Chapter 19 

But before he could reach Sophia, Troy blocked him. 

“Sophia, he’s approaching you for the Fuller family. Trust me, come with me–only I won’t hurt you!” 

Seeing his desperate expression, Sophia found it almost laughable. 

All the pain she had suffered came from Ethan, yet he still had the audacity to claim he wouldn’t hurt her. 

Hearing this, Troy laughed out loud. 

“Nephew, have you no shame left?” 

Ethan’s face instantly darkened, his words becoming sharper. “Troy Fuller, the Fuller family doesn’t recognize you. If you’re trying to use Sophia, don’t blame me for what happens!” 

He reached for Sophia’s wrist. 

Sophia quickly pulled away. 

Ethan’s hand froze in mid–air, his face suddenly turning deathly pale. 

“Babe, I have so much to tell you…” 

Sophia raised her eyes to look at him. “But I have nothing to say to you. Ethan Fuller, my fake death wasn’t because of jealousy or those videos–it was a decision I made long ago.” 

“Ethan, I don’t love you anymore. Understand?” 

Ethan didn’t understand. How could the person who had always followed him suddenly stop loving him? 

He stubbornly waited outside Sophia’s house until Meredith called the police to remove him. 

Sophia often visited the exhibition hall, and Troy couldn’t always accompany her. Fearing his prize would fly away again, he stationed his men outside, putting up a sign: “Dogs and Ethan Fuller Not Allowed.” 

Meanwhile, across the ocean, Wade Fuller–beaten half–paralyzed by Ethan–was dumped at his front door. The Fuller family was furious, demanding Ethan appear. 

Samuel Fuller called repeatedly until Ethan had no choice but to return home to handle the situation. 

Before leaving, he sent a letter to Sophia’s studio. 

When Sophia saw the sender’s name, she had someone throw it in the trash. 

A phone call came, and Sophia glanced at it before answering. 

“The fish took the bait. Let’s begin.”

Those responsible for what happened years ago–she wouldn’t let any of them escape. 

Wade Fuller had hidden for years but finally decided to stop running! 

Upon returning, Ethan was overwhelmed dealing with the Fuller family mess while also countering Troy’s moves. 

During Ethan’s absence, Troy had made significant inroads against his interests. 

Meanwhile, Sophia had all her collected evidence delivered to the police. 

That night, the Fuller mansion erupted in wailing and shouting. 

“Brother, I don’t care! He’s my only son!” 

“If he dies, I won’t live either! I’ll die at your doorstep! Then we’ll see how your bastard stepson treats us!” 

Ethan’s mother watched the woman kneeling before Samuel with a strained expression. 

She quietly slipped away to make a phone call. 

But seeing his mother’s name on the screen, Ethan immediately hung up. 

He had already let Wade go once for his mother’s sake. 

Just that once–enough to haunt him for a lifetime! 

Drunk on alcohol, Ethan’s mind was filled with images of Sophia. 

When Veronica arrived, the front door stood wide open. 

She stared resentfully at the face she had loved through two lifetimes. 

She couldn’t understand why things were different this time. 

Before, Ethan had been willing to abandon Sophia to escape with her. 

This time she’d been slightly greedier–wanting both the man and the status. 

As a result, she’d lost his love. 

Veronica angrily approached Ethan. The once–graceful fingers were now missing one. 

Since his return, he hadn’t asked about her once. She had endured terror in the hospital, suffering nightmares. 

He had left the country without a word, and now he was drinking himself into oblivion, calling Sophia’s name. 

Veronica concealed a knife behind her back as she slowly approached him. 

Ethan looked up in a daze, gazing at Veronica with deep affection, as if hallucinating. 

“Babe!”

He grabbed Veronica, pressing hot kisses against her neck. 

Veronica froze, then embraced him with tears in her eyes. 

The knife clattered to the floor. 

That night, Ethan was like a wild beast, causing her pain, but Veronica felt his intense love again after so long. 

Early the next morning, as Veronica’s hand reached for Ethan’s waist, he violently pushed her away. 

She was caught off guard by his bloodshot, icy stare. 

“Get out!” 

“Who gave you permission to climb into my bed!”
