After Perla feft Kylie’s office, she called Cohen and drove to Ethan’s hospital.
Perla could not find a chance to get close to Ethan and had been waiting for this day for a long time. Perla was afraid that she would offend him. This time, she took advantage of Ethan’s illness to have a good excuse to meet him.
In the art of seducing men, Perla had always been adept and confident.
Perla knocked on the door and entered.
“Mr. Hayden, nice to meet you.” Perla held a bouquet of lilies and smiled.
Perla looked at the overly handsome man on the bed.
Ethan’s eyes were cold.
“I am Perla Stafford, Kylie’s biological sister,” Perla quickly introduced herself.
“Half–sister, Ethan added.
Perla was a little embarrassed, but she quickly regained her composure. “It’s like this. Kylie is quite busy today, so she specifically asked me to come and see you. Mr. Hayden, regarding the incident where a worker from the Galaxy Group factory injured you, I apologize on behalf of the Galaxy Group. I’m sorry.”
Ethan scrutinized Perla. “You said Kylie asked you to visit me?”
“Don’t be angry. Kylie has just taken over Galaxy Group. She has a lot of things to do, so she really can’t come out.” Perla pretended to defend Kylie.
Since Perla could snatch Sergio from Kylie back then, now she could also snatch Ethan from Kylie.
“Really?” Ethan’s tone was clearly mocking. “If I remember correctly, you snatched Kylie’s fiancé. Are you. sure Kylie will still let you help her?”
Ethan ruthlessly exposes Perla, making the situation extremely awkward.
Perla quickly explained, “It’s not like what you said, Mr. Hayden. You might misunderstand the matters among me, Kylie, and Sergio…
“I have no interest in the matter between you and Sergio,” Ethan interrupted Perla. “I need to rest. Miscellaneous people are not allowed to disturb me during my rest.”
It was an obvious order to leave.
Perla looked troubled. She had deliberately dressed up today. But now, she even felt that Ethan didn’t bother to look at her and just swept her out the door.

“Mr. Hayden, I won’t disturb you anymore. Rest well. Perla suppressed the displeasure in her heart and knew that she could not be radical.
Now, Ethan’s heart was still with Kylie. If Perla went too far, it might actually cause Ethan’s displeasure.
Perla did the same thing to Sergio back then.
Perla suddenly felt fortunate that she had practiced by seducing Sergio before.
“By the way, these are flowers for you. I hope you will like them. Perla smiled shyly and placed a large for bouquet of flowers on Ethan’s bedside table. “By the way, I want to apologize to you. I mistook you someone else because of some misunderstanding. I hope you don’t mind.”
Ethan had yet to speak, and the door was suddenly pushed open.
Kylie stood at the door and looked at the scene in front of her.
“Kylie, you’re here,” Perla said calmly.
However, Perla did not expect Kylie to arrive so quickly.
Logically speaking, Kylie should have a lot of things to deal with today. The launch of the new autumn collection was keeping her extremely busy.
Did Kylie chase after Perla after receiving the news that Perla was here?
It seemed Kylie had become smarter.
“Since you’re here, I won’t disturb you anymore.” Perla smiled calmly and said, “I’ll take my leave first.”
Perla walked past Kylie as if nothing had happened.
“Wait,” Ethan suddenly said.
Kylie’s eyes flickered.
At that moment, her lips tightened.
Perla might not be a top–tier beauty, but she was truly skilled in seducing men.
Perla was both surprised and overjoyed.
She originally thought that Ethan hated her a little, but at this moment, he took the initiative to stop
Perla couldn’t help but glance at Kylie proudly.
Even just a fleeting glance was filled with provocation.
Perla turned around and looked back. Her innocent big eyes blinked, adding a touch of charm. “Mr. Hayden, are you calling me?”

“Take your flowers away. I’m allergic!” Ethan said bluntly.
The air seemed to have fallen silent.
Perla froze on the spot.
“I’m sorry.” Perla immediately put on a pitiful look. Her eyes were filled with tears. “I didn’t know you were allergic to lilies. I’ll be more careful next time.”
“I’m not allergic to lilies. I’m allergic to you.” Ethan enunciated each word with a cold tone. “Be careful not to appear in front of me next time.”
Perla’s face suddenly turned pale.
She couldn’t believe what she was hearing.
Ever since Perla was young, she had never been humiliated by a man like this.
Any man would like a delicate and shy woman like Perla.
It must be because of Kylie.
It must be because Kylie was here that Ethan deliberately said it like that.
Perla held back the breakdown in her heart, took the bouquet of lilies with red eyes, and jogged out of the
ward.
Kylie looked at Perla’s back.
Perla had to admit she felt the pleasure of revenge.
Ever since they were in school, Perla had been surrounded by countless boys.
Kylie really did not understand why all men liked Perla. Didn’t they realize that she was a scheming
woman?
Later, when Perla and Sergio were together, Kylie felt even more furious.
If Sergio had fallen for anyone else, Kylie might not have been so angry, but he chose to be with Perla.
Kylie even wondered if all men in the world could not resist the temptation of Perla.
Until today, Perla met Ethan.
No matter what happened in the future, at least at this moment, Kylie felt very good.
“You’re here,” Ethan called out to Kylie.
Kylie regained her senses.

She walked into the room and sat beside Ethan’s bed. She went straight to the point and said, “Didn’t I say yesterday that I won’t let you suffer a loss this time?”
“And?”
“In the Galaxy Group, most people are now under my father’s watch. I need to win people over and create discord among my father’s connections. So, for now, I can’t bring the main culprits to justice. The key issue is I don’t have concrete evidence to accuse them, and, of course, I don’t want the already vulnerable Galaxy Group to suffer further from this incident. I can only do my best to compensate for your damages with money.
“Money” Ethan raised an eyebrow.
“I know you’re not short of money, but this is the only thing I can do.”
“No, there’s a lot more you can do.”
Kylie pursed her lips.
She was not stupid. Of course, she knew what Ethan meant.
“For example, take care of me until I’m discharged,” Ethan said.
Kylie was slightly surprised.
She looked straight at Ethan.
Clearly, Kylie misunderstood what Ethan had just said about other things she could do.
“What? Are you disappointed, Miss Stafford?” Ethan teased.
The smile on his lips was charming.
Kylie’s heart skipped a beat.
She knew that Ethan was just giving her a way out. He just didn’t want to make things difficult for her.
If Kylie hadn’t experienced so much in the past, even though Ethan’s emotional life was indeed. complicated, perhaps she would have boldly tried, even knowing that there would be no outcome between.
them.
But now, Kylie couldn’t afford to gamble.
Kylie knew very well that if she lost again, she really wouldn’t be able to get up.
“Alright,” Kylie agreed.
Kylie promised to take care of Ethan.
Ethan’s injury was caused by protecting her, so morally and logically, she couldn’t refuse.
