Chapter 395 All A Joke
What now? She wanted to kick him again? Thinking about the injuries he’d suffered before, Ethan’s face twitched.
Ste, seeing him back away, realized with surprise that she had just instinctively tried to kick him to death again.
“Uh…”
Sorry. You left me with serious psychological trauma. My default defense mechanism is violence. It’s probably better if you don’t show up in front of me again. If I end up hitting you, that’s on you.
Ethan was speechless.
The driver thought, <i>She </i>is quite polite, at least she <i>acknowledges </i>hitting people is wrong.
Ethan’s face darkened. Even though he’d mentally prepared himself before meeting Ste, her attitude still made him ufortable.
Women should be gentle. She was more like a raging lunatic.
Ste said, “Are you going to move your car, or should I just ram it?”
She said “ram it” like it was as casual as saying she’d go grab lunch.
Ethan’s expression cracked again. Everything he’d nned to say waspletely derailed by her attitude. The only thing he managed to get out…
Clenching his fists tighter, he said, “Can you tell that guy to back off?”
Last night, something major happened with the Keene family. A man who looked just like Ethan suddenly appeared–holding a paternity test linking him to Ethan’s father. The entire Keene family had been thrown into chaos.
Trying to hold on to hisst shred ofposure, Ethan investigated the man’s background- Derrick was the one who brought him.
Derrick…. Ste’s fiancé back in Falvaria<b>. </b>
To Ethan, it was obvious this was her revenge. But when Ste heard what he <b>said</b>, she blinked. “Who?”
You’re saying you don’t know?” Ethan stared at her in disbelief.
Ste rolled her eyes. “Are you insane? Pulling this crap. again?”
Whenever something involved Lillian, Ethan loved using this usatory tone with her. And now he was doing it again? What any <b>time </b><b>something </b>didn’t go <b>his </b><b>way </b>he <b>inst </b>assumed it was her

Ethan snapped, “He showed up with a DNA test matching my father. Ste, I know you hate me, but you shouldn’t-
He paused. The pain in his eyes grew deeper. “You shouldn’t take it this far.”
Disrupting the entire Keene family–this was the most vicious way she could get back at him.
She hated him? Was it because of the wedding that <b>never </b>happened?
Ste said. “You think I hate you?
“Don’t you?”
Ste scoffed. “You’re really delusional. Hate? Don’t tter yourself. The only one who ever loved jor hated you that deeply was Lillian. No one else gives a damn.”
Hate required love, and she had none of that for Ethan.
“You…” Ethan tried to speak.
“I’d waste time trying to get back at you? Don’t tter yourself,” Ste snapped. “Do you think I need to get my hands dirty to ruin you?”
Just look at what’s happened to the Reed and Keene families in the business worldtely. She hadn’t done anything personally.
Ethan’s body stiffened.
Right. She hadn’t made a move. Last night, Derrick had sent that man. He even arrogantly tossed out a “you’re wee” before leaving. <i>You’re </i><i>wee</i>… Ha.
Ethanughed bitterly, filled with sarcasm. “Ste, I really underestimated you. I never imagined. you had this kind of power.”
“You made <b>your </b>adoptive brother fall in love with you, and even that fiancé you clearly had no future with he did this for you?”
Ste <b>was </b>speechless. This guy’s insane.
Still, the mention of Derrick gave her pause. Why would Derrick do that? On the surface, he didn’t seem to have any deep feud with the Keenes. Forget it. Ethan is clearly out of his mind<i>. </i>
Ethan said. “I used to think you couldn’t live without me.”
He truly believed he was the center of her world. That even when she asked to call off the engagement, it <b>was </b>just a tantrum. After all, how could a woman survive without support? Now he <b>realized</b>–it <b>was </b>all just a joke.
