Chapter 183 Being Watched by Ethan
“Really?”
Kristen was surprised and hugged Heloise happily. “Aunt, you are the best to me. Thank you.”
“Okay, go ahead.”
Heloise tilted her head to hide her soft side.
Kristen pecked her cheek and left with her suitcase.
“Grandfather, forgive my willfulness.”
Kristen hugged Mr. Old Oliver tightly. Although she had made up her mind to leave, she knew that she had let her family down.
“No matter what, it’s fine as long as you’re happy. Go, come visit me more often in the future.”
Mr. Old Oliver’s eyes were full of reluctance, but after seeing his granddaughter’s despondent look in the past few days, he had figured it out.
Nothing was more important than the happiness of his granddaughter.
“Let’s go. I happen to want to go back as well.”
Gavin took the suitcase and left with Kristen.
In the car, Kristen couldn’t help crying when she saw her grandfather, brothers, and aunt watching her from the third floor.
Gavin did not try to persuade her. He waited until she was done crying before saying, “If you regret it, we can go back in time now.”
“I won’t regret it.”
Kristen sniffed and said with certainty.
Gavin shook his head helplessly and said seriously, “There is one thing that I must tell you.”
Kristen was taken aback by Gavin’s seriousness.
“Ethan is not as simple as you think. I investigated and found out that he has the support of the Emper Group.”
Kristen held his hand tightly and explained softly, “I know.”
Gavin frowned at her and asked in a cold voice, “Then do you know that Emper Group has many shady means in the business world?”
Kristen was silent, but she believed that Ethan did have some tricks. However, he would never do such outrageous things.
“Be careful yourself.”
As Heloise spoke, he handed her a black card. “I gave this to you. Don’t let yourself suffer outside. If you realize that Ethan is a bastard, you can go home anytime.”
“He won’t.”
Kristen put the black card in her pocket with certainty.
“I hope so.”
Gavin frowned and the worry on his face increased.
After getting off the plane, Kristen dialed Anna’s number and said, “Anna, pick me up at the airport.”
Kristen only realized that Jacob was driving when she got into the RV.
Anna spoke with Kristen in her arms, “You’re finally back. I was so worried.”
Kristen touched her head and looked at Jacob. “Where is Ethan now? Take me to him.”
“Okay.”
Jacob nodded. Although Ethan did not disclose his whereabouts, he had been paying attention to him, so it was not difficult for him to find out.
When they arrived at the largest hotel in the city, Jacob explained, “Miss Healey, I’ve already investigated. Mr. Wharton is inside. The engagement venue is also here.”
“Right here?”
Kristen looked over and saw two rows of bodyguards standing outside the door. It was obvious that this hotel had been booked.
Anna put down her cell phone and said, “Kristen, this hotel seems to have been booked by Mr. Wharton.”
Kristen took off her sunglasses and walked down.
They looked at each other and quickly got out of the car to follow her.
When she reached the door and was stopped, Kristen said directly, “I want to see Ethan.”
The bodyguard didn’t say a word. Jacob quickly took out his business card and said, “I’m Mr. Wharton’s assistant. We’re looking for him for something.”
They were still indifferent.
Anna rolled up her sleeves and was about to make a way for Kristen, but the bodyguard in front of her was like a wall that could not be broken through.
“Ethan! Ethan!.”
Kristen shouted, but the bodyguards were still unmoved. There was not even a single person in the hotel who came out to investigate.
That was… so embarrassing.
After two hours, the three of them returned to the RV in low spirits.
“Jacob, can’t you get in touch with Mr. Wharton at all?”
Anna stared at Jacob. He was also Ethan’s personal assistant. Why was he so useless at such a critical moment?
“I really can’t reach him.”
Jacob felt a little embarrassed. As an assistant, he failed to fulfill his duty.
“When night falls, I don’t believe I can’t break in.”
Kristen had made up her mind to barge in. Tomorrow was the day of the engagement and she had to see Ethan today.
When the sky gradually darkened, the bodyguards also changed shifts, but they were still cold-blooded and ruthless.
Kristen gritted her teeth. It couldn’t go on like this.
“Hey, you dropped something.”
A student-like girl patted her on the shoulder and handed her a note.
Kristen opened it, revealing a smiling face and a room number.
Trisha?
Kristen grabbed the note and said to them, “Go ahead and wait for me in the RV. I’ll be back soon.”
As she spoke, she went to the base next door.
She knocked on the door, revealing Trisha’s face. She was still wearing her student uniform. “Hello, Kristen.”
She chuckled and asked, “Judging from your outfit, are you here for a mission?”
Trisha walked to the sofa and sat down, looking boneless. “Yes, my mission is to assassinate Ethan.”
Kristen’s heart skipped a beat. Seeing that Trisha didn’t seem to be joking with her, she quickly asked, “Who bribed you?”
Although Trisha was usually a bit sloppy, she had never made a bad comment on business. That was why she was so nervous.
Trisha spread her hands. “Kristen, I’ve told you the rules of our line of business. I can’t tell you.”
Kristen went up to her and hugged her. She rubbed against her and said, “Please tell me your price.”
Trisha had no choice but told the truth. “I’ve checked it out. The employer has someone behind it, but it’s too secretive to be found out for the time being. But the employer is very generous and paid the full amount directly.”
“Who could the employer be?”
Kristen gritted her teeth. She had never doubted Trisha’s ability. If she hadn’t come today, she couldn’t believe what would have happened.
“Trisha, how can you cancel this mission?”
Kristen asked seriously and blinked her eyes.
Trisha’s words were shocking. “There’s no such thing as cancel or not, I didn’t take on this mission at all. Ethan is your man, how could I take on this mission?”
“Ah! You’re the best! You’re my closest sister!” Kristen exclaimed.
Trisha pushed her proudly and said, “Come on, what do you mean by closest? You only have me as your bestie.”
Kristen smiled and realized that something was wrong. “Since you didn’t accept it, what are you doing here?”NôvelDrama.Org content.
Trisha’s almond-shaped eyes narrowed, and her harmless face emitted danger at this moment.
“I Knew that Ethan is engaged to someone else. I’ve already prepared everything. If he really dares to betray you, I’ll give him a funeral gift.”
