Marrying His Nemesis: Kicking My Scumbag Fiancé Away!-Chapter 63: That’s an Even Greater Disgrace

Zenith led the Donovan Family trio to a lounge, signaling them to sit down.

"Would you like something to drink?"

"President Sterling, just say whatever you have to say." Vice Mayor Donovan smiled, "I assume you didn’t invite us over just for tea."

"Vice Mayor Donovan, you’re a smart man, I’ll get straight to the point." Ethan Sterling gestured at the laptop on the coffee table, "You all... take a look!"

"Let’s see what trick you’re up to now!"

Diane reached over and tapped the laptop keyboard lightly.

The screen automatically lit up, showing a video already opened.

Seeing Adrian’s face on the screen, Diane paused, and without waiting for Ethan Sterling to say anything, she pressed the play button.

The video started playing automatically, it was the video Felicity Shaw recorded, of her and Adrian Chamberlain in bed.

Adrian’s voice rang clearly in the ears of the three people.

"That idiot... thought I really liked her. If she weren’t the mayor’s daughter, I wouldn’t even bother with her."

...

"As long as I sleep with his daughter a few more times, make the rice cooked, by then, having a grandson on the way, won’t he have to accept me as his son-in-law willingly!"

...

Watching Adrian press Felicity down onto the bed.

Diane sat on the sofa, trembling all over, her face already as pale as paper.

Bang!

Unable to bear watching the illicit scene, Vice Mayor Donovan reached over and closed the laptop with one hand.

"This... this can’t be real!" Diane suddenly stood straight up from the sofa, her eyes red as she looked at Ethan Sterling, "You’re framing Adrian on purpose, aren’t you?"

"Diane!" Vice Mayor Donovan sternly stopped his daughter, "Would a video like this be possible without Adrian’s cooperation?"

Even if Ethan Sterling got this video through unsavory means.

But, if Adrian hadn’t been indiscreet himself, how could he have fallen for it?

Diane’s lips twitched, turning to her mother’s arms, she burst into tears.

It was only at this moment that she finally understood.

The words Seraphina Thorne said to her during their last meeting.

Seraphina was kindly reminding her, yet...

Instead of being grateful, she had humiliated her.

"The guests should be arriving soon." Ethan Sterling cleared his throat, "You all rest here for a while, I’ll head to the banquet first."

Vice Mayor Donovan personally escorted him to the door.

"Thank you, President Sterling."

If Ethan Sterling had released this video online or at tonight’s banquet.

It wouldn’t only strike Adrian down, the Donovan Family would lose face too.

What Ethan Sterling did was a favor to save face for the Donovan Family and Diane.

This gesture was something Vice Mayor Donovan was grateful for.

"You’re welcome."

Ethan Sterling nodded, turned, and walked down the corridor back to the banquet.

Not far away, Seraphina Thorne, dressed in formal attire, was chatting with several female guests.

Seeing Ethan Sterling, she approached him, holding his arm.

"I haven’t seen you for a while, is everything okay?"

Ethan Sterling raised his right hand, tucking a few loose strands of her hair behind her ear.

"Don’t worry, everything is under your husband’s control."

Seraphina picked up on the underlying meaning in his words, curiously looking up at him.

"Have you been up to no good behind my back?"

"No, Mrs. Sterling..." Ethan Sterling laughed, wrapping his arm around her waist, "How could I do anything bad alone?"

Seraphina’s face flushed, unable to react harshly in front of the guests, she could only give him a sidelong glare.

"President Sterling!" Sean Hale walked over, softly reminding, "Adrian Chamberlain has arrived."

The couple turned their heads and indeed saw Adrian walking through the main entrance.

Along with him, his mother, Mrs. Chamberlain, dressed extravagantly.

"The whole family is here?" Ethan Sterling smirked, "Good!"

Opposite them, Mrs. Chamberlain, also dressed up, noticed Ethan Sterling and Seraphina Thorne.

"Oh dear... this must be President Sterling, right?"

Mrs. Chamberlain laughed exaggeratedly, pulling Adrian Chamberlain along.

"Seraphina, this is a bit unfair, you know. You got married without informing auntie. Even though you’re no longer with our Adrian, you were once with him. If I had known, I surely would’ve given you a big red envelope!"

Having her son’s executive position taken by Ethan Sterling, and being mocked by Seraphina at the car dealership.

This was a grudge Mrs. Chamberlain couldn’t swallow.

She deliberately said this to imply that Ethan Sterling had found "second-hand goods," trying to embarrass Seraphina and Ethan Sterling.

Around them, many guests turned their heads.

Seraphina tightened her grip on her wine glass, but couldn’t refute.

After all, in this setting, she couldn’t very well say that she and Adrian Chamberlain never slept together.

Even if she did say it, who would believe her?

"Really, Mrs. Chamberlain?" Ethan Sterling gently patted Seraphina’s back, smiling brightly, "Adrian’s little secret, and even you didn’t know?"

"What... do you mean?" Mrs. Chamberlain hadn’t caught on.

"When our Seraphina was with me, she was still a virgin." Ethan Sterling winked, "Don’t worry, Adrian and I are old classmates, I’ll introduce you to some urologists later."

"You..." Adrian Chamberlain gritted his teeth, "Stop talking nonsense."

"What’s there to be embarrassed about?" Ethan Sterling smirked, "For a man, who hasn’t had a moment of weakness?"

The surrounding guests burst into a round of ambiguous chuckles. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Compared to a woman’s chastity, a man’s inadequacy... that’s a bigger disgrace.

"Come!" Ethan Sterling lifted his wine glass with his right hand, "I toast to our President Chamberlain, wishing him a bright future and a swift return to glory!"

This time, the guests’ laughter became even more apparent.

Enraged with humiliation, Adrian Chamberlain took a step forward, about to charge at Ethan Sterling.

"Stop!"

Vice Mayor Donovan’s authoritative voice rang out.

Seeing Vice Mayor Donovan enter, Adrian Chamberlain suppressed his anger, smiling as he approached him.

"Uncle Donovan, you’re here!"

"Vice Mayor Donovan, esteemed, esteemed!" Mrs. Chamberlain was also full of flattery, hurriedly showering Vice Mayor Donovan with compliments, "I’ve always seen you on TV, and meeting you today, you truly are extraordinary. I even told Mrs. Donovan last time that I’d love to visit your home sometime!"

Vice Mayor Donovan didn’t even glance at them, walking straight up to Ethan Sterling.

"President Sterling, sorry I’m a bit late!"

Only because of the presence of so many guests did he hold his temper.

Otherwise, he would’ve slapped Adrian Chamberlain in the face already.

Seeing Vice Mayor Donovan ignoring her and her son, Mrs. Chamberlain held onto Adrian’s arm in confusion.

"Adrian, what does Vice Mayor Donovan mean? Didn’t you say he was coming to support you today?"

Even Adrian Chamberlain didn’t know what Vice Mayor Donovan meant by this.

"Sorry, President Sterling." Vice Mayor Donovan smiled, shaking hands with Ethan Sterling, "My daughter’s boyfriend just returned to the country with his parents, Diane and her mother went to receive them, they really couldn’t tear away, President Sterling, please excuse them!"

"No problem at all." Ethan Sterling smoothly responded, "You being able to come is already an honor for Zenith."

Adrian Chamberlain was smart, realizing something must have happened.

But Mrs. Chamberlain was a fool. Hearing Vice Mayor Donovan mention "daughter’s boyfriend," she couldn’t help but speak up.

"Vice Mayor Donovan, what do you mean? Isn’t our Adrian Diane’s boyfriend?"
