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
Ray looked towards Aboli, his eyes filled with lust: "Alright, we can start over now. Honestly, I quite enjoy looking at your face."Aboli said nothing, just tilted her head to the side, seemingly accepting Ray to do whatever he pleased.The woman who just yesterday had been struggling and trying to escape could now only lie down and wait for his actions, which greatly pleased Ray.Simultaneously, a great sense of comfort arose within him. He leaned down without any caution, kissing Aboli's neck. He even took a deep breath afterward, happily stating, "Your scent today really excites me."Upon hearing this, Aboli remained silent, only quirking a smile, her face devoid of any blush, just cold.Ray still hadn't noticed anything unusual. He continued to bury his head in Aboli's neck incessantly, seemingly becoming addicted to her scent. He almost couldn't tear himself away, which was absurd, yet he couldn't realize it at that moment.Ray could only immerse himself in this alluring scent
"Such a beautiful girl, but it's a pity you have to die," Brian's low, icy voice resonated in Aboli's ears. She could almost feel death looming over her at this moment. She wanted to struggle, but couldn't. Memories flooded her mind, from childhood to adulthood, everything seemed to play out like a black and white movie.As she felt her impending demise, a sudden loud noise reverberated as if something had been shattered. Then came Ethan's calm voice, "Sorry, seems like I'm a bit late."As soon as Ethan spoke, Aboli felt the hand gripping her neck tighten a bit more, as if Brian wanted to quickly end her life before Ethan's arrival. However, he couldn't execute that because Ethan raised his hand, something shot out from it, aimed straight at Brian's wrist.Brian could only feel unimaginable pain, he almost let go immediately! Aboli fell to the ground, hastily clutching her neck, gasping for air, struggling to breathe, wheezing violently.Tears streamed down her face, even drool, b
