Ethan’s Vengeance of Love

Chapter 127

Given that Irvin and his older brother were known to have a strained relationship, it was clear to everyone that Irvin wouldn’t address him with such warmth. Therefore, the only person in Rodcaster whom Irvin would address with such a friendly attitude was Ethan.

This was precisely why everyone was shocked when they deduced Ethan’s identity, as they didn’t expect him to appear at such an occasion.

“Is that Mr. Knight? Am I hallucinating? Did he actually show up? Oh my God, I think I’m going to pass out. This is the first time I’ve ever seen him up close.”

“It really is him. He’s so hot. I feel like I’m being captivated.”

“Me too.”

“I really want to marry him.”

“I don’t dare to dream of marrying him. I’ll be satisfied with just sleeping with him once.”

The women were all going crazy.

“Why is he here? Is it even possible for the Wolands to invite him to this banquet?” The men were equally stunned and could not believe their eyes.

Although today was meant to be Charles’ birthday banquet, he had previously announced that it would also serve as the occasion for Alice to choose her future husband.

Therefore, it was truly unexpected for Ethan to show up at this kind of event, but there was no mistaking that the person standing before them was indeed him.

Despite the attendees coming from prestigious families, there were still notable differences between them. They would seldom have the chance to interact with someone like Ethan regularly, which made his appearance at the event all the more surprising.

Irvin led Ethan to sit directly across from Alice.

Stunned, Alice furrowed her brows slightly. Why do they have to sit here when there are so many other seats in the hall? She had heard the fawning voices of those women on the field just moments ago, so wouldn’t his sitting here draw resentment toward her?

Wait a minute, didn’t I reject him and tell him not to attend this banquet? So, why did he still show up?

Alice could only think of one reason—Lawrence had forced Ethan to attend after she left previously.

As she was very mindful of their agreement to keep their marriage a secret, she had to pretend not to know Ethan in public.

“Mr. Knight, we’re honored that you could join us today. Allow me to offer you a drink.” Smiling, Emma walked over to Ethan and placed the drink in front of him. As she leaned forward slightly, she casually revealed her ample chest.

Her gesture was undoubtedly provocative.

Dumbfounded, Alice glanced at Emma and wondered what on earth she was thinking by trying to seduce Ethan on a public occasion. However, Alice couldn’t say anything as she had to pretend not to know Ethan.

She sensed that she might burst out laughing if she stayed longer, so she decided to leave to avoid embarrassing herself. She knew she needed to maintain her composure on such a public occasion.

So, she stood up and left immediately with a cup of water.

Irvin was left stunned and wondered what was happening at that moment.

He couldn’t believe Alice had left them alone with such a seductive and cheap woman.

Does Emma honestly think she has a good figure? How dare she flaunt her body in front of Ethan? She’s absolutely disgusting!

Ethan’s profound eyes narrowed slightly as it revealed a hint of anger. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Miss Woland, Mr. Yeager is inviting you over,” David whispered to Alice as she took a few steps away.

She furrowed her brows slightly as she was aware that she was responsible for Bruce’s current predicament. With nothing else to do, she decided to go and meet him.

Of course, she wouldn’t admit that she just wanted to see his embarrassing state.

So, Alice walked directly to Bruce’s side.

Ethan’s eyes immediately darkened as he couldn’t believe she had avoided him and gone to Bruce instead. Are you kidding me???

At the same time, Irvin’s lips twitched fiercely as he also couldn’t believe what he had just witnessed. He didn’t expect her behavior either.

Is there something wrong with my eyes? No, it’s really her. Hold on a second. I’m not the one with eye problems here. She is. Yes, that has to be the case!

“Why did you ask for me?” Alice sat on a high stool and glanced at Bruce indifferently.

“I want to go to the bathroom…” Bruce responded with a barely suppressed rage as he stared at her.

“So?” She raised an eyebrow in confusion as to why he would call her over just to tell her he needed to use the restroom.

Did he expect her to help him go to the bathroom?

“I need your help.” Bruce’s voice was barely audible as he gritted his teeth. He was clearly embarrassed, especially because he was a man of dignity.

“How can I help you? Don’t tell me you want me to bring some sort of container for you? Tell me. Do you want a cocktail or a highball glass?” Alice smiled and glanced at him meaningfully before adding slowly, “I think a cocktail glass will suffice…”

“Alice…” He was clearly angered and a little embarrassed.

Bruce knew it was foolish to seek help from Alice, but he didn’t want anyone else to find out he was stuck on the stool. She was the only one who knew about his embarrassing predicament, so he felt he had no choice but to ask for her assistance.

However, he understood that Alice couldn’t help him at all and knew that no one could assist him with his predicament, but he couldn’t bear to see himself suffering while she was so relaxed and at ease.

“You’re ruthless. Just you wait. I’ll get back to you.” Although he was pissed, there was nothing he could do except talk tough.

Alice glanced at Bruce indifferently and raised an eyebrow. Is he threatening me? As she despised being threatened the most, she smirked and deliberately whistled.

Although the whistle was barely audible, it was enough for Bruce to feel an intense urge to relieve himself.

“Alice, just you wait. I’ll definitely get my revenge.” Bruce gritted his teeth and growled lowly. If he could move now, he would definitely strangle her.

She was well aware of his urgent need for the bathroom but deliberately whistled. The barely audible whistle only made him even more uncomfortable, and he felt like he might lose control at any moment.

He gritted his teeth in frustration while she smiled innocently.

Meanwhile, Irvin looked at Alice’s bright smile before turning to Ethan beside him.

Currently, Ethan’s face showed little emotional change. Although his eyes remained calm, his surrounding aura had noticeably turned colder.

Irvin couldn’t help but shudder as he felt a chill run down his back. The tingling sensation on his neck made him subconsciously touch it. It was the first time he realized that being an onlooker could risk one’s life.

Emma wasn’t foolish either, or she wouldn’t have been Rodcaster’s number one socialite. She could vaguely guess something based on Irvin’s expression.
