Chapter 513

Isabella Langley felt fury surge through her veins the moment she laid eyes on Ethan Roscente's face.

How dare this man show his face in front of Vivian again!

"Your audacity truly knows no bounds," Isabella sneered. "Haven't you done enough damage to Vivian already?"

Ethan remained silent.

He understood Vivian's best friend despised him, but seeing Vivian had such loyal protection comforted him.

"Who's in that hospital room?" Ethan frowned. "Why is Vivian alone in there?"

"None of your damn business," Isabella scoffed. "What right do you have to ask about Vivian's affairs?"

She dramatically tapped her forehead. "Oh right, you're her ex-husband. An ex who couldn't keep it in his pants has no business inquiring about Vivian's life."

"Didn't think about consequences when you tricked her into marriage? Now you're having regrets?" Isabella's voice rose with each word. "How do you plan to make up for all the suffering you've caused her?"

Years of pent-up rage fueled Isabella's outburst.

She'd vehemently opposed when Vivian abandoned her promising career to marry Ethan Roscente.

Someone as brilliant as Vivian throwing everything away for a man?

And what did she get in return?

Nothing but repeated disappointments before receiving divorce papers.

Had Ethan not wasted those precious years, Vivian could have achieved so much more.

In Isabella's eyes, Ethan Roscente never deserved Vivian Laurent.

"There were misunderstandings about Sophia Evans and me," Ethan attempted to explain. "That child—"

"Here comes another tall tale," Isabella cut him off. "You're really going to deny paternity now? Don't tell me you'll claim the child isn't yours?"

She despised spineless men who refused accountability.

"The boy isn't mine," Ethan stated firmly.

Isabella trembled with rage. "Ethan Roscente, you're not just a cheat—you're a coward! Denying your own flesh and blood!"

"You admitted the child was yours before. Now you're lying to manipulate Vivian again?" Her fists clenched. "If we weren't in a hospital, I'd punch your lights out!"

She took a deep breath. "Stay away from Vivian. If you harass her again, I'll make you regret it."
