Chapter 315: You Still Don't Believe Me
Before Ethan could respond, Owen walked over with large strides towards them.
He went straight to Lindsay. Without saying a word, he directly threw away her phone.
Lindsay was stunned for a moment. Just as she was about to throw a tantrum, she realized that the person standing next to her was none other than Owen! And she was still in his territory.
So she suddenly didn't dare to lose her temper at will.
Therefore, Lindsay softened her tone and coquettishly said to Owen, "Owen, I'm sorry for ruining your mood, but..."
However, before Lindsay could finish a complete sentence, Owen mercilessly scolded her.
"Get lost!"
Lindsay was stunned again. Although she had heard before that Owen was quite aloof in the circle, she had never heard anyone say that he had such a hot temper and that he didn't show respect to anyone.
"But Owen..." Lindsay still wanted to act a bit spoiled.
Yet, Owen didn't care about her at all. He didn't even give her a chance to finish speaking and directly switched to a mocking tone.
"Who do you think you are? Did you ever look in the mirror before trying to get in with me? Do you even deserve it?"
Lindsay didn't expect that Owen, who had always portrayed himself as a noble young man in the circle, would say such harsh words to her in public. It was a complete humiliation.
She felt embarrassed and angry, her face turning red. And because she was impulsive by nature, she couldn't stand hearing such words!
"Damn it. You think highly of yourselves just because you have a little bit of money! Do you really think you're superior?" She glared at Owen fiercely, then turned to point at Vivian.
"This slut bought a whole store of clothes today just to humiliate me. But so what? I may not be as rich as her, but at least I am clean. I only have one man at a time, unlike her who juggles two. It makes me..."
However, before Lindsay could even utter the word "gross", a loud slap resounded across Lindsay's face.
Vivian even thought that it was Ethan who slapped Lindsay because she saw Ethan moving his fingers when Lindsay insulted her.
But obviously, it was Owen who acted first, being closer to Lindsay at that moment.
This slap completely stunned Lindsay.
Because her teeth had ground through the inside of her mouth, blood had started to seep out from the corners of her mouth.
Lindsay wiped the blood from the corners of her mouth and glared at Owen abruptly.
"Are you fucking crazy? What does it have to do with you if I curse this slut? Why are you more anxious than her and her husband? Maybe you are also one of her lovers. Two cousins share the same woman. You two really have surprisingly similar tastes!"
"Lindsay Aguirre!" Owen raised his hand and grabbed Lindsay's shoulders, his eyes almost burning with fire. "If it wasn't to avoid dirtying my hands, I would have torn your filthy mouth apart!"
After saying that, he turned around and shouted, "Why haven't the security guards dragged this crazy woman out for me yet?"
At this time, a man from Owen's company also hurried over.
He pleaded softly in Owen's ear, "Let's downplay this big issue. Don't make things too ugly. There are so many reporters here. We are all from the same company. It's not good to cause such a commotion."
"Humph." Owen coldly curled his lips. "If she got fired, then she won't be your company's person anymore, right? Don't provoke me, or you won't have a good outcome either."
That man didn't dare to provoke Owen and could only take Lindsay out first.
The media went crazy over this.
Because what Lindsay exposed conveyed a lot of information. Not only that, her actions also made Owen instantly change his attitude. If his fans knew that Owen, who used to be a cold and noble gentleman, suddenly turned into a sarcastic and venomous man.
He not only physically assaulted Lindsay but also very likely had an affair with his cousin-in-law. What would his fans think? Would his acting career also come to an end?
Reporters were eagerly taking photos, each wanting to secure today's exclusive news.
Some of them had started asking questions.
However, neither Vivian, Ethan, nor Owen answered.
Vivian felt that today's effect had already reached its peak due to a series of coincidences, but she didn't want to continue staying in this farce.
She glanced at Ethan, and Ethan immediately understood her intention. They were planning to leave.
So Ethan walked ahead to clear the way.
When passing by Owen, Vivian gently patted his shoulder.
She whispered, "To be honest, you did well just now. I'll leave it to you here."
And such a scene was captured by the media, soon becoming evidence of "Owen and His Cousin-in-law Vivian Having an Affair".
...
Vivian got in the car and noticed that Lindsay was still arguing with her agent outside.
Even when Ethan called her, she only casually responded.
Feeling neglected, Ethan also followed Vivian's gaze to look outside the window.
As soon as he saw Lindsay, a surge of anger rose between his brows.
He frowned at Vivian and said, "Why are you looking at her? Don't look or stay away from it. I will handle this matter myself. You don't need to worry."
Indeed, it wasn't worth looking at, so Vivian immediately withdrew her gaze.
She turned to look at Ethan and gently placed her hand on his leg, asking, "Then what do you plan to do?"
Ethan held her hand and said, "There are plenty of ways to handle it, but she won't have an easy time. That's the price she has to pay."
Vivian nodded her head. "Actually, I can't be bothered with her."
"Yes, she is just an insignificant person. But Vivian..." Ethan lowered his head and stared at Vivian, changing the subject. "I am more interested in the photo she showed earlier. Shouldn't you explain it to me?"
"Alright." Vivian immediately sat up straight and looked sincerely at Ethan. "I wanted to explain it to you at the venue earlier, but Owen suddenly appeared and interrupted me."
"Actually, that person in the photo is Sheldon, one of my good friends. I should have mentioned him to you before when we went to Miriwyth. He is the younger brother of Sally. They are a pigeon pair."
"Today, when I went to pick a dress, both of them were also there with me, and everything was going smoothly. It was that woman who suddenly appeared and wanted to snatch the dress from me. Sheldon couldn't stand it and wanted to stand up for me."
"We used to be very close friends back in school, and it was normal for us to be close. But I am a person who knows boundaries, and I don't allow him to behave that way now that I am with you. He just hasn't changed yet."
"Look, I am explaining this sincerely. You don't really believe that woman, do you? And she even said that Owen and I had an affair. Do you believe that?"
