Upon hearing Brian's words, Ray seemed slightly disappointed, but he didn't show it outwardly. He spoke softly, "According to what you said, Aboli won't be able to resist tomorrow. I really look forward to seeing her begging me." Brina simply smiled at this without saying anything further. At this moment, Ethan and John were unaware that someone had begun to plot against them. John looked at Ethan's colorful test tubes and couldn't help but say, "I wish I could do these things too." Ethan didn't even glance at him but simply said, "Just focus on your work at the company for now." John chuckled at that, not saying anything more. Their acquaintance was purely coincidental. At that time, John was in the rising phase of his career, his growth rate was so fast that others were amazed. And he didn't have time to guard against other external forces. He was assassinated, his car exploded, and he fell down a cliff. When Ethan saw him, he was almost dead. Yet, he still stared at Ethan,
Ethan shrugged, unimpressed by Aboli's words.He said, "Fine, let's get to the point."He looked at Aboli with a serious expression and said, "You probably have already noticed the direction the Hamel family is heading—they want complete domination. Before they swallow you up, do you want to try swallowing that monster?"Aboli furrowed her brow slightly, saying, "Do you think we can discuss this here?"As she spoke, she glanced around the café, which was bustling with people coming and going.Ethan paid no attention and said, "Don't worry, as long as I want to, no one can hear what we're saying."Upon hearing this, Aboli's eyes lit up slightly, and she asked directly, "Will you help me then?"The Campbell family was still slightly behind the Hamel family, but with Ethan's support, Aboli felt she could try.Ethan shook his head and said, "No, the one who will cooperate with you is Chairman John Cartie. Of course, I'll also support when necessary. But I feel that to deal with the Hamel
"Mom, what's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?" Ciel's voice was like a tether pulling Mrs. William back to reality. She looked at Ciel and then at Boster, stuttering, "The girl, the girl with Ethan, is she Aboli, right?"Ciel's face was full of suspicion, while Boster couldn't help but furrow his brows, nodding, "Yes, she's Aboli, but how do you know this?"Could it be that Ethan had been involved with Aboli before divorcing Alice, and Mrs. William caught them together? If that were the case, Boster felt he had another reason to make Alice give up on Ethan and come to him!But Mrs. William's words made Boster pause.Mrs. William hesitated slightly before saying, "I met her before, on the day Ethan and Alice divorced. She came to pick up Ethan, claiming to be Aboli Campbell..."As Mrs. William finished speaking, Boster's eyes widened, almost unable to believe it as he exclaimed, "No way! How could this be true!"His shout caught the attention of the patrons in the café, and eve
Boster approached Alice closely. Alice seemed to sense something. She glanced at Boster and asked in a low voice, "Is something wrong, Boster?"Boster quickly withdrew his hand, shaking his head. "Of course not, Alice. Can't you at least like me a little?"Alice was taken aback by Boster's question at this moment. She furrowed her brows slightly, stepping back from Boster. "Your feelings are truly appreciated, but I'm not ready to love again right now. Perhaps you should find another girl more suitable for you."Boster's voice lowered. "Is it because you haven't forgotten Ethan?"Alice didn't say anything, just continued walking back to her table.Boster felt like it was an indirect admission. In an instant, his face turned more frightening.These days, he could hardly sleep due to family matters. His father was so panicked that he couldn't do anything else. He was sure that once news of the Smith family's bankruptcy spread, countless enemies would pounce on them. What could he do
Upon hearing Aboli's words, Alice not only didn't feel comforted but also felt a bit embarrassed. She looked at Aboli, lips slightly pursed, "But Ethan just divorced me, so I have the right to be suspicious, right? If he's already seeing you right after divorcing me, isn't that unusual? That's not the behavior of a good guy."Listening to this, Aboli remained silent for a while before bursting into laughter, "You worry too much, Ethan doesn't have that kind of relationship with me." Then she leaned back in her chair, twirling a lock of her hair around her finger, looking a bit shy as she continued, "To be honest, I was a bit attracted to him, but unfortunately, he doesn't feel the same way about me."Hearing Aboli speak like that, Alice couldn't help but furrow her brows, unsure why she felt uncomfortable. Seeing Alice's expression, Aboli continued, "Furthermore, speaking of external relationships, I don't think you have the right to doubt Ethan. Besides, you have another guy by yo
Alice couldn't help but show a hint of suspicion on her face upon hearing that.John continued with a smile, "I'm sure you've also become aware of Ethan's abilities by now. Few can compare to him in combat, so hiring him was indeed the right decision for me."Alice tried to force a smile in response.At present, she was certain that Ethan wasn't the one who had asked John to rescue her. Not to mention, Ethan had only been recently hired. He was just a security guard; he certainly didn't have the authority to ask John for help.Thinking this, Alice remained silent. However, her mind was still racing with thoughts.Why was Ethan so familiar with Aboli? They might not have a shady relationship, but if Ethan were just an ordinary person, Aboli shouldn't have paid much attention to him. Alice truly couldn't imagine someone like Aboli valuing Ethan solely for his appearance.All her thoughts seemed to lead her to an improbable conclusion.John glanced at Alice for a moment, saying nothi
"It's been a while since we've met like this, hasn't it?" Ray's voice echoed enthusiastically.John quickly responded with a smile, "Indeed, Ray. Long time no see, and you seem more impressive with each passing day."Aboli suddenly bowed her head, her face unusually flushed, appearing to suppress something. Seeing this, Ray couldn't help but smirk, a smirk tinged with disgust. However, even those present here didn't flinch, as if they automatically obscured that smirk.John, on the side, couldn't help but glance at Aboli, showing concern as he asked, "Are you alright?"Aboli shook her head, seeming somewhat distressed as she replied, "No, I'm fine."John furrowed his brow slightly but said nothing more. Ray, self-satisfied, then looked at John and Ethan, asking, "This guy is quite unfamiliar, who is he?"John quickly replied, "Just a close bodyguard I recently hired."Pausing for a moment, he chuckled, "Isn't there also a completely new face next to you?"Ray nodded, "Indeed. I've al
Cecil glared at Ethan, his eyes filled with rage: "I can't believe you dare to show up in front of me, you bastard!"Hearing this, Ethan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly and asked, "Is there a reason I shouldn't be here? If I remember correctly, this isn't your house."Hearing these words, Cecil became even more furious.Clow, standing to the side, couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling that Cecil was indeed troublesome.However, at the same time, he thought this might be an opportunity to test something.He looked towards Cecil and asked, "What happened?"It seemed as if Cecil had been waiting for these words from Clow. He quickly said, "Uncle, it was him who beat me at the Campbell family party, and it was him who made it so I can't do that anymore! You need to get justice for me!"Saying this, Cecil couldn't help but feel both angry and embarrassed.He could even sense the mocking and gossiping from those around him.However, he couldn't stop!He told himself that wit
