The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 432 - 428

The atmosphere was very ambiguous. The two of them were about to kiss each other.

Suddenly, Clara seemed to have regained her wits. She abruptly raised her legs to kick Ethan off the bed. After that, she leaped and stood up.

"All men are scumbags. What’s more, you’re that scumbag Ace’s buddy. Birds of a feather flock together. You’ll only be worse than him!"

However, Ethan seemed completely unperturbed. Half sitting on the carpet, he propped his arms up and revealed a carefree smile. "I’m glad to see you have such an awareness. Keep this in mind. Don’t ever tread the path of love. This thing is devastating. One can only lead an easy life without love." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

They bade each other goodbye before they took their respective flights to fly to Sun Island, which was near Quartz Island.

They did not know that their destination was the same. They boarded the plane to the edge of Sun Island before they got a private speedboat to go to the island.

The speedboat heading to Sun Island only ran in the morning and at night. So, it would only set off for the island when everyone had arrived.

Clara arrived at the dock first, so she sat in a simple cold beverages shop. However, she became slightly impatient from the wait.

"Captain, can you set sail now? I’m in a rush!"

She was still wearing a cowboy sun hat. However, her delicate facial features were almost fully hidden by her sunglasses. Her Bohemian sling was embroidered with mysterious and wonderful patterns, which perfectly matched the blue sea and large tropical forest.

The captain was in the sailing business all year round, so his skin was rather tanned. At a glance, he was immediately charmed by that unique woman and spread his hands helplessly. "Miss, I’m sorry. I would like to set off too, but that customer paid too much, so I have to wait for him."

"How much did he pay? I’ll pay you double!"

Clara was the most adored daughter in the Blackwood family. She was never short of money, so she immediately waved her large hand. "How about this? I’ll book your boat. Refund triple the price to that person, and we’ll set off now."

"Err..."

The captain was hesitant for a while before he answered, "Let me just make a call."

After a while, the captain shrugged apologetically. "This customer seems richer than you. He said he’ll pay ten times your offer and book my boat. I hope that you’re sensible enough to give up your spot. He likes VIP service and dislikes sharing the boat."

"Who is that? How arrogant!"

Consequently, Clara became competitive. She also became curious about that man.

"Wait a moment. He’ll arrive in another ten minutes. Then, you guys can discuss whom I shall take."

"Fine. When that time comes, I’ll let you witness the power of money!"

Clara was very confident, ready to spend extravagantly to teach that insensible person a lesson.

After all, the Blackwoods were one of the eight great families in the city. They had endless properties and abundant wealth. Hence, only a few families in the entire world dared to challenge the Blackwoods.

She did not believe that she would bump into a person more powerful than her family in such a niche place. That probability was slimmer than winning the lottery.

Ten minutes later, she saw the captain assume a flattering and humble attitude in the face of a tall and sturdy man.

That man was none other than Ethan.

Well, there were only a few families that could challenge her family in the city... And... And she bumped into a person from such a family. As expected, enemies were bound to meet one way or another.

For a moment, Clara felt defeated. She lowered her head and gulped down two sips of orange juice.

The captain led Ethan to Clara and said, "Sir, this lady wants to book the boat too. I’ll take whoever offers a higher price."

"You’re very smart. Money does indeed resolve a lot of conflicts..."

Ethan was wearing a floral shirt, beach pants, and a pair of flip-flops. Although he had dressed humbly, he appeared very natural and casual, especially with the innate aura of a wealthy heir that he exuded. So, he appeared very noble and elegant. He did not at all look like a poor man.

At a glance, he saw Clara, who was sitting on a high chair, and unconsciously broke into a charming smile. "Naughty kitty, we meet again. If nothing happens between us, given our destiny, I’m afraid we’ll disappoint God."

Clara glanced at him and said angrily, "Ethan, don’t you have anything else to do? Why did you stalk me instead of coaxing Shirley?"

"I didn’t stalk you."

"Stop lying. If you didn’t stalk me, how would you know this dock and book this speedboat..."

Clara sighed, "I know I made a big joke today and sewed discord between you and Shirley. When I’m free, I’ll explain to her well. But please do me a favor and don’t mess with me today. I’m in a hurry. Can you let me have the speedboat?"

If it was someone else, she could resolve it by paying a great sum of money. However, it was Ethan. So, she soon became demotivated, as if she had lost all hope.

Not only did the Moran Group own more properties than the Blackwoods, but most importantly, Ethan was the leader responsible for the wealth of his family. The amount of wealth that he could casually manage was, in no doubt, greater than a naive rich young lady like her.

So, she could not defeat him if she wanted to resolve the issue with money. She could only admit to her defeat.

"I didn’t stalk you. I’m in a rush, too, so I need to board this speedboat."

Ethan was at a loss as he explained helplessly, "I won’t do such an outrageous and vulgar thing of stalking even if I like you. The best thing is that I don’t even like you. At least... I don’t hold any affection for you."

His statement made her feel slightly awkward.

She never flattered herself that Ethan would fall in love with her. She just thought that he was messing with her just because of what happened that morning.

However, as a woman, she still felt rather defeated when he claimed that he did not like her at all.

’Alas, am I that unattractive? I’ve been single for more than twenty years. The only love affair I had was with a liar.

’Now even a frivolous playboy like Ethan, who generally accepts all kinds of women, claims that he dislikes me! What a dent to my self-esteem!’

"I don’t know what’s on your mind, but in short... No one can go to the island I’m going if not for the invitation from its master. You’re not about to tell me that you, too, have been invited by the island’s master?"

Clara tried her best to hide her disappointment and stay calm.

"I’m not sure if he’s the island master or not, but the gathering place he gave me is indeed in this location..."

Ethan was very smart. He soon understood the whole affair, so he asked with a profound meaning, "If my guess is right, the island master that invited you is... your bestie, Joanna?"

"How did you know? She wouldn’t have invited you. That’s impossible!"

Sun Island was a sacred place where Joanna and the children could live away from the world. For so many years, she had never told anyone about this place except for Clara and her brother.

If Joanna invited Ethan, it meant that she had exposed that utopia to Ace, Ethan’s buddy.

That was impossible.

"What a coincidence! The person who invited me is Ace, my buddy!"

Ethan answered generously while Clara was still confused.

"What?"

Clara suddenly exploded in a burst of wrath.
