Scott was stunned, realizing that Ethan was going to disregard his feelings
It seemed they couldn’t even pretend to get along
Scott hated Ethan who was obviously on Dominick’s side, but considering Mason’s and Jasmine’s presence, he had to pretend to be generous
and kind
“I’m just worried about Layla, afraid that someone harbors malicious intentions towards her. Calm down. One might think you are on better terms with Dominick,” Scott said sarcastically with a smile, but Ethan was not angry, only with a look of disdain,
Ethan said, “Dominick made such a great sacrifice for Layla, so I certainly should thank him properly. You should try to be nicer to Layla, otherwise, I’m afraid she will meet someone better than you, and you’ll lose her.”
Scott frowned slightly, even though he had tried hard to hold back his emotions. Every word of
of Ethan
was aimed at him.
Scott’s expression gradually froze, and he finally failed to hold back his anger.
He said, “I’m leaving now. I have some business to attend to at home.””
“Well, it’s getting late. Go ahead,” Mason told him to leave.
lowly and glanced at Ethan. “Why don’t you walk me out? I would like to seek your advice on something.”
“Okay.” Scott stood up slowly
Scott
Getting what Scott meant, Ethan replied smilingly, “Okay, I’ll walk you out.”
As soon as they got out of the villa, Scott couldn’t help but ask, “We don’t hold any grudges against each other, and we, as relatives, are on good terms and have never quarreled with each other. Why do I have an intuition that you are very displeased with me? I didn’t do anything to offend you, did I?“.
Ethan finally failed to continue feigning politeness and spoke in a cold voice. “Look at what you’ve done! You said you did all those things for Layla’s good, but I doubt if you had selfish motives.
“I can understand that you like Layla and want to marry her, but that doesn’t mean you can do whatever it takes to achieve your goal. Do you
know?
“The way you tried to achieve your goal made us uncomfortable, so I couldn’t be nice to you. Isn’t it reasonable?”
Ethan bluntly told Scott what he had long wanted to say, for he believed he must make it clear to Scott.
“But I did those…” Scott said.
“You did all those things for Layla’s good. I have heard enough of it, and it doesn’t work on me,” Ethan looked Scott up and down and somehow asked all of a sudden, “You spread the rumors to marry Layla earlier, so…
“What do you mean b
by that? I didn’t spread the rumors!” Scott interrupted him in a cold voice.
Ethan sneered, “Well, we both know if you did that. Do you want me to investigate this matter thoroughly?”
Although Scott was unwilling to admit it, he didn’t dare to say anything more, otherwise, Ethan could find out the truth easily.
“What do you want to say?” Ethan didn’t want to argue with him about this, as he came here for something else.
Ethan asked, “Did you tell Layla to stay away from Dominick to avoid affecting him?”

Scott was stunned for a moment before denying, “Of course not, there is no need for me to say something so strange to Layla”
Ethan moved closer to Scott, looking fixedly into his eyes. “Scott, you still haven’t learned your lesson. Didn’t I warn you that I can see through your All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“You told Layla to stay away from Dominick. Scott, I remember you as a righteous man and didn’t expect you to play this kind of dirty trick”
Scott didn’t dare to say a single word despite his great displeasure.
After all, based on Ethan’s expression, he couldn’t tell how much Ethan knew about the things he had done.
Scott said, “Fine, I got to go now.”
Ethan’s smile grew broader. “Mr. Jensen, byel”
It seemed that was indeed the case.
Ethan checked the time, got into the car, and intended to go out.
He had speculated this would probably be the case when Dominick asked him who would benefit the most from this matter.
Half ΕΠ hour later.
“Is it true?” The face of Dominick, who had been gloomy over the past few days, finally softened.
Ethan replied, “Yes, it is. Looking at Scott’s expression, I knew I must have
thave guessed it right.
“He always Ees, and I could tell he was lying at a glance at his eyes
“Layla purposely distanced herself from you after hearing his words. In other words, she did this for your sake.”
Telling Dominick about this was not a good thing for either of them.
Nevertheless, Dominick had been dejected recently and was injured. Fearing that he would get drunk secretly and die, Ethan decided to tell him the truth and regard it as an act of kindness
Dominick said with a smile, “Thanks a lot.”
Ethan gave him an aloof look. “Cut it out. Don’t think you have my support. I was just afraid that you
Layla cold–shouldered you, don’t torture yourself anymore!”
Dominick threw a cushion at him. “Shut up. I didn’t do that!”
Idie. Now that you’ve known why
Ethan smiled, “Now that you’ve found out the truth, you don’t need to personally investigate this matter or leave here, do you?”
At the mention of this, Dominick’s smile faded. “This matter is not to be taken lightly.
“I haven’t figured out what kind of poison it is. If I leave at this time, I’ll be worried about Lola’s safety.
“As I recall, before the man died, he said Egret. Is it someone’s name? Do
o you know anyo
anyone named Egret?”
“Egret?!” Ethan frowned and tried for a good while to recall the people he knew, but he failed to recall anyone named Egret.
Ethan said, “it’s a weird name. I haven’t heard of it before and don’t think it sounds like a name. Could it be a code word?”

In that case, they had nothing other than the word to investigate.
Ethan said, “In a couple of days the ambassador of the neighboring country will come here with the prince. I’m not sure of their purpose for visiting, but our two countries have always been at odds, and they have tot visited our country for many years.
