Chapter 31 She Has a Man
Abraham reached for his clothes <b>and </b>slipped <b>them </b>on.
Even though it was over, the tension between Abraham and <b>Ethan </b>still felt like swords drawn and bows bent.
Ste nced at Ethan. “Get the hell out.”
If he didn’t leave now, he might really die here tonight. <b>And </b>if <b>he </b>actually died here, that would be seriously unlucky.
Ethan was <b>already </b>furious. Now, seeing that Ste wanted him to leave instead of Abraham, the fire in his chest <b>exploded</b>,
“Ste, what the…
Abraham cut <b>him </b>off coldly. “Say one more word to insult her, and I swear, you won’t leave here alive.”
<b>As </b><b>soon </b>as he finished speaking, the man pulled a gun from the inside of his suit jacket.
He pointed it straight at Ethan. Ethan’s breath hitched, and his pupils shrank sharply.
In a ce like Rivermount, this guy actually carries something like that? Has Ste <b>lost </b>her <b>mind</b><b>? </b>What kind of dangerous man is she involved with!
Abraham spoke again, voice cold as ice. “Do <b>you </b>want to give it a try?”
He meant that if Ethan <b>said </b>one more <b>word</b><b>, </b>he’d find out what happens.
Ste had grown up in Falvaria, and no matter where she went, no one had ever dared <b>talk </b>to her like this.
But now, in this ce, these people…
There was more and more danger in Abraham’s eyes.
That danger closed in <b>on </b>Ethan like a trap. <b>In </b>a ce like Rivermount, he had never been treated like this before.
He narrowed his eyes and stared right <b>back </b><b>at </b>Abraham.
Abraham said, “Do you want to try?”
Try what? Why don’t <b>you </b><b>just </b>get the hell <b>out </b><b>already</b>?” Ste snapped.
She was about to lose it. / Ethan insane? Can’t he see what Abraham is holding? Does he actually want to <i>die </i>here?
She didn’t <b>like </b>Ethan, but she hadn’t meant for him to die. It wasn’t like they <b>had </b>some huge blood feud.
Ethan shot her a cold look
Ste, furious<b>, </b>yelled, “Leave! Don’t <b>you </b>know how to walk?”
Seeing Ethan frozen in ce, Ste kicked him hard.
If he kept standing there, he might just turn into a tombstone in the countryside for the rest of his life
Ehan stormed out of Kingston Heights, his head ringing like a beehive.
Jason had been waiting downstairs the whole time. When he saw Ethaning down with a face <b>like </b>stone, and even some bruises, he sucked in a sharp breath “Ms. Dawson still sai
Refusing to get married was one thing but hitting him? That’s something else.
Thinking of Ste’s temper. Jason shivered again
10:41 PM ?
Chapter 31 She Has a Man
<b>Jason </b>sighed. “Women need sweet–talking”
“Sweet–<b>talking</b><b>? </b>Ha.
When Ethan said the word “sweet–talking” his voice dripped with sarcasm.
Jason fell silent.
With Ste’s temper, sweet–talking probably wouldn’t work either. She <b>was </b>like a brick <b>wall</b>, nothing got through.
That was how people saw Ste. Not particrly talented, but her temper was something else.
Ethan narrowed his eyes dangerously. “Look into the guy who’s been getting close to hertely. Find out who he is.”
Jason blinked. “What?”
Hearing the word “guy,” Jason looked at Ethan like he’d just said something insane.
A <b>guy</b>? Ms. Dawson has a man around her?
“<b>That</b>… that’s impossible. Ms. Dawson’s always alone. If anyone’s with her, it’s Ms. Miller.”
In Jason’s words, the nice way to describe Ste was “a homebody<b>.</b><b>” </b>
To put it less kindly, she was basically azy bum who’d rather stay in <b>than </b>go outside.
Finished
She didn’t <b>have </b>much ability, <b>a </b>short temper, and a lot of pride. It seemed impossible <b>that </b>a woman like her could have a
man.
If it wasn’t for the Reed family, even <b>Ethan </b>wouldn’t have stuck around.
Seeing Jason’s disbelief, the danger on <b>Ethan’s </b>face only grew. “I just ran into him. Do you think I’m making this up?”
<b>Jason </b><b>was </b>taken <b>aback</b>. You ran into him? Wait, what?
Ethan’s mind shed back to Abraham’s cold, dangerous eyes. That face felt familiar, like he’d seen it somewhere before, but couldn’t quite remember where. And that <b>gun </b>he pulled out so casually.
“He’s <b>probably </b>someone from the underworld,” Ethan muttered.
He was determined to find out exactly who that <b>man </b>was. He never expected someone like Abraham could be hiding in Rivermount.
Whoever he was, Ethan <b>was </b>going to tear him apart.
That word “underworld” only made Jason more confused.
That didn’t make sense. With Ste’s temper, she shouldn’t be able to connect with people like that.
Downstairs, Ethan stormed out, seething
Upstairs, after all the chaos, any trace of sleep Ste had <b>was </b>long gone.
