Chapter 7
Ethan instantly felt humiliated. His face darkened, and he instinctively moved to shield Jasmine behind him.
“Don’t make things difficult for a woman.”
The investor sneered and immediately replied, “No problem. You
can drink it for her.‘
Ethan was momentarily speechless. Before he could respond, he heard the voice of Jasmine–the very woman he’d been protecting from behind him.
“Ethan, please drink it for me! You know being an actress has always been my dream.”
After saying this, Jasmine burst into tears, looking pitiful and vulnerable, which stirred Ethan’s sympathy.
However, I nearly burst out laughing.
I just found Jasmine’s words incredibly familiar.
I remembered that seven years ago, when Jasmine first moved
into my family’s villa, she had said the exact same thing to Ethan,
except back then her dream was to be a cellist.
At that time, Ethan believed Jasmine and endured three days and
nights of punishment from his father, yet he still broughsmine2

Ethan probably still remembered that night–the young girl in her worn dress, her eyes sparkling with hope.
Too bad Jasmine had long forgotten the lies she’d casually spun
back then.
Now she was using the same trick to deceive Ethan into standing up for her again.
I smiled and took a sip of my drink, waiting for this drama to
unfold.
Ethan pressed his lips together tightly and said helplessly under
Jasmine’s earnest gaze, “I have stomach problems. I can’t drink
alcohol.”
Maria loved spicy food, but Ethan couldn’t handle spice at all.
He always had stomach pain, and later I secretly told Maria about
Ethan’s inability to eat spicy food.
However, Ethan just needed to take care of his digestive system.
I specifically had a renowned doctor prescribe medication for him.
After that, I often made various nutritious meals for Ethan during
high school.
I didn’t stop until the month before we completely fell out.

He obviously remembered this too, and for the first time, his eyes

showed a hint of guilt when he looked at me.
I suppose after his family went bankrupt, he’d been too
overwhelmed to take care of his stomach condition.
If he drank a bottle of hard liquor now, it could kill him.
The investor impatiently tapped the table.

“Are you going to drink or not? If you won’t drink, I’ll find someone
else!”
As soon as he finished speaking, several other actresses nearby
were already eager to try.
Jasmine stamped her feet anxiously and kept lashing out at
Ethan.
“Are you even a man? You don’t even dare drink one bottle for me!
Who was it that swore to take care of me for life?”
The last bit of hope in Ethan’s eyes was shattered.
He looked like he’d been dealt a heavy blow, hunching over
helplessly.
“I’ll drink it.”
He took the bottle, unscrewed the cap, and tilted his head back to
pour it down his throat.

After drinking only a third of it, he suddenly bent over, coughed up blood, and collapsed on the floor.
The scene immediately erupted into chaos.
Jasmine broke out in a cold sweat from panic.
The investor stared at the bloodstains on his sleeve with disgust
and turned to leave.
She hurriedly chased after him to explain, never once looking
back at Ethan lying on the ground.
I rolled my eyes and gave the butler a meaningful look.
“Call an ambulance! Don’t let him die here.”
When Ethan was being lifted onto the stretcher, he opened his
eyes and seemed to want to say something to me.
I couldn’t be bothered to decipher his silent lip movements and
simply turned and walked away.
