Chapter 427


    The car was filled with a thick silence. Instead of making a scene, J chose to be calm and asked,


    “Will you please unlock the door? I want to go back.”


    She turned away and stared at the scenery through the window. It was a very long winter this year, in


    Seacisco.


    Ethan unlocked the door with shaky fingers. The tremor in his fingers had not stopped yet.


    J shut the car door carefully and went back to the vi. She had to get Ethan to agree to the


    divorce because she didn’t think she would be able to live with him as a couple like they had done in


    the past. She knew if he didn’t agree then the divorce would not happen. J waspletely worn


    out as she entered the vi.


    She knew she could not bepared to someone as perfect as Charis. Which was why it baffled her


    that Ethan was so into her. These questions without answers left her feeling confused and pained.

    No, she would not think about this anymore. It only proved to be a waste of her time since she could


    not find the answers to them anyway. She went to her room in silence and buried her face in the pillow,


    covering herself with the bed sheet. She had thought that everything was done with. She would leave


    Ethan even if he refused to grant her a divorce. She did not belong here with him, not after the hell he


    had put her through.


    Tears fell from J’s eyes and she bit her lips hard to try and stop them from falling. She missed


    home and wanted to return there, to the house where she and Hannah had live before.

    A huge wall separated them. Ethan found it difficult to get the words he so desperately wanted to say


    out of his mouth. He remained in front of J’s door, lost in thoughts.


    Ever since J had found out about his secret identity as Brandon Larson, she moved out of their


    bedroom.


    Ethan was quite busytely, by taking care of work from hispany. He had to go to work early in the


    morning ande backte at night. To make it worse, J was avoiding him on purpose. He hadn’t


    seen J for a while now and he knew the situation would continue if he hadn’t gotten off work early


    today to wait for her outside the Larson Group. Ethan massaged his head. He had a terrible headache


    that made his head throb. He figured that someone must have said something to J. He decided to


    call Garrett.


    “I did not say anything to her so don’t add me to your list of suspects.” Garrett had been sitting in a


    booth at the bar andining about the way young people prefer to dance in the bar, when he got


    the call from Ethan.


    He sighed loudly after gathering his thoughts. “In my opinion the only thing you did wrong was to hide


    your identity from J, and it is not so unforgivable. And despite the fact that the senior executives in


    ourpany like to gossip, I believe that they aren’t stupid and they can at least behave themselves in


    certain situations. I believe she must have been prompted by something. J was devastated and


    probably believed that her world might copse at any time when she found out about the truth. I do not


    think she can handle any more stress right now. You will need to figure out what it is that happened to


    her before you try to find a solution to the problem.”


    “What exactly has Charis been up totely?” Ethan ground out.


    Garrett had not been expecting that line of question from Ethan so suddenly. He frowned at Ethan’s


    words. “She traveled abroad to deal with some financial issues we had a few days ago. She just got


    back actually. I think she will mind her words. She is smart enough to know that.”


    “I tasked my assistant with investigating what happened to J today. There appeared to be nothing


    unusual during the day, but the surveince video cannot ount for what happened when she went


    downstairs by the time she was off duty.”


    Garrett could not help but think that Ethan was making usations he could not support with facts.


    “There was a general meeting of the top executives a few days ago and the decision was made at the


    meeting to upgrade our security system. So it wasn’t really an ident that the CCTV cameras were


    shut down after work. The two things happening at the same time is purely coincidental and I think you


    are overthinking it.”


    “J walked downstairs from the floor of the design department, but then she chose to take the


    elevator from the second floor. Why? What exactly on the first floor made her so afraid that she went


    back to take the elevator?” Ethan could feel in his gut that something dubious had happened.
