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
"What exactly are you?!" Clow's voice rang out, filled with trembling and pain. No one could imagine the agony he was experiencing at this moment. His internal organs seemed to be in turmoil, every vein, every piece of flesh burning as if consumed by fire. He gasped, cold sweat pouring from his forehead.Cecil, on the side, seemed to not yet understand what was happening. He hurriedly ran up to Clow, asking, "What's going on? Why are you like this?"Pausing for a moment, he quickly turned to Ethan, shouting, "What have you done to my uncle?! Did you use some dirty trick?! I will never forgive you! Do you even know who my uncle is?!"His voice was loud and booming, but when faced with Ethan's cold, unflinching gaze, it gradually softened, almost dwindling to silence at the end. He quickly retreated a bit, but after a while, he hastily regained his courage. He seemed to want to say something, but Clow's resounding voice interrupted, "Shut up!"Hearing this, Cecil almost couldn't be
Boster couldn't explain to Alice why his father couldn't attend this party; he could only laugh lightly and fabricate, "My father is ill, so I guess his presence here at the party seems unnecessary since I haven't grasped too much power yet, so people here don't pay much attention to me."Alice, hearing this, was half believing, half skeptical, but she didn't express any opinion. Nevertheless, she still had some trust in Boster; after all, the Smith family was a prominent one. Moreover, Boster had mentioned that their conglomerate was about to list several subsidiary companies. Perhaps they were just lying low, waiting for the right moment to launch a major project to attract investments.John and Melly were surrounded by guests. Ethan didn't particularly enjoy such situations. He stood up, speaking softly, "I'm going to step out for a bit."Hardly anyone seemed to care about his presence; even if he left, they wouldn't notice. His words were directed towards John and Aboli. John
In the end, Alice was left alone in the darkness. Suddenly, footsteps echoed from behind, and Alice turned to see Boster approaching her. There was a hint of disdain and disgust on his face, which made Alice feel somewhat repulsed. However, because of what he had helped her with in the past, she couldn't express this outwardly. She just looked at Boster and asked, "Why are you here?"Boster looked at Alice, a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes, but he quickly adjusted his emotions. He couldn't afford to show his dissatisfaction with Alice right now; he still needed to rely on her. He looked at Alice, trying to put on a gentle expression, and said, "I just wanted to find you. I didn't see you inside, and I felt really lonely."Alice looked at Boster, her eyes devoid of much emotion. Truth be told, Boster's sweet words made her feel a bit uncomfortable, perhaps because she wasn't used to such flattery. When she was still married to Ethan, he didn't often use sweet words like this
