CHAPTER 150: CHAPTER 150: ANGELIC FACADE, STERLING FAMILY ELDEST SON (PART 2)

Hearing footsteps, Attorney Clayton turned his face.

Seeing that it was Sean Hale who walked into the ward, he continued.

"I’ve thought it over carefully. Currently, the person who might want to harm you could be Adrian Chamberlain, because of the conflict of interests between you. And then there’s Seraphina Thorne..."

"Seraphina?" Ethan Sterling shook his head, "It’s not her."

"I know you like your wife very much, but as your lawyer, I must remind you, if something happens to you, she’s the greatest beneficiary."

"It absolutely can’t be my wife." Sean Hale frowned, indignantly defending Seraphina, "You didn’t even see her state when President Sterling had the accident, she was completely like she’d lost her soul, she loves President Sterling!"

Attorney Clayton was about to say something else, but Ethan Sterling had already raised his right hand.

"It’s not her. When the accident happened, Seraphina tried to protect me, I was the one who pushed her away."

"Did you hear that?" Sean Hale cut a glance at Attorney Clayton, "The lady’s not that kind of person."

Attorney Clayton remained unmoved, "I still stick to my thought."

"You lawyers are just cold-blooded." Sean Hale rolled his eyes at him, "If you ask me, it must be Adrian Chamberlain. You married the lady and took away Zenith Group, he hates you."

Ethan Sterling glanced sideways at the fruit and bouquet on the bedside table, "Throw those out."

Sean Hale picked up the fruit and flowers and threw them into the trash outside the ward.

When he returned, Ethan Sterling continued the previous topic.

"You all overlooked one thing."

Sean Hale and Attorney Clayton exchanged a glance and looked at Ethan Sterling, "What thing?"

Ethan Sterling frowned, "Don’t forget, my last name is Sterling!"

Whether he liked it or not, he was Arthur Sterling’s heir.

And, Arthur Sterling had clearly expressed to him that as long as he was willing to return to the Sterling Family, he would hand over the Sterling Group to him.

If Adrian Chamberlain wanted to target him, there was no need to wait until now.

After meeting Arthur Sterling, the incident happened, naturally making Ethan Sterling ponder more.

Attorney Clayton’s eyebrows twitched sharply, "So... if something happens to you, it’s your half-brother and sister who are the biggest beneficiaries."

Compared to Ethan Sterling’s personal wealth, the value of Sterling Group is higher.

The enormous wealth is enough to drive people crazy.

Sean Hale thought of what Henry Sterling said to him and shook his head lightly.

"If it is Henry Sterling who did this, this person... is really insidious."

"Ethan Sterling!"

Urgent footsteps sounded from outside, and Nathan Foster rushed into the ward, panting.

Seeing Ethan Sterling safe and sound on the bed, he stopped, straightened up after taking a few breaths.

"How did it turn out like this?"

"Car accident!" Ethan Sterling shrugged, "Someone wants my life."

Nathan Foster frowned, "Who?"

"Not sure yet." Ethan Sterling raised his right hand toward him, "Caleb Thorne has made progress, hasn’t he?"

"Found some clues." Nathan Foster walked to his bedside, "I found a few acquaintances and already inquired that Adrian Chamberlain’s lawyer and Henry Sterling are classmates."

"No wonder." Ethan Sterling squinted his eyes, "With Adrian Chamberlain’s limited skills, he couldn’t possibly take us on."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sean Hale’s phone rang.

Listening to the phone held to his ear, he hung up after hearing a few words.

"President Sterling, something happened."

"Speak."

"Someone reported our company for illegal stock price manipulation. Ten minutes ago, the police have already arrived at the company and sealed all computers and files. All domestic branch assets have been frozen."

As soon as Sean Hale finished speaking, Attorney Clayton’s assistant also burst in.

"News just in from home, someone raided the Zenith Group office building and spread rumors of our investigation. As of today’s domestic stock market opening, Zenith Group shares have plummeted."

"Trying to take my life and undermine my company." Ethan Sterling snorted coldly, "The Sterling Family’s eldest son indeed has great skills!"

"This vile and shameless thing." Sean Hale looked furious, "What do we do now?"

Ethan Sterling’s fingers gently caressed the ring on his left hand’s nameless finger.

Suddenly realizing something, he raised his face abruptly.

"Quick... find Seraphina."

"The lady?" Sean Hale didn’t understand, "What do you mean?"

"Idiot!" Ethan Sterling roared in anger, "Go protect her safety, hurry up!"

His weakness was nothing more than two things, his company and Seraphina Thorne.

Since the other party had already started attacking his company, they certainly wouldn’t spare Seraphina either.

Realizing this, Sean Hale rushed out of the ward.

On the bed, because of excessive exertion, Ethan Sterling could not control a severe cough.

Nathan Foster and Attorney Clayton were busy running over, one supporting his shoulders, and the other helping him get warm water.

Ethan Sterling drank a sip of water from the cup and restrained his cough again, leaning back against the pillow.

"Are you sure... it’s really Henry Sterling?" Nathan Foster asked.

In his memory, Henry Sterling had always treated Ethan Sterling like a real brother.

Each time Henry visited abroad, he would visit Ethan Sterling.

Ethan Sterling squinted his eyes, remembering the always smiling face of Henry Sterling.

"You don’t know him. Only I know what kind of person he really is."

Clearly harboring hatred, yet pretending to be the good brother for nearly ten years.

Such a person, ruthlessly, could do anything.

"The most important thing right now is how to protect Seraphina."

"How about..." Attorney Clayton proactively suggested, "I arrange for the lady to stay in Elysia for a while?"

"No." Ethan Sterling shook his head, "Caleb Thorne’s case isn’t over yet, her father is still in the hospital, she can’t leave by herself."

Attorney Clayton and Nathan Foster both fell silent.

As smart as they were, they couldn’t think of a foolproof way to protect Seraphina.

As long as Seraphina remained in Jadeston, even if they arranged bodyguards, they couldn’t ensure her complete safety.

After all, Henry Sterling could fail numerous times.

And for them, a single mistake could mean eternal ruin for Seraphina.

Ethan Sterling withdrew his left hand and placed it on his chest, his fingers gently stroking the blue diamond wedding ring on his nameless finger, lost in thought.

...

...

Meanwhile.

In Seraphina’s ward, the doctor took the report handed over by the nurse and carefully flipped through it.

"Congratulations, Miss Thorne, your current condition is normal, and your blood sugar has returned to normal levels."

Seraphina gave a grateful smile to the doctor, "Does that mean I don’t need to continue treatment?"

"From here on, all you need is proper rest and recuperation. However..." the doctor reminded earnestly, "considering your condition of habitual low blood sugar, I must advise you, especially under these special circumstances, to constantly monitor your blood sugar levels to prevent any adverse effects on the fetus."

"I understand, I will be careful."

Seraphina nodded gently, then upon realizing what the doctor was implying, she widened her eyes and looked up.

"What... what did you say?"

Fetus?

She... she’s pregnant?!
