Revenge on My Heartless Husband and Daughter (Tiffany) novel Chapter 225

As a last resort, I looked to Richard for help, but he wasn’t looking at me. Instead, he was staring at the door with a look of anticipation on his face. My gaze swung to see what had caught his attention.

When I saw who it was, my body tensed.

Alexander strode into the restaurant, his face cold, and his hands clenched at his side. It looked like he was preparing himself for battle.

Crap.

The last thing I wanted to do when I was being forced to have breakfast with my ex–husband was face the man who I had made out with last night. How was I going to navigate this awkward situation? I would rather be anywhere else in the world right now.

As my heart pounded against my ribcage, I tried to pull my hand out of Ethan’s strong grip again, but he held on tight.

“Are you only trying to get away from me now that your little boyfriend has made an appearance?” Ethan hissed. “Are you afraid that we are going to make him jealous?”

I glared at him. “In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been trying to get away from you since you forced me down here,” I hissed at him, trying to put all the hatred that was bubbling inside of me behind my words.

“Ethan, is there any point in forcing Olivia to have breakfast with you?” Alexander asked in a cold, calm voice. “Are you that starved for company?”

I bit my lip so I wouldn’t laugh out loud. Relief flooded through me when I realized that Alexander could tell that my ex–husband was making me do this, and I wasn’t having breakfast with him or holding his hand because I wanted to. I wanted to smile because of how well

Alexander knew me.

“I have a question for you, Mr. Green. Why do you want another man’s wife?” Ethan questioned and raised his eyebrows.

A muscle in Ethan’s neck bulged, and he glowered at me. “Watch yourself, Olivia. If you want to play in the big leagues, you might get burned.”

I rolled my eyes. “That doesn’t even make sense,” I snapped.

Alexander chuckled under his breath.

I knew that it wouldn’t be smart to make an enemy out of Ethan. He had connections with powerful, dangerous people. But at that moment, I didn’t care. I had been pushed to the edge too many times by him.

“Look at what you did,” Alexander said to Ethan and gestured to me. “You drove a woman who once loved you to say these hurtful things. You’re pathetic.”

Ethan’s hands clenched on the table. But Alexander wasn’t done yet.
