Chapter 256
“Are you nervous?” Gideon teased.
I just want to know the truth. After all, whether Ethan and Stella can get married or not is related to my safety and my personal interests,” Kylie replied.
She was being honest. She was selfish.
What she was concerned about now was whether she could get Joseph back if something happened to this wedding.
Gideon shrugged and stopped teasing Kylie. “Just now at the wedding, when the priest asked if Ethan was willing to marry Stella, the offer arrested Ethan with an arrest warrant. The reason is that Ethan is suspected of a commercial crime.”
Kylie clenched her fists.
“Do you
know what this means?” Gideon asked Kylie.
“It means that the wedding won’t go on,” Kylie replied.
Gideon smiled. “Kylie, I can’t stand it anymore. Ethan has done so much for you and even sacrificed his reputation to stop this wedding. How can you be so calm?”
“What else can I do? Can I change anything?” Kylie asked. “I don’t even understand. What’s the difference between this and him rejecting the Garner family directly? Either way, his reputation would be ruined.””
“I thought you were smart and could do better than this,” Gideon said with doubt.
Kylie was a little angry and chose to remain silent.
“If Ethan rejected the Garner family directly, would they agree to it easily? Wouldn’t the Garner family threaten the Hayden family? The Hayden family can’t fight with someone with a strong political background. Don’t you understand?”
“But now he has nothing.” Kylie remarked.
“But he can protect the others, Gideon enunciated each word.
Kylie bit her lip.
“Ethan has committed a crime. The Garner family will definitely not let Stella and Ethan have anything to do with each other anymore. This way, Stella and Ethan’s engagement will be off, not because Ethan is unwilling to marry her but becay the Garner family is against the marriage. Ethan even gave them a good reason to break off the engagement. What a face saving gesture.”
“Aren’t you
afraid that the Carner family will play dirty?” Kylie questioned. “Will Stella take revenge because she can’t get Ethan? There’s nothing she can’t do.”
“Maybe she will, but the Garner family won’t play dirty. No matter what, the Garner family is reputable and won’t hit someone when they’re down. Moreover, the Hayden family is useless to them. The Garner family won’t waste their time on them or anyone close to them. At this time, the Garner family needs to find the next target to eliminate Ethan. If Stella comes to take revenge, dealing with her alone is nothing to be afraid of,” Gideon said bluntly.
Kylie was speechless.
She could not tell if Ethan had destroyed his future for her sake or if he had broken the law by accident and been brought to justice.
Kylie couldn’t help but wonder, ‘Didn’t we agree that he would marry Stella? How could there be an accident midway?”
I’ve just asked around. Ethan is currently being held in the local jail in Toville. As anyone who commits commercial crimes. will end up being held in Beliey, he is very likely to be tried in Beliey. Therefore, he should be transferred to Beliey in three
Chapter 256
to five days. Do you want to come to Toville to see him now or wait until he returns to Beliey?” Gideon asked.
‘I need to calm down,” Kylie replied.
“The
I won’t disturb you from calming down.”
With that, he hung up immediately.
Kylie leaned against the sofa and looked at the ceiling above her head, lost in thought.
There were many things that she suddenly could not sort out.
The next day, there was news about Ethan being arrested at the wedding.
In the beginning, all news about the arrest had been blocked. Now that it suddenly appeared online, it could only mean that Ethan had been ditched by the Garner family.
Half an hour after the news came out, the Garner family announced to the public that the engagement between Ethan and Stella had been annulled on the grounds that the Garner family had been honest, thrifty, and upright for over a century and allowing anyone who had commented criminal be part of them would be a disgrace to the family and their ancestors.
This meant that the engagement between Ethan and Stella was officially called off.
As soon as the news came out, countless spectators expressed their opinions.
Some people felt the Garner family was too selfish. If they encountered any difficulties, they would quickly retreat without
caring for the other family’s feelings
Others felt that the Garner family people’s actions were very satisfying. The crime was different from other crimes. Ethan deserved retribution.
JL-
Most people were on the Garner family’s side. After all, the Garner family still had power, but the Hayden family no longer had any say in this.
Five days later.
Gideon sent a message to Kylie saying that Ethan had replied to Beliey and gave her the address of where he was being held
She hesitated but still went there.
The meeting with Ethan went smoothly, which, she thought, was owed to Gideon.
Ethan and Kylie sat facing each other in a suffocating silence.
Kylie suddenly did not know what to say to Ethan. Looking at his haggard appearance, she felt a little sorry for him.
“Is the crime true?” Kylie asked. She wanted to know the truth.
“No,” Ethan answered.
Kylie’s heart skipped a beat. “To break off the engagement?”
“Why?” Kylie was still curious.
“That’s how everyone else can get out of this,” Ethan replied.
“But what about you?” Kylie suppressed her emotions and asked him.
“Do you care?” Ethan suddenly laughed.

He looked tired and haggard, and there was stubble on his face. However, for some reason, he was still handsome when he smiled in such a solitary situation.
Kylie did not answer, thinking that it was useless to talk about this now.
From Gideon, she learned about Ethan’s case. The amount of money involved was as high as 4 billion dollars. It was enough to sentence him to death.
“What’s the difference between this and choosing to marry Stella?” Kylie was still a little angry. She told him word by word, “To me, there’s no difference between you dying and you marrying Stella!”
“Are you afraid that I will die?” Ethan asked her again.
He did not care if she was angry or not.
“No, but I feel sorry for Joseph because he has an extremely irresponsible father. But it doesn’t matter,” Kylie said calmly. “I’ll keep my eyes open next time and try my best to get him a good lather.
“I’m not dead yet, and you’re already planning your next move?” Ethan teased.
“I’m not kidding.
“I won’t die.” Ethan made it clear. “Since the crime is not proven. I won’t die. It’s just that in this way, the Garner family took the initiative to break off the engagement.”
“And then? What will the Garner family do when they find out this is your scheme?” Kylie asked.
“By then, the Garner family will no longer have the ability to take revenge on me.”
Kylie frowned as if she had sensed something..
“It’s good that you know,” Ethan reminded her. Then, he slowly said, “Kylie, as long as I’m still breathing. I won’t let Joseph call another man daddy.”
