Chapter 175 Ethan Makes His Move on the Brown Family!

Harper was in a state of complete panic.

Once Ethan made his move, it was as if the Brown family had been utterly decimated.

He had clearly promised that if the Brown family publicly acknowledged Zelda's wrongdoing, he would let them off the hook.

With trembling fingers, Harper called Ethan, "Ethan... why would you do this?"

Ethan actually did Harper the courtesy of picking up her call.

"You had promised me that if the Brown family acknowledged Zelda's mistake, you'd forgive us," Harper questioned through tears. "Why are you doing this to me? What did I do wrong?"

Ethan, ever the gentleman, waited for Harper to finish crying before he spoke, "It's not me you need to worry about, it's the victims who aren't forgiving you."

"Ethan..." Harper cried out uncontrollably. "Why must you treat me this way?"

"Harper, you're a smart woman. I've left a way out for the Brown family. Zelda needs to disappear from San Francisco for good, never to return. If the Brown family keeps a low profile from now on, I might spare you a lifeline," Ethan replied, knowing well that it was not wise to push someone into a corner.

After all, it wasn't the Brown family that Ethan was concerned about-it was Howard.

The Brown family must have had some dirt on Howard. Otherwise, Howard wouldn't be so invested in the Brown family's affairs.

In the short thirty minutes it took for him to return to the office, Ethan had already received thirty calls from Howard.

An average of one call per minute.

How interesting... the old man Howard was getting desperate.

They truly were a syndicate, where pulling one thread affected the whole.

Harper took a sharp breath, not daring to burn bridges with Ethan just yet. "Ethan, my feelings for you are real, regardless of what happened between us six years ago, I truly wasn't scheming against you."

Ethan didn't give Harper a chance to explain or express any desire to hear her out and hung up the call abruptly.

Harper wanted to say more, but the line was already dead.

With a deep-seated hatred coursing through her veins, Harper clenched her fists tighter, taking another deep breath.
