Chapter 363 Make Them Unable to Turn the Tables
Listening to Ethan's promise, Ashley felt incredibly happy. She smiled sweetly as she spoke, "Honey, we will definitely be happy for a lifetime, and our kid will be showered with our love."
Amidst the noise in the background, Ashley announced, "I won't talk to you anymore, our car has arrived, I'm getting in now."
"Okay, remember to contact me every day." Ethan reminded her.
"Sure." Ashley replied.
Ethan returned to the restaurant, only to find most of the food had already been consumed. After sending Doris home, he prepared to drive back to The Yates Mansion.
As soon as he entered the living room, Ethan was met with the sight of Michael reprimanding James. James, who was middle-aged with a large beer belly, looked both pathetic and ordinary. Seeing this, Ethan frowned.
"Ethan is back." Michael announced, halting his scolding.
James shared, "Ethan, I'm planning to propose to Doris. This time, I'm going to make it romantic; she will definitely say yes."
Ethan scoffed, "Why are you so confident?"
"It's normal; we've been in love for so many years." James replied assertively.
Cutting him off, Ethan delivered a harsh truth, "Dad, Mom has already married someone else. You have no chance."
With that, James collapsed onto the sofa in disbelief, "How is that possible!"
Michael, seething with anger, chimed in, "You deserve this! You always mess around, and every time you cause trouble, I have to clean up after you!"
"It's good that Doris married someone else; otherwise, she would suffer with you!"
James looked dejected and heartbroken.
Dismissing him, Ethan turned to Michael, "Grandpa, I need to speak with you. Let's go to the study."
"Alright." Michael agreed.
Ethan helped Michael, and the two of them went to the study.
"Grandpa, I want to know about George's family, especially about his father." Ethan began.
Bamboo House
The living room was filled with excitement and joy as the three White siblings and their parents gathered together.
Mia touched Ashley's face, expressing her gratitude, "Ashley, I can finally see your beautiful face. You've grown up into such a stunning young woman."
Ashley, moved by her mother's words, responded, "Mom, it's wonderful that your vision has been restored."
Mia's gaze moved to Liam and Landon. They were now grown fine young men. Observing Mia's interaction with Ashley, a sense of longing flickered in their eyes as well.
Mia held Liam and Landon, touching their faces, and remarked, "My Landon and Liam, you've grown into handsome young men. I wonder how many girls will be smitten by your charm."
Liam and Landon exchanged smiles and spoke in unison, "Mom, it's wonderful that you can finally see."
John, still recovering, observed the joyous scene before him and joined in with a hearty laugh, "This is great, everyone is so happy!"
"Ashley!" William came in from outside, holding an old book, and addressed Ashley, "This is what you wanted."
"Thank you, William." Ashley replied gratefully.
Turning to her family, Ashley announced, "Mom, Dad, Landon, Liam, I will be doing some intensive alchemy for the next few days. Feel free to stay here, but unless it's important, please don't disturb me."
Concerned for her condition, William inquired, "Is it safe to do alchemy while you're pregnant?"
Ashley replied, "I'll be fine."
Facing her family's concerns, Ashley reassured them, "Don't worry about me. I'll take good care of myself. I'll be back soon."
The family, full of concern, said, "Don't overwork yourself. Make sure to eat and rest on time!"
"Okay." Ashley affirmed.
Ashley took the medical book and herbs and went to the alchemy room to start her work.
Outside the alchemy room, there was laughter and joy, as everyone reveled in Mia's recovery, whose gaze occasionally drifted towards the room with a troubled expression.That night
George and Josselin were drinking at a bar. Josselin spoke up, "The second batch of projects has already started. According to the plan, we can withdraw our investment."
"Josselin, I have a new plan." George proposed.
Curious, Josselin inquired, "What idea do you have now?"
George replied, "We won't withdraw our investment for now."
Angrily, Josselin retorted, "George, are you trying to play tricks on me!"
George reassured him, "Don't be hasty, let me explain. Ethan seems to have caught wind of my actions and is now wary of me. If we suddenly withdraw our investment after the second round of financing, a few billion dollars is nothing to the Yates Group. If Ethan finds a flaw, our efforts will be in vain. Besides, a few billion dollars is not difficult for the Yates Group!"
"But if we invest in the third round, over a hundred billion dollars, the Yates Group will definitely not recover this time!"
Josselin's eyes narrowed in fury, "George, are you colluding with Ethan to trap me?"
George denied vehemently, "How could that be? You know I hate Ethan and James the most. I don't want money; I just want to get justice for my father. Josselin, as long as you agree to my request, I won't take a single penny!"
