Chapter 8 House Hunting
"Mr. Yates, please come to our VIP room to check out the property."
"Sure."
Ethan followed the manager but suddenly heard a woman scream, "Ashley, how dare you steal the Wilson family's money to splurge! I'm calling the cops!"
Ethan paused, his eyes drifting towards Ashley.
Ashley's gaze was icy. "Go ahead, call them. Or should I? Let's see how many years you will get for false accusations!"
"You!"
Kira was livid.
Sienna chimed in, "Ashley is a well-behaved person, unlike you, always up to no good."
"You..."
Kira turned to Easton. "Easton, they're bullying me!"
Easton sneered, "Ashley, you shameless woman, what's the point of buying such a big villa? You slept with a filthy prostitute; you won't live long!"
Ashley looked at them like they were idiots.
From a distance, Ethan pieced it together. So that was why Ashley grabbed him , calling him a filthy gigolo yesterday. So this was the story.
"Kira, Easton, you scumbags, how dare you frame Ashley! I'll beat you both to a pulp!"
Sienna swung her bag at them.
After a flurry of hits, Easton angrily shoved Sienna away. "Sienna, enough!"
"What the heck? You made Ashley sick, I'll make you pay!"
Sienna went to hit them again.
Ashley rubbed her temples in frustration. "Sienna, stop."
Sienna finally halted.
Kira, feeling indignant, suddenly rushed out and pushed Sienna.
"Don't bully my Easton!"
"Ah..."
"Sienna!"
Sienna fell backward, and Ashley rushed to catch her. She managed to stop her in time.
Ashley coldly said, "Kira! Sienna is pregnant. If anything happens to her, can you take responsibility?"
Easton raised his hand to slap her. "You bitch, who gave you the right to talk to my wife like that?!"
But his hand was suddenly stopped mid-air.
Ethan hadn't planned to interfere, but seeing Easton about to hit Ashley, he instinctively stepped in.
"Who are you?"
Kira didn't recognize Ethan and looked confused.
But Easton knew who he was and immediately backed down, his courage evaporating.
Ethan's gaze turned icy. "Only a coward hits a woman."
Only he could mess with Ashley, no one else had the right!
"Ethan, why are you here?"
Ashley was surprised, wondering why she kept running into him.
Ethan pushed Easton away and coldly said, "Get lost!"
Easton pulled Kira away, and Kira asked in confusion, "Easton, why are we afraid of that guy? Why is he helping Ashley?"
"He's Ethan, the head of the Yates Group. We're no match for him, let's go."
What, the head of the Yates Group?
How did they know each other?
Kira was almost driven mad with jealousy.
"Ashley, I'm furious. They kicked you out and now they've made you sick? Why do they hate you so much?"
Sienna was very concerned.
Ashley glanced at Ethan and forced a smile. "Don't worry, I got checked. I'm not sick."
"That's great!"
Ashley sincerely said, "Mr. Yates, thank you for earlier."
Ethan gave her a cold glance and turned to leave without a word.
Ashley chased after him. "Mr. Yates, I misunderstood you before, and I feel very sorry for that."
Ethan stopped in his tracks, thinking, 'Does she really think I'm a prostitute? The internet is everywhere these days, and I'm pretty well-known online. How can she not know who I am? Or is all of this part of her carefully planned scheme!'
Well, he would play along then!
Ethan's eyes gleamed with a teasing light. "You didn't misunderstand. I just don't have a disease..."
