Chapter 41

Ethan released Chloe, who was panting heavily, her hands clutching her neck.

"You can leave," Ethan said, trying to calm down.

Chloe looked up at Ethan abruptly, thinking he was up to something again. "What do you mean?"

Ethan remained silent with a cold and stern expression. In the brief silence, Chloe seemed to understand Ethan's intention. She grabbed his hand, full of shock and confusion. "You promised me this morning. Why-- "

Suddenly, Ethan bent down, gripping Chloe's chin with a chilling gaze. He stared at her and uttered each word coldly, "Because I find you filthy!"

His words struck Chloe like a heavy blow. Her pupils suddenly dilated, the color draining from her face. She stared at Ethan in disbelief, unable to utter a word.

A trace of disgust appeared on Ethan's face. "You better disappear from my sight quickly, or I won't mind throwing you out!"

With that, Ethan forcefully pushed Chloe away without mercy.
