Chapter 107 Honey, You Have to Believe Me
"Ethan, I loved you so much, wanted you so badly, that's why I drugged you. I didn't do anything else wrong, I just wanted to have you..."
When Ava saw Ethan wake up, she immediately started crying, trying to look vulnerable.
"You have eyes only for her. You never care about me. If you had treated me a little better, I wouldn't have done this."
"Shut up!"
Ethan got up, dressed quickly, and glared at her. "Stop making excuses. You are shameless. Get ready for a hellish life from now on!"
He stormed out, leaving Ava behind. She didn't chase him; her plan had already worked.
Ryan, nearby, was stunned. "Ethan, what the hell is going on? Did she really drug you?"
Ethan nodded. "I didn't expect her to be so bold."
Ryan looked embarrassed. "I thought... you cheated on Ashley."
Ethan paused. "Did anyone else see me with her just now?"
Ryan replied, "A bunch of reporters showed up. We couldn't stop them, and they took pictures."
Ethan's face turned ashen, filled with hatred for Ava.
He patted his pockets. "Where's my phone?"
"Ethan, we've been trying to reach you all day. Did you lose your phone?"
Ethan nodded. "Lend me your phone."
"Sure."
Ethan called Ashley, having memorized her number.
"Mr. Reid, how's Ethan? Is he okay?" Ashley's voice came through, thinking it was Ryan.
Hearing her, Ethan's anger eased. "Honey, it's me. Don't worry, I'm fine. I lost my phone, so I couldn't contact you."
Ashley sighed in relief. "Honey, you scared me. As long as you're okay. Come back quickly, I have something to tell you."
Ethan nodded. "Honey, if you see any news later, please trust me. I'll handle it."
Ashley nodded firmly. "I trust you."
Ethan's demeanor softened, and he smiled gently.
"I'll hang up now. See you later."
"Goodbye."
After hanging up, Ethan felt a deep sense of satisfaction from Ashley's trust.
He then called Diannel. "Call an emergency press conference. I have something important to announce!"
"Yes, Mr. Yates."
Ethan handed the phone back to Ryan.
"Ryan, can you do me a favor?"
"We're best friends. Just say the word."
"Get two people named Tom and Ella. Take them to the hospital for a blood test and do a DNA test with my wife. Expedite the report..."
After a pause, he added, "Then, find out how Ava ended up in the orphanage and how she got out. Do this quickly, before the press conference!"
Ryan instantly understood Ethan's plan and admired him.
Ryan began to admire Ethan.
Ethan was loyal and decisive in his actions, never procrastinating.
"Don't worry, I'll handle it."
After Ryan left, Ethan's eyes darkened. "Ava, I gave you a chance, but you blew it. From now on..."
Ethan smirked coldly, his eyes gleaming with cunning.
