Chapter 956
Henry stared into Ethan’s eyes.
“The island is yours. Your men were stationed there. How did they escape without you allowing themto?”
Henry wasn’t stupid. He sensed the change in Ethan’s attitude toward Olivia long ago.
“I knew I couldn’t keep it from you.” Ethan didn’t try to keep it from Henry.
“I don’t care about how you want to manage your relationship with your woman. But you shouldn’t havemeddled in my business.” Henry stared at Ethan coldly.
Seeing the tension rise between them, Bryan finally stepped in.
“Alright. To be fair, you wouldn’t have understood your feelings for Ms. Hilton if you hadn’t beenseparated. You can’t pin this on Ethan. They couldn’t have taken her if she didn’t want to leave.
“So, instead of blaming your friend, why don’t you two think about why they wanted to leave?”
Henry sat down dejectedly. “Why? I gave her so much money. Isn’t she in love with money? Why didshe still leave me?”
“Are you dumb or just pretending? If a woman could be bought with money, that would mean she didn’t.really love you. She didn’t want the money and left you. It’s highly possible that she’s really in love with.you.
“But you treat her like a plaything. Since she couldn’t stand it anymore, she could only leave.”
Oftentimes, a bystander could see things with a more objective view.
Henry was stunned. “Are you saying she’s in love with me? But the rules we made up state that we’llkeep feelings out of this relationship.”
Ethan rolled his eyes at him. “If she’s really just a plaything to you, why are you so worked up overher?”
“…”
“Don’t you understand? A plaything can be replaced, but a lover can’t. You’ve fallen in love with her, butyou don’t even know it yet.”
“I’m not in love. I just give her some special treatment.”
“Alright, if there’s no love, why have you lost your appetite? You’ve even been struggling to fall asleepin the past few days. You’ve been throwing a fit at your best friend over her too.”
Ethan’s questions struck a chord. Henry slowly became unsettled,
“Just admit it. You’ve fallen in love with her. If you really love her, you shouldn’t keep her prisoner. Oryou’ll end up like me and lose her forever.”
With bloodshot eyes, Henry said, “I don’t love her. I don’t care where she is.”
Then, he left without looking back.
Bryan shrugged. “He’s just very stubborn when it comes to relationships. He’ll come around eventuallyand realize you’re right.”
“At least he still has a chance to fix their relationship, unlike me. It’s too late for me now. Allowing him tocome to terms with his feelings sooner isn’t a bad thing. But I’m in the wrong too. Jack’s true identitythrew me off completely.”
“That’s not your fault. I heard that things were heated between you and that person.”
Ethan grunted. Since he had the courage to sell me out, I won’t let him off the hook either. There will bea battle between us eventually.”novelbin
In the past, they only challenged each other behind the scenes. Nothing was ever brought into the light.
The incident on the cruise ship intensified their conflict. That person incurred billions in losses, so heturned around and exposed Ethan’s identity.
Ethan almost died on the streets because of that. But since he survived, it was only natural for him toget back at the person.
They had already escalated to open conflicts. Ethan even allowed Olivia to leave his side. It was all forthe sake of getting that position.
Olivia would only be safe if he could clear out everything that posed a threat to her.
But Ethan didn’t know Kurt had a brother. Jack had become the biggest uncertainty in this situation.
Who was he? Was he a friend or foe?
