Chapter 1148
“Trey may be targeting Khloe, but don’t your people always say that every debt has its debtor? if you want revenge, then you should go after him. Why target me instead? What’s wrong with helping my fiancé?”
Ariana had no other choice. She forcibly swallowed her anger and tried to reason with Ethan.
“Oh? You want to argue logic with me?”
Leaning against the wall, Ethan narrowed his eyes at the disheveled woman on the floor.
Before she could answer, he lazily continued, “Every debt has its debtor? Then why did Trey drag Nick into this while going after Khloe? They’re husband and wife. Nick is sick, too. Isn’t what Trey did shameless enough to deserve death?”
“But-”
“No more ‘buts.’ I already told you long
Trey is the truly despicable one. He betrayed Khloe first. Even if you
argue with me for ten thousand years, it won’t change the fact that Trey wronged Khloe!
“And if we’re talking about helping evil thrive, then you’re the one doing exactly that. Khloe has already been more than polite to you. If it were me, I wouldn’t bother giving you the chance to get away from a scumbag. I’d have killed the two of you outright!”
His blunt tirade drained the color from Ariana’s face.
He had been holding that in for a long time. Ever since he’d tried to kindly warn her before, only to get beaten for it, he’d never managed to let the resentment go.
If Khloe hadn’t specifically instructed him to treat Ariana politely and avoid causing trouble, he would’ve cursed Ariana out long ago.
There were countless men in the world. Yet, she had chosen the absolute worst one.
Honestly, maybe she hadn’t even been brainwashed at all.
No matter how skilled Trey was at deceiving women, someone still had to willingly fall for it. Ariana had chosen
him herself.
To her, principles, morality, right and wrong-none of it mattered more than satisfying her own desires.
“Ethan, stop pretending. You don’t dare hurt me after kidnapping me because even Khloe knows I’m not someone you people can afford to offend. You only want to use me to threaten Trey. Fine, I’ll agree to your terms. As long as you let me go, I can persuade Trey… to let everything between him and Khloe go.”
Ariana clenched her fists tightly. Lowering her head, a trace of unwillingness flashed through her eyes, but in the end, she abandoned her pride,
Right now, protecting herself mattered most.
What if Ethan and Khloe really had gone insane enough to hurt her?
“You think your word means anything?” Ethan scoffed with a grin. “But even if it did, who told you Khloe wants
to let things go with Trey? Didn’t you understand? Khloe is settling accounts with you people now. Honestly, you should be grateful you’re locked up here. If you were still by Trey’s side right now, you probably wouldn’t be getting treated this well.”
The moment he finished speaking, Ethan turned to leave.

Ariana lunged forward at once, struggling to grab hold of his pant leg with both hands.
“Ethan, you can’t treat me like this!”
“Can’t? Why not?”
“You-”
“Oh, because you’ll keep screaming all night?” Ethan interrupted casually. “That’s fine. Starting today, I’ll just sleep in another room. And until you calm down, you’re not leaving this room.”
He bent down slightly and gently pinched Ariana’s soft cheek, teasing her as if she were some mischievous kitten. His tone was light and almost gentle.
The humiliation was unbearable.
Furious, Ariana opened her mouth and tried to bite his hand.
But he dodged away instantly.
“I don’t mind physical contact with women,” Ethan said as he stepped back, “but you’ve had far too much contact with Trey. I’m afraid of catching bacteria.”
The second he finished speaking, he ran off without giving Ariana another chance to react.
The door was locked again from the outside.
This time, no matter how hard Ariana pounded on the door or struggled in protest, no one responded.
Early the next morning, when the maid opened the door, Ariana had already fallen asleep, curled up on the carpet beside the entrance,
