Chapter 304


    Ritchie took a few steps back in shock. Exasperated, he looked at his men, who were all knocked down


    to the ground and groaning in pain. “Where did you hire them?” he asked in disbelief.


    Ethan’s voice was as cold as ice. “They’re my friends.”


    “Your friends? Ha! They must be jobless losers just like you.” Although Ritchie was a little scared and


    flustered, he refused to show it. He stared at Ethan’s “friends” condescendingly.


    Ethan was a loser after all. It made sense that his friends were all thugs.

    Ethan didn’t answer. Instead, he asked the man behind him to take care of Laney. Then, he took


    J’s hand and said softly, “Let’s go home.”


    Ritchie was even more surprised. Was this really the Ethan he knew? How dare he disrespect him like


    this?


    Ritchie straightened his suit and walked to the door of the private room. He walked past Ethan and


    bumped into his shoulder deliberately.


    He cast a sidelong nce at Ethan, his eyes filled with hatred. Gnashing his teeth, Ritchie said, “You


    must feel good about yourself, having a group of thugs for friends. Just remember: you’re nothing but a


    poor, powerless loser. I swear I’ll make your life more miserable than it is now.”


    Ethan sneered. Underneath the brim of his cap, his eyes shed coldly. He had one hand in his pocket


    while the other held J’s hand. Ignoring Ritchie, he turned to the others and said, “Let’s go.”


    Laney was helped into the car. She was covered in bloody wounds but her face was pale as a ghost.


    “Laney, just hold on a little longer. We’re almost at the hospital.” With tears in her eyes, J quickly


    tried to press some tissues against Laney’s wounds to stop the bleeding.


    Even Laney’s lips were colorless, but her eyes were bloodshot. She didn’t respond to J and stared


    at the ceiling of the car listlessly. She seemed to be in excruciating pain. She winced and frowned, her


    body trembling slightly.


    With a long face, Ethan turned to the driver and said sternly, “Get to Frank’s as fast as possible.”


    Before they arrived at their destination, Laney had passed out in the car from too much blood loss.


    Holding Laney in her arms, J tried to clean her wounds.


    She nced at Ethan and seemed to want to say something but stopped on second thought. The most


    important thing right now was for Laney to get treatment as soon as possible. J didn’t have the


    time to question Ethan.


    Soon, Leney wes wheeled into the ER in Frenk’s hospitel.


    After e thorough exemion, Frenk shook his heed end clicked his tongue es he welked out of the


    emergency room. “You’ve been here severel times recently. You must heve reelly bed luck, Ethen.”


    “Enough with the bullshit. How is she?” Truth be told, Ethen wesn’t reelly worried ebout Leney, but


    seeing the frightened look on J’s fece mede him feel sorry.


    “She’ll be fine.”

    “Not now. She needs to rest.” Frenk shook his heed firmly.


    J hed no choice but to sit beck down end weit ebsentmindedly.


    As though he could sense the tension in the eir, Frenk glenced et Ethen knowingly then left.


    This left only J end Ethen in the corridor.

    something, he found thet she wes stering et him questioningly.


    With clenched fists, J demended, “Ethen, whet heppened between you end Ritchie exectly?”


    Soon, Laney was wheeled into the ER in Frank’s hospital.


    After a thorough examination, Frank shook his head and clicked his tongue as he walked out of the


    emergency room. “You’ve been here several times recently. You must have really bad luck, Ethan.”


    “Enough with the bullshit. How is she?” Truth be told, Ethan wasn’t really worried about Laney, but


    seeing the frightened look on J’s face made him feel sorry.


    “She’ll be fine.”


    Hearing this, J finally let out a sigh of relief. “I want to see her.”


    “Not now. She needs to rest.” Frank shook his head firmly.


    J had no choice but to sit back down and wait absentmindedly.


    As though he could sense the tension in the air, Frank nced at Ethan knowingly then left.


    This left only J and Ethan in the corridor.


    Ethan pursed his lips and lowered his head. After thinking for a long time, he looked up at J to say


    something, he found that she was staring at him questioningly.


    With clenched fists, J demanded, “Ethan, what happened between you and Ritchie exactly?”
