Chapter 136
I was just about to lose my temper and make Ethan go away, but he startled me with his question. I cocked my head to look at him.
Ethan bent over so that we could see eye to eye. “Well? Are you?”
“Get away from me!” I was angry, and I also felt rather embarrassed that someone was seeing right through me. Moreover, I was annoyed with Ethan.
He was quite a gentleman. Since he was, I should let him continue being one. Besides, he had given me a project in exchange for me keeping quiet about Leah slandering me
Although I had benefited from it, there was a world of difference between something I had proactively sought out versus something that had been thrust upon me. After I told him to crawl out, Ethan was startled. Then, he burst into loud laughter.
I glared at him, but he was laughing so hard that he couldn’t stand upright. It tugged at his wound, and he stopped laughing at once as he grimaced in pain.
was happy to see him encounter a minor setback I smiled widely at him and said, enunciating each word clearly, “You deserve it.”
As soon as I spoke, Andy knocked on the door and entered. When he saw Ethan crouching on the floor, his face contorted with pain, he hastily helped Ethan to get backinbed
the emotion, I wheeled myself quietly outside.
At around 10:00 pm that night, Liam called.
I had just finished eating dinner and was staring out at the sky, looking for stars.
“You told me to Investigate Jack, so I did.” Liam’s voice traveled over the phone. “His movements have been very mundane lately. He hasn’t offended anyone at the malls, and he doesn’t hang out with many people in his personal life. I’ve also checked his secretary, and they’re all pretty normal.”
After I had calmed down and thought about my kidnapping, it did seem that Jack didn’t have a motive that was strong enough.
I acquiesced, and Liam laughed. “I did find something interesting, however.”
The hospital was a private hospital, and it was located outside the Napel Rings, Winter evenings were very foggy. I couldn’t even see the moon, let alone any stars 1adjusted my position and asked, “Is there anything else?” “Your father’s almost 60 this year, right?
“Yes. What about it?”
“He may be old, but he really does get around, doesn’t he?” Liam said. He sent me a video through WhatsApp.
I clicked on it to watch it, and I suddenly burst into laughter,
Jack was in the midst of a sexual roleplay with a woman, and he was having the time of his life. The video was very graphic, and the contents were scandalous.
if I decided to show the video to Ivy, or even if I just leaked it to the public, it would cause a huge scandal for Jack’s company and for the Wiley family.
Scandals were a major taboo for the head of any company.
If someone could not even be faithful to his own family, the public wouldn’t believe that they would do their work properly either. The shareholders would be even less likely to buy their stock How likely was it that I would succeed in trading this for Grandma?
Tthought for a moment, then sat up and got out of bed. “Liam, can you do me another favor?”
Half an hour later, I hung up, feeling rather hopeful.
I would be able to have Grandma with me now, wouldn’t I?
