Alice's mother almost immediately froze when faced with Ethan's gaze.
However, her son's yelling grew louder by the moment.
Alice's mother seemed to just wake up at this moment.
She quickly shouted, "Security, where is security?!"
Not only the security but also the passersby were attracted by her yelling, quickly noticing the chaos here.
At this point, the security had also rushed out and quickly moved towards Ethan, shouting, "Hey, what are you doing? Do you know who these people are?!"
The security didn't care about who was right or wrong.
He didn't know the conflict between Alice and her brother, he just knew they were mother and son.
He needed Alice's praise, so he would surely not hesitate to win Alice's mother's favor.
However, Ethan seemed to not hear the security's voice at all.
His speed didn't slow down at all. Alice's brother's face was already bruised, crying incessantly.
Seeing this, the security grabbed a baton, advancing aggressively as if to attack Ethan.
"Stop," a cold voice of a woman suddenly rang out.
Turning back at the sound, the security almost immediately halted, standing still, not daring to move.
The girl with rare black hair and eyes had an icy gaze.
Her face was exceedingly beautiful but also excessively cold, making her seem distant, causing people to admire from afar but not dare to approach.
With her status, ordinary people definitely couldn't come close.
Because she was Aboli Campbell, the daughter of the Campbell family, one of the most powerful clans in the city of Gloria.
Aboli coldly glanced at the security and Alice's mother before suddenly walking towards Ethan.
By this time, Ethan had already pushed Alice's brother aside.
His entire face was swollen, looking at Ethan with fear before quickly crawling back to his mother.
Ethan looked at Aboli, his eyes devoid of much emotion, seemingly waiting for her to speak.
Aboli slightly bowed, politely introducing herself, "Hello, I am Aboli Campbell."
Campbell?
Ethan recalled, this was the surname of John's friend, so the girl in front of him must be the granddaughter of the person he needed to treat.
As soon as Aboli finished speaking, the murmurs of the passersby began to rise.
"Oh my, that's Miss Aboli of the Campbell family. They say she's Mr. Campbell's favorite granddaughter!"
"The Campbell family has deep roots in the city of Gloria. With their help, gaining significant power in the city is just a simple matter!"
"Moreover, Miss Aboli is also amazing. It is said that she is currently the CEO of the Campbell Group headquarters. The future head of the Campbell family is surely her!"
Ethan heard these whispers, but his face showed no notable expression.
After all, he had never cared about such things.
Seeing Aboli's polite attitude, the anger in Ethan's heart momentarily subsided.
He nodded, though he had already guessed, he still asked, "What do you need from me?"
Aboli quickly replied, "I was introduced by Mr. John, my grandfather needs you. Please come with me immediately."
As soon as she finished speaking, three tall men descended from a luxury car in the distance.
They were dressed in black, their muscular bodies exuding power.
Aboli said, "They are the guards I trust, ensuring that no fool will dare to bother you in the future. Let's go."
The guards stood on either side, surrounding Aboli and Ethan.
Ethan's expression remained unchanged as he calmly entered Aboli's car.
Alice's mother was unwilling; she ran up, wanting to pull Ethan back.
However, a guard stepped forward, and Alice's mother almost flew backward upon hitting the solid body of the guard.
The guard rolled his eyes at her, speaking sternly, "If you continue to act foolishly, don't blame me for dealing with it forcefully."
Alice's mother recoiled, not daring to advance any further.
And so, the Maybach car, worth a fortune, drove away under the watchful eyes of everyone without anyone daring to voice an opinion.
After Ethan's group left, Alice's mother regained her composure.
She immediately looked at the guard with resentment, saying angrily, "Why didn't you stop them?! Useless!"
The guard sounded a bit disgruntled, "Do you think I could have stopped them? Do you know who that girl was? That was Aboli Campbell, the business genius of Gloria City, who will inherit the entire Campbell family in the future! Offending her, our company could collapse in an instant!"
Alice's mother pursed her lips, her eyes filled with disbelief.
How could Ethan, of all people, know such a woman?!
At that moment, Alice's voice suddenly rang out from behind them, "What's going on?"
The guard immediately bowed his head, while Alice's mother rushed forward, expressing her anger, "Alice, your ex-husband just unreasonably attacked your brother! Clearly, your brother was just trying to seek justice for you! We firmly believe Ethan must have done something wrong to you for you to leave him!"
The guard, standing aside, was truly amazed at this woman's ability to fabricate stories.
Ethan almost instantly became the villain through her narrative.
However, the guard remained silent.
Alice glanced at her mother, her eyes cold.
She had divorced Ethan, but she still understood him.
Regardless, Ethan was truly a kind-hearted person; he would never do what her mother had just described.
She spoke calmly, "Stop saying meaningless things; Ethan would never do that."
Almost immediately after she finished speaking, her brother, lying on the ground, exclaimed, "Look, he hit me like this, and you still don't believe it?!"
Hearing this, Alice's mother also frowned, persistently saying, "Ethan is not as kind and gentle as you think, Alice."
Alice looked at her mother, speaking in a low voice, "Regardless of anything, I was once his wife. I understand him better than you."
With that, she prepared to leave, completely ignoring her mother and brother.
But at that moment, her mother's voice, tinged with anger and sarcasm, suddenly rang out, "So, do you know what just happened? Ethan just got on a car and left with a beautiful and powerful woman. Did you ever suspect this?"
Alice almost stopped in her tracks, immediately turning to look at her mother, her eyes filled with suspicion.
Alice looked at her mother with a mixture of astonishment and skepticism. However, she refrained from asking any further questions and simply said, "Mom, it's best if you take him to the hospital first."Indeed, Alice's brother was still writhing and yelling on the ground, attracting the attention of many passersby.Her mother pursed her lips, seemingly surprised by Alice's reaction to her words. However, under Alice's gaze, she couldn't say anything more and could only urge her son to leave.Alice didn't even glance at them as she continued walking forward.Suddenly, she spoke, "How do you feel about this?"The secretary walking beside her startled slightly but quickly replied, "Ethan assaulted someone, that much is clear."Alice furrowed her brows slightly; she could deduce that much. Nevertheless, she remained skeptical, certain that her mother had embellished her words.As for her brother, he truly was a scoundrel.The secretary glanced at Alice's expression, seemingly understa
Ethan spoke his diagnosis slowly, but Melly couldn't help but widen her eyes, filled with astonishment. Ethan had completely guessed her illness!Aboli, understanding her younger sister, nodded, her trust in Ethan increasing.After her initial surprise, Melly quickly reverted to her demeanor, crossing her arms and turning away, appearing resentful as she said, "No, he's completely wrong!"Nevertheless, she didn't stop Ethan anymore, even displaying a bit of shyness as she glanced at him discreetly.Ethan didn't pay attention to Melly's reactions. He approached the hospital bed, and almost immediately upon examining Mr. Campbell from such a close distance, he deduced that Mr. Campbell had been poisoned.Placing his index and middle fingers on Mr. Campbell's wrist, after a moment, he identified the type of toxin. It had no specific name, more like a mixture of various toxins, even emitting a hint of magical energy, something quite rare in the current world.He blinked, then began hel
Aboli furrowed her brows, immediately stepping forward to grab the collar of the chief physician. Her strength was considerable, and the chief physician was quickly pulled upwards.She spoke icily, "What were you just doing? I told you not to touch my grandfather! Can you bear the consequences of this?!"The chief physician felt somewhat intimidated, but quickly raised his voice, "The issue here isn't about my competence being insufficient! Clearly, it's because of your friend, he must have done something for your grandfather to end up like this! I just happened to be coincidentally involved!"Aboli was truly furious, almost laughing at the chief physician's attempt to say something more.Without hesitation, Aboli raised her hand and slapped him hard. The slap was so forceful that it caused the chief physician's face to tilt to one side.In a stern tone, Aboli said, "Don't speak nonsense at a time like this, you useless fool!"After her words, she quickly pushed the chief physician
Mr. Campbell, who moments ago seemed to be gasping for breath, suddenly sat up from the hospital bed! This nearly left everyone stunned, except for Ethan, of course. Doctors almost couldn't believe what they were witnessing. A rare disease that they couldn't cure was now healed by an unknown guy; could there be anything more absurd and unbelievable than this?Melly almost immediately rushed to Mr. Campbell's side, while Aboli glanced at Ethan, bowed respectfully, and said, "Thank you very much for saving my grandfather, Ethan. From now on, you will be a good friend of the Campbell family; we all are deeply grateful to you."Ethan nodded and said, "Just doing what needs to be done, as long as you provide me with what we agreed upon."Aboli immediately nodded in response, "Certainly."The chief doctor standing aside frowned uncomfortably at the scene. Compared to Ethan, he truly felt redundant. He was skilled, but he was overly arrogant and unwilling to accept that others could be
Upon waking up, Mr. Campbell was placed under a special care regimen to ensure a swift recovery.Meanwhile, in Aboli's car, she insisted on taking Ethan home. Despite his refusal, she was determined to do so, and Ethan didn't argue further.Aboli looked at Ethan and then suddenly pulled out a bank card, saying earnestly, "Thank you for saving my grandfather; please accept this."Ethan glanced at the bank card, his face devoid of any shock or joy. He simply said, "I thought we had already agreed; I don't need money, just dragon's blood grass."Aboli smiled faintly and nodded, "No, the dragon's blood grass is given to you on behalf of the Campbell family. This is from me, Aboli, as a token of gratitude. Please accept it."Aboli's sincerity was strikingly different from Alice's previous haughtiness. Ethan was about to say something when suddenly the car screeched to a halt, causing both Aboli and Ethan to lean forward instinctively.The bank card in Aboli's hand fell to the floor of t
Ethan couldn't help but feel a bit surprised hearing Aboli speak like that.Seeing Ethan's reaction, Aboli immediately burst into laughter, shaking her head, and said, "No, I was just kidding."To Ethan's surprise, the astonishment on his face became even more evident at that moment.Unable to help herself, Aboli glanced at him and asked, "Is something the matter?"Ethan shook his head, his expression returning to normal. "No, it's just that when you joke, you should smile a bit. Your serious demeanor makes it seem like you're really serious. Plus, I was just somewhat surprised to see you laugh."Ethan had thought Aboli didn't know how to laugh; her demeanor and presence were akin to a snowflake.Upon hearing this, a slight curve formed on Aboli's lips, though it quickly returned to normal.She looked at Ethan, suddenly serious, and said, "The Campbell family is hosting a business dinner tomorrow night. Could you protect me until the end of the event? I'm afraid there might be some ot
Alice looked at Ethan and the beautiful woman walking beside him, feeling a slight hesitation. However, she still walked towards Ethan. Instead of apologizing, she simply said, "Hello, I didn't expect to see you here."Upon hearing Alice's voice, Ethan turned back, and Aboli also glanced at Alice, her brows slightly furrowing with suspicion. Seeing the girl next to Ethan looking at her like that, Alice couldn't help but frown a bit.At this moment, Aboli suddenly asked Ethan, "Ethan, who is this girl? She's very beautiful."Ethan replied honestly, "She's my ex-wife."Aboli couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, a hint of surprise in her gaze as she looked at Ethan and Alice. Her eyes scanned over Alice, silently evaluating whether this girl had anything good to make Ethan marry her. Moreover, she was curious about the reason for their divorce.Alice felt a slight discomfort in her heart hearing Ethan speak so bluntly. She didn't understand why she felt a bit uneasy. She sudde
Seeing this expression from Aboli, not only did Boster feel uncomfortable, but Alice also furrowed her brow.She looked at Aboli and then at Ethan, speaking in a low voice: "Her expression... it's clear you two have met before, right?"Saying these words, one could clearly see the pain and disappointment in her eyes.However, they were quickly overshadowed, leaving only anger at being deceived.Aboli's subsequent actions only heightened her anger.However, Aboli didn't respond to her but instead took Ethan's hand, almost as a challenge! Ethan's fingers twitched a bit, but he didn't pull away.He looked at Alice, his eyes cold and emotionless, as if indirectly agreeing with Alice's questioning.Seeing Ethan's attitude, Alice felt vindicated, and her anger turned into laughter.She felt foolish for ever feeling guilty about divorcing him.Divorcing Ethan was undoubtedly the best decision she had ever made!Thinking this, Alice's expression became cold and unyielding.She looked at Ethan
