Chapter 147 Ethan Tells Zelda to Get Out of San Francisco

"Wow, the Browns' daughters sure are a varied lot. We even have a drama queen here," Erin whispered under her breath in mockery.

Richard took a deep breath and walked over to cover Erin's mouth with his hand.

"Less chitchat, Erin, you don't want to stir up more trouble," he warned her quietly.

Erin batted her eyelashes at Richard as she flirtatiously said, "Sweetie, are you worried about me?"

"I..." Richard felt a tingling in his palm; Erin was clearly flirting with him on purpose.

Suddenly, he withdrew his hand and stood behind Erin with a grim expression. "Keep it professional, boss."

"That won't do," Erin leaned into Richard, putting all her weight on him.

If Richard were to step aside at that moment, she would certainly fall.

However, she boldly lay in his arms as if she hadn't been the one to hit Zelda, but rather a mere spectator to the scene.

Richard took a resigned breath and stood straight, helplessly.

Erin tilted her head back and continued to tease Richard, as if this was all just a game to her.

"Ethan, you're more aware of Harper's condition than anyone. No need for me to remind you what you two have been through. Since your father has agreed to the marriage between our families, you should weigh which is more important," Lance admonished Ethan sternly, speaking as an elder.

It was evident he was confident that Ethan would marry his daughter.

"My father's agreement has nothing to do with me," Ethan replied quietly, gently patting Justin's back. "The child is tired, and as an elder, you should know to keep your voice down. It's a matter of upbringing."

"You!" Lance exclaimed angrily. "Howard, look at what your son is doing."
