julian Hawthorne looked at Paige Sterling, "Mrs. Hawthorne, who am I to you, are you not going to say something?"

Paige Sterling touched her eyebrow, "Husband..."

Julian Hawthorne patted her head, "Good, let’s go."

Paige nodded, and before getting into the car, she turned to look at Seth Shaw once more, then punched the car door.

The car door instantly had a dent shaped like her fist.

Seth Shaw was dumbfounded.

Then Paige looked at Seth Shaw, "When I told you not to come looking for me, I meant it. If it happens again, that car door shape will appear on you."

She said, "I’m really serious. Ex-boyfriend, if you want to live a little longer, be smart about it."

"Paige! Don’t leave! I’m begging you, I love you, I can’t live without you..."

This emotional confession utterly disgusted Paige Sterling.

Just then, another more furious voice rang out.

It was Melody Mercer. She came with a gloomy face, "Seth Shaw, I have nothing left—my career, my future—all because of you, how could you do this to me!"

Paige Sterling glanced at Melody Mercer, "You two best have a good chat, after all, true love shouldn’t be so fragile that it becomes a joke."

Melody Mercer’s gaze fell on Paige Sterling, looking very complicated.

She once thought she’d trampled Paige underfoot, but Paige quickly turned the tables on her.

Paige Sterling seemingly ignored her complicated look and got in the car.

Julian Hawthorne drove away, the car quickly disappearing into the distance.

Seth Shaw looked at Melody Mercer with anger on his face.

"Melody Mercer! Who asked you to come?"

"If I hadn’t come, you’d continue to make a fool of yourself?"

"Make a fool? I made a mistake, I was here to ask for Paige’s forgiveness! It’s all because of you, if it wasn’t for seeing you, Paige wouldn’t have left in anger! You bitch! Why do you keep haunting me?"

"I’m a bitch? Seth Shaw, you’re even worse!"

Then the two of them started hurling insults at each other, ending up in a full-blown fight.

This particular parking spot was quite secluded, so no one noticed.

This was why the two dared to vent their dissatisfaction here.

But it so happened that as Paige Sterling arrived, someone else came to get their car, saw Paige, and instinctively took out their phone to film.

Unexpectedly, they recorded the entire scene of Seth Shaw and Melody Mercer’s argument.

The person who filmed it was thrilled and after the argument was over, quickly processed the video and uploaded it online.

"Check this out! Seth Shaw got rejected by God Sterling, then Melody Mercer showed up, and the two ended up in a full-blown fight."

Seth Shaw and Melody Mercer once again trended on social media. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝙣𝙚𝙩

The whole internet was in a state of sneering mockery.

"Ha, these two really are shameless enough, no wonder they ended up together in the first place. God Sterling must really thank their ’true love’, otherwise how could she have gotten rid of such trash."

"God Sterling is truly powerful and impressive..."

"But God Sterling said she’s already married, so who was that guy who got out and hit Seth Shaw? God Sterling’s husband?"

In the video, Julian Hawthorne was only captured from behind, but even that view looked impressively handsome.

"Oh my, what kind of man can handle such an impressive God Sterling? It feels man is something else as well."

Online discussions were rampant, but Paige Sterling remained silent; with only Seth Shaw and Melody Mercer, how much attention could they draw? The matter naturally dissipated quickly.

Seth Shaw started confessing and apologizing daily on Weibo, expressing his love for Paige Sterling.

People who didn’t know better really thought he was deeply in love with Paige.

But this strategy didn’t move the viewers; instead, it grossed them out, totally ruining his already-frail public image.

One day, Paige Sterling went to the Chambers Family to see her uncle, but outside the house, in a small park, she heard rustling sounds from the bushes.

She vaguely recognized a familiar voice.

Paige thought it sounded like Burt Chambers, so she raised an eyebrow and walked over.

Parting the waist-high bushes, she looked inside and saw Burt Chambers.

Burt was looking rather sleazy, holding a girl in his arms.

The girl was still in her school uniform, clearly a high schooler.

She bashfully resisted Burt Chambers’ advances.

"What are you doing? You said you had something to tell me, just say it without all this touching."

Burt Chambers, like a sleazy scoundrel, said, "Just let me kiss you..."

The girl refused, but after Burt coaxed her with sweet talk for a while, she shyly agreed.

So Burt kissed her for what felt like a long time, and Paige even looked at her watch to time him.

You wouldn’t think that this usually weak-looking guy had such good lung capacity, managing to kiss her for almost six minutes without letting go.

Unable to watch any longer, Paige parted the bushes and walked over.

The girl saw her first, flushed with embarrassment, and quickly pushed Burt Chambers away.

Burt Chambers turned to look at Paige, looking as though he’d seen a ghost! "Paige Sterling, why are you here?!"

Paige Sterling let out a cold laugh, saying nothing.

That look made Burt Chambers’ legs go weak.

"Why are you spying on my privacy?"

Paige waved her phone, "Young man, not only did I spy on your privacy, but I also recorded it."

Burt Chambers and the girl both turned pale.

Burt cautiously asked, "What do you plan to do with that recording?"

Paige coldly chuckled, "You’re quite skilled at taking advantage of girls at your age."

Burt defended, "What do you mean taking advantage? It was consensual!"

"Consensual? Fine, I’ll tell Uncle, let them arrange a marriage for you, and when you’re of age, you can get married."

The girl’s face turned red, shyly glancing at Burt Chambers, then said to Paige Sterling, "Thank you, sister, we..."

Burt Chambers’ face turned even paler.

He hurriedly said to Paige, "Paige Sterling! What nonsense are you talking about? Who wants to marry her, I’m just playing around!"

Paige turned to the girl, "You heard him, he’s just playing around with you, never intending to take responsibility. Why don’t you keep your distance from such trash?"

Burt Chambers instinctively uttered those words, and upon seeing the girl’s teary eyes, he felt awkward.

The girl, seeing his guilty look, began crying and ran away.

Burt Chambers was even more embarrassed, "Paige Sterling, why are you ?"

She even meddled in his flings, stricter than his own mom!
