Chapter 015 A Good Deal

"How did you know that the Jones Group has an internal deficit and this increase in revenue and shares plan is to gather money and run away?" Dorothy asked as she stood in front of Ethan, blocking his path.

Ethan said aloofly, "I've already explained before, and I don't want to repeat myself. I believe you're not deaf!"

This remark made Dorothy so angry that she couldn't help but roll her eyes. This guy sure knows how to infuriate people.

Normally, the men who saw her would all be courteous and act like gentlemen.

"I believe your explanation, so I've decided to retract the ten million US dollars used to buy the Jones Group shares!" said Dorothy and suddenly smiled.

Her words stunned Ethan. He thought this woman would say something insulting, but he didn't expect...

"Do you truly believe me?" He frowned and said, "Up to you."

Dorothy replied, "Can you bear to see the Smith family suffer such a huge loss because of the Jones Group?"

Ethan said, "They don't believe me, no matter what I say. I am curious though, why do you believe me?"

"I have been observing you all along, including today when I lied and attributed your credit to Norton. It was all a test to see if you're a magnanimous man. After carefully observing you, I think you are not someone driven by personal gain, nor someone who would intentionally boast. So, if they don't believe you, I do!" she said.

Dorothy walked beside Ethan, smiling charmingly. Her rhythmical movements showcased her black silk leggings, and the sound of her high heels tapping the ground was pleasant to the ears.

Ethan looked surprised and frowned slightly.

Taking advantage of the situation, Dorothy approached him and said with a smile, "Mr. McKellen, everything I said is true, absolutely the truth, without a single false word! I believe in you, why don't you believe in me?"

Ethan remained indifferent and said, "They don't believe me. When the time comes, persuade them to withdraw their investment in the Jones Group. Otherwise, if the Jones Group do disappear with the money, I will be powerless!"

Dorothy nodded and said, "I will find the opportunity to talk to Bernice about this matter. Just relax."

"Do you have time tomorrow? I would like to invite you for tea," Dorothy suddenly changed the subject and smiled.

"Hmm?" Ethan wasn't sure what this woman was up to.

‘Could it be that she wants to set me up again, make me look bad, and then force me to divorce Bernice?’

"You can just respond to whether you agree or not!" Dorothy approached him and reached out to hold Ethan's arm.

Ethan, who had never been in such close contact with a woman before, felt like his arm was sinking into a muddy swamp, soft and comfortable.

However, he was not a man driven by lust and immediately pulled his arm back, coldly saying, "Thanks, but I'm not interested."

Dorothy's expression fell instantly. It was the first time in her life that she had taken the initiative to ask a man out, only to be rejected so bluntly!

"You really don't know how to appreciate it!" Dorothy couldn't help but grunt, feeling frustrated.

Ethan silently waved his hand, preparing to hail a taxi.

Dorothy said, "At least I am Bernice's best friend. If you want to repair your relationship with her, you must pass this test with me! With this attitude, do you think I will speak up for you?"

Ethan calmly replied, "She doesn't like me, I am quite aware of that. Forcing a melon to ripen won't make it sweet. I married her because of my parent's request. I don't have any excessive desires towards her. I will silently protect her and wait until this fate ends."

After saying this, Ethan hailed a taxi and said to the driver, "Sir, to Sky Hotel. I mean Villa, what a hassle."

As Dorothy was about to catch up and inquire about Ethan's business at the Cloud Grand Hotel, she was stunned by what she heard.

""Sky Villa?"" Dorothy couldn't help but be astonished.

Sky Villa was the most prestigious wealthy area in the Boston region, inhabited by either billionaires or influential figures. Many of the villas were even left vacant, only occupied occasionally by those influential figures during their vacation.

‘Is Ethan actually living in a place like Sky Villa? It can't be true... He's just a prison guard, how could he afford a mansion in Sky Villa?’

Before she could snap out of her thoughts, the taxi Ethan was riding had already vanished into the distance.

Dorothy stood still, lost in her thoughts for a while, and then smiled faintly, saying, "Bernice, I heard it too. This guy isn't interested in you! Besides, you don't really like him either."
After muttering these words to herself, a sly smile grazed Dorothy's face.

‘No wonder even the richest tycoons like to scavenge the antique market. It seems scavenging is such a joyful thing!’ Dorothy thought to herself, walking happily towards her car.

Ethan returned to Sky Heaven Villa and immediately laid down in the bedroom. Moments later, he heard the doorbell. Through the electronic monitor, he saw Diana standing outside the door. Meanwhile, Diana was in military attire, her face stern, repeatedly pressing the doorbell.

"Is this woman crazy? Did she chase me all the way here just to harass me?!" Ethan sighed, it was the first time he had the thought of leaving a woman under the sun at a playground for three days.

After waiting for a while with no response, Diana said in a serious tone, "King of the Nightmare, Oliver! I know you live here, and I know you're inside."

Ethan breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that this crazy woman wasn't here for him but for that kid Oliver.

"I am Diana, Major General of the J Nation's Dragon Chamber Military. I have long admired you, sir! And I know that the Four Heavenly Kings under the Terror King's command were dealt with by you. So, I wanted to personally meet you and express my gratitude," Diana said solemnly.

Ethan couldn't be bothered and simply blocked the electronic eye and doorbell, returning to bed to continue his deep sleep.

Diana continued, "I know that what you experienced before was very painful, but it's all in the past. J Nation needs someone like you, and I hope you will seriously consider it!"

Ethan had already settled into a peaceful slumber, his breathing steady.

After waiting outside the door for another five minutes, Diana let out a sigh, leaving her business card behind.

"This is my business card. I hope you will contact me."

"I!" Diana exclaimed.

After saying this, she turned and left, but her face still revealed a faint excitement.

She had just found out who the owner of this villa was, and it surprised her.

No wonder the person was able to effortlessly deal with the four top henchmen of the King of Terror!

"Unexpectedly, the person living here is the King of the Nightmare, Oliver, the leader of the underground world in our country! If I can persuade him to help, then I can certainly achieve greater things!"

Little did she know, this villa had changed hands, and the person living inside was just a lowly prison guard whom she looked down upon!
