At the Kingston Residence, Yale was pushing over everything on the
desk.
“You all are a bunch of trash! How could you let him escape when you
had him surrounded?”
“He suffered several gunshot wounds, Mr. Kingston. Even if he got away, he wouldn’t survive for long. You don’t have to worry about him.”
“Dead? Then where’s the body? If he’s alive, I want him here, and if he’s dead, I want to see the body. Linus is already suspicious of me. If you don’t find him before the Heaths get to him, I will be doomed!”
It didn’t matter if Linus or Ethan was suspicious of him. There wasn’t any evidence. The only witness was Jack.
But his people looked all over Aldenvine and couldn’t find him. It
made Yale uneasy.
“Mr. Kingston, there’s no use getting all worked up over this. Our people are looking for him right now. We’ll inform you as soon as we
have any updates.”
Yale slumped into his chair and rubbed his temples. How did things
turn out like that?
“By the way, Mr. Kingston. I think the more important thing is that the
Heaths are planning on having Ethan marry Ms. Heath.”
“They had brought that up several times in the past. That bitch Krystal
only had eyes for Ethan no matter what I did for her.”
Yale was completely different from Ethan. He was very clear-headed.
He didn’t care about love or relationships. He only cared about his personal interests and bringing glory to his family.
He started pursuing Krystal a few years ago. He knew that Mason would only entrust him with more power if he married Krystal.
If that happened, he would be able to reach new heights and completely defeat Ethan.
It was like Krystal was brainwashed. No matter how many times Ethan rejected her, she wouldn’t give up on him.
“Mr. Heath was almost killed this time. If he stands his ground, Ethan might not be able to reject him again. It might be too late if we don’t
make a move.”
Yale lit a cigarette. His expression turned mysterious as he said, “Let
me think about it.”
It was late at night when Ethan and Olivia finished doing it. His chest was still heaving heavily.
They have done it countless times, but he could never get tired of it. Instead, he grew even more obsessive over Olivia’s body.
Especially when she just finished performing surgeries. She was practically glowing, so much so that he had the urge to hide her away.
Olivia lay in his embrace. “The Heaths will never forgive you for that.
What do you plan to do next?”
Since Yale was just someone they brought into the fold to keep Ethan
in check, it would mean Ethan was the man they wanted to marry
Krystal.
Yale was uneasy, but so were the Heaths. They just wanted things to blow over and convince Ethan to join their family.
Even if Ethan rejected them this time, they would find another way to
get him to say yes.
“I’ll deal with whatever they throw at me. As long as you’re by my side,
I do not fear anything.”
Olivia had changed her name and face. No one knew the relationship between them. It meant they were safe.
Now that they didn’t have a chink in their armor. Their enemies were
the ones in danger.
Olivia saw that Ethan was confident. So, she didn’t probe further.
The next morning, she went into Jack’s room and locked the door.
“Jack, we need to talk.”
Jack set aside the bible he was reading and looked at Olivia. “I know what you want to ask.”
“Can you tell me?” Olivia took a stool and sat next to him.
“Do you have time to listen to a story?”
“Yes. Tell me.”
Jack began to tell her the story about his background and Kurt.
