Chapter 38 An Unspoken Secret


    He couldn''t disappoint Old Mrs. Huo in public.


    Reluctantly as Ethan was, he had no choice but to let Joana hold his arm and walk towards the middle


    of the hall.


    "Mr. Ethan."


    "Miss Mu."


    The two of them nodded and greeted everyone along the way.


    An attendant came over with a tray of wine in his hand.


    Ethan stopped him and picked up one. The ss was filled with champagne, which rippled in the


    crystal light of the hall.


    "Please be quiet."


    Ethan walked to the middle of the hall, picked up his ss and gave a hint to the crowd.


    Although the voice was low, it was very prating. The cold sound of Ethan instantly made the whole


    ce quiet.


    He smiled.


    "This is the eldest daughter of the Mu family, Joana Mu. She just came back from abroad. Please


    support her more."


    Then he raised the ss in his hand.


    Everyone raised their sses.


    "Miss Mu has an outstanding temperament. You and Mr. Huo are a perfect match."


    "Yes, yes."


    The sound of ttery rose one after another in the hall.


    Ethan''s short sentence did not reveal the rtionship between him and Joana. However, anyone with a


    discerning eye could tell from the way he introduced her in front of the crowd that Joana would be the


    future Mrs. Huo of the Huo family in the future.


    Ethan didn''t respond.


    His angr features were still strong and cold, and a cold air could be seen on his frosty face.


    However, at this moment, Joana was overjoyed and kept nodding to express her thanks.


    "Thank you, everyone."


    Since childhood, she and Ethan had known that the two of them were different from others. Ethan were


    the second sons of the Huo group. In the future, she would marry him to be the second Mrs. Huo of the


    Huo family.


    However, it seemed that Ethan had been cold to her since childhood.


    But today, Old Mrs. Huo''s arrangement was equivalent to announcing the rtionship between the two


    in front of the whole J City.


    In fact, the Mu family was powerful in J City, but it was still inferior to the Huo Group, the leading


    The Huo family was not good at foreign trade, and the Mu family was doing well. So Old Mrs. Huo had


    a unique vision and the marriage with the Mu family was just for the future development of the Huo


    family.


    However, the most important thing for Old Mrs. Huo to marry the Mu family was the rtionship


    between the mayor of J city and Mu family.


    The cooperation between government and business had been an unspoken secret from ancient times.


    Of course, it was also one of the reasons why Joana was so considerate that Old Mrs. Huo liked her.


    Five years ago, Ethan and Cindy decided to love each other for the rest of their lives in the University,


    which Old Mrs. Huo would never allow. In order to develop the Huo''s Kingdom, she separated Cindy


    and Ethan.


    Now seeing Ethan and Joana a perfect couple, talented and beautiful, Old Mrs. Huo cheered for her


    decision five years ago.


    "Brother Ethan, why are you so unhappy? I''ve been to Ennd for so many years, but you haven''t


    Holding Ethan''s arms, Joana pouted and put her face close to him.


    Ethan turned his face aside and tried to pull his hand out, but his hand was grasped tightly by Joana.


    During the five years of secret training, Ethan hated being coerced the most.


    He frowned and was about to lose his temper.


    A well-dressed man came over and smiled at Ethan.


    "Mr. Huo, with the help of Miss Mu, the Huo Group is going to advance to next level. In the future, we


    have to rely on you."


    Ethan''s arm froze.


    "Mr. Mayor, you''re wee."


    Although he had just returned from the base and entered the Huo Huo Group, Ethan had already


    known that the man in front of him was the current mayor of J City.


    Noticing the change of Ethan, Joana was overjoyed.


    "Uncle, don''t be so formal with me. Brother Ethan is a family, isn''t he? ."


    She twisted her body and stamped her feet on the ground with her silver high-heeled shoes. She


    pouted and acted cute.


    "Ha ha, look at you, Joana. You haven''t married yet. Okay, okay. I won''t waste you more time. I''ll go


    say hello to Old Mrs. Huo. "


    After saying that, he left with a smile.

    "Brother Ethan, why don''t you help me?"


    Joana knew very well that the Huo family wanted to rely on the power of the mayor. The coquetry in


    front of Ethan was just a superficial skill.


    Joana was not as simple as she looked.


    Although she had been in Britain in the past few years, she knew everything about Ethan.


    Seeing the mayor go far away, Ethan quickly withdrew his hand. "Joana, Mr. Zhang of Lawrence


    Company is over there. I''m going to say hello."


    Before he finished speaking, he had gone far.


    "Brother Ethan, I..." When Joana opened her mouth and shouted, she found someone passing by, so


    she shut up immediately.


    With a smile on her face, she quickly returned to her normal self.


    A woman standing in a secluded corner curled her lips at the sight of this. Her cold eyes shed. She


    turned around and walked towards Ethan.


    It was a ck floor length evening dress, with several thin straps crossing at the back. The neckline in


    the front was very low, and a pair of soft breasts was about to emerge. The delicate makeup, ming


    red lips, and a pair of thin and high heels made her waist swaying and graceful, exceedingly


    fascinating.


    As soon as she stepped forward, a man came up to ost her.


    "Miss Wei, you are so beautiful today. I don''t think Miss Mu is as beautiful as you."


    "Really?"


    She opened her red lips and walked away.


    Humph.


    Who did she think she is?


    Celina snorted in her heart and left without stopping.


    From afar, Ethan seemed to have left the hall alone.


    He made up an excuse and finally got rid of Joana. Ethan breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked


    out of the hall.


    Ethan had already known that Old Mrs. Huo had arranged a fiancee for him since he was a child.


    Moreover, he also knew that the eldest daughter of the Mu family was the most famousdy in J City,


    with good appearance and figure. The Mu family was rich. Marrying such a daughter from a famous


    family was beneficial to the development of the Huo Group.


    But somehow, Ethan felt something was wrong.


    Over the years, he deliberately kept a distance from Joana until he met Cindy.


    Cindy?


    The name stung Ethan''s heart.


    That night when he came back from the police station, he was challenged to his bottom line by Cindy.


    Ethan was so angry that he forced her. Several days had passed, and he got the news that the woman


    had been wandering around and borrowing money. He didn''t know what she wanted to do.


    Was she raising money to keep a distance from him?


    Thinking of this, Ethan frowned more tightly.


    "Ethan."
