Zachary stared at Ethan as though he was looking at a fool.
His gaze seemed to be saying that Ethan had no right toment about his matter.
Ethan looked slightly sulky. He had expected Zachary to argue with him, but he hadn''t expected him to be this indifferent. Zachary even seemed like he couldn''t care less to entertain him.
It made Ethan feel like a clown trying to please his audience.
Ethan red furiously at Zachary before turning to look at Anya. "Pretty, this man hasn''t divorced and has hooked up with his wife''s best friend. He doesn''t deserve you."
Anya was shocked. "Does he have a wife?"
She looked at Zachary in disbelief.
Zachary rolled his eyes and thought, "Keep going with your act."
Seeing that Anya didn''t know about all this, Ethan was instantly pleased. Then, he briefly talked about Zachary being a boy toy who leeched off his wife for five years and also hooked up with Ellen.
Of course, he had exaggerated when he told the story about Zachary.
Anya listened to him and turned pale. She gently bit her lower lip and looked as though she had been deceived by a jerk.
She said, "Zachary, I can''t believe this is the kind of person you are!"
Ethan smiled. "Pretty, it''s not toote for you to know now. A man like him..."
Anya pressed on and asked, "After everything you''ve said, do you have proof? I don''t think he''s like what you''ve said."
"Proof?" Ethan sneered. First, he looked at Zachary, who pretended to look calm. Then, he turned around and pointed at Wendy.
"She is Wendy Jennings, Zachary''s current wife. You can ask the two of them if you don''t trust me. You can confront them!"
Anya asked confusedly, "Is she Zachary''s wife? Why is she alone with you then?"
Ethan panicked for a second. "We... We''re colleagues. It''s the weekend, so we''re out shopping and having a meal together."
"Since you know your colleague has a husband, why are you eating alone with her? Aren''t you afraid her husband might feel jealous if he finds out? Isn''t itmon sense for someone to keep a distance from a married woman?" Anya questioned.
A look of disdain shed across Anya''s eyes. She continued to ask, "Did you do this on purpose? Did you deliberately flirt with a married woman to make her husband jealous and ruin their rtionship... so that you can take over his position?"
"Hey, gold digger. What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think I have to rely on others like you do? I''m capable and have good looks. I..." Ethan refuted.
It seemed like Anya had exposed Ethan''s despicable intentions. His expression changed instantly.
He pointed at Anya and kept scolding her.
However, Anya stood up calmly before taking the half cup of juice and sshing it on Ethan''s face.
Ethan shuddered when the icy cold juice sshed on him.
His eyes widened in shock. "How dare you!"
He then raised his hand angrily to p Anya.
Just as he lifted his arm, Zachary swiftly stood up and held it.
Ethan kept struggling until his face flushed red, but he couldn''t free himself from Zachary''s grip.
He looked ferocious as he yelled, "Zachary, what the fuck are you doing?"
"She isn''t someone you can mess with!" Zachary warned.
Zachary''s gaze was icy as he exerted force. In an instant, Ethan stumbled backward and slumped to the ground.
This scene caught the attention of the customers in the restaurant. Everyone looked over. Ethan''s face was livid, and he looked extremely sulky.
He wanted to make a move and
teach Zachary a lesson, but thetter was much stronger than him. He would be at a disadvantage if they were to fight.
"Ethan, are you okay?" Just then, Wendy, who looked worried, stood up and came over to help him up.
Ethan smiled bitterly. "Wendy, I''m okay. I wanted to help you persuade Zachary, but I..."
"Don''t worry. I won''t allow anyone to hurt you!" Wendy''s gaze turned icy.
She strode toward Zachary, raised her arms, and pped him.

"Zachary, Ethan advised you out of kindness. How could youy your hands on him? Hurry up and apologize to him. This is an order!" Wendy red at Zachary in rage.
