Ditched My Toxic Duo for a Billionaire Upgrade novel Chapter 127

Chapter 9

Than Harper was the first to arrive,

The moment I saw him, tears welled up in my eyes, and I choked out, “Ethan, why did you send by in find mer

“Was it just to laugh at me? Have the thare of you not had enough fun already?”

Hisfare was fall of concern as he hurried to wipe away my tears.

“Grace, I didn’t I didn’t send ber–1 didn’t even knowt

Turned my head away, avoiding his hand, my expression filled with stubborn defiance.

Tihan. I’ve never regretted being with you. That you Hen’t to use my feelings for you are to team up with them and make a food end of mer

“I didn‘! I swear I didn’t! I had no idea about Caleb’s feelingsTM

I lowered my gate, my voice trembling with sadness.

“How am I supposed to believe you? You’re Ivy’s boyfriend and Caleb’s best friend. I’m just an outsider. Why would you take my side?”

A flicker of hurt crossed his face

“Grace, we were together for ten years. Don’t you know me better than that?”

Did he remember those ten years when he chose Ivy over me?

I forced down the bitterness threatening to rise in my throat.

Tôting my head up to meet his eyes. I let two more tears fall.

– I was just starting to figure out how to play my next card when I heard the door lock beep..

Perfect timing

I grabbed Ethan by the collar and pulled him into a kiss

by’s shocked voice immediately cut through the air.

“Ethan What are you doing?”

Before I could react, someone yanked me away with a force that made me stumble.

Caleb Monroe’s fist landed squarely on Ethan’s jaw

Ethan didn’t back down.

Caleb wasn’t just the guy who’d dated his ex–be also harbored feelings for his current girlfriend.

No man would tolerate that

The two of them went at it, throwing punches and knocking over furniture

The apartment quickly descended into chaos.

Ivy rushed forward, trying to break up the fight, but I stepped in her way collapsing to the Deor.

“Ah! Grace, why did you push-”

y and shoved her aside. She glared at me, then let out a sharp laugh before

La Tania Thaile – Hillionaire Hurradet.

Crashl

I didn’t wait for her to finish her sentence.

I threw myself onto the glass coffee table with all the force I could muster.

The glass shattered loudly, and the room weid silent.

I didn’t say a word.

Instead. I find Ivy with a wide eyed fearful look,

Her face turned pale.

“I didn’t! It wasn’t me–it was het She did it to herself

I’d stood in her shoes once, helplessly explaining while no one believed

And now? No one believed her either.

Neither Caleb riban even glanced at her.

They both rushed to my side, scooping me up and carrying me straight to the hospital

The truth was, I wasn’t badly hurt.

The glass shards had been carefully prepped with my ring, so while it made a lot of noise, the damage was minimal–just a few shallow cuts

But Caleb and Ethan were thaken enough to insist be admitted.

That worked just fine for me

It made executing the next step of my plan even easier.

In the following days, the two of them seemed to come to an unspoken agreement..

They took turns watching over me.

Meanwhile, by and I followed each other on social media.

Every day, I’d post a new picture of Ethan sitting by my bedside.

At first, she’d call him

Each time, I’d avert my eyes and quietly tell him, “Your girlfriend’s calling. You should answer.

But Ethan wouldn’t even look at his phone.

He’d decline the call, turn it off, and go right back to sitting by me

Eventually, Ivy stopped trying to reach him.

As for Caleb, I played a different game.

I unleashed every ounce of fury I had at him, focusing him of loving Ivy and using me

I even made a point to say how much it hut knowing the sunblowers he gave me were never meant for me

The guilt ate away at both of them

Maybe they didn’t love me, but they certainly loved their own images.
