Chapter 305 Ethan's Relationship with the President of Crestwood Development Group
Serenity sarcastically laughed. "As what you said, it seems like you are very familiar with the President of Crestwood Development Group. If you're capable, go ahead and have a confrontation with him."
Jasmine sighed and looked at Mrs. Everhart, explaining, "Although I don't know the President of Crestwood Development Group, I am very familiar with Ethan. If you want some excitement, I can have him ask around."
Jasmine knew that Ethan and the President of Crestwood Development Group definitely knew each other.
Before Crystal Valley Retreat Resort was open to the public, No one was allowed by the President of Crestwood Development Group to have a visit. But Ethan and her were the exception.
This indicated that Ethan and the President of Crestwood Development Group definitely had a very good private relationship.
"Ethan? That's hilarious. If the President of Crestwood Development Group really had such a good relationship with Ethan, would he sit back and watch him being kicked out by the Douglas family? He would have intervened a long time ago!" Serenity said disdainfully.
It should be noted that Howard was someone who bullied the weak and feared the strong. He only dared to treat Ethan like this because he knew his son had no backer.
If he had known earlier about Ethan's good relationship with the international President of Crestwood Development Group, he definitely wouldn't have handled the situation so ruthlessly.
"Exactly, those big shots value their interests. What does Ethan have now? They probably wouldn't even answer if he called."
"Yes, that's right. It's really funny. They actually thought Ethan was still the former CEO of the Douglas family," someone chuckled.
"But even if Ethan weren't the CEO, I would still be willing to support him," someone else joked.
"Look at yourself before judging others. You have no right to be so shameless," Fiona looked at the person with disgust.
The woman snorted, "You're just an imposter from the Cunningham family, thinking you're a true heiress? Annabelle is the real princess. At most, you're just an ugly duckling."
"Oh, I see now. It's because you both share the same mindset - trying to claim someone else's identity to live a wealthy life. But both of you ended up disappointed," Serenity mocked as well.
"At least, I know she works hard for herself, whether it's in acting or her years in the entertainment industry. As for you, you have no talent or capability, relying solely on your parents to arrange a marriage with a wealthy person to maintain your vanity. It's really pathetic," Jasmine defended Fiona, not wanting to hear those hurtful words.
Fiona glanced at Jasmine; her eyes flickered, but she didn't say anything.
"Why are you pretending? If you're capable, why don't you call Ethan? Let Mrs. Everhart see what he's capable of now," Serenity sarcastically remarked.
Jasmine took out her phone and called Ethan.
Regardless, securing the investment from the Everhart family was crucial.
Ethan wanted to start a business; this was the key.
"Hey, darling, do you want me to pick you up?" Ethan immediately answered.
Jasmine blushed and glanced discreetly at Mrs. Everhart standing nearby. Though she didn't use the loudspeaker, Mrs. Everhart could still be heard.
Mrs. Everhart chuckled. Ethan was quite fond of his wife.
In this aspect, he was much better than those men.
"Ethan," Jasmine whispered. "Do you happen to know the President of Crestwood Development Group?"
Ethan fell silent for a moment.
The others began to taunt.
"He's really a clown, shameless."
"The Douglas Residence kicked him out."
Frowning, Jasmine subconsciously walked a few steps away, not wanting Ethan to hear those filthy words.
"Sweetheart, I'll come to pick you up later," Ethan replied with a smile, "I'm quite familiar with the President of Crestwood Development Group. What's going on?"
Jasmine spoke softly, "Mrs. Everhart and I were discussing venture capital. Serenity insists that her husband is close to the President of Crestwood Development Group. Now, we need to show Mrs. Everhart a little bit of your connections and abilities."
Ethan wanted to laugh and replied, "Alright, honey. I'll get in touch and show off my abilities."
Jasmine blushed slightly. "If it's too difficult, forget it. If the relationship is really good, you can contact him. But if he is like everyone else and just opportunistic, we won't contact him."
Jasmine truly cared about Ethan.
Ethan felt that his wife was too gentle and considerate, always being cautious of him. "Yes, we have a good relationship. Don't worry, wait for my message."
After hanging up, Jasmine felt inexplicably at ease.
"Does Ethan know the President of Crestwood Development Group?" Fiona couldn't believe and ask in a calm voice, "Don't embarrass Ethan."
"Yes, he does." Jasmine answered earnestly.
Fiona muttered, "Let me tell you, these people are very practical. When Ethan was the CEO of the Douglas family, it was difficult for them even to get a meeting. Now that traitors have deceived Ethan, they have no shame anymore."
Jasmine nodded. "Human nature is naturally inclined toward seeking benefits and avoiding harm."
Fiona glanced at Jasmine, asking, "And what about you? Why don't you leave him?"
Fiona was surprised. If Jasmine had only approached Ethan for the sake of his high status, she would have fallen from grace by now. Why hadn't she left?
Jasmine looked at Fiona and replied,"We are couple and we should share weal and woe."
Fiona snorted and gave Jasmine a sarcastic look. "I'm still waiting for you to pursue wealth and fame and then leave Ethan. I'll take advantage of the opportunity."
Fiona spoke her mind. She did think that way. If Jasmine left Ethan at this time, she would definitely be good to Ethan and do everything she could to help him.
"Well, you don't have a chance anymore." Jasmine covered her mouth and chuckled.
She would never let Ethan go.
"But thank you anyway for helping me," Jasmine said gratefully.
"What are you thanking me for? I'm not doing it for you," Fiona snorted. "I'll help Ethan. If he needs any assistance with his startup, just let me know."
"Thank you," Jasmine said. She hadn't expected Fiona to be willing to help Ethan in his time of adversity.
People are always sympathetic toward those experiencing hardships. It is during difficult times that true character is revealed.
"What? Did you finish the call?" Serenity was still gossiping about Ethan and Jasmine with Mrs. Everhart, saying that Jasmine had a scandalous and reckless lifestyle filled with rumors.
At her age, Mrs. Everhart had no interest in listening to such things. But to save face, she didn't say anything.
After a while, Mrs. Everhart's phone rang.
It was her husband calling.
After finishing the call, Mrs. Everhart's face immediately turned serious.
"Mrs. Everhart, Ethan cannot possibly know the president of Crestwood Development Group. They are nothing more than impostors, trying to scam you into investing," Serenity continued.
"Are you finished?" Mrs. Everhart spoke in a solemn tone, "Talking ill of others behind their backs truly shows a lack of manners."
Serenity was surprised and paused for a moment.
"Just now, my husband called me. He said the president of Crestwood Development Group personally called him and assured him of his close relationship with Ethan whose character speaks for itself, but all of you..." Mrs. Everhart glanced at Serenity and then at those who had spoken ill of Ethan.
"And as for your husband, the president of Crestwood Development Group said that he has already terminated their partnership, and they don't even know each other. He has never even seen your husband before." Mrs. Everhart said coldly.
Serenity stared at Mrs. Everhart in shock, wanting to say something. However, the phone rang. It was her husband’s call.
Serenity's trembling hands as she rushed to answer the call, receiving a torrent of angry scolding, Jasmine innocently remarked, imitating Annabelle's tone of speaking, "She can badmouth me in front of all of you, and in the future, she'll be able to badmouth all of you in front of others too. You're all implicated, don't let her affect you."
She knows how to sow discord, after all.
"Let's go, let's go." Several ladies in society realized the situation was not favorable and quickly turned and ran.
When Annabelle finally managed to break free from Betty and approached, everyone had already disappeared.
