CHAPTER 24: CHAPTER 24: NO ONE CAN FATHOM ETHAN STERLING’S THOUGHTS

EDITOR: ENDLESSFANTASY TRANSLATION

Nathan Ayers also understood that his boss was an incredibly terrifying control freak. It didn’t matter who or what; he had to firmly grasp it in his own hands.

But he hadn’t expected that even someone as "not quite right in the head" as Seraphina Redgrave wouldn’t be spared!

Nathan quickly said, "President Sterling, she’s just a lunatic. She’s not worth your effort; Nanny Lynch and the others can handle such trivial matters like meals."

Yet Ethan Sterling didn’t immediately respond to him. Instead, he kept staring at Seraphina sitting in the chair, never looking away.

This woman looked quite pleasing to the eye, but the things she did were just irritating.

If one day he could bind Seraphina to his side forever, not letting her go anywhere, it wouldn’t be too bad.

Thinking of this, Ethan pressed his lips together. "What you said makes some sense. She’s a ’lunatic,’ definitely not worth my effort!"

??? Seraphina really couldn’t understand this time—what on earth did Ethan mean?

On one hand, genuinely and falsely testing her, and on the other, never speaking frankly. The situation was really tormenting, leaving one in a dilemma!

Oh well, since she’s here, she might as well stay.

Ethan suddenly reached out his hand, holding Seraphina’s wrist and examining it closely.

This black thing was really an eyesore!

It was a handcuff made of some unknown material, worn day in and day out, now becoming one with Seraphina’s arm.

Removing it would be as difficult as peeling the skin and pulling out the tendons.

Ethan rubbed his brow.

This reckless little thing really knew how to cause him trouble!

"Before, some people from the forbidden domain also escaped. After coming here, not knowing how to deal with this thing, they had no choice but to chop off their arm..."

Anyone who entered the forbidden domain almost never survived.

The forbidden domain itself was a hellish existence!

Even if one was lucky enough to escape, they had to live the rest of their life with the stigma of a ’sinner.’

Killing one physically and mentally, that’s all it is.

Being a person from the forbidden domain, Seraphina understood the risks involved.

Someone as cautious as her, living on the edge of a knife, would never carelessly expose her identity over trivial issues like clothing.

"So you’re saying, as long as this is on his hand for a day, she’s always a sinner?"

Ethan flipped her wrist back and forth, his expression indifferent as if he were examining a document.

"Nathan, I don’t care what method you use, just camouflage it for now. Hmm, make it look like a bracelet!"

???

Although Nathan had many doubts, he didn’t dare to show them outwardly.

"Okay, President Sterling. I’ll think of a way."

Wasn’t this just an unnecessary effort? After all, that lunatic Seraphina couldn’t leave Hibiscus Garden!

No one would have thought that someone like Ethan would hide a person from the forbidden domain in his home.

Nathan had a thousand things he wanted to say, but he didn’t have the guts. Carefully observing Ethan’s expression, he took a deep breath.

"President Sterling, are you going back to the company later?"

Ethan glanced at him, "Do I look like someone who loves going to work?"

So was Ethan really planning to stay at Hibiscus Garden today?

Seraphina silently calculated in her heart that someone as capricious as Ethan couldn’t be understood with common sense.

He never mentioned past issues again, but Seraphina had to guard against him bringing them up at any time.

Just then, Ethan’s private phone rang repeatedly, and he impatiently stood up to answer it outside.

Seraphina couldn’t hear what was being said on the other end, but Ethan’s expression became terrifyingly grim in an instant.

The atmosphere felt like an impending storm, ready to tear apart the person on the other end of the line in the next second.

Everyone quietly lowered their heads, trying to minimize their presence.

No one dared to provoke Ethan at this moment!

After hanging up the phone, Ethan remained silent for a long time.

No one knew what he was thinking; it was just visible that his emotions gradually calmed down, reverting to his lofty and domineering self.

"Nathan, go to The Sterling Family mansion!"

Ethan led the way out of the hall, not even having time to look back at Seraphina.

Some people just don’t understand what it means to "behave," so he was going to go back and teach them a lesson on how to act properly!

Right now, he was itching to deal with those irritating fools.

Nathan quickly followed suit and left.

Seeing him really leave Hibiscus Garden, Seraphina’s heart, which had been tightly clenched, started to loosen.

That was close! Just a bit more, and she would’ve confronted Ethan directly today.

She instinctively touched the handcuff on her hand—consider it a narrow escape from death!

Having survived a great catastrophe, future fortune is bound to follow.

"Oh dear, this constant fear is too hard on my old heart!"

Granny Coleman supported her aching back, slowly sitting on the sofa, her hands trembling incessantly.

"I don’t know who President Sterling takes after with his temper. When he’s not here, it’s fine. But once he’s here, it feels like the air has thinned considerably!"

Nanny Lynch, who had just gone to the pantry to make coffee for Ethan, returned to find him already gone.

"Huh? Where did President Sterling go?"

"Someone called him, and he went out after listening. You should’ve seen it earlier; President Sterling’s expression was like he was going to kill someone!"

Nanny Lynch thought for a moment and immediately understood the reason behind it.

Surely, more trouble had arisen at The Sterling Family mansion!

The Sterling Family never seemed to learn, no matter how many times they were taught a lesson.

Forgetting their punishment as soon as they’re full! Serves them right for their suffering!
