Chapter 750 Does Steven Love Betty?

Sunshine Restaurant.

Steven, dressed in a suit and wearing glasses, looked like a refined scoundrel.

"Mr. Douglas." Seeing Ethan arrive, Steven stood up with a smile and extended his hand.

"I heard Mr. Hughes was back, and I thought it was just a rumor." Ethan smiled and sat down across from Steven. "What happened before?"

"I thought I was dead too. Back then, I was engulfed by flames because of protecting my wife and almost died." Steven had burn scars on the back of his hand.

Ethan had them too.

Steven's gaze fell on Ethan's neck, which was covered by a black turtleneck, and he smiled. "Mr. Douglas, aren't we kindred spirits?"

"It took me a year to get out of danger completely, and then a few more years to slowly recover, regain my physical abilities, I try to train and strengthen myself, and gradually reclaim what was mine. Only when I was fully capable of protecting my loved ones did I dare to come back." Steven said meaningfully, looking out the window.

"Mr. Hughes, the loved one you're talking about isn't Betty, is it?" Ethan didn't want to beat around the bush with Steven. "I heard Mr. Hughes has a loved one by your side. Even if she made some mistakes, it doesn't mean you don't love her, right?"

Steven looked at Ethan meaningfully and smiled. "My loved one? Is she even worthy?"

"Betty said you married her just as a cover to protect the one you truly love." Ethan said calmly. "Since there's no affection, why not exit this marriage under the premise of maximizing Mr. Hughes' interests? I think whether it's the Raymond Group, the Willer Group, or even the Cunningham family, they can all ensure Mr. Hughes' business interests and cooperation."

Ethan had shown enough sincerity.

This was essentially showing Steven that as long as he was willing to give up Betty, take what belonged to the Hughes family, and stop interfering in the couple's life, the Raymond Group, the Cunningham family, and the Willer family would all cooperate with the Hughes family to maximize their interests.

Steven took a sip of his drink, smiling somewhat bitterly. "Is that what Betty said? That I kept someone by my side and used her as a tool?"

"Isn't that the case?" Ethan frowned.

"I thought she understood me well enough. People like us, who put interests first, how could we leave vulnerabilities so openly by our side? When I married her I have vulnerabilities." Steven lowered his eyes and spoke again. "Mr. Douglas, thank you for your kindness. Betty is my wife, the person I fought to see even after escaping from the death."

"She was the only hope that kept me alive, that helped me endure the pain. I can give up everything, even die, but I can't live without her." Steven looked at Ethan, trying to empathize with him. "I heard Mr. Douglas and your wife have also been through a lot together. You should understand how I feel. After all the torment I went through, I just wanted to solve all the problems and come back to see her, only to hear that she got married and had a child. Can you understand how much that hurt me? She didn't wait for me."

"If it were you, Mr. Douglas, what would you choose?" Steven threw the question back to Ethan.
