She sidestepped a little to the side, afraid that his fury would continue its assaults at her, but all he did was ask
gently, "The truth is, you can just easily give up on your boyfriend as well, right? Because nobody is important to
you."
A delusional idea crossed Grace's mind. Perhaps Ethan was mad because she had tried to leave without telling
him and not because of the incident regarding Jodie.
A closer look revealed his tensed fingertips. The suffocating emotional weight he was suppressing was evident
even in his wrist bones.
This was the first tshe had seen Ethan like this. It was not intense passion but fury-fervent, unadulterated
fury.
She was about to say something but was soon at a loss for words in the next second. The memories replayed in
her head.
Those who eventually got on Ethan's bad side seemed to have their lives end in tragedy. Even though he
appeared to be someone refined and well-mannered, he was someone who would do anything to make
someone's life hell if they were to cross him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGrace, being a sharp-witted person, instantly fell to her knees. Her manner was marked by deep reverence. "Mr.
Henderson, I'm the only one who's got anything to do with this."
She heard a chuckle coming from him. She was not sure if it was a frustrated snicker.
Grace was under the illusion that no matter what she did from here on out, she would just be adding fuel to the
flame, so she just continued kneeling on the floor and stopped talking altogether.
Ethan started coughing all of a sudden. It was not long before he steered his wheelchair out of the room, leaving
Grace kneeling back there.
When the elevator got to the upper floor, Tim was already waiting, all worried. The moment he saw Ethan, he
could not help but cry out, "Mr. Henderson..."
Ethan waved his hand dismissively
to tell him that he was fine. He
entered his study and se
in front
his computer. He still had a bunch of overseas meetings scheduled. s
He needed something to clear his mind. But the more he stared at the computer, the more he was
bombarded by the racing et
and noise inside his head s
In the end, he slowly let his eyes close. His Adam's apple bobbed slightly. "Tim."
Tim entered the room from a corner. He looked like he had just been put in a tight spot. "Is it regarding Ms.
Henderson? What do you have in mind?"
Ethan pulled open a drawer. There was a ring inside the drawer. He let his fingers play with the ring. Somehow,
this brought him srelief.
"Let's reveal her identity."
Tim did not question further and just gently turned around. "Got it. I'll deal with it right away."
Nobody knew about Jodie's real identity. After all, Ethan had picked her up from the streets. Out of respect for
him, nobody ever questioned her identity.
Jordan also doted on her as if she were his biological granddaughter.
It didn't even take half an hour for the shocking news to spread within the social circle one that was even more
shocking than the news of Grace being involved with a younger escort who was under her care.
s
It turned out that Jodie's past was related to a high-profile corruption case that happened 20 years ago!
