“Why?” Kylie asked.
He tried his best to calm himself down.

“I’ll explain when I get back.”
“Are you going to announce the wedding date?” Kylie asked bluntly.
Ethan was obviously silent for a few seconds.
“I’ve already expected it. It doesn’t affect me at all,” Kylie said bluntly.
“It’s not just…”
“Sometimes, Ethan, you can be incredibly selfish,” Kylie uttered each word with emphasis.
Ethan’s heart skipped a beat.
“No matter if your marriage with Stella was forced or not, in her eyes, you are now in a legitimate romantic relationship with her. So, continuously pursuing me while being involved with her, is it fair to her? Of course, I’m not sympathizing with someone who has shown great malice towards me. I’m just genuinely tired of your irresponsibility. It applies to her, and it applies to me too,” Kylie stated firmly.
“I will not marry Stella,” Ethan repeated again with a heavy tone.
He was probably still suppressing his anger.
“That’s your business. Whatever you do is your choice. I’m just trying my best to live my own life now. Can you not disturb me?!” Kylie’s voice was a little uncontrollable.
“Don’t come to Toville. In the future, I promise not to provoke you until I settle my personal matters,” Ethan promised.
“Do you know who gave me the invitation?” Kylie questioned Ethan. “It’s Timothy.”
“I know.”
“Do you think I can still survive in the business world if I reject him?”
“All the more reason for you to put away your edge now. You’ve already been targeted by many people.”
“I won’t be targeted if I keep my edge down? Ethan, whatever I do now, becomes a thorn in someone’s eyes. And all of this is because of you,” Kylie exclaimed, frustration evident in her voice.
“I’ll make up for it.”
“I don’t need it!” Kylie refused. “I will definitely come to Toville. I will also attend the charity banquet. As for what happens between you and Stella, announcing the wedding date and even getting married will not affect me at all!”

“Do you think I’m going to Toville just to spite you? Do you really think I want to go to Toville?! The reality is that I have no choice but to go. If I don’t go, it would be disrespectful to the Garner family. And once I show disrespect towards them, Timothy can use various forms of moral coercion to make Gideon stop cooperating with me.”
“You’re not supposed to work with Gideon.”
“Heh.” Kylie sneered.
Therefore, it was not that Ethan did not think of it, but he did not care about her situation at all.
“You also said that my sharpness has become a thorn in many people’s side. Without the protection of Gideon, how far do you think I can go?”
“You shouldn’t rely on him.”
“I shouldn’t rely on you either,” Kylie said firmly.
“I won’t let you attend the Garner family’s banquet next week. I’ll give you a reasonable explanation later.” Ethan said and hung up.
He was imperious and cold.

Kylie slammed her phone down.
She rarely got angry.
At this moment, it was really hard for her to control.
But in the end, Kylie chose to ignore it.
She did not take Ethan’s words to heart.
Until that Saturday, when she set off for Toville, Kylie realized that Ethan wasn’t just making empty threats.
She opened the door and saw Leopold standing at the door.
Leopold was accompanied by two men in black suits. They were tall and mighty, and their faces were fierce.
“What do you mean?” Kylie frowned.
She had actually guessed it in an instant.
“Ethan asked me to come over,” Leopold said. “Don’t blame him. He only did this for your own good.”
“For my own good?” Kylie asked sarcastically.
She clenched her fists tightly and really wanted to vent.
“For my own good, you should respect me and not force me like this!” Kylie’s voice was filled with

Leopold looked at her and was silent for a moment before saying slowly, “He will give you an explanation.”
“I don’t need it.” Kylie tried to calm himself down. “Leopold, please let me leave”
“Sorry.”
Leopold replied with a firm and distant attitude, completely different from his usual demeanor.
Sure enough, as a member of the Hayden family, his coldness inside was undeniable.
“Ethan won’t hurt you.”
“But he really crossed my bottom line!”
Kylie slammed the door shut.
Leopold pressed his lips.
He could naturally feel Kylie’s anger.
He could not even guarantee that Ethan’s actions this time would be forgiven by Kylie.
Kylie’s heart was burning with anger. She kept telling herself to calm down.
She thought about how to leave..
She could not let Ethan do whatever he wanted to her.
No one could!
She narrowed her eyes and called Gideon.
“What time will you arrive? I’ll pick you up,” Gideon said bluntly.
“I was stopped by someone. I can’t be there.”
It was obvious Gideon was stunned for a moment before asking, “Ethan?”
“Yes.”
“Do you
“Yes.”

my help?”
“I’ll be right there,” Gideon replied without hesitation.
“Okay.”
Kylie hung up.
Her only hope was Gideon.

At noon, Kylie opened the door.

Outside the door, Leopold was still standing there. The bodyguards were still respectful.
“Come in Kylie said to Leopold.
Leopold looked at her.
“For lunch.
“Okay” Leopold did not refuse.
Leopold walked into Kylie’s house.
“I can only make pasta; I don’t know how to cook anything else. Do you want to eat?” Kylie asked.
“Thank you.”
Kylie went to the kitchen and made two bowls of pasta.
The two of them sat at the same table and ate very elegantly.
“You left Hayden family?” Kylie asked casually.
“Yeah.”
“Since it’s impossible, there’s no need to leave.”
“Let nature take its course,” Leopold said calmly.
He had a feeling that he had seen through the mortal world.
It was as if it didn’t matter to him whether he lived well or how he lived.
“Zola is doing well these days,” Kylie volunteered. “She has learned how to cook and even invited me and Quintina to her place for a meal, saying she wants us to taste her cooking.”
“Hmm,” Leopold replied.
“She and Joel are quite good,” Kylie added.
“I won’t bother them,” Leopold promised.
“I just wanted to tell you that she can let it go, and so can you.”
Leopold looked up at Kylie.
“Don’t walk into a dead end.”
“Don’t you hate me?” Leopold was surprised. “I’m here to stop you today.”
“I don’t,” Kylie said firmly. “The only one I hate is Ethan.”

“He…”
“He was forced to do this,” Kylie interrupted Leopold. “I’ve heard too much.”
Leopold smiled faintly.
There was nothing he could say.
