Chapter 2
The sudden punch knocked me off
my
feet
and my old classmates stared in disbelief.
“Logan, is this really your wife‘ s car?” someone asked.
Logan smirked with pride. “Why would I lie?”
He pulled out his phone and showed off a few photos of him and Lily. They were intimately posed together, some taken inside the car and others on the hood, with the license plate clearly visible.
The crowd immediately gasped. “So it‘ s true! That means Ethan is definitely mooching off someone else’s wife!”
Logan glared at me coldly. “No wonder you‘ ve been so quiet on social media all these years. Turns out you‘ re nothing but a leech.”
The others quickly chimed in.

“Wow, Ethan! You always looked so put together. Never thought you’d stoop to this.”
“I used to think he was the high–school heartthrob, but now? Total scumbag.”
“It‘
ts pathetic, really. Acting all aloof when you‘ re just mooching off a rich woman.”
Even our homeroom teacher looked disgusted. “Ethan, don‘ t ever tell anyone I taught you. I don‘ t associate with people who lack morals.”
The murmurs and criticisms from the crowd attracted more onlookers, many snapping pictures and recording videos.
I took off my designer jacket, worth millions and tossed it in the trash. Facing Logan, I kept my voice steady. “You punched me without knowing the full story. Pretty lawless of you.”
Logan sneered. “What are you gonna do about it? You came here in my wife’s car,

He turned toward the Rolls Royce behind me, his face contorted with anger.
“There’s nothing worse than a man who lives off women” He pulled out his keys. and scratched “Mistress Deserves
Death” onto the car door.
I glanced at the words and said, “Soon, you’ll realize how ironic that phrase is.”
Logan laughed bitterly. “You‘ re still running your mouth? You shameless. loser!” He picked up a brick and smashed it against the car–first the windows, then the hood, leaving dents and shattered glass.
“Logan is the future heir of Besla Business Group! We can’t let him be bullied by someone like Ethan!” someone shouted
and suddenly, my old classmates joined in, smashing and vandalizing the car without hesitation. Soon, the Rolls Royce was reduced to wreckage.

I watched them in icy silence. “I hope you‘ 11 feel as satisfied when you have to pay for all this damage,”
No one heeded my words, treating me as if I were invisible. Then, one of Logan’s followers opened the trunk and called out,
“Look at all the fancy stuff he‘ sgt in here!”
Logan pulled out a painting and sneered, “You‘ re living off women and you dare collect art?”
“These items are worth much more than this car,” I warned. “Especially that painting. I’d advise you to leave it alone.”
These were collectibles I’d acquired at auction and hadn’t had time to secure yee, but Logan’s fury only grew. “A lowlite like you doesn‘ t deserve art.” He tore the painting in half and stomped on it.
Someone recognized the torn artwork and gasped. “That looked like an original from

Encouraged by Logan’s lead, the others took turns destroying the remaining items in my trunk.
I silently took out my phone and spoke into it. “Locate my position and send backup immediately.”
Before I could finish, one of Logan’s lackeys snatched the phone from my hand and smashed it to the ground. “Still trying to call for help? What, are you going to

The rest of them joined in, mocking me with exaggerated laughter.
I glanced at the broken phone and said calmly, “We’ll see who’s laughing soon enough.”
Logan grabbed me by the collar. “You think you can threaten us?” His eyes. landed on the jade pendant around my neck and he ripped it off, grinning. “I bet this was bought with my wife’s money, too.”
I felt a surge of panic. “Give me back the necklace!”
