Amy stood by the roadside for two hours in the cold wind , but her driver never came . She pulled out her phone . The first notification was Ruth's social media update . " Freezing out here , but hubby's pampering me with a foot soak . " The photo showed Ethan bending down , his hand resting on her calf . Amy's fingers tightened unconsciously around her phone . The drive that should've taken under an hour became a walk from nightfall to daybreak . When she pushed open the door , disheveled , she saw Ethan at the dining table spoon - feeding Ruth oatmeal . " Amy ! " Ruth feigned surprise . " Where were you last night ? The driver went to pick you up but couldn't find you . " " Really ? I'd like to ask where exactly he went looking ? " Amy shot back . She tossed her heels aside and headed upstairs , only to be stopped by the butler . " Mr. Gerald requests everyone at the ancestral estate's Family Chapel . " Amy had only entered the Johnson Family Chapel twice before . 10:03 Chapter 4 17 208 Vouchers The first time , Ethan took the Family Tribunal for refusing an arranged marriage to wed her . He knelt for three full days until Gerald relented , letting Amy see him . The second time was on their wedding night . Before all Johnson elders , Ethan personally inscribed her name into the Family Tree . His hand was still trembling when he took hers . This third time , Amy spotted the crowd inside from afar , her gut twisting with dread . Ethan passed by , eyes narrowed as he scrutinized her : " You planted those reporters , didn't you ? Desperate to reel me back - how pathetic . " What reporters ? Amy frowned , unease coiling tighter , The moment she stepped in , photos slapped her face . " See what you've done ! " Gerald's face twisted with rage . " You've shamed the Johnson name ! " Amy finally saw the images clearly : Last night , Ethan cornering her outside the restroom . She lifted her head to explain , but Ruth's palm struck her cheek hard . " Amy ! I treated you like a sister ! " Ruth's chest heaved , tears welling . " Yet you steal my husband ! Have you no shame ? " 10:03 Chapter 4 $ 200 Vouchers The accusation hung thick in the air . Amy instinctively raised her hand to retaliate - but froze at the sight of Ruth's pregnant belly . In that split second , Ethan seized her wrist . " Striking her now ? Look at yourself ! " His voice dripped venom . " I never imagined you'd be this vile . " He threw her to the ground . Bitterness and injustice surged through Amy . What had she done wrong ? Why did everyone blame her ? " Tell them yourself ! " She locked eyes with Ethan , gesturing around the room . " Who are you ? Who's your wife ? What's the truth ? " Ethan's brow furrowed deeper with each question . Finally , his lips parted : " I'm Ethan Johnson . Ruth is my only wife . " He pulled Ruth close . " No matter how you tempt me , I'll only ever love her . " Amy stood frozen in place , her heart sinking so hard she couldn't breathe , her hands and feet going numb . The surroundings were chaotic , but she could only see Ethan gently comforting the sobbing Ruth in his arms . 10:03 Chapter 4 268 Wourshar Only when the disciplinary ruler struck her again and again did she slowly regain her senses . " Amy , the Johnson family has already shown you the utmost leniency ! " Gerald issued his final ultimatum , " Get out now ... " No ! " 11 Ethan , who had been watching coldly until now , cut in . " She hasn't apologized to Ruth yet ! " Amy turned to look at him and said softly , " Give it up . I will never apologize ! " " You won't say it ? " Ethan's gaze darkened , his teeth gritted , " Then you'll kneel at Ruth's door until you do ! " Amy struggled to push herself up , her throat too tight to speak . She was already wounded beyond repair , just wanting to leave the Johnson family as soon as possible . Soon , the deadline was almost up . That person would come back for her . But the next second , Ruth wiped the tears from the corner of her eye and said understandingly : " Although Amy has wronged us , she's long since cut ties with the Garcia family . If we kick her out now , she can't support herself . Why not send her to a remote warehouse to be a guard ? That would at least ensure she has food and clothing for the rest of her life . " Chapter 4 288 Vouchers Ethan was silent for two seconds . " You're always so kind . I agree ! " Amy's smile froze on her face . Her whole body felt as if it had plunged into an icy abyss .
