Chapter 1929
Josephine hadn’t accepted even one gift that Luke gave her throughout the time he pursued her, and
neither did she ever give any suggestive remarks. Luke had been one-sidedly pursuing her all this
while.
“Although Josephine and I have only known each other for a few days, my love for her is no less than
yours. You should back off!” Ethan warned Luke.
“Why should I?” Luke immediately blew his top. He was still reluctant to give up on Josephine and her
grandfather’s connections. He couldn’t just let go, considering how his company needed those
connections to build up its network.
This happened to be something about Luke that Ethan had seen through. “It seems to me you’re not in
love with Josephine. You have your eyes on her grandfather’s authority and connections, huh?
Someone like you does not deserve to love Josephine.”
Luke was completely triggered by Ethan’s words. He suddenly roared, “Ethan Quarles, this is my
territory. You’d better not mess with me, or I will make life a living hell for you!”
Josephine was taken aback by how Luke suddenly threatened Ethan, and she quickly tried to persuade
Luke to calm down. “How am I supposed to stay calm? I’ve been pursuing you for a year, and now
someone else got in the way and took you away from me! Do look like a pushover?!” I need to teach
him a lesson! he thought.
Seeing how agitated Luke was, Josephine took a deep breath and insisted, “Luke, it doesn’t matter
who came first. I was the one who fell for Ethan and actively pursued him. It has nothing to do with
him.”
Josephine’s words seemed to have stabbed Luke right where it hurt. It felt like he had lost his sanity at
this very moment as his dignity as a man was trampled on. No matter what, he knew he needed to vent
his anger toward Ethan. His fists were already clenched as he stared at Josephine with an unwilling
gaze. “Josephine, do you really like him that much?”
It was obvious that Luke had lost his temper after being embarrassed. He was also no longer patient or
polite toward Josephine. She firmly answered him, “Yes, I love him.”
Suddenly, Josephine was roughly shoved by Luke, whose clenched fist was already swinging at
Ethan’s face. When he raised his fist, Josephine, who had been pushed aside, almost instinctively
pushed back. Luke couldn’t stop his punch in time.
Bam! The fist socked Josephine straight on the cheek, hurting her so badly that she fell back into
Ethan’s arms. Ethan wanted to protect Josephine, but his hand was a second too late. As he tightly
hugged the woman, he sent Luke flying when he kicked out with his long leg. However, the corner of
Josephine’s mouth was already torn. as it started bleeding as she lay against his chest.
Josephine!” Ethan’s heart was broken as he called out to her. He wanted nothing more than to punch
himself across the face when he saw the blood trickle from her mouth.
Meanwhile, Luke got up and started panicking. He didn’t expect to hit Josephine in the face. He finally
came back to his senses when he saw the pale woman drenched in cold sweat, leaning against
Ethan’s chest with blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. “Joey, I’m sorry! I’m so sorry!”
He tried to approach her, only to hear the other man angrily yell at him. “F*ck off! Stay away from her!”
Ethan’s gaze shot at Luke like a sharp knife, and he protected Josephine in his arms with his torso so
that Luke wouldn’t hurt her anymore. Josephine’s cheek hurt so badly that she couldn’t speak, but still,
she uttered in a hoarse voice, “Let’s go.”
“Josephine, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to do that. I wasn’t trying to hit you.” Luke finally realized that he
and Josephine couldn’t even be friends after his punch.
