Chapter 185

"Rachel, calm down! He's trying to deceive you" George said nervously.

Ethan smiled, "You must have assumed that I still love Rachel. If you think I still love her, why would I try to deceive her?"

George's eyes widened in shock.

He was rattled. Ethan did not just see through his thoughts but was even using it against them, and it was terrifying!

Shaken, Rachel looked at her father and said, "Dad, he's right. We can't let Snow come back! If he's back, Stephen won't even look at me! And it'll be even harder for our family to move to Metropolis!"

George was left speechless. It was over the moment Rachel started siding with Ethan.

At that moment, he realized he had severely underestimated Ethan. In fact, not just him, but everyone else had underestimated Ethan.

Trying to stay composed, George looked at Ethan and asked, "Do you know what is going on in Aqua City right now? The city needs Stephen there!

"Ethan, for the sake of the people, please help Stephen just this once! You've governed Riveria for three years, so you must have worked hard to help Aqua City. You wouldn't want it to go down as well, right?
