Reincarnated As the Enemy's Wife: Married the Rival, Bound by Revenge-Chapter 242: Reunion After Three Years

<Nord School, Saradia.>

After learning that she was not invited to Ethan’s birthday party, Eva, who was in a daze, stood at the window for a long time.

That year, she was seventeen, not as naive as she was when she was fourteen.

She started to think independently.

At the age of 14, she had a glimmer of hope when Ethan left her.

But now she was disillusioned.

The regulations of Nord School were very strict.

One of them was that students were not allowed to leave school without permission.

Once they were found out, they would be dropped out.

Eva spent the whole afternoon staring blankly at the castle-style windows.

In the end, she packed up and bought a ticket back to Zoravia with the reward she had won in the music competition all these years.

She left the place where she had studied for three years.

Three days later, in Zoravia.

The adulthood ceremony of Ethan was holding in the Brown villa.

Three years had passed, and Zoravia, which was unknown in Hiltonan, had gain prosperity in those three years.

Because Zoravia was home to a great entrepreneur-Nicholas Brown.

He was unlike Zachary who was born with a silver spoon.

Starting bare-handed, Nicholas had created the country’s leading business myth in the past three years.

His rise boosted the economic development of the city.

The banquet hall of the Brown villa, the high-class living room in Chinese style, was full of elites and celebrities from various cities.

The host spoke on the stage, "Let’s welcome today’s hero, Ethan!" Amidst the applause, the well-dressed youngster walked out of the crowd. He no longer looked like the poor boy he used to be.

The past three years witnessed that he had become an elite under the guidance of Nicholas. Young as he was, he was equal to the occasion.

"Hello everyone, I’m Ethan Brown."

Then the applause burst out.

"Ethan took the first in the global exam this time. He has been admitted to the best business college of Arcus in advance, and when he comes back, he will officially work for the Brown Group... "

"Not only that, he won the first prize in International Olympic mathematics, first prize in chemistry and first prize in physics at the age of sixteen... He has been recognized as a first-class talent by the government... "

The host listed all his achievements, all of which was an honor that ordinary children couldn’t reach.

Everyone present was moved by his glamorous achievements.

Under such an honor, the young man in white shirt appeared even more dazzling.

At this moment, however, a cold voice sounded out of place.

Her voice was not loud, but was clearly heard by everyone present.

"I heard that Mr. Brown was a big fan of music when he was a kid."

"Excuse me, Mr. Brown, have you played the piano all these years?"

He was shocked when he heard this voice.

The speaker slowly walked out of the crowd, with mockery at the corners of her mouth.

Eva wore casual clothes today.

The women who came here today were undoubtedly well-dressed. But she was dressed all in black, which didn’t go well with the occasion.

But even so, the others didn’t show any disdain.

Because she had that kind of temperament that could despise all elegance.

She had the temperament of a musician.

Ethan froze from the moment he heard her voice till she walk over. His lips fluttered unconsciously.

"It’s you..."

"Do you remember me?"

"You... Why are you here?"

...

Eva smiled at him.

Then she raised her head and met the sight of the man standing on the second floor by the railing, who had been observing them.

She looked at Nicholas upstairs coldly.

"He wants you to forget that you were born in an orphanage. For this reason, he spared no expense to send me to the best international aristocratic school."

With that, she bowed her head and looked at Ethan again.

"You don’t feel any guilty after sending me to a school that I can’t afford to go to in my life and won the world’s awards that I couldn’t get at all on my own. You don’t even invite me to Ethan’s 18-year-old birthday party."

"But I have never forgotten that I had an older brother in the orphanage of Madonna Orphanage."

"We used to rely on each other and he told me that we would be family when we grew up."

"But at the age of fourteen, he gave me up for wealth and honor."

Eva smiled coldly as she spoke.

All the celebrities present remained in silence.

They couldn’t believe that this girl had such eyes at her age.

They were indifferent and arrogant.

She was like the black dahlias blooming in the darkness, taking no notice of viewers!

Each of them was someone of great social status.

But in the face of this girl, all they did was to listen to her.

"Am I right? Ethan?"

Under the spotlight, Ethan looked a little embarrassed.

"Eva, the past events have forever gone. I understand if you blame me for what happened. But I’ve moved on, and it is an undeniable fact. "

She looked at the young man and smiled.

"You’ve moved on? Do you want me to stay out of your life? "

"You seem to be mistaken."

"I’m not trying to have anything to do with you."

"Since you left me without saying goodbye to me three years ago, I have figured out

that no one in this world is responsible for my own life except myself."

"I dropped out of Nord School and returned to Zoravia because I just didn’t want to owe you guys a favor. From now on, I’ll be responsible for my life."

"As for why I am standing here today,"

As she spoke, her eyes glinted with coldness and mockery.

"I’m making a bet in front of everyone."

"What are you betting on?" Ethan asked.

"Don’t you think following the rich is the only way to get ahead?"

"I want to prove to you that one can be succeed without relying on others, even if he is an orphan who has nothing."

"In three years, I will stand higher than you and crush you hard!"

As she finished, her eyes glinted with cruelty!

Seeing this scene, Brown, who was far upstairs, couldn’t help but smiled faintly.

"Interesting."

"Mr. Brown?" The housekeeper next to him was puzzled.

"It seems that she doesn’t change after going through three years of militarized education in the school.

Back then, he felt that she was more malleable than Ethan.

Unfortunately, he didn’t accept girls.

After that, Eva took her leave.

She was like the fairy tale who broke into the castle and cursed the king and queen and all the nobles. The world was brightly lit, but she was in the dark.

She left in a presumptuous and resolute way after she played the tough to Ethan.

At this time, Ethan on the stage lowered his head and lost his mind for a moment.

...

At the door of the Brown villa.

As Eva walked out, a figure stood in the way.

Late at night, a solitary light burned dimly at the door of the Brown.

She took a closer look and recognized the person in front of her, hatred emerging in her eyes.

"Get out of the way!"

"It’s been three years. You have changed a lot." Nicholas said, holding a cigarette in his hand. He walked over and extinguished the cigarette.

"I will pay you back the money for tuition of Nord School," she said calmly. Looking at her for a while, he uttered a word, "Okay." Eva was a little surprised.

She probably didn’t expect him to agree, but soon the surprise was replaced by hatred.

After all, if it weren’t for him, Ethan wouldn’t be so eager to distance himself from her.

"I’ll transfer the money into your account on time, and we’re even." Eva, the seventeen-year-old girl, left as soon as she finished speaking. But soon someone grabbed her arm from behind! "Let me go!"

"You hate me very much?"

Nicholas turned around, his face cold and mature.

"Mr. Brown, Isn’t it clear?"

"Just because I took him away?"

"Not only that."

It was said that Nicholas was the terror of people in Zoravia.

Everyone would be scared standing in front of him, but she was not afraid at all, perhaps because she had nothing to lose.

"I wouldn’t hate you at all if he led a better life."

"You have no idea that Ethan liked music the most when he was a child. In the

orphanage, we spent most of our time playing the piano."

"His dream was to become a pianist, but you forced him to study mathematics and business, turning him into a tool of your ambition. You even changed his name. His original name was Ethan Morris! "

In the dark, Nicholas stared at Eva who had an aggressive expression.

"Really?" he asked arrogantly.

"Are you so sure that I forced him to do all this, not of his own volition?"

"Impossible!" She didn’t believe that.

Nicholas smiled drily.

Her stubbornness made one compulsively want to tear up.

He stepped forward, approaching her step by step. "He refuses to admit your relationship. Are you sure he had no choice?"

"Could it be that he himself wanted to forget the past when he was poor and humble? "

He continued his way and stared at her. The light in her eyes gradually dimmed.

"Stop it!" Eva growled as she backed away.

His smile widened in mockery.

"You said he dreamed to become an excellent pianist. Probably it was because that piano is the most valuable thing in orphanage. It has nothing to do with music. He just thought playing the piano is the easiest to be admired by other children. What do you think?"

"What if he is not who you think he is, and what if he is vain and unrighteous?"

"So you think it’s my fault too?"

"Stop it!" cried Eva hysterically.

She was more disappointed in the illusion in her heart and herself than in Ethan.

Nicholas didn’t know what was wrong with him.

It thrilled him when he saw how disappointed and desperate she was.

On the contrary, he was irritable seeing her beg for him.

Therefore, he continued, trying to destroy the image of Ethan in her mind.

"Otherwise, why did he refuse directly when I asked him if he wanted to invite you to the birthday banquet?"

"He has access to piano at home. He never touches it, and he doesn’t want to look at it, but you... "

"Eva, you’re more talented than I thought."

"Three years ago, the one who played the piano well was Ethan, and you were a nobody. But you have become a promising pianist in the music industry."

"But he hasn’t played the piano for three years. Are you sure that he is the Ethan who will protect you all the time and won’t leave you behind? "
