Ethan’s Vengeance of Love

“I asked him when he would get the div…” Chris stopped. “Holy… He couldn’t be mad because of that, could he? No way. No way, Derek,” Chris denied it even before anyone could have a say.

“We know Ethan. Alice helped his family out. He might have married her because of Caroline, but he’s not heartless. Yeah, they might get a divorce, but he’ll compensate her. He wouldn’t want us insulting her, so you’d best be careful,” said Derek. He thought a lot before coming to that conclusion.

He tried to meet up with her at Irvin’s place because he recognized her as the woman he met seven years ago through the way she waved her hand. She might have escaped, but he was sure she was the one who came down with Irvin. Even though she was in a man’s attire, her face was perfect and flawless. It was clear there was no scar on her face.
