    Chapter 545 Never Remembering Him Again


    Ethan carefully examined her and noticed she appeared calm, showing no surprise at the oue he


    had just mentioned. It seemed she had anticipated this result long before. Looking at her in this state,


    he suddenly had a bad feeling. Sure enough, as soon as a thought crossed his mind, it quickly became


    a reality.


    “Well, if he still refuses to see me, I won’t insist.” Victoria smiled faintly at him and continued, “Please


    convey a message to him for me. He must take good care of himself.”


    He was speechless.


    “By the way, Ethan, I still remember the favor you did for me. If you need any help in the future, be sure


    to let me know.”


    Initially, he thought she would continue discussing matters rted to Bane, but to his surprise, her


    words suddenly shifted to himself. “Miss Selwyn, I did help you out, but you don’t need to hold to it. I


    had selfish motives as well.”


    Where else could he find such a patron if Bane fell from power? He could only continue working under


    Bane’smand as long as he remained in power, right?


    Seeing that Ethan was trying to downy his help, Victoria smiled faintly and remained silent. She


    understood that he did not want to put too much pressure on himself and that his so–called ulterior


    motives were insignificantpared to his safety.


    He had risked offending Bane twice, and the consequences of that were still unknown. That was


    extremely precious to Victoria. “Anyway, if you need any help, reach out to me. The words I’ve spoken


    to you will always


    hold.”


    Ethan could only nod helplessly in the end. “Okay, I understand, Miss Selwyn. Thank you.”


    “Well, I’ll get going.”


    He looked into her eyes, hesitating slightly. “Miss Selwyn, what do you mean?”


    “Yes, I’m ready to return. I didn’t n this trip for too long. My children are still waiting for me.”


    “They’re waiting for us.”

    A displeased voice sounded beside them. At the same time, a hand pulled her into an embrace. He


    had been apanying her all the way. However, Victoria did not expect him to feel jealous now and


    held her possessively.


    Surprised yet with a faint smile, she lightly responded, “Yes.”


    “Okay.” Ethan had not anticipated witnessing such a scene. Feeling a sense of unease, a loud noise


    came from upstairs,


    As expected.


    This loud noise caught the attention of many people, and their gazes involuntarily turned toward the


    source of the sound. Unfortunately, due to the distance and walls, they could not see what exactly had


    happened. Besides, their responsibilities kept them from moving, forcing them to remain steadfast in


    their original positions.


    Victoria was startled by the loud noise. The person by her side held her tightly, fearing something might


    go wrong. After the sound ceased, it turned out that nothing had happened.


    Still, in a state of shock, she looked at Ethan and asked, “Ethan? W–What just happened?”


    Compared to her panic, he appeared much calmer. He did not budge or even frown and simply stood


    there,posedly saying, “It’s nothing. Probably just some mishap caused by someone under my


    command. They must’ve damaged something. Someone will handle this specifically.”


    Victoria would not have known what had urred without his exnation. She saw Ethan being so


    calm as if such incidents were nothing special. After the initial shock, she gradually began to


    comprehend what had happened. She pressed her lips together and tentatively said, “Alright, then.”


    There was a moment of silence between them.


    She nced at ric, who stood beside her. When he met her gaze, he raised an eyebrow but


    remained silent. Seeing his reaction, it was clear that he was following her leadpletely. After a few


    seconds of eye contact, she whispered, “Should we be on our way now?”


    He curled his lips and lightly pinched her waist. “Your call.”


    “Okay.” Victoria nodded and then looked at Ethan, no longer feeling conflicted. She directly said,


    “Ethan, since he doesn’t want to see me, we’ll leave for now.” After speaking, she nced in the


    direction of the upper floor.


    Unbeknownst to her, a small hidden camera was observing quietly from that spot. However, at this


    moment, Bane, standing behind the camera, could not help but hold his breath when he saw her


    looking in their


    direction.


    It felt like her gaze had pierced through the camera, colliding directly with his. His thin lips tightened,


    and his hand, hanging at his side, clenched into a fist.


    There were many moments when he almost could not control his desire to see her, but just the thought


    that once she saw him, her worries would be over, and she would continue to live her own life without


    remembering him again made him feel that it would be better to maintain the current situation.


    I don’t want Victoria to let go of me. She must remember me forever. With this in mind, he slowly


    loosened his clenched fist. Forget it. This is fine as well.


    When Victoria looked in his direction, her expression and gaze were calm. After a nce, she withdrew


    her gaze. Then, she looked at the man beside her and whispered, “Let’s go.”


    “Okay.” ric nodded and left with her.


    They left swiftly, without pausing or hesitating. Soon, their figures disappeared.


    Ethan stood in ce, waiting for a moment but not hearing any movement behind him. He had no


    choice but to approach him on his own. As he walked past the stairs, he casually nced at the


    location of the hidden


    camera.


    When he pushed open the door, he found that Bane had already returned to his room. The loud noise


    earlier made Ethan realize that Bane had heard their conversation and everything that happened


    downstairs.


    He stood still for a moment before entering the room.


    Then he now Dasa


    His words received no response.


    Ethan spoke again after seeing no response from him. “Mr. Morison, it seems that Miss Selwyn doesn’t


    n to return. Today is thest time.”


    Perhaps because Ethan repeated what Bane already knew, the atmosphere around him became even


    gloomier He coldly said, “Get out.”


    “Mr. Morison-”


    “Didn’t you hear me?”


    Ethan stood in ce, looking at him for a long time. “Mr. Morison, are you not going to see her? If you


    do,


    there’s still a chance now.”


    After a long silence, Bane sneered. “Get out. Don’t make me say it the third time.”


    The light in Ethan’s eyes dimmed. It seemed it was futile no matter how he tried to persuade Bane.
