When Love Breaks (Josephine) novel Chapter 129

Meanwhile, Ethan had caught up with Josephine.

Her face was puffed up in anger, her usually cool gaze now carrying a sharp edge, though her cheeks were tinged with a faint flush. Both her hands were clenched into tight fists, her frustration practically radiating off her.

Ethan couldn't help but chuckle. Josephine still looked exactly like she did when she was a kid—adorable even when she was mad.

But what had truly surprised him was how decisively she had rejected Nick. He had expected her to endure it, to swallow her pride and negotiate.

"Before we came here, I did warn you that he's arrogant and blunt."

Josephine abruptly stopped in her tracks, turning to him with a serious expression. "Arrogance is one thing. But being outright rude and disrespecting others is another."

"You're right. He was both rude and disrespectful to you just now."

Josephine blinked, slightly taken aback by how readily he agreed with her. Instead of feeling reassured, she found herself worrying about him instead. "But won't you get into trouble for walking away with me like that?"

Ethan chuckled. "I think you should be more worried about whether you'll upset him, not me."

"I'm not worried." Josephine arched her brow confidently. "Right now, I just want to focus on making this film. Once it's out, I'll prove him wrong and make him regret not going for the role. Besides, I've already secured my investors, my lead actor, my cinematographer, and even the theaters. Even if I offend him, what can he possibly do to me?"
