Chapter 10
Dusk fell, and the city lights came on.
Ethan stood by the river, and the moonlight cast a layer of cold frost on
his face.
There was a man tied up and kneeling in front of him, bowing his head to him over and over.
him
“Mr. Fargeat, please, please let my son go!”
Ethan’s guy pushed the stroller, and the wheels were just inches from the
river.
“Tell me the truth, and I’ll let him go.”
A flash of fear crossed the man’s eyes, “Mr. Fargeat, I didn’t understand what you were saying…”
“Can’t understand?” Ethan chuckled. “I’ll only give you three numbers.”
“After I count to three, if I still don’t hear anything useful from you, I’ll send your son where he belongs.”
Ethan stared at the man’s trembling face and started counting down.
“Three-”
“Two-”
The moment the stroller tilted toward the river, the man couldn’t hold it together anymore and broke down, shouting, “I’ll talk, I’ll talk!”
“The cursed video at the farewell party, falling off the cliff, and the fire at

the art exhibition were all staged by Diana and Gwen, that mother and daughter!”
“I helped them with this because my son had congenital heart disease, and they promised they would cure my son’s illness…”
“I could prove Miss Adelia was innocent!”
The man shakily handed over his phone.
“Here are my chat logs with that mother and daughter, Mr. Fargeat, I was really forced…”
Ethan took the phone and randomly opened a voice message.
Gwen’s nasty voice came out right away.
“A curse should definitely be a bit more vicious, otherwise Dad and Ethan wouldn’t have taken it out on her. Anyway, it’s not like I really got a terminal illness, so it wouldn’t matter.”
“Adelia was going to church tomorrow, and you were in charge of knocking her out and taking her to the edge of the cliff. I had the rest covered.”
“Go set the art exhibition on fire for me, burn everything to the ground, I wanted Ethan to be completely disappointed in Adelia…”
The more Ethan listened, the colder the look in his eyes got.
And Gwen’s nasty comments were far from over..
“Adelia was Jian San’s daughter. If it weren’t for her, everything in the Keith family would have been mine!”
“She not only took my property, she also took my man.”

“So what if Ethan knew? Back then I dumped her for a rich guy overseas, and now I’m back, isn’t he still dying to get back together with me?”
The man kept his head down and didn’t dare say a word the whole time.
He thought Ethan would blow up.
However, in reality, things were calm.
Ethan waved for his men to pull the stroller back and said to the man calmly, “I’ll treat your son’s illness. As for you…”
“Don’t tell Gwen a single word about what happened today.”
The man paused, and instinctively wanted to ask why.
But when I saw Ethan’s cold look, I swallowed my question.
After the person left, the assistant couldn’t help but ask Ethan, “Mr. Fargeat, are you just going to let Ms. Gwen go like that?”
Ethan stared at the shimmering lake and said in a low voice, “Of course not.”
He thought Gwen was innocent and just chasing her dreams.
Little did they know, the real her was sly and vicious, cold–blooded and
heartless.
She made Adelia lose her baby, got misunderstood, and was finally kicked out of the country.
Even when I ran away from the wedding back then, it wasn’t to chase my dreams, it was a complete betrayal of him.
Ethan’s heart hurt like it was being torn apart, but his face stayed calm, like the calm before a storm.
