Chapter 43 She Might Not Want to Marry Him.

“Ambnce! Call an ambnce now!”

Jonathan felt like his balls had shattered.

Ste was a girl, and she actually kicked ba /bguy in that important spot. She wasn’t even ashamed.

Jonathan was furious.

Ethan saw Jonathan suffer at Ste’s hands band /bstormed toward her, angry. “What the hell are you bdoing/b? I’m telling you right bnow/b, beven /bif you flip all of Rivermount upside down, I still won’t marry you.”

Ste and Eddie were both speechless.

Ethan’s cold, unyielding attitude, like he wouldn’t sacrifice for anyone, made Eddie nce over at Ste.

And it bwas /balso those very words that made everyone around them look at Ste with even more contempt.

A few nosy ones started whispering on the spot.

“Didn’t she say that she was breaking off the engagement with Mr. Keene? bWhat/b? Does she regret it now?”

“And even if she does, so what? Mr. Keene obviously has no intention of marrying her

“Honestly, a woman needs to know how to behave sometimes. Look at her, acting like a total shrew. No wonder the Reed family and Mr. Keene both don’t like her. She is acting like that, who would like her?”

Just as Ethan was about to say more, his phone suddenly buzzed.

It was a picture from Susan. bLillian /bwas lying curled up bon /bba /bhospital bed, clearly in painb. /bHer hair was soaked in cold sweat.

Seeing Lillian like that made Ethan’s heart bache/b.

His rage toward Ste, which had been boiling, instantly quieted down.

He looked at Ste and grabbed her wrist. “Can we bnot /bdo this bright /bnow? Pleaseb?/b”

Ste bfrowned /bslightly. “Let go.”

There bwas /ba sh of disgust in her eyes–bsmall/b, but bEthan /bnoticed it bclearly/bb. /b

T

Is the disgusted because of Lillian? Or because of that man in her house?

At that moment, Ethan realized Ste might actually not want to marry

him.

And that realization hit Ethan like a punch to the chest.

He tightened his grip on her wrist. “bCome /bwith me.”

Ste repeated himself, “I said let go.”

Ethan turned around.

Their eyes met, and in bthat /binstant, he saw only ice–cold contempt in hers.

Her gaze was freezing. There wasn’t a trace of warmth in it.

Ste basked /bcalmly, “Do you want to end up in the hospital like Jonathan?”

Ethan was slightly stunned.

Finished

Justst night, there’d been some brandom /bguy with her at Kingston Heights. And at the moment, there was another one.

bBut /bas soon bas /bhe got a good look at Eddie’s face, Ethan’s eyes widened.

Eddie McKenzie? Why is he here?

This was Eddie, Falvaria’s medical genius. Especially in heart surgery, he had never failed a single operation.

Over the years, countless billionaires had begged him to operate.

bBut /bfor some reason, he had suddenly ended his medical career two years ago. Since bthen/b, he hadn’t taken ba /bsingle patient.

Still, his name came up all the time when people talked about top–tier surgeons.

“Who I am doesn’t matter,” Eddie said quietly, eyes narrowed. “But if you don’t let go of her, Mr. Keene, I can guarantee. you’re not walking out of this party alive tonight.”

The dangerous glint in his usually gentle eyes was sharp and deadly.

Even Ste, who knew him well, felt her heart tighten.

That one sentence sent a chill down Ethan’s spine like he’d never felt before.

And slowly, inch by inch, he loosened his grip on Ste’s wrist.

Ste behind him.

The moment she was free, Eddie pulled St

He leaned down and asked her bin /bba /blow voice, “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.” Ste said as she rubbed her sore wrist.

Eddie threw Ethan’s hand aside and looked at Ste with soft affection. “Are you full?”

Ste was speechless. I’ve only had one bite!

But with this crowd around, she bdidn’t /bfeel like eating anymore. So she just nodded. “Yeah.”

“Good. Then let’s go. The air here is disgusting.” Eddie didn’t bother hiding bhis /bcontempt.

And with that, he walked out with Steb. /b

Everyone at the party was stunned, especially Ethan, bwhen /bhe saw the way Eddie treated Ste.

Why is Eddie treating her like that? What’s really going on between him and Ste? And that armed man at Kingston Heightsst night, he looks like someone important too.
