Chapter 42 Was Deliberately Pretendingl
The voices of the angry crowd suddenly stopped, and they all turned to look at Finley.
Finley’s lips curved up in a casual arc.
He said slowly, “Do you believe everything others say? If I say that this lady is the other woman who deliberately destroys other people’s relationships, and she doesn’t actually have any terminal. illness, and all she said is just to gain sympathy from others, would you believe it too?”
Everyone looked at each other, and for a moment, there was some speechlessness.
Finley said slowly, “Since you don’t know the cause and effect, don’t just follow the crowd. It’s not necessarily that the weak is right. Moreover, the weak you think of may not really be weak.”
Finley smiled meaningfully and said, “I have never seen any weak person who could, with just a few words, incite everyone to help her.”
The expressions of everyone changed all at once.
Kaylyn explained in a flustered manner, “Mr. Burnett, you misunderstood, I did not incite. everyone…”
Kaylyn hadn’t finished speaking when Finley interrupted her with a smile.
“Ms. Greer, don’t worry, I was just making an analogy and joking.”

Finley looked at her with a half–smile, “Ms. Greer, the dishes have arrived. Why don’t down and chat? I remember very well that Ella only said no, but not that she wouldn’t give it.” Moreover, the person in need of the medicine is Ella’s grandmother. If she had it, how could she not take it out?
“What if the medicine ran out or there was some other reason, and you’re crying like this… Those who know might think you’re begging for medicine, and those who don’t might think something happened to your family.”
Upon hearing Finley’s words, everyone finally snapped out of it.
“Originally, they just ran out of it, they didn’t say they wouldn’t provide the medicine… I thought they deliberately refused to give it.”

“Sure enough, without asking for the reason, she started crying. Is it because she is too anxious or too good at acting?”
“The person in need of medicine was not herself, but rather the young lady’s grandmother… Why was she so concerned about someone else’s grandmother being sick? What relationship do they have?”
Ethan furrowed his brows, his deep and mysterious gaze suddenly shifting to Kaylyn.
Kaylyn was startled, and her expression almost didn’t hold.
She suddenly welled up with tears, “Ethan, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean anything else, I just wanted to help you. I know, I’m clumsy and can’t speak well, very annoying, my existence is just a mistake…”
Kaylyn gave a sympathetic smile, “Ethan, you talk to Ms. Sutton, I won’t disturb you.”
She stood up and walked towards the door, bowing her head.
A slender figure, accompanied by an indescribable sense of desolation, evokes an irresistible. feeling of pity.
However, at some point, it started pouring rain outside.
The rain beat against the transparent glass window, emitting a dull sound.
Ethan suddenly grabbed her wrist, his handsome face tense.
“Where are you going? It’s raining outside, and considering your current health condition, you shouldn’t get wet.”
Kaylyn’s emotions suddenly became excited.
“Where I went, whether I could get rained on, whether I lived or died, had nothing to do with you!”
After saying that, she forcefully shook off Ethan’s hand and rushed out!
Ethan paused for a second in place and then followed after.
The rain outside seemed to have gotten heavier.
IF
you stand outside for a while, you will get completely soaked.
Kaylyn had just dashed out of the restaurant when she was caught by Ethan.
Ethan grabbed Kaylyn’s hand and tried to pull her back to the restaurant.
Kaylyn struggled desperately, refusing to go back.

Soon, Kaylyn and Ethan were completely soaked.
Stella watched this scene, reminiscent of a TV drama, and suddenly stood up.
Finley glanced at her, thinking that she couldn’t bear to watch the two people arguing anymore and wanted to go find Ethan.
He elegantly asked, “Do you need my help?”
“No need.” Stella walked to the window, took out her phone, and started shooting the two of
them.
Finley couldn’t help but freeze, “You…
“Of course, I took a picture of it,” Stella turned back and smiled, “This scene, whether as evidence. of infidelity or posted online, would be explosive enough, right?”
Finley couldn’t help but laugh.
Outside the window, Kaylyn’s emotions seemed to be getting more and more excited. She shouted loudly at Ethan and kept shaking her head.
Finally, Ethan seemed to lose patience and suddenly picked up Kaylyn.
Kaylyn struggled fiercely in Ethan’s arms.
Ethan said something to Kaylyn with a stern expression, and Kaylyn was momentarily stunned. Afterwards, Ethan opened the car door parked at the restaurant entrance and put Kaylyn inside.
Before long, Ethan drove away.
After the shooting was over, Stella returned to her seat and had a meal.
Finley saw her calm expression as she held the forks in her hand, without any tremor, enjoying the food. He couldn’t help but ask.
“Aren’t you sad?”
Stella took a sip of water and said lightly, “They have done even more outrageous things, I have long been numb to it.”
Finley was lost in thought.
In the following days, Stella’s life finally quieted down.
That day, she was picking out yarn to knit a scarf with Carina at the mall when a strange voice came from the side.
“Oh my,
who do I see? Isn’t this Stella?”

Stella turned her head and saw Cohen looking at her with a mocking expression.
Cohen sneered sarcastically as he caught a glimpse of the few children’s clothing bags she was holding in her hands.
“See, I knew it, you woman. You’re deliberately pretending. Let me tell you, no matter how much you pretend, Ethan and Joel won’t like you.’
“Stella. I’m telling you, it was one thing for you to act crazy and cling to Ethan before Kay came back. But once Kay returns, not just you, but everyone will have to step aside!”
Carina couldn’t listen anymore and furrowed her brows to interrupt Cohen.
“Hey, you’ve had enough.”
“Why is it enough? Don’t you even look at yourself, an unemployed housewife with no status or background, can you be worthy of Ethan?”
“You shut up,” Carina trembled with anger, I’ve never seen someone so proud of being the other woman before!”
“Who the other woman was is still uncertain,” Cohen laughed contemptuously as if he had heard a funny joke.
“Who doesn’t know that if it weren’t for Stella climbing into bed and forcing Ethan to marry her, Kay would have been with Ethan by now… She herself is shameless, the other woman, and yet she has the audacity to blame others? Truly a case of having it both ways.”
At this moment, Stella, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.
“Marriage must follow the principle of voluntary consent, and if he does not agree, we cannot obtain a marriage certificate. Since he married me, no matter how much he loved Ms. Greer in your words, it has become a thing of the past.”
Stella was much shorter than Cohen, but at this moment, she stood in front of Cohen, with no
less momentum.
She looked up at Cohen and said, “No matter the reasons or the hardships, getting involved in someone else’s marriage is being the other woman.”
