Wed to the Billionaire Brother of My Spouse by Doris

Chapter 31 Manners

All these years, no one had spoken a word of justice for her, not even half a sentence.

No matter how hard she fought, how loudly she screamed, how fiercely she resisted, it was futile; no one would hear her.

She felt as if she were a trodden, withered flower in the mud, drained of all strength to struggle.

But Ethan's words somehow managed to stir her long-stilled heart with a miraculous flutter.

"Bro-no, that's not right. She hadn't teamed up with May yet; it was later that she conspired with May, aiming to swindle my family's money," Serena stammered nervously under Ethan's intense gaze.

Ethan had an overwhelming presence.

Ignoring Serena, Ethan walked straight up to Jasmine. "Auntie Geena's not around. I had her fetch me a glass of water. Any problem with that?"

Daniel looked at Ethan in astonishment. His words were fine, but the fact that Ethan was speaking up for Jasmine was not.

This was completely out of character for Ethan.

Why would he defend a woman, especially someone like Jasmine?

Daniel's jealousy only deepened.

"As a man, you hit a woman. That's really something, Daniel," Ethan said coldly, his anger flaring at the sight of the handprints stark on Jasmine's pale face.

Daniel clenched his fists, unwilling to admit he had struck Jasmine.

With a stern face and a voice like a brewing storm, Ethan commanded, "Apologize!" Daniel stared at Ethan in shock, wondering why he should apologize...
