Chapter 139 Mr. Douglas's Attentive Love

"Mr. Douglas..." Outside the hotel, Vittoria arrived to pick them up.

Harper stood by the car, anxiously watching Ethan.

Ethan didn't so much as glance at Harper as he took the laptop from Jasmine's hands and opened the car door for her. "Get in."

Jasmine was flattered and knew Ethan was doing it on purpose, using her as a shield.

But that was her value.

"Ethan... Can we talk, please?" Harper's voice quavered with the threat of tears. "Last night, you had too much to drink, and I was just taking care of you, Ethan... Please, believe me."

Ethan signaled Liam to close the door.

"Harper, how about we talk after the Hawaii project wraps up?" Liam coaxed softly.

Harper stood rooted to the ground; her eyes rimmed with red as she watched Ethan shut the door.

"Harper..." the secretary said, opening the passenger door for her to get in.

Reluctantly, Harper took the passenger seat.

"Thirsty? Drink more water if you're catching a cold," Ethan said to Jasmine, his voice dripping with tenderness.

Liam, sitting beside them, trembled with anxiety.

Ethan was being too obvious. This display was clearly for Harper's benefit.

Harper must have crossed a line with Ethan again last night.

However, there was nothing to be done; Liam hadn't dared tell Ethan that photos of him and Harper entering the same suite at the hotel had been leaked online, now topping the trending list.

The union between the Brown family and the Douglas family was inevitable now.

Even if Ethan wasn't happy, it was out of his hands.

For the sake of both families' reputation, calling off the engagement wasn't an option.

Sighing, Liam stared out the car window, worried that Harper's cleverness might be her downfall.
