Chapter 180


    Chapter 180 Ethan’s Scheme (2)


    “Sure, sure, sure.” Bruce nodded repeatedly, overjoyed. Mr. Knight actually knows me? He even


    initiated a conversation with me and invited me to sit next to him! He was somewhat taken aback by


    this pleasant surprise.


    After Ethan stood up, Bruce took the seat beside him, but suddenly, Ethan turned around and sat


    directly


    next to Alice.


    At this moment, Alice was stunned, and so was Bruce.


    “This is your seat, Mr. Knight.” Bruce didn’t understand what was happening and thought that Ethan


    had mistakenly sat on the wrong seat, so he pointed to Ethan’s original seat..


    “Oh, I’m not used to sitting with strange men,” Ethan replied, as if it were only natural.


    Hearing that, Bruce looked at Ethan, then at Alice, feeling that something was off, but he couldn’t put


    his finger on it. Not used to sitting with strange men, but used to sitting with strange women? But I’ve


    heard that Mr. Knight has never been interested in women. It’s absolutely impossible for someone like


    Alice, who is dumb, foolish, and even disfigured, to catch his eye.


    Of course, he would never have thought that Alice was married to Ethan. Even if someone forced him


    to believe it, he wouldn’t.


    After Ethan sat beside Alice, he casually asked, “Where are you going?”


    Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    Alice didn’t n to hide from him, so she replied, “Cliaria.” In fact, she felt he was asking pointless


    questions since the ne was heading directly to Cliaria, so where else could she be going?


    With an arched brow, he asked again, “What are you going to do there?”


    She just nced at him but didn’t answer. I’m not talking to you. Who knows why you suddenly


    appeared here? Moreover, he came in like he was interrogating a criminal, which made her feel


    ufortable.


    Meanwhile, Bruce, who was unwilling to be ignored, suddenly spoke up. “Oh, I made ns with Alice to


    go to Cliaria together for a trip.”


    At his words, Alice widened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief. Who’s going on a trip to Cliaria with


    him? Is he out of his mind?! What the f*ck?


    “Is that so?” Ethan ignored Bruce, just looking at Alice with calm eyes, revealing no unusual emotions.


    However, for some reason, Alice suddenly felt a chill, and she also sensed a dangerous aura.


    She wanted to deny it, but if she did, Ethan would surely ask more questions. However, considering


    that he already knew about her brother’s situation, there was no harm in telling him. As she was


    contemting, she didn’t answer immediately.


    When Ethan noticed that she was not contradicting Bruce’s words, he looked away and focused on the


    front. Then, he lightly tapped his fingers on the armrest of the seat. Tap, tap, tap…


    Each tap made Alice anxious. It felt as if a small hammer was striking her heart with each beat, and the


    sensation was strange, but overall, it made her anxious.


    She didn’t know how many times he had tapped, nor did she know how long he would continue. So,


    she took a deep breath and whispered, exining to him, “I’m going to Cliaria for my brother, not with


    Bruce. I didn’t even know he was on this flight.”


    At her answer, a smile gradually tugged on his lips, and he stopped tapping. His gaze once again


    turned to her, and he smiled, looking incredibly charming.


    At the same time, she thought of what Bruce had said earlier. It was clear that he saw Ethan sitting


    beside her, and Ethan didn’t reject her, so he wanted to use her to get closer to Ethan. This thought


    made her feel disgusted, and she was determined not to give Bruce that opportunity. “Don’t mess


    around. Don’t let Bruce figure out our rtionship.”


    Instantly, Ethan’s smile disappeared. What? What does she mean by ‘don’t mess around‘? What does


    she mean by ‘don’t let Bruce figure out our rtionship‘? Why can’t Bruce know about our rtionship?


    Am I that shameful to her?


    “Let’s change seats, Alice.” Bruce trulycked self–awareness. He thought that as long as he made a


    request, Alice would agree.


    At this moment, Ethan’s gaze turned slightly cold. Who does he think he is to dare tomand my wife


    in such a tone? He then nced at Alice. She won’t agree, right? If she dares to agree, then I’ll… I’ll


    kiss her right now. As this thought crossed his mind, even Ethan himself was taken aback for a


    moment. He couldn’t decide whether he hoped she would refuse or agree.


    Meanwhile, Alice’s eyebrows visibly furrowed, showing signs of impatience. He is truly disgusting. I


    only pretended to go along with him onest time because I had other ns. Does he really think he is


    my everything and I should obey him? At this thought, she nced sideways at Bruce and replied with


    just one word, “Scram.”


    Her ns were already over, and Yeager Corp was in chaos because of her. Bruce was simply an idiot,


    and the Yeager Family no longer held any significance to her. Of course, more importantly, she had


    discovered new clues. Although the events from seven years ago were rted to the Yeager Family,


    Damien was clearly not the mastermind.


    To uncover more evidence, she needed to start with the third party behind it all. So now she had no


    reason to continue to appease Bruce.


    As Ethan was earnestly considering how he would kiss her next, he was stunned by her words. Huh? I


    thought she wouldn’t refuse his request. Although he knew she didn’t truly have feelings for Bruce, he


    knew she must have had some purpose that required her to listen to Bruce. So, he thought she would


    agree. She actually rejected him? And she rejected him so directly, so… rudely. But I like it! That’s my


    girl.


    “Alice…” Bruce also clearly froze, looking at Alice with disbelief. “What’s wrong with you? Mr. Knight is


    still here. Don’t make a spectacle of yourself.” Hepletely failed to grasp the seriousness of the


    situation. Is she throwing a tantrum? Perhaps because I said I would marry her earlier but didn’t follow


    through, but the bidding didn’t work out in the first ce, and she had messed it up. How dare she


    have the nerve to throw a tantrum at me? If it weren’t for Mr. Knight being here and me wanting to get


    close to him, I wouldn’t even bother this fool.


    Alice couldn’t be bothered to pay any more attention to Bruce. Make a spectacle of myself? You are the


    one doing that, Bruce. Regardless, she and Ethan were still husband and wife, a family.


    “Alice,e oyer here. Don’t disturb Mr. Knight.” Bruce was still not giving up; he was still trying to


    establish a rtionship with Ethan.
