Chapter 14
The Fargeat Group’s business attack on the Keith Group came fast and hard.
Jordan couldn’t bear to hand over the business he worked so hard for, so he stayed up all night fighting back, but still couldn’t handle Ethan’s thunderous tactics.
Wh
What made him even more desperate was that, when he was already overwhelmed, he actually found out that his wife and daughter were all missing!
Realizing how serious things were, Jordan didn’t dare to tough it out anymore.
“I’ll sign!” He rushed into Ethan’s office, “Where’s the equity transfer agreement? I’ll sign it right now!”
But Ethan just said coldly, “The Keith Group was about to become an empty shell. This transfer agreement already didn’t mean anything.”
At that moment, Jordan felt totally hopeless!
He didn’t have the strength to deal with it anymore, so he went to look for his wife and daughter, but found out they were no longer in the country.
His subordinate told him nervously, Gwen was locked up in the abandoned hospital for three whole days. When the iron door opened, the blood under her had already dried up, the baby in her belly was long gone, and she was barely alive.
As for Diana, when they found her, they saw that her whole body had multiple fractures, her mind was already messed up, and she had even

bitten off her own tongue.
Jordan didn’t expect Ethan to be this ruthless.
He tried to expose his crimes, but there was no one to help, so he just watched as the Keith Group was slowly taken over and finally ended up in Ethan’s hands.
After that, he got really sick and never got better.
After doing all this, Ethan actually felt a sense of relief.
He finally helped Adelia deal with those people who had hurt her.
And the next one waiting to atone was himself.
Ethan found the assistant and asked him for Adelia’s current address.
Who knew, the assistant actually knelt down in front of him with a “thud.”
“Sorry, Mr. Fargeat, I lied to you.
Ethan’s eyes suddenly turned cold, “Make it clear.”
“Mrs. Fargeat did go abroad and went to Britain.” The assistant clenched their fists tightly, knuckles turning white, “But she didn’t actually settle there. The photos I sent you later were all edited afterwards.”
Ethan’s blood/froze, and there was a buzzing in his ears.
Those photos he had touched so many times, the comfort that got him through all those long nights, were actually all fake?
“So, where was Adelia now?”
“I don’t know either,” the assistant said, voice trembling. “Mrs. Fargeat

just told me to use fake photos to keep you calm. She didn’t tell me anything else.”
“She didn’t tell you, so you wouldn’t ask?”
Ethan suddenly stood up, and the sudden pressure made the assistant lower his head even more.
After a long time, the assistant finally choked up and said, “Mr. Fargeat, I’ve always felt bad about what happened to Mrs. Fargeat.”
J’After she was wrongly accused by Ms. Gwen, I was the one who pushed her off the cliff…”
“Back then Mrs. Fargeat had just had a miscarriage, but I still did that to her. After I found out the truth, I couldn’t sleep well every day.”
“So, when she asked that you never find her again, I agreed to it…”
Ethan’s face turned really awful when he heard that.
During this time, he always thought Adelia was enjoying a relaxed life in Britain, so he didn’t bother her on purpose.
I didn’t expect it, she had already left there!
“Find her.” Ethan slowly straightened up, his knuckles making a dull sound on the desk. “Even if you have to dig three feet underground, you have to find her!”
***
Half a year later, on a ship sailing across the vast sea.
Adelia stood on the deck, letting the sea breeze blow through her long
hair.

“It’s windy here, don’t catch a cold.”
Behind her, a handsome man in a white tracksuit put a blanket over her shoulders.
Adelia turned around and saw it was Vaughn Anderson. She smiled a little and said, “Thanks.”
Vaughn and Adelia stood side by side and asked her, “Your first work got published successfully. How do you feel?”
Adelia thought for a moment and said, “It was like a dream.”
It had been a while since she went abroad.
Back then, she went to Britain first, then got on this ship and became a “writer at sea.
She longed for freedom, and life at sea just happened to be carefree, so she quickly fit in and forgot all the troubles she had back home.
During this time, Adelia picked up writing novels again after a long
break.
Before she married Ethan, her dream was to be a novelist, but no one in her family supported her, and they even sneered at what she wrote.
It seemed like, in their eyes, only Gwen’s dreams were worth respecting.
Later, she married Ethan in Gwen’s place and just focused on being a good wife to him. She never thought about writing again.
Until she left America.
Met Vaughn on this ship.
