Ethan’s Vengeance of Love

Chapter 58



Chapter 58

No! I won’t approve of this! I can’t bear to send my child away. I can’t! Alice was curious to hear what Ethan had to say. “Caroline belongs to the Knight Family.” The man spoke in a firm and unwavering tone as he stared at her. “So, she has to come home to us.”

His words are so f*cking harsh and straightforward! I can’t even act as if I don’t understand what he’s saying! Why can’t he be a little less explicit about his needs? He’s so bold and demanding that he gives me the urge to punch him. Even though Ethan didn’t say much, his intentions were clear—he was going to bring Caroline home regardless of whether Alice approved of it. Furthermore, Alice didn’t feel like she could reject Ethan’s request.

If Caroline had belonged to another family, or if someone else had approached Alice, Alice might have felt more worried. However, she knew that she had no reason to worry if Caroline was entering the Knight Family. The Knight Family was practically a model family in town—they were extremely respectable people. Ethan’s grandfather was a war veteran and a leader, while one of his sons was a government official with high authority. Ethan himself was focused on the business side of things, and Knight Group was one of the top companies in the whole country. It was rumored that Ethan was more active in charity than he was in his business at this point.

A family like the Knights wouldn’t lie to Alice about such things. Furthermore, Alice knew that she had no reason to stop Caroline from returning to the family, who shared the same blood as her. Even though Alice felt really heartbroken, a part of her had always hoped for Caroline to find her biological family and return to them. Ethan stared at Alice without saying anything else.

“What are your terms and conditions, Miss Woland? You can tell us what you want.” Caleb had been standing beside Ethan the whole time, and he figured that it’d only be appropriate for him to speak up and offer something, especially since Alice had cared for Caroline for the past few years. Even though most of the evidence indicated that Alice wasn’t the one who slept with Ethan that night, Caleb knew that Ethan treated Alice in a manner that was different from the way he treated other girls. Furthermore,

with all that happened with Caroline, Caleb was certain that Ethan would agree to whatever Alice wanted.

Right then, Caleb recalled what had happened with Woland Group. It seems like Mr. Knight wasn’t too pleased after hearing that Woland Group had been handed over to Bruce. Why doesn’t he just help Miss Woland get the company back? Someone as capable as Mr. Knight can probably get this done with the snap of a finger. “Miss Woland, your wedding with Bruce didn’t work out, so…” Caleb wanted to say that they could help Alice to regain control over the Woland Group since the wedding didn’t work out.

However, Alice was in a pretty bad mood then. The child she had taken care of for the past three years was about to be snatched away from her after she was presented with a few DNA tests. Anyone in her position would feel horrible. Alice might have felt a little better if she hadn’t cared for Caroline, but the truth was that she cared for Caroline to a point where she felt like she had sacrificed more for Caroline than she did for Apollo. She felt as if someone was slicing off a piece of her and digging her heart out at that moment. On top of that, she felt especially horrible since the other party was speaking to her in such a demanding manner!

She wasn’t as patient as she usually was, and she interrupted Caleb before he could finish his words. “Yeah, the wedding didn’t happen. So what? Are you guys going to kidnap a guy and make him marry me?” Alice was annoyed at the other party’s haughty demeanor. What do they mean when they tell me to just voice out my terms and conditions? Do they think that I can’t handle things on my own? Do I look like I need their help? Do they think I cared for Caroline because I was interested in the Knight Family’s wealth?

Alice was fuming. However, she knew that everything she said at that moment was fueled—she just wanted to let out some steam. She knew that the Knight Family was powerful, but she also knew that they weren’t the type to bully others with their power. It was impossible for them to kidnap Bruce just for

him to get married to her. My precious little Caroline is about to be snatched away from me. Am I not allowed to throw a little tantrum? That’s nonsense!

“Get it done,” Ethan shot Alice a glance before turning to Caleb and giving him orders. “Get what done?” Caleb, who had always been smart and well aware of what Ethan was thinking, was stunned by the orders he received. What does Ethan want me to do? Does he want me to kill Bruce? Or does he want me to do what Miss Woland said—to kidnap Bruce and force him to marry her? T-That’s not possible, right? No, no way… It’d make more sense if Mr. Knight were to stop Miss Woland from being with Bruce.

Alice was just as surprised. Yeah. What does Ethan want him to do? Alice didn’t understand what was going on either. She had just muttered some nonsense out of anger, and she hadn’t expected Ethan to take her seriously. “I want you to settle the marriage documents.” Ethan parted his sexy lips to give Caleb clearer orders.

Caleb stared at Ethan dumbfoundedly. I’m sorry, Mr. Knight. I have no idea what you’re talking about. Alice froze for a moment as well. She assumed that Ethan was referring to her marriage documents with Bruce. “There’s no need for that. Bruce and I—”

Ethan held his hand up and pointed at Alice. “Marriage documents for the two of us,” he uttered.

Alice started coughing as she choked on her own saliva. She had always assumed that she was a calm and collected person after all that she had been through, but she was genuinely shocked by what she just heard. Caleb felt his knees buckle with shock—he was just as taken aback as Alice was. All the evidence clearly indicates that Miss Woland wasn’t the one who slept with Mr. Knight that night. If that’s the case, why would he still want to marry Miss Woland? Is this for Miss Caroline?

“No, no. Mr. Knight, I believe I might have made some mistakes with my sentence earlier. Please give me a chance to rephrase my words. I’ll speak in a more comprehensible way.” Alice felt like she had to

clarify her words. “I was just joking earlier, Mr. Knight.” Alice wondered if her joke had gone too far.

“I don’t joke around with others.” Ethan stared at her as he spoke. He had always been known for having a straightforward and simple personality. “Well, I believe you misunderstood my intentions, Mr. Knight. I need money. I really need money now. I lost my marriage and my company; I have no identity and no place to call home. I’m practically a homeless woman at this point. I might even starve to my death on the streets someday…” Alice tried her best to force some tears out of her eyes, but it didn’t work. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

My acting is horrible today. That’s odd. I had done so well when I was dealing with Bruce. Why am I so bad in front of Mr. Knight? Since Alice couldn’t force any tears out, she tried her best to put on a puppy- eyed look as she stared at Ethan. Deep down, Alice didn’t want money. She already had all the money she needed. However, this option was much better than selling herself to another man. I once heard somewhere that issues aren’t issues when they can be resolved with money. Things get easy if they can be settled with money.

“How much do you want?” Ethan was surprised for a moment. After some hesitation, he allowed Alice to name her price.
