Dont worry , Guthrie Corp wont last much longer .

Without the Moores support , theyll go bankrupt soon enough .

And Ive successfully broken them up using our child , Anna said , her voice brimming with triumphant excitement .

What ?! I had to cover my mouth to keep from gasping out loud .

Little Sky wasnt Ethans child after all .

How could Ethan not have done a paternity test ? 2 : 5 < He was too confident , believing Anna wouldnt dare sleep with other men after being with him .

Plus , little Sky looked so much like Ethan .

The man smirked .

Very good .

My dear brother should thank me for this generous gift .

My mind reeled again .

So he was Ethans brother ? .

I returned to our private room .

My friend was already drunk out of her mind .

After sending her home , I started digging into the mans background .

A few days later , the private investigator sent me his findings .

His name is Zack Lee .

He uses his mothers surname .

His biological father is Gregory Guthrie … The more I read , the more shocking it became .

So Zack Lee really was Ethans half brother .

Zacks mother had been the heiress of Lee Enterprises .

Thirty years ago , she married Gregory Guthrie .

But on their wedding day , her parents died in a car accident on the way to the ceremony .

Two years later , she gave birth to Zack .

But shortly after the birth , she passed away as well .

That same year , Gregory Guthrie brought home his first love the current Mrs.

The Guthrie family changed their surname then .

Zack went missing at the age of four .

Reading through all this information sent chills down my spine .

I never imagined the Guthrie empire was built on such a dark foundation .

So Zack had returned for revenge .

I thought I would never have a chance to meet Zack in person .

But that day , I ran into him at my company .

Zack still had that dissolute air about him .

Even in a suit and tie , he exuded a sense of danger .

I sympathized with what he had gone through .

But to be honest , I didnt like people like him .

He was too dark , as if no amount of sunlight could penetrate his world .

Zack smiled at me .

Miss Moore , this isnt our first meeting .

My eyes widened in shock .

He knew .

Zack continued , But I dont mind that you were spying on us , I stared at him in surprise .

I wanted to figure out what he was thinking .

Wasnt he afraid I would expose him ? Zack seemed to read my mind .

Were in the same boat , arent we ? he said .

You hate Ethan , and so do I.

I shook my head with a wry smile .

No , were not the same .

I dont hate him .

I just happened to date a scumbag .

Its no big deal .

I had come to terms with it over the past few days .

I truly didnt hate Ethan anymore .

Now that I no longer loved him , even hating him felt like too much effort .

I was just upset that my sincere feelings had been trampled on .

After causing that scene at the wedding and snatching the Guthries business deal , I felt much better .

But Zacks grudge against the Guthries ran deep as the sea .

We were nothing alike .

Zack seemed surprised by my response .

Even though Ethan is still using his status as your fiancé to drum up business ? Even though Ethan actually almost killed you ? What do you mean ? I frowned .

Ethan had saved my life before .

When we were children , I had fallen into a lake .

Ethan rescued me .

After that , my family was extremely grateful to him .

Thats why even when my dad found out about the Guthries major problems , he was still willing to work with them .

It was all because of that life saving grace from childhood .

Plus , I had been insisting on marrying Ethan back then .

So my dad jumped on the sinking Guthrie ship without hesitation.
