Chapter 162 Ethan’s Double Standard of Doting on His Wife

Upon returning home, Ethan switched off his phone.

No matter how frantically Howard called, Ethan's strategy was to play deaf.

Out of sight, out of mind.

"Mr. Ethan..." Jasmine hesitated.

"It's after hours." Ethan pointed to his wristwatch.

With her head bowed, Jasmine mustered her courage to speak. "Ethan, have you thought about a backup plan?"

"Any bright ideas?" Ethan asked with a smile.

"You need to think of an exit strategy and prepare for the worst-case scenario. If Howard panics and transfers the shares that rightly belong to you to Daniel..." Jasmine wanted him to be ready for the worst.

"Stellar Enterprises is what it is today because of me," Ethan replied with confidence.

If Howard doubted that, he could test the waters.

"As for a backup plan..." Ethan fell silent for a long moment before speaking again. "I promised to protect you, and I won't let you fall back into the mire."

He always kept his promises to Jasmine.

His rose had to bloom again, and he had the capital and the ability to make it happen. Shaking her head, Jasmine said she wasn't worried about herself.

Noticing Ethan's reluctance to speak, she guessed that he must have his own exit strategy; it just wasn't the right time to divulge it.

"Should I make pork ribs?" Jasmine asked softly.

"I'm not picky." Ethan removed his watch and loosened his tie before heading to the study room to watch Justin study.

Jasmine paused, nonplussed.

'Not picky? Hadn't Liam spent the whole day explaining how finicky Mr. Ethan was about food? Why is he not fussy all of a sudden?'
