Chapter 176: Chapter 176

Who would’ve thought, I never expected Paige could be this fierce, taking down several men on her own.

And she was so ruthless while doing it, it was like she didn’t even see them as humans.

If I go out there now, forget about playing the hero and saving the damsel, I might just get beaten to death by Paige.

So, driven by a strong will to survive, Seth Shaw decided to leave quietly, considering the money a lost cause.

As for winning back Paige’s heart...

He’d make a long-term plan. Since he had won her heart once, surely he could do it again!

But just as he hunched his shoulders to turn away, he noticed a shadow behind him.

He looked up to see the indifferent face of Paige Sterling.

Her face carried a cold killing intent, startling Seth Shaw.

Seth Shaw forced a laugh, "Paige, what are you doing here?"

Paige pulled the corners of her mouth, but it wasn’t a smile, "What do you think?"

Seth Shaw, "We must be destined to meet, running into each other here at this hour. Paige, it’s not safe for you to go home alone, how about I walk you back?"

Paige’s response was a punch that sent him tumbling to the feet of the other men.

Upon seeing Seth Shaw, those men immediately sold him out.

"Heroine, it’s him, it’s him, he’s the one who bribed us to hassle you, it has nothing to do with us!"

"Yeah, heroine, go ahead and beat him, he’s the one who wanted us to drag you into the alley, strip you, and then he’d come out to play the hero, we didn’t do anything to you. If anyone deserves a beating, it’s him..."

At this moment, they all wanted to shift Paige’s anger onto Seth Shaw and let her beat him instead.

Otherwise, they might really get beaten to death by Paige.

Paige acknowledged with an "oh", her indifferent eyes seemed to embody Yama in everyone’s view.

"Then hold him down and give him a beating."

Seth Shaw’s eyes widened, "Paige, it’s not like that. I don’t even know them, Paige, you have to believe me, I love you so much, how could I do this to you? They’re framing me..."

Paige said coldly, "Punch him in the mouth."

To save themselves from a beating, the men dragged Seth over and started hitting him, glancing flatteringly at Paige as they did so.

Seth didn’t even have a chance to fight back, moaning pitiably.

At this moment, Paige’s phone rang.

It was Julian Hawthorne at the entrance who didn’t see Paige, so he called her.

Paige answered, and Julian heard the sounds of a fight on her end, asking, "Fighting again?"

Paige denied it, "It’s not me fighting."

Julian’s voice was already at the entrance of the alley, he saw Paige’s figure, hung up the phone and walked in.

He then saw the group beating Seth, making him unrecognizable even to his parents.

While Paige was leaning against the wall, a lollipop in her mouth, watching with interest.

Julian asked, "Still watching?"

Paige chuckled, "They called the police, so I have to wait for the police to come."

Julian flicked her nose lightly, "Enjoying being cheeky?"

Paige, "I just can’t understand why they keep picking on me? It’s making it harder for me to control myself."

Julian smiled, hearing the sound of sirens, said, "Let’s go, the police are here."

Paige responded with an affirmative sound.

At this moment, Seth Shaw, barely alive, crawled to Paige’s feet.

"Paige, I really love you, I really love you..."

Beaten so badly, yet his eyes still showed deep affection, so sincere, what an act.

Paige felt he hadn’t been beaten enough, she looked at the other men.

"What are you waiting for?"

The men, spurred by Paige’s gaze, quickly ran over and dragged Seth back for more beating.

Paige demonstrated with her actions what it meant for an ex to be a dried-up piece of shit, to be beaten at first sight.

Seth Shaw, still refusing to give up, kept shouting about how much he loved Paige.

Until his mouth was so beaten he couldn’t talk, he finally quieted down.

He really hadn’t expected that Paige could be this ruthless to him, an ex.

Indeed, when women turn cold and heartless, they truly recognize no one. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝘯𝘦𝘵

Seth Shaw felt utterly hopeless, everything he once dreamed of having within his grasp, only to lose it inexplicably, lost forever, impossible to regain. How could he not feel despair?

When the police arrived, they took the whole group away.

At the station, everyone thoroughly ratted out Seth Shaw.

So the next day Seth Shaw was trending, and the whole world knew he even resorted to such heroic rescues to win back Paige.

Unfortunately, instead of becoming a hero, he ended up being beaten like a fool.

If Seth Shaw’s love was genuine, perhaps people might’ve been moved.

But the key was no one believed it was for love. Everyone knew he was insatiably greedy, clinging to his successful ex-girlfriend by any means.

So the internet was filled with voices cursing Seth Shaw.

Not only Seth Shaw, Melody Mercer also got dragged through the mud along with him.

Paige’s current glory highlighted their downfall and disgrace.

Melody was filled with hatred, but what could she do?

She didn’t even have the qualifications to fight Paige, she could only watch as Paige basked in endless glory while she sank deeper into decline.

At this time, Skylar Hughes sought out Melody again.

Melody and Skylar had collaborated many times before.

In fact, because she had secretly followed Skylar’s advice to scheme against Paige, Skylar had even given her quite a few benefits.

But all this came to an abrupt end after Paige left the entertainment circle.

She hadn’t been in touch with Skylar in a long time.

Skylar, seeing the now downtrodden Melody, said, "Melody, you must be feeling unwilling, huh?"

Melody gave Skylar a glance, didn’t speak, but her expression had already betrayed her.

Skylar said, "Even if you are unwilling, there’s nothing you can do. She’s the heiress of VastReach Group, her father is Jared Sullivan, she can easily destroy all your years of hard work, and all you can do is accept your bad luck."

Melody, agitated, said, "Why should I accept my bad luck? What makes her so special!"

"Because she’s currently famous, while you..."

She paused here, not continuing.

Melody’s nails dug deeply into her palm.

"Paige! I won’t let her go!"

No matter if Paige was Jared Sullivan’s daughter or not, she had already reached this point, she might as well drag Paige down with her.

If she couldn’t have a good life, neither should Paige.

Jealousy truly makes a woman both crazy and endearing, and this statement holds a lot of truth.

Melody had once tasted the limelight of glory in the dazzling entertainment industry but hadn’t fully enjoyed that glory before falling off abruptly, and she blamed it all on Paige.
