CHAPTER 134: CHAPTER 134: WENDY BELL THREATENS YVETTE ASTON TO STAY QUIET

The next day, Ethan Grant woke up with a terrible headache.

Damn... it’s that feeling again.

Propping himself up, Ethan Grant looked at the already empty bed with a somber face.

Last night...

The feeling of the hangover made Ethan Grant feel uncomfortable, he raised his hand to rub his brow, the atmosphere heavy.

Six years ago, he was set up once, didn’t expect to fall into the same trap six years later.

"Ethan, you’re awake." Wendy Bell came out of the bathroom, holding a freshly washed towel. "Wipe your face..."

Her voice was a bit hoarse, with a hint of shyness, her cheeks flushed deeply.

Ethan Grant glanced coldly at Wendy Bell, his voice icy. "Wendy Bell, I didn’t pursue the matters from six years ago because it was too long ago, do you take me for a fool?"

Calculating against him time and again, truly damnable.

"Ethan..." Wendy Bell took a deep breath, looking innocent. "Ethan, I don’t know what you mean, it really wasn’t me, I was just... taking care of you last night."

"Ha, taking care of me? Should I be responsible for you?" Ethan Grant sneered.

Wendy Bell bowed her head, shyly biting her lip corner. "We... we were supposed to be engaged, and six years ago..."

"Get out." Ethan Grant cut off Wendy Bell’s words, telling her to leave.

Wendy Bell paused, panic-stricken as she looked at Ethan Grant, eyes turning red. "Ethan, believe me..."

Ethan Grant’s mood was low, not wanting to repeat himself.

"Mr. Grant!" Outside, Christopher Carter also rushed back, his voice urgent.

"Ethan..." Wendy Bell was scared by Ethan Grant’s anger, she probably had never seen such a terrifying side of Ethan Grant.

"Miss Bell... please leave first." Christopher Carter took a deep breath, nervously asking Wendy Bell to leave first. "We can talk about it later."

After sending Wendy Bell out, Christopher Carter closed the door securely, returning, trembling. "Mr. Grant, it’s all my fault, didn’t remind Yvette properly, this matter... how are you planning to handle it?"

"When you see one cockroach, there are already countless others. Start investigating with Secretary Ziegler, don’t let one escape!" Ethan Grant got out of bed, his voice cold.

Christopher Carter was terrified, his legs going weak, considering how intense last night’s affair had been... Ethan Grant’s body was covered in scratches.

Unexpectedly, Miss Wendy Bell, who seemed gentle and weak, turned out to be quite wild.

Taking a deep breath, Christopher Carter really wanted to die.

If Ethan Grant really erupted, he could frighten someone to death.

"Mr... Mr. Grant... Secretary Ziegler is someone arranged by Mr. Grant." That’s someone from the chairman.

Ethan Grant’s gaze froze as he looked at Christopher Carter.

Christopher Carter was so scared he quickly lowered his head. "I... I’ll go investigate right away, last night... where did Yvette go?"

Ethan Grant frowned, saying nothing.

Preparing new clothes for Ethan Grant, Christopher Carter dared not ask more, quickly fleeing the room.

At this moment, Ethan Grant was suffocating.

Making Christopher Carter recall six years ago.

Six years ago, Ethan Grant was set up, leaving the hotel in the same state as now.

...

The hotel’s back garden.

Yvette Aston leaned in the pavilion, sleeping groggily for a long time.

Her body was somewhat feverish, having been teased severely last night, she might have a fever.

"Yvette, Ethan has already agreed to our engagement, last night’s events... you should know what to say and what not to say, right?" Wendy Bell approached, standing before Yvette.

Yvette Aston raised her hand to rub her forehead, not saying a word.

"Melody Crowe is also in Solara, heard she got along very well with Mr. Aldridge’s mother, generously gifting the old lady a set of jade jewelry worth millions." Wendy Bell reminded Yvette. "So, at the afternoon’s bidding, Ethan Grant might not be able to win against Jayden Grant."

Once Jayden Grant secures this project, even if it temporarily doesn’t threaten Ethan Grant’s position, it establishes a solid foundation for himself.

In the eyes of the board, Jayden Grant’s ability is lacking, naturally not comparable to Ethan Grant.

But if Jayden Grant secures the project this time, he can gain the board’s approval.

Coupled with Melody Crowe’s support, Jayden Grant could soon directly threaten Ethan Grant’s status.

Yvette Aston clenched her fingers tightly, lowering her head without speaking.

"Yvette, can’t you help me? I also want to help Ethan, but he is very resistant to me now, he thinks I’m plotting against him, I’m really unjust." Wendy Bell fondly hugged Yvette’s arm. "Yvette, can’t you help me?"

Yvette instinctively avoided Wendy Bell, curling up and hugging her legs tightly, saying nothing.

"Do you know why Ethan hates me? Because six years ago, he was plotted against, we only had relations because of it. He always thinks I’m plotting against him, he’s a neat freak, even though I was a virgin, he was prideful about it for so many years, let alone..." Wendy Bell implied. "Yvette, I’m really doing this for your good, whether or not you had anything with Ethan last night, if he finds out, do you know how terrifying the consequences are?"

Yvette’s eyes reddened, just holding herself, she still didn’t speak.

"Three years ago, a celebrity named Cynthia Hollister, the top flow back then, was pretending to be smart at a cocktail party, calculated Ethan deliberately approached him, she was buried directly by him, heard she’s in a mental hospital now, completely insane." Wendy Bell innocently spoke terrifying words.

She was scaring Yvette.

"I’m telling you, Ethan just disliked that woman for being dirty, because she’d been with many big bosses, countless backers, even had children."

Yvette’s fingers gripped her palm tightly, her palm was raw and painful.

"Yvette, I really like you, I don’t want you to be hurt, do you understand my meaning?" Wendy Bell spoke patiently.

Yvette hugged her legs tighter.

If Ethan finds out about what happened last night... he will surely think she plotted against him, right?

She doesn’t want Ethan to hate her.

Red-eyed, Yvette felt unable to control her urge to cry.

"That day, I went to kindergarten to pick up my cousin’s child, I saw Summers, Summers was so obedient, such a good child, if there’s no mother to grow up with, it’s really a pity." Wendy Bell again gave Yvette a strong dose.

"My sister... is coming back, you know that, right? Her heart isn’t good, she needs medical parole."

Yvette suddenly raised her head to look at Wendy Bell, her eyes filled with intense fear.

Claudia Bell is coming back...

Yvette couldn’t control her body from shaking, most of the dark moments in her past were given by Claudia Bell.

This time she made her into a detention center, she definitely won’t let her go.

Breath steaming as she hugged herself, Yvette bit hard at the corner of her lip.

She can’t let Ethan hate her, she can’t be without Ethan’s protection...

She still needs Ethan.

So, Ethan can’t know what happened last night.

"Yvette! What are you doing hiding here! Mr. Grant is furious, where did you run off to last night." Christopher Carter came over, his anger clear as he scolded Yvette.

Seeing Wendy Bell was also there, Christopher Carter obediently shut up.

Wendy Bell gave Yvette a meaningful glance.

"I... I couldn’t find Mr. Grant last night..." Yvette lowered her head, her voice hoarse.

Wendy Bell raised the corners of her mouth, relieved as she left.

She knew, Yvette didn’t dare to speak out.
