Chapter 221: Ethan Will Be Expelled from Stellar Enterprises
"Isn't this place unreliable at times?" Ethan was unhappy and pinched Jasmine's forehead.
Jasmine instinctively closed one eye, thinking it would hurt, but he controlled his strength.
"For six years, with Harper's character, if she really had evidence of us being together six years ago, wouldn't she have exposed it already? In other words, if she really was the person six years ago, why would she wait until recently to reveal it?"
Jasmine had considered this, but if it wasn't Harper, then who could it be?
It seemed even more troublesome if it was someone else.
Ethan trapped Jasmine in his arms and edited his Weibo content absent-mindedly.
Caption: "Hold your hand and grow old with you."
Soon, Ethan's Weibo post was inundated, with the popularity skyrocketing to the top.
Everyone left comments below his post, claiming that they had just gone through a breakup.
The top three comments under the Weibo post were unusually replied to by Ethan himself.
Comment 1: "Mr. Douglas, have you already made an official announcement before the press conference? Is it really Harper? If it's someone from the Brown family, I will truly cry!"
Ethan replied: "My wife's last name isn't Brown."
Comment 2: "Ethan, don't be with anyone from the Brown family. They are so vicious."
Ethan replied: "Hmm."
"The union of wealthy people is all about matching social backgrounds. Even if Ethan doesn't get married, he wouldn't marry a poor person."
Ethan replied: "In the modern world, social backgrounds have nothing to do with family background and wealth. I think she matches me, and she thinks I'm valuable. It's as simple as that."
...
With Ethan's sudden appearance in the comment section, it exploded.
As a result, Ethan's replies to netizens' comments once again climbed to the trending list.
Stellar Enterprises.
Howard was preparing for a press conference when someone from the public relations department rushed in with a pale face.
"Chairman... something, something happened!" the person from the public relations department stuttered. "Mr. Douglas, there was a public announcement of a love affair on Weibo."
Howard's face instantly darkened. He picked up his phone and glanced at it, then stood up abruptly, slamming the table. "Who gave him the audacity?"
"This traitor!"
Howard's face turned black as he forcefully slammed the table, his emotions getting out of control.
In his view, Ethan's sudden announcement of a love affair right before the press conference was the biggest provocation towards him.
This son... he really shouldn't have let him stay.
"Chairman, Miss Harper... is threatening suicide and is in a highly agitated state. We've already called an ambulance."
Howard was trembling with anger, pointing his finger at the assistant. "Call that bastard and tell him to come over!"
Ethan had completely hit Howard's sore spot.
This time... Howard would definitely not let Ethan off easily.
...
Conference room.
Clara sipped her coffee leisurely while wearing high heels. "Daniel, Ethan has brought this upon himself, it's extremely foolish."
Daniel Douglas had a heavy pressure weighing on him as he kept his head down, constantly looking at the photos on his phone.
Daniel Douglas knew that Jasmine had a small mole on her left hand.
Clearly, in the official announcement photo of Ethan holding hands, the woman was Jasmine.
"I thought Ethan was clever and hard to handle. He has been patient all these years. Turns out, I overestimated him." Clara chuckled. "It's truly foolish to anger your father at a time like this."
Daniel Douglas remained silent.
"Daniel, our opportunity has come." Clara stood up.
This time, Howard should have the heart to eliminate this rebellious son.
After all, this child has already slipped out of their control.
"Can't you hear your mother speaking?" Clara grew a bit angry, looking at Daniel Douglas's lack of spine, becoming infuriated.
Daniel Douglas snapped out of it and said nothing.
"Mom, five years ago, you said Jasmine tried to extort five million from you. Was that true?" Daniel Douglas asked in a low voice.
Clara paused for a moment. "What's gotten into you today? On a day like this, you have the mood to bring that up to me?"
"I want to know if it's true," Daniel Douglas said, grabbing his hair and experiencing a severe headache.
"What's true and what's not, she admitted it herself in court, did you forget?" Clara rolled her eyes and went to the window with her coffee cup. "Let's talk business first. Ethan really angered your dad. The board members were all there, and your dad is definitely going to make a decision. As long as you have more shares than Ethan, we can completely kick him out."
Clara wanted Ethan out of Stellar Enterprises, out of the Douglas family.
Without Stellar Enterprises, without the Douglas family, let's see if Ethan still has any confidence or qualifications to be proud.
Daniel Douglas slowly clenched his fingers and stood up straight. "Alright."
He would try his best to convince his father to hand over the company to him.
He wouldn't be any worse than Ethan.
Without the support of Stellar Enterprises, what is Ethan worth?
Wanting to make a comeback? Starting his own business? He absolutely wouldn't let him have the chance to rise again.
He wanted to step on Ethan, he wanted Ethan to know... how he had made it through these years! Being trampled on, being belittled, being called worthless.
"Harper tried to commit suicide." Downstairs, an ambulance and fire truck arrived.
Clara laughed. "This Harper is a very smart woman. Without public knowledge, she created public opinion."
"Tsk tsk, if it weren't for the Brown family's current bad reputation, I really would want you to be with Harper. Only a woman like her can help you." Clara spoke solemnly.
"Mom, what are you saying? Serena can hear you." Daniel Douglas frowned and signaled Clara not to speak recklessly.
"Serena? A sickly girl, erratic and crazy. Besides her identity as the true heiress of the Wilson family, she's worthless. I actually hope for her, a tragic beauty, to die." Clara snorted.
"Mom!" Daniel Douglas was very unhappy. "Please be careful with your words."
After speaking, he left the office.
Outside of Stellar Enterprises, there were reporters everywhere.
Harper's suicide attempt shifted the focus of public opinion onto her.
Originally, there were some rumors between Harper and Ethan.
Regardless of whether there is evidence, the fact that Ethan, a scumbag, dumped Harper and caused her suicide will be confirmed.
Ethan, oh Ethan, too arrogant.
In an instant, he offended so many people and is now abandoned by everyone.
When everyone is united against him, how will he handle it?
Everyone is waiting to see Ethan's fate.
...
Ethan's house.
Liam's phone was ringing off the hook, but Ethan refused to answer. Taking advantage of Justin and Eric going to school, Ethan naturally found the perfect opportunity to improve his relationship with his wife.
So, when Liam knocked on the door, Ethan pretended not to hear.
"Ethan... is something wrong?" Jasmine was worried.
"You may have angered Howard, he might actually take back your shares," Jasmine looked at Ethan lying in her arms, feeling a bit bitter.
She also wanted him to take a break.
It must be exhausting to live in such a family, right?
Even between father and son, they had to scheme like this.
"Have you thought about what you'll do if you leave Stellar Enterprises?" Jasmine laughed in resignation as Ethan remained silent, pretending to sleep.
"If I truly have nothing left, will you resent me?" Ethan asked in a hoarse voice.
"No," Jasmine's voice was resolute.
"But if I can't protect you anymore, will you leave me?" Ethan was afraid that Jasmine would run away.
"I won't..." Jasmine's gaze wandered. "I will protect you... I won't let that happen."
If it really became irreparable, she would go find Nolan Cunningham.
Even if it meant sacrificing everything... it didn't matter.
As long as Ethan was well.
The sun should always hang high in the blue sky.
