Chapter 402 Nothing to Say
"You just revealed your identity to him. Aren't you worried about trouble?" Angela still had her doubts.
"If I don't tell him, he'll find out anyway. Plus, my identity is different from yours. Even if he exposes me, it won't affect Vexa. Relax. Besides, do you think he has the guts?" Ethan chuckled.
"Don't underestimate Madryd's agents. Arnold still hasn't figured out who's hiding where, and now you've provoked Spencer. You might mess things up!" Angela said irritably.
"Unlike you, I don't overthink. Why complicate things? Arnold wants someone else to do his dirty work, but he's not stupid. He knows Spencer can trace it back to him, yet he still did it. What does that tell you?" Ethan asked seriously.
Angela was stunned. Before she could speak, Ethan continued, "Arnold and Spencer must be connected. At the very least, they know of each other. And Spencer was clearly putting on an act for me!"
Angela rolled her eyes. She had intended to say the same things, but Ethan beat her to it!
Things happened so quickly that she only sensed something was off. She didn't trust any info from these agents and just wanted to remind Ethan not to be misled. She didn't expect Ethan to see through it even more clearly than she did!
"Arnold probably didn't expect his move to backfire and completely offend Spencer! With the hard drive in his possession, Spencer must have figured it out by now! What do you think he'll do next?" Ethan smiled.
"So, you wanna let them duke it out and then cash in?" Angela immediately understood Ethan's plan.
"Smart. Arnold should already know the situation here. If he's smart, he knows he's in big trouble and has been exposed!" Ethan nodded.
"He must have known he'd be exposed when he sent you here. Has he prepared to deal with Spencer, or has he already left?" Angela quickly caught on.
"He won't leave without the password. Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to offend Spencer; he could have just taken the hard drive and left. Why bother offending Spencer?" Ethan dismissed Angela's second assumption.
"So Arnold is prepared to deal with Spencer!" Angela felt more at ease.
As long as Arnold hadn't left Norway, there was still hope of retrieving the hard drive!
"Just wait. We don't need to act now. Spencer will do everything to drag Arnold out!" Ethan said confidently.
"But how can you be sure Spencer will notify you once he finds Arnold? Do you really trust his word?" Angela frowned.
"I just called you smart, and now you're being foolish. Don't forget. Spencer knows that I've got the code and Wade. Unless he has the guts and strength to confront me directly, even if he gets the hard drive without telling me, it's just a useless piece of plastic!" Ethan looked at Angela disdainfully.
"Ethan, who are you calling foolish?" Angela was instantly furious and slapped Ethan.
"Do you have any problem with it? You're really asking for trouble. Don't forget. I'm your mentor." Ethan easily caught Angela's wrist and warned her with a smile.
Angela was so mad her face turned blue, but she couldn't say a word!
"Alright, no time to mess around. I need to get back to Alice. You go back and keep an eye on Wade. This is a critical time. Be careful and let me know if anything happens!" Ethan let go of Angela and instructed her seriously.
Angela sighed in relief but then realized she was supposed to be in charge. When did Ethan start giving orders?
Ethan even dared to teach her how to do things!
Before she could say anything, Ethan had already disappeared.
By the time she reached the parking spot, the car was gone!
"Ethan, just you wait! How dare you leave me on the street!" Angela clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.
On his way back to the estate, Ethan called Chloe and Jessie, keeping his activities in Norway a secret and saying he'd be back in Novaria in a couple of days, which calmed them down.
He didn't say much more, knowing they'd ask questions and he might slip up. He just assured them he was safe and left it at that.
After the calls, Ethan drove back to Eric's estate.
As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Alice in a white princess dress running towards him like a beautiful swan, and she jumped into his arms.
From the upstairs window, Eric watched the loving couple with a smile.
"Did everything go smoothly?" After some tender moments, Alice adjusted Ethan's collar and asked softly.
"Pretty smooth. It should be done in a couple of days, and then we can go back to Vexa!" Ethan nodded with a smile.
"Promise you won't leave me behind. You have to take me with you!" Alice pouted.
"Don't worry. Even if you don't want to go, I'll drag you along! But since you're back, don't you want to spend more time with Eric?" Ethan laughed.
"He doesn't need me around. When I'm not home, Eric is having a great time. Do you really think he misses me that much?" Alice scoffed.
"If Eric heard you say that, he'd be furious! Let's see what Eric is up to. Is he really as happy as you say?" Ethan laughed and led Alice into the estate.
When they reached the living room, Ethan regretted it. The scene before him was quite shocking!
He suddenly understood what Alice meant by "happy." He saw seven or eight young women in bikinis flirting around Eric. If it weren't for their untimely presence, Eric would indeed be having a great time!
"Come on, ladies, let's continue the party by the pool!" Eric saw Ethan's surprised look but showed no embarrassment. He laughed heartily and led the bikini-clad women to the backyard pool.
"Eric, at your age, can you handle this? Aren't you afraid of kidney problems?" Ethan gave Eric a thumbs up.
"As long as you two don't bother me, I can handle anything!" Eric snorted and swaggered off with two women in his arms.
"Now you see how happy he is." Alice teased, raising an eyebrow.
"I have nothing to say!" Ethan shook his head, laughing.
"If you're jealous, when we get back to Vexa, we can wear bikinis and play in the pool with you!" Alice suddenly wrapped herself around Ethan like a seductive snake, whispering in his ear.
Ethan felt a surge of heat in his lower abdomen, a fire igniting within him!
