Chapter 365 Disaster Strikes
Felicity escaped from the ward and ran to the hospital entrance. A woman drove up to her, and in a daze, Felicity thought she saw Ashley. A surge of hatred flashed in her eyes.
The woman instructed, "Get in the car."
Felicity hesitated for a moment. Two bodyguards chased after her, yelling, "Don't move!"
Felicity's heart tightened. She opened the car door and commanded, "Drive, quickly!"
The woman started the car and sped away. The bodyguards, panting, muttered, "Damn, Felicity got away. We need to find a way to contact Mr. White!"
Inside the car, Felicity looked at the woman and inquired, "Who are you? You're not Ashley? Why do you look so much like her?"
The woman looked very much like Ashley, but Felicity was certain she was not her. There was an evil aura between her brows, just like Felicity's.
Ava introduced herself, "You can call me Annie Lacey. Like you, I see Ashley as an enemy."
"Ms. Zito, let's form an alliance and defeat Ashley together, shall we?" she added.
Hatred burned in Felicity's eyes as she replied gravely, "Alright, I want Ashley to suffer!"
On Ashley's first day of making potions, who knew it would lead to such resentment?
The Yates Group
Ethan was handling documents when there came a soft knock on the door, announcing Diannel's arrival.
"Come in." Ethan called out.
"Mr. Yates, here are the documents you requested." Diannel placed the documents on the desk and added, "And..."
Diannel paused, looked around cautiously, and whispered, "Nick is willing to go undercover beside George."
Ethan nodded in satisfaction. "Good. If this works out, both of you will be credited. Go ahead."
With a nod, Diannel exited the room.
After finishing the documents, Ethan recalled his conversation with Michael from the previous night.
Thinking it over, he sent George a message: [George, want to grab a drink after work?]
Almost instantly, George's reply came: [Sure.]
Returning to his work, Ethan continued with his tasks.
During lunch, George went out to eat and saw a familiar figure.
George's eyes darkened. "Isn't that Doris? Who's that with her?" he pondered.
Unconsciously, he started his car and followed Doris at a moderatespeed. He saw Doris and Garrett being intimate and couldn't help but smirk, capturing the scene on his phone.
George muttered, "Ethan has a stepdad now, interesting. If things take a different turn, it could get even more interesting."
George's mind raced, formulating a new plan.
Before the end of the workday, there came another knock on Ethan's office door, signaling Diannel's return.
Without looking up, Ethan said, "Come in."
"Mr. Yates, this is the information Nick gathered from the VP's office." Diannel informed, handing over a USB drive.
"Good." Ethan acknowledged.
After Diannel left, Ethan inserted the USB drive and reviewed the data. With each passing moment, his disappointment grew deeper.
It contained evidence of George colluding with Josselin.
There was also evidence that Josselin was the old A!
He rubbed his temples wearily. Just then, the phone rang. It was George, "Ethan, it's after work. Weren't you going to buy me a drink?" he proposed.
"Yeah, let's go." Ethan replied.
After hanging up, Ethan secured the USB drive in the safe, then swiftly left the office, running into George who was waiting for him.
"Let's go." Ethan gestured towards the car.
Ethan's face was indifferent, and his tone lacked the usual warmth reserved for George.
At the bar
The two sipped their drinks while discreetly observing each other's thoughts.
George broke the silence with a smile, "Ethan, what made you invite me for a drink today? Is it because Ashley isn't home and you're lonely?"
Ethan's lips curled into a cold smile, his attitude aloof. "George, what do you think of Michael and Katherine?"
George was momentarily stunned and stared deeply at him.
Ethan locked eyes with him, his stare penetrating.
George's heart skipped a beat, knowing Ethan was testing him.
Reflecting on Michael and Katherine, George spoke sincerely, "Michael and Katherine treat me like their own grandson. They are very good to me."
Ethan pressed on, "And what about James?"
A flash of hatred crossed George's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it. "He's good too."
Ethan let out a mocking laugh, a cruel smile playing on his lips as he inquired, "And how do you think I treat you?"
George's gaze faltered, a shadow crossing his eyes. "Very well."he replied firmly.
Ethan got straight to the point. "So why did you conspire with Josselin to take over the Yates Group? Our family has never wronged you!"
Ethan's gaze turned cold and merciless. If it weren't for their blood relation, Ethan would have already sent George to prison with the evidence he had!
George's mouth opened in disbelief. He hadn't expected Ethan to confront him so directly. Wasn't Ethan afraid George might kill him to silence him?
A surge of conflicting emotions raced through George's heart, a mix of guilt and regret swirling within him.
Regret?
A bitter sneer twisted George's features. Why should he feel regret? It was they who should bear the burden of guilt!
With a composed facade, George feigned innocence. "Ethan, why would I take over the Yates Group? You must be joking!"
"Stop pretending." Ethan retorted icily, his gaze piercing. "I have enough evidence to prove your guilts. George, you should be grateful we're related by blood. Otherwise, you'd already be in prison!"
