Chapter 101 

Ethel turned around, looking at him with confusion. Is there something you need. Mr. Thorne?” After his long silence, she hadi to break the ice. 

Hale released her hand, his gaze fluctuating. “Why did you ask Dlann to expose Cathy? What do you want to achieve?” 

So. Diana really went ahead with it? Ethel was surprised that Diana would confront Cathy on her behalf, but she was surprised that Hale would come to her about it. 

“All along, it was me who ignored you. I’ve said it many times before: If you have any dissatisfaction, come to me directly. Don’t involve innocent people. Why won’t you listen?” he continued, his tone tinged with anger, impatience, and annoyance 

towards her. 

Listening to his words. Ethel began to understand a lot. Even if Diana exposed Cathy’s fake eye condition, Hale still chose that woman. Was she the best choice for him, no matter what she did, even if she committed crimes? 

“Mr. Thorne, how dare you think I have time to be dissatisfied with you? Even if I were dissatisfied, we are already divorced, and I wouldn’t be petty enough to care,” she replied coldly. 

Her words were heavy, her eyes icy, 

Hale looked at her intensely. He had heard such words from her many times after their divorce, but every time she said it, she didn’t follow through with her actions. He didnt believe her! 

ss what he was thinking. 

Ethel Knew Hale too well. With just one change in his expression, she could guess 

Seeing that expression, a surge of bitterness welled up in her heart. 

Someone who didn’t keep their word naturally thought that others were also not worth trusting. Hale was such a person. 

“I indeed targeted her because of a personal grudge. Mr. Thorne, don’t think too highly of yourself and imagine things. The matter between me and her has nothing to do with you, Ethel retorted. 

Unmasking Cathy was not even an act of revenge. It was simply because she didn’t want her taking credit for her 

achievements. 

Her expression was cold, and her eyes even colder. 

Once upon a time, her eyes used to be filled with admiration when looking at him, but now there was no trace of him left in her heart. 

Hale clearly saw the cold, distant look in her eyes, and his chest suddenly felt stifled. 

dge do you have with Cathy?” He suddenly wanted to know. 

“What grudge 

Ethel smiled sadly. 

“What grudge?” she repeated. 

The grudge between them was indeed hateful 

Numerous scenes flashed through her mind.

Reborn Before the SAT. I Let Him Go and Took Back My Future 

With a slight simile, she didn’t want to hide anything and spoke, “She and 1. 

Before she could finish her sentence. Hale’s phone rang. 

He answered the call, and whatever was said on the other end made his expression tense. Ife said, “I’ll be right there in cold voice before hanging up. 

Ethel looked at him. 

Although she didn’t know what was sald on the other end or who called, she knew that whatever it was, it was urgent enough to make Hale leave right away. 

For Cathy, he had come here to confront her at midnight. And now, for her, he was rushing back again. 

Cathy’s life must really be extraordinary. 

“I don’t care about the grudge between you and Cathy. She’s with me now, and I will protect her!” Hale said, obviously not in the mood to continue talking to Ethel. 

After saying that, he got into his car and drove away. 

Watching the retreating car, Ethel chuckled softly. 

As she laughed, tears rolled down her cheeks, one drop after another. 

She had said before that she wouldn’t shed another tear for Hale. But when she heard him fiercely protect Cathy like this, it 

still hurt. 

With these words, he trampled on her, turning all the efforts she had made for him into a joke. 

What a joke. 

When Ethel was feeling upset, Cathy wasn’t any happier either. She lay on her bed, her beautiful face filled with sadness. 

Linda sat helplessly by her side, gently touching her forehead. “Didn’t we resolve the crisis? Why are you still feeling upset? Look, as soon as I called Mr. Thorne, he rushed over here. He’s treating you as Lipportant as before, which is a good thing, right?” 

“You don’t understand!” Cathy weakly responded. 

No one understood her thoughts. The more Hale cared for her, the more she felt like a thief, stealing someone else’s credit and enjoying it for free. 

She had always been proud and had a sense of self–esteem, and this situation was hard for her to accept. 

“It’s all your fault! Why did you persuade me to impersonate as his cornea donor? If you hadn’t come up with this idea. everything wouldn’t have turned out like this!” She growled with resentment. 

Linda’s face reddened, quickly apologizing. “I admit that it was my fault. I didn’t expect Ethel to find out and have Diana expose you. But Cathy, isn’t this matter already settled?” 

Linda didn’t know about the past between Ethel and Hale, nor did she know that for all these years, Cathy had been mistaken by Hale as the “big–eyed girl” from the past, taking Ethel’s place and enjoying the good days.

She also didn’t know that Cathy knew about all of this, 

Cathy covered her face lightly. 

She still wanted to be angry.. 

If it weren’t for Linda’s actions, she wouldn’t have been exposed by Diana, and if she hadn’t been exposed, she wouldn’t have had to impersonate the big eyed girl” herself. 

She could have continued to live with grace and pride. 

But she knew that she couldn’t get angry anymore. If she did, it would raise Linda’s suspicions, and if the past was revealed again, she would lose even more face. 

The things about Ethel being the “big eyed girl,” her being mistaken for the “big eyed girl” by Hale, and her voluntarily claiming credit for someone else’s accomplishments even her best friend Linda mustn’t know about it! 

Taking a deep breath, she looked at Linda. “I’m really sorry, Linda, I didn’t mean to get angry with you. Actually, it was for my own good that you came up with the cornea idea, wanting to help me. It was my impulsiveness and thoughtless words. Linda, you’re not mad at me, right?” 

Her tone was gentle, with a hint of pitifulness. She gently shook Linda’s arm. 

Cathy was Linda’s goddess, the most perfect image, so how could Linda be angry with her?, 

Linda shook her head, “It’s actually my fault. If I hadn’t acted on my own, you wouldn’t have faced such an embarrassing situation. Don’t worry, I will talk to Mr. Thorne and clear up the misunderstanding between you two.” 

“No, there’s no need for that, Linda. You didn’t do anything wrong.” Cathy tried to persuade her, “The situation has already turned out like this. Listen to me, don’t do anything else.” 

The more Cathy acted like this, the more guilty Linda felt, and the more determined she was to help Cathy clear her name. She didn’t say anything on the surface and stayed with Cathy for a while before leaving 

After closing the door, a faint smile of success appeared on Cathy’s beautiful and glamorous face. 

She understood Linda and knew that she would go to Hale to shoulder all the responsibility. 

Although Hale had forgiven her because she was the “big eyed girl,” this matter would still create a rift between them. 

Only if Linda took the initiative to take the blame could their relationship return to normal. 

own bad idea, not my fault,” Cathy thought to herself, believing that she had a clear sense of right “Linda, this is really your o and wrong and felt not a trace of guilt.
