Chapter 647 He is My Dad
Time ticked by, and Ethan's car still hadn't shown up.
Brady's face darkened like a storm was brewing, and the tense vibe he gave off made the driver in front of him feel immense pressure.
The driver had no clue what was going on with Brady.
Why did Brady suddenly look so pissed? He didn't dare to ask, fearing it would only make Brady angrier.
So, he kept quiet, waiting for Brady to give orders.
He stayed in that tense silence for a full ten minutes before the black Mercedes Ethan had rented slowly emerged from the underground garage.
As soon as the car appeared, Brady spoke in a low voice, "Follow that Mercedes."
He really did sound angry.
The driver took a deep breath, pressed the start button, and stepped on the gas to follow the Mercedes.
Inside the Mercedes, Ethan gripped the steering wheel with one hand, eyes fixed on the road ahead, watching the scenery pass by. Violet sat quietly, not wanting to say much to avoid any complications.
After a while, as they approached the next intersection, Ethan broke the silence. "Ms. Patton, can I ask you something?"
He couldn't bring himself to call her "Mrs. Patton." After all, they seemed to be about the same age.
"What do you want to ask?"
Ethan smiled slightly, his expression natural. "Do you know anything about the Devereux family in New Future City?"
At the mention of the Devereux family, Violet's nerves tensed up a bit. She looked at Ethan, who was driving, with some apprehension. "Why are you asking about them all of a sudden?"
"Just curious. Can you tell me about them? Like Evelyn?" Ethan wanted to know about Evelyn.
After all, someone had threatened his dad.
"Why do you want to know about Evelyn?" Violet's face showed a hint of wariness. She wasn't sure if Ethan was a friend or foe.
She regretted agreeing to be his guide. What if Ethan was a bad guy, like Emerson from Radiantia who had kidnapped her before?
"Relax. I'm just asking." Ethan noticed her tense expression and grew a bit suspicious. "Why are you so nervous? Do you really know her?"
"No, I don't know her," Violet shook her head.
"Can you tell me about the Devereux family then?" Ethan continued.
"The Devereux family is bankrupt now. There's not much to talk about," Violet said, unsure if he was good or bad, so she gave a half-truth.
"I know about the bankruptcy. I thought since you live in New Future City, you might have heard about Evelyn?" Ethan paused thoughtfully before continuing, "Because I want to meet her daughter."
Violet's eyes widened instantly. Ethan wanted to meet her?
Why?
Why was he so interested in her mom's affairs?
Who was he really? A series of questions swirled in Violet's mind, leaving her feeling a bit chaotic.
"Why do you want to meet her daughter?"
Ethan glanced at her and said, "I have some questions for her."
Like, what was the deal between her mom and his dad back then? Did they really have a relationship?
Or were they just friends? Or acquaintances?
But if they were just ordinary friends, his dad wouldn't have suddenly come back from so far away.
Especially since someone had used her mom's ashes to threaten him.
"What do you want to ask her?" Violet steadied herself and asked calmly.
Whether friend or foe, it concerned her mom, and she wanted to know the reason.
"A while ago, a photo surfaced online in Crestoria. Do you know about it?" Ethan didn't have much guard up against her.
"The group photo?"
Ethan nodded. "The man in the photo is my dad."
