Chapter 572
“Say that again, I dare you!” Patrick roared, standing up from his chair. He pointed a trembling finger at
Ethan and shouted, “I’m your father! How dare you talk to me like that!”
Beforeing here, Patrick had thought that Ethan was satisfied now that he had put Elissa in jail.
Little did he know that Ethan wasing for him next.
Ignoring Patrick’s shouts, Ethan took J’s hand and together, they left.
When Seth and Patrick were alone in the private room, Seth stood up and poured his father a cup of
tea. With a gentle smile on his face, he said, “Don’t worry, Dad. Ethan’s not thinking straight. He’lle
around after he calms down.”
Patrick, on the other hand, was still seething with rage. He hadn’t been threatened like this in a long
time. He was so angry that, when Seth handed him the cup of tea, he threw it against the wall,
smashing it to smithereens. “He should never have been allowed into the Lester family!”
Seth nced at the shards of porcin on the floor, and some of the tea even sshed onto his
trousers. He plucked up a tissue, wiped the stains on his trousers, and sat back down calmly.
Today, he had seen Ethan’s yet another side. He didn’t expect him to be so bold.
Patrick had always been a strict father, and even Seth himself was a little afraid of him, but Ethan dared
to challenge—and even threatened—Patrick.
But what surprised Seth the most was the fact that Patrick had invited Ethan back into the Lester
family.
This somehow made him want topete with Ethan.
Ever since he was born, Seth had always been the most outstanding child in the Lester family. He had
grown proud because of this. The fact that Patrick wanted to ask Ethan back to the Lester family upset
him a little.
He had always been the excellent child, and now there was Ethan, founder of the Larson Group and
respected by all in the business world. Ethan had exceeded him.
He had lost thewsuit to Ethan, and now, Ethan had turned against the whole Lester family.
Narrowing his eyes, Seth took a sip of his tea without saying a word.
He would like to see the lengths Ethan would go to to bring the Lester family down.

So she was back to work in no time.
“J, you should take more time off.” Everyone had been trying to persuade her to rest some more.
Although she didn’t suffer from a cardiac arrest because of working for too long, they still worried about
her health.
“The project is almost finished. You should take more days off. We can handle it on our own,” Elizabeth
said to her.
But J was itching to get back to work. She whispered to Elizabeth reassuringly, “Don’t worry. I
won’t work overtime anymore. Mr. Wesley won’t allow it. Even if I wanted to, there are surveince
cameras here.”
Happy to be back at work, the days passed by quickly. Soon, it was weekend.
Since J couldn’t work overtime anymore, she decided to go shopping with Laney.
“I heard that Garrett hasn’t been seeing anyone recently,” Jmented, fishing for any news
about Garrett. As Laney’s friend, she cared a lot about her love life.
At the mention of Garrett’s name, Laney didn’t know what to say. She averted her gaze and awkwardly
scratched the back of her head. “Why’re you telling me? I don’t know him that well.”
J nced at her friend curiously, only to see that Laney’s face had turned as red as a tomato.
“Excuse me!” Suddenly, a young man tried to squeeze past them in a hurry, bumping into Laney.
“Oh, I’m sorry. Did I hurt you just now, miss?” The man quickly caught Laney by the shoulder and
looked at her with concern.
“No, I’m fine.” Laney stood firm and was about to leave, but the young man suddenly stopped her.
Surprise was written all over the man’s face. He pointed at her ear and cried, “You have those elf ears!
Are you Laney Garcia?”
