Chapter 616novelbin

When Kayla slowly rose from her seat, Ethan realized that she was wearing robotic legs right from herknees underneath her

coat.

“Your legs…” He was slightly surprised.

Her striking red lips beamed into a smile. “Is it weird? You should’ve known that anything could happenthe moment you abandoned me.”

He wasn’t happy with the way she put it, but he was too lazy to correct her.

He asked indifferently, “Tell me, what do you want?”

Kayla didn’t expect him to be this indifferent after noticing her legs, hence the unhappy glint in hereyes.

Suppressing the upsetting emotions in her, she smiled. “I know that you’re loaded with cash, so I don’twant anything material. I want you to sleep with me.”

Ethan’s fingers, which were holding the photo, froze. He thought he heard it wrongly. “What did yousay?”

She didn’t show a hint of awkwardness at all. Her eyes seemed crazed instead.

Abruptly, she hugged him from behind him.

Frowning, he shoved her away.

Since her legs were disabled, she failed to capture her balance and fell onto the ground.

“Ethan, you’re still heartless as you were before,” claimed Kayla with teary eyes.

He slid his chair to stand up. His eyes were cold. “And you’re still having wild imaginations as you didbefore. Kayla, I told you five years ago that I don’t like you.”

She flashed a self-mocking smile. “You chose to sponsor me that year because of my face, didn’t you?”

“Yes. You looked somewhat like her, especially your side profile,” Ethan answered without hesitation.

That was the cruel truth, but she had been having delusions.

Ten years ago, he sponsored Kayla, who came from poverty and aced her studies.

Her journey moving from that little village to Aldenvine was full of hurdles.

She had always wanted to meet the person she was indebted to, then she met him.

At that time, although Ethan was aloof to her, he had never mistreated her when it came to materialgoods.

He even took her to his mansion after she was bullied in school.

The busy Ethan often went on many business trips, but seeing him a few times a year was enough tomake her happy.

She worked harder to develop herself like an ugly duckling determined to be a swan.

Other people had always thought she came from a rich family. No one knew her past. Even she herselfalmost thought that it was the reality.

When she turned 18, she confessed her feelings to Ethan in her coming-to-age ceremony.

Kayla had always thought that she was someone special to him. Even though he had never doneanything intimate to her, he often stared at her blankly.

The naive Kayla mistook that as a sign that he liked her. To her surprise, a sweet relationship didn’tcome to her after the confession but a cruel reality instead.

Ethan turned her down explicitly, stating that he helped her out solely because of pity. Never once hadhe bore feelings for her.

In order to quell her feelings for him, he even sent her abroad for studies.

Kayla didn’t know where it went wrong. She clearly sensed that he treated her differently.

If it wasn’t love, why would he choose her out of so many people?

She didn’t want to go abroad, so she made a daring decision and asked someone to kidnap her.

She wanted to test Ethan.

In the end, reality proved that she didn’t mean anything to him.

She lost her legs in that tragic kidnapping incident.

Ethan never once paid her a visit after that. So, her furious elder brother confronted Ethan.

Her brother visited Miller Group for a week before managing to meet Ethan, but he still refused to seeKayla. He told her brother to relay a message. “We have nothing to do with each other from todayonward.”
