Chapter 134 Harper Warns Jasmine to Keep Quiet

The next day, Ethan woke up with a pounding headache.

Propping himself up, Ethan's face was grim as he scanned the empty side of the bed.

What on earth happened last night?

The hangover made Ethan feel rather queasy, so he rubbed his forehead, feeling under the weather.

Six years ago, he had been spiked, and now he couldn't believe he'd fallen into the same trap again.

"Ethan, you're awake." Harper emerged from the bathroom, holding a freshly rinsed towel. "Wipe your face..."

Her voice, tinged with shyness, was hoarse, and her cheeks were flushed intensely.

Ethan gave Harper a frosty glance and spoke icily. "Harper, I didn't pursue the matter from six years ago because too much time had passed. Do you take me for a fool?"

Being played time and again was unforgivable.

"Ethan..." Harper gasped, innocence plastered on her face. "Ethan, I don't know what you mean, it wasn't me, I was just... taking care of you last night."

"Huh, taking care of me? Am I supposed to be responsible for you now?" Ethan scoffed.

Harper looked down, shyly biting her lip. "We... we were supposed to get engaged, and six years ago..."

"Get out." Ethan cut her off, telling her to leave.

Harper paused, panic-stricken, her eyes brimming with tears. "Ethan, believe me..."

His mood was somber; he had no desire to repeat himself.

"Mr. Douglas!" Liam rushed back to the house, his voice sounding urgent.

"Ethan..." Harper was frightened by Ethan's anger, having never seen such a terrifying side to him.

"Harper... please leave now," Liam said, taking a sharp breath and nervously urging Harper to go. "Let's talk about this later."

After seeing Harper out, Liam shut the door tightly and returned trembling. "Mr. Douglas, it's my fault. I didn't properly instruct Jasmine... How do you plan to handle this?"

"If you spot a single cockroach, it indicates there are numerous others present. Start with Vittoria and don't let anyone off the hook!" Ethan got out of bed; his voice cold.
