The woman's voice was soft and delicate, yet her tone carried hints of grievance, evoking sympathy from many.
Noticing the phone in her hand, Mr. A deduced she had seen him on the livestream. However, he had long moved past any fear of her discovering his actions the moment he chose to seek help from experts on a popular platform like Sixth Sense.
He would've confronted her sooner or later, even if she didn't find out today.
As though pricked by Mr. A's coldness and indifference, the woman hurried to his side and asked, "Must you do this, Ethan? I know you've been cheating on me and wanting a divorce. It's fine if you don't want me to have a cut of your assets, but you didn't have to spread such outrageous lies online! Don't you think you're acting ridiculous?"
Although the woman hadn't appeared in the frame, her voice rang crystal clear into everyone's speakers. At that moment, everyone was shocked.
"What's going on? A plot twist?"
"Damn! So, his wife wasn't soul-switched, and it was a random excuse that this cheater used to ditch her?"
"My goodness. Is that how people break up nowadays?"
"What's with men nowadays? They want a divorce after marrying and don't want to leave a buck to their partner!"
"It's considered good enough that she's told to divorce and leave with nothing. Some men are so shameless that they ask for a refund on all the expenses they spent on their wives! How is that any different from using a woman?"
"No way. The man doesn't look like he was lying at all!"
"Never underestimate a man's acting skills. If it's easily seen through, the world would have a million fewer cheaters."
"I find that theory unreasonable. The guy said they've been dating for six years and only married early this year. They haven't even finished their honeymoon period. Isn't that too quick to be looking for someone new?"
"Stop lying to me! I knew everything! I noticed all your strange movements and behaviors. I didn't want to confront you because I love you and don't want our marriage to end…
"I pretended to be clueless because I thought you'd look back on all the years we spent together and come back to me, your home. But I'd never expect you to stoop this low…
"Ethan, will you please stop this mess? I can pretend nothing has ever happened. Let's just go back to how we used to be, okay?"
Her voice was pitiful and aggrieved, effortlessly garnering sympathy from the livestream audience. After all, who wouldn't empathize with a victim, let alone a woman who begged so humbly?
Ethan Hayes, the man with the alias, Mr. A, looked extremely grim. His gaze was filled with disbelief as he looked at the woman before her, failing to believe she would accuse him out of the blue.
What was her intention in doing so?
