Chapter 167
There was another period of silence.
Kylie’s words rendered Ethan speechless.
There was a long stalemate belore Fthan gave a vague mule
His smile was lonely. He said. “Kylie, is it that hard to work with me?”
Kylie’s heart seemed to hurt for a moment. “Eihän had always been domineering. However, his words just now seemed to be filled with sadness. His tone sounded so powerless
She said. “After you announced your engagement with Stella, I already told you that our relationship is not deep enough for me to bear everything for you Instead, the current situation is that because of you, I suffered the Garner family’s revenge. I can’t resist the Garner family Ethan Why should I pay for your love and hatred with Stella? Do you think it’s fair?”
Kylie’s attitude was still determined.
She was so determined that Ethan felt he could not catch up to Kylie.
His current persistence was in vain. In fact, it would only disgust Kylie and only add to her hurt.
He began to wonder if he should compromise as Kylie had said. ‘Should I go against my feelings like a tool and numbly accept all the arrangements and marry a woman I did not love?
In that way, he could fulfill the happiness that Kylie wanted.
Ethan’s clenched fingers gradually relaxed. He said, “Can you give me a chance?”
He begged her softly and humbly.
Kylie bit her lip hard.
“If I can’t keep you safe this time, I’ll marry Stella. From then on, I won’t disturb you at all, Ethan promised.
He held onto the last bit of hope.
Kylie wanted to refuse, but she suddenly chose to remain silent.
Ever since she discovered that Ethan had hidden the fact that Joseph was his child but had been deliberately approaching her, she had lost her trust in Ethan. She did not believe that Ethan would love her.
He only wanted to revenge her for leaving without saying goodbye back then. She even left Joseph behind.
Now, she still held onto that thought.
No matter how Ethan treated her, she always kept herself rational and did not give herself a chance.
She did not want to suffer because of men again and again.
Once, she had been hurt by Sergio. And then, Ethan.
She was tired
In her life, men were no longer within her consideration. The only thing she had left to look forward to was Joseph
“Okay.” But at that moment, Kylie agreed.
She was a businesswoman.
Ethan’s deal with her was beneficial and harmless.
She did not want to be imprisoned for no reason.
At least the way Ethan offered could ensure her absolute safety.
When Ethan heard Kylie’s affirmative answer, he heaved a sigh of relief.
He was so nervous that his palms were sweating.
“Take a look at the case.” Kylie handed him the files of her case.
She did not say anything else.
Ethan took the case files and read them thoroughly.
He had an earnest expression on his face. After an unknown time, he asked. “Do you mind if I take a copy?”
“Not at all.” replied Kylie.
“Thank you.” Ethan thanked her.

she thought. So it’s also triky even for you, right”
lot long after Ethan leh, Zola returned
she and Quintina had not gone far at all. When Zola saw Ethan leave, she immediately returned home.
“Quintina said she still has something to do, so she left, Zola said “She said that if there’s any progress on the case, she will ustorm you immediately. If you find anything new, you must inform her at once, too. She will keep her phone on all the
“I will,” Kylie promised
Zola suddenly fixed her eyes on Kylie
Kylie was still looking down at her case. She did not look up at Zola but asked, “What are you trying to say?”
“Well, Ethan” Zola sand tentatively
Kylie compressed her lips.
She did not reply, nor did she stop Zola.
Zola
ontinued boldly. “Ethan must have been forced into a helpless marriage with Stella. Although I also feel that Ethan did not do well in handling the matter between you and Stella, after thinking about it carefully, how can he get it done well? When Ethan was pursuing you, he did not know that the Garner family would hold such thoughts. I know he would settle the Garner family first before pursuing you.
“But since he already has feelings for you, and the Garner family also knows about your existence, it’s almost impossible for you to escape unharmed from Ethan’s relationship with Stella. Well, maybe it would be possible if Ethan immediately cut off all ties with you and got together with Stella. But Ethan doesn’t like Stella. Even without your existence, he wouldn’t have married Stella. On the contrary, your existence has become a threat to Ethan. The Garner family must know how important you are to Ethan, so they deliberately framed you and made Ethan compromise. Of course, I’m not blaming you or saying you’ve done anything wrong. What I mean is that Ethan is in a difficult position now.”
Zola quickly explained.
She was afraid that Kylie would misunderstand.
She only hoped that Kylie could hate Ethan less,
Ethan must be under no less pressure than Kylie.
“And I can guarantee that no matter what sacrifice Ethan makes, he will not let anything happen to you.” Zola said firmly. “Don’t blame him too much, okay? I’m afraid he will die of sadness,”
“Im not making things difficult for him. Kylie said.
Her voice was still lukewarm.
“We’ve reached an agreement. We’ll live in peace from now on.”
“What agreement?” Zola was curious.
“Let’s talk about it later” Kylie did not try to hide it from Zola.
It was just that she did not want Zola to worry about their matters.
Zola could still feel Kylie’s rejection of Ethan and could not help but sigh.
When it came to love, one could only know best by their personal experience. They did not have much say if they were not in a relationship
Zola only said what she could think of. As for the final result, she would leave it to fate.
“Oh, right.” Zola seemed to have suddenly thought of something.
Kylie looked up at her.
“Did you know that Ethan’s name wasn’t Ethan Zola asked.
“He used to name Cedric Hayden When he was 12, he suddenly asked our grandfather to change his name. He said that he wants to be called Ethan My family asked him why, but he didn’t tell us. Later, Grandfather checked the meaning and thought Ethan sunted him, so agreed Zola asked Kylie seriously. “Why do you think Ethan changed his name?”
