2024-10-29 19:42:56Ethan 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 other incident, and I'm sure I can offer you the reward you want."
Ethan shook his head in response. "No need, I just want to ensure the Dragon's Blood Grass can safely reach me. I'll protect you until the end of the dinner as a token of appreciation for the Dragon's Blood Grass."
In reality, finding the ingredients for Ethan's medicine was quite difficult.
Just treating Mr. Campbell could get him the Dragon's Blood Grass, which was incredibly easy, so Ethan felt that protecting Aboli wouldn't be an issue.
Moreover, Aboli was truly a good girl, someone they could be friends with.
Seeing Ethan respond so readily, Aboli's lips curved up slightly, and in this way, she and Ethan could have more time to interact with each other.
She wanted to see if Ethan had any talents that would surprise her further.
Time passed swiftly, and before they knew it, it was the evening of the following day, the very night of the Campbell family's business dinner.
Thanks to Ethan, Mr. Campbell, who had been bedridden just the day before, was now able to stand with a cane and host the dinner normally. It was truly a miracle!
At the StarS building of the Campbell conglomerate, a hotel that combined modern beauty with classic elegance, considered a haven for couples traveling.
The scenery inside the hotel could even surpass many tourist spots in Gloria.
Alice walked through the hotel's main gate and into the dinner party.
She stood out on the red carpet, her red dress flowing elegantly, making her look even more stunning and radiant.
Her beautiful face almost made her the center of attention immediately!
The secretary following Alice was amazed as she looked at the scenery inside the StarS hotel.
Although she had been here before, today the place was extravagantly decorated, with sparkling lights and fresh flowers everywhere, making it feel more like a flower garden than a hotel.
She couldn't help but say, "This place is stunning."
Alice smiled a little ambitiously in response, "We're also trying to make AG become like this."
The secretary immediately nodded vigorously, clasping her hands together, saying, "I believe you can do it, Madam Chairwoman. You are truly the most talented young woman I know!"
Alice chuckled a bit but said nothing.
As the two were conversing, someone suddenly approached.
"Alice, you're here. I've been waiting for you."
The tone sounded very familiar.
Boster smiled as he said this, getting closer to Alice.
Alice subtly shifted away.
Boster noticed and rolled his eyes, his gaze turning solemn, but quickly returned to normal.
He smiled, saying, "Alice, haven't you thought about my proposal? Can't you have any feelings for me? We can get to know each other; you've already agreed to me."
Alice looked at Boster, devoid of much emotion, and said, "You know, I just got divorced; I haven't fully sorted out my feelings yet."
Of course, this was just an excuse for her; she didn't really fancy Boster that much.
Boster smiled again, "That's okay, I don't mind. I'm sure I can help AG a lot. Your company can definitely secure a partnership with the Campbell family!"
His words were confident, as if he already had everything in his grasp.
The secretary quickly smiled happily and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Boster. You're truly amazing, even better than some people. Our chairman is indeed worthy of talented individuals like you!"
Boster smiled cheerfully at that, paying no attention to Alice, who was looking elsewhere.
On the other side, Ethan stood amidst the splendid scenery, wearing a simple outfit.
Alice didn't even have time to wonder why the man she deemed useless was present at this grand dinner.
She just wanted to approach him and explain to Ethan the reason for her misunderstanding.
But just as she was about to step forward, her gaze collided with another figure.
A beautiful woman stood next to Ethan.
She was truly stunning, her white dress making her appear even more coldly pure, like a beautiful flower on a snowy mountain, mesmerizing from afar but unreachable.

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

"I never expected there could be such foolish women in the world, getting entangled in love; it's never a good thing," mocked the secretary at Aboli as they made their way to the center of the party.Boster, standing beside her, chuckled and added, "Exactly, especially falling for the wrong person."Boster's mood wasn't entirely comfortable.He truly didn't understand what Ethan had that could make beautiful girls go after him.Alice was already beautiful, and the girl just now was no less.Clearly, Ethan was just an ordinary man, less charismatic than anyone else, not even worthy of comparison!As Boster looked towards Alice walking ahead, intending to say a few words to belittle Ethan, Alice suddenly spoke up, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. From now on, Ethan and I have nothing to do with each other; hearing his name just makes me feel disgusted!"Hearing Alice's words, Boster smiled contentedly, saying nothing more.At this moment, Alice looked towards the secretary a
I'm Not A Useless Son-in-law Chapter 13: The Choice
A few minutes ago, at the center of the Campbell family's business party.Everything was proceeding perfectly.On the stage, the performers danced and sang without pause.They all had excellent skills, and the atmosphere in the party was lively.At a large table right in the center, only Ethan was sitting there at the moment, drinking alone.It seemed he had had quite a lot to drink, but these glasses of alcohol couldn't really affect him much.His perfect appearance and excessively simple attire compared to this party attracted a lot of attention.However, most people here knew what that seat meant, so even though they kept speculating in their hearts, they hadn't done anything foolish.At this moment, a few people suddenly approached, and they were none other than Alice's group.Seeing Ethan sitting here, surprise was evident on their faces.Boster and the secretary almost immediately furrowed their brows.Obviously, Ethan had no collaboration with the Campbell family, they could tr

Alice opened her eyes wide at this information, almost incredulous.She didn't need to participate in the final evaluation and directly become a partner of the Campbell family. It was truly unbelievable!She glanced at Boster, a glimmer of light apparent in her eyes.Boster had just called Mr. Smith, and even though she didn't want to believe it, there was only one possibility at the moment.Boster's call had helped her!Alice then looked at Boster and said with a slightly bowed head, sincerely, "Thank you so much, truly, thank you."The secretary on the side quickly added, "Mr. Boster, you're amazing! With just one call from you, everything has been salvaged!"Boster smiled, though a keen observer would notice a hint of stiffness in his smile.He didn't feel this was something his father would do.Moreover, even if his father did help, things certainly wouldn't have unfolded this quickly.However, looking at Alice's eyes along with Ethan sitting beside her, he still smiled and nodded
I'm Not A Useless Son-in-law Chapter 15: Stirring Trouble
Ethan truly didn't expect Alice to say such words.What surprised him even more was Alice's trust in Boster, someone she had known for fewer years than him.He looked at Alice with deep eyes, but ultimately said nothing more. He felt that no matter what he said, Alice wouldn't change her perspective.However, Alice felt increasingly uncomfortable facing Ethan's gaze.She seemed to struggle to control her emotions once again.She looked at Ethan and said in a low voice, "I'll say this to you one last time. I've given you advice, but it seems you're not remorseful for your words. Reevaluate your attitude if you want to progress. But if you don't want to improve, then continue as you are."Boster, upon hearing Alice's words, felt almost jubilant to the point of wanting to burst into laughter.However, he restrained himself and showed magnanimity, saying, "I don't pay much attention to Ethan's actions and words. Everyone has moments when jealousy clouds their judgment."Alice, upon hearin

A tall group of people suddenly appeared, causing the atmosphere to immediately become tense.Despite the guards' efforts to stop them, nothing seemed to work.He could only quickly leave, glancing back as if to call someone.Boster saw Cecil, but turning back to the group, he immediately felt an ominous premonition.He had just fought this man, and now he returned with a group of tall bodyguards, their intentions clear even without thinking: they surely wanted revenge!Boster instinctively took a step back.Quickly, he pulled out his phone. If Cecil could call someone, then so could he!But before he could do anything, a tall bodyguard rushed forward with astonishing speed, delivering a swift kick to Boster's wrist.Boster cried out in pain, dropping his phone to the ground, the screen instantly cracked. But he had no time to care about the phone now.His wrist seemed dislocated, if not broken!Grimacing, he tried to suppress the pain, glaring at Cecil's group and growling, "Do you kn
I'm Not A Useless Son-in-law Chapter 17: A True Hero
Almost as soon as Ethan finished speaking, Cecil's group burst into laughter, clutching their stomachs.Cecil laughed until tears streamed down his face, "Ha ha ha, what are you thinking? You demand to kill me, the heir of the Benjamin gang? Ha ha ha, that's hilarious, it's been a while since I heard something so amusing ha ha ha."He continued laughing while incessantly slapping his thigh.His bodyguards also burst into laughter, clearly feeling that Ethan was truly foolish and arrogant, unaware of what he was facing.The surrounding guests looked at Ethan, their eyes carrying judgment.Cecil finally stopped laughing after a while.He looked at Ethan disdainfully and said, "Don't overestimate yourself like that. You should just leave if you don't want to die!"Ethan seemed almost indifferent to the contemptuous looks and mockery around him.He looked at Cecil and said in a firm tone, "I don't care if you're the heir of the Benjamin gang or not. Right now, release Alice immediately."E
