Chapter 184 You Came to Block Me?
“But seriously,
e to corner me?”
where did you find out I’d be here? You came to
Ste shot Ethan’s smugness <b>right </b><b>back </b>at him–word for word.
His face turned dark.
The look in his eyes grew sharp as he stared at her.
Behind him, Jason scratched his head. This Ms. Ste’s mouth… brutal. Doesn’t take a single hit.
Ethan gritted his teeth, “Ste, I know you’re clever, but let me <b>make </b>one thing clear. If you tell me who owns Verdant Vi, I might consider-
“Wow. Ethan, are <b>you </b>mentally challenged?”
Ste
Ste couldn’t take it anymore.
Might consider? Consider what?
Consider keeping some imaginary future going with her? Did he think he was a bucket of fried chicken, smelling so good everyone wanted a piece?
-You-
“Ste”
Just as Ethan opened his mouth again, another voice cut <b>him </b>off.
They both turned. Louis and Valery were walking toward them.
<b>Louis </b>had <b>a </b><b>slight </b>smile on his face. The way he looked at Ste couldn’t have been more gentle.
The <b>moment </b>Ethan <b>saw </b><b>him</b>, his face went pitch <b>ck</b>.
Louis walked up beside Ste <b>and </b><b>nced </b>at the things in her hands, “Headed to the hot springs?”
He acted like they were close. Ste nodded.
“Then go on ahead. It’s freezing out today,” Louis <b>said</b>, even softer.
Maybe it <b>was </b><b>Ethan’s </b><b>imagination</b>, but Louis’s <b>tone </b>almost sounded… affectionate.
His expression <b>darkened </b>further.
Ste nodded. “<b>Yeah</b>. I’ll head over”
“Wait”
Ethan reached out to grab her. He still had so many <b>questions</b>. She wasn’t picking up his calls, and she was hard to find. Now that she was right here, he <b>wasn’t </b>about to let her go without answers.
But just as <b>has </b><b>hand </b>moved, Louis caught him by the wrist “Mr. Ethan, <b>you </b>nning to ruin the hand too!”
As he said it, he shot a nce at Ethan’s cast–covered arm.

“Let go.”
Louis ignored him. He turned to tell Ste to go ahead, but she was already gone.
Not even a trace of her left.
Louis blinked.“.”
<b>That </b><b>girl</b>. No wonder <b>she </b>was raised by Mr. <b>Abraham</b>–didn’t even say thanks before bolting.
But Ste knew exactly what she <b>was </b>doing
Especially now, with Louis and Abraham working on <b>a </b>major deal, she <b>didn’t </b><b>want </b>any of these peopletching onto her.
No matter what, she wasn’t about to leave that door open.
Seeing Ste was long gone, Louis didn’t bother with <b>Ethan </b>anymore and let him go.
He turned to leave, but Ethan stopped him. “Where is he?”
Louis paused, then gave a sarcastic twitch of his mouth. “He? Don’t tell me you came all this way without even knowing the guy’s name?”
If Judson had more than one son, Ethan would’ve been the clear failure. No way he’d ever inherit the Keene Group
He might look good, carry himself well, but inside? Nothing but air.
Louis could see
could see the storm in <b>Ethan’s </b>eyes–he’d nailed it.
He <bughed</b>. “Wow. Ha! Hahaha!”
Hisugh <b>was </b>almost ridiculous..
Ethan’s <b>face </b>twisted. “Quitughing. It’s disgusting”
“You’re this useless and you <b>still </b><b>think </b>I’m the ugly one?”
Ethan didn’t responds
Louis clicked his tongue. “Seriously–Luke’s heir <b>has </b>been in Rivermount for a while now. What have you even been doing?”
<b>Didn’t </b>meet the guy. <b>Didn’t </b>know his name. Nothing.
Right. He’d been spending all his time wrapped up in Lillian.
That <b>girl </b>really was something–enough to drag Ethan into <b>total </b>uselessness,
When the six elders of the Keene family found out, they’d probably want to tear her apart.
Ethan’s voice dropped cold. “What I do <b>has </b>nothing to do with you.”
“Fair point,” Louis shrugged. “Not my business.”
He turned to Valery. “Let’s go”
