Chapter 80
“Evelyn,” Ethan said, clearly annoyed as he rubbed his nose, “sending Leah to jail won’t help you at all.
“You know about making the most of things in business,” he continued. “If you drop the case, I can offer you money or even a project for your family.”
“Well, Mr. Grayson, you’re very generous,” said with a smile. Talking to him was really a waste of time. He wanted to protect Leah, and I was on the opposite side.
I turned away and pressed the power button on my computer, waiting for it to start up. Suddenly, Ethan leaned over and blocked me between himself and the desk. He looked at me with ambed expression. “Eve, be reasonable”

Enodded and pushed the door open. Inside, I saw Carl and than sitting together. Seeing Ethan made my heart drop
Riley, you’re here,” Carl said with a friendly smile, pointing to the seat next to Ethan. “Please, sit next to Mr. Grayson”
I stopped and looked at Ethan, who was looking back at me. I felt very uncomfortable. Did Ethan know about Jack’s plans?
Book a deep breathi, kept my toelingsudden, and walked over to sit next to Ethan. After I sat down, Carl said a few words about just helping us meet and then let the com: Now, IT
