Chapter 89
“Hale.”
Dhel’s words were abruptly interrupted by a voice.
Cathy ran down from the car and held Hale’s hand in front of Ethel, saying, “I suddenly feel a little sick and tired, I want to go
home.
She pursed her lips, speaking softly.
Her eyes looked at Hale, seemingly trying to hide her emotions but still showing a pitiful look.
The goddess image was already eye–catching and now with her restrained emotions, it was even more captivating. Even an iron–hearted person would feel sorry for her after witnessing her pitiful defeat against Ethel
Standing on the side, Ethel clearly saw how Hale’s cold face softened in a magical way. His gaze appeared to have been filtered, and all sharpness was gone, replaced by gentle ripples.
“Alright.” he complied, tilting his head slightly.
The word “alright” sounded tender and sweet to Ethel’s ears. She once again realized the difference between love and not loving someone.
Fortunately, she had long realized the reality and withdrew her love for him. Otherwise, she would have been tormented today.
The words she had wanted to say suddenly seemed unnecessary.
She smiled lightly, turned around, and left.
Fredrica hadn’t returned yet, so Ethel decided to wait in the car.
Cathy took the opportunity while Hale went to get the car and hurriedly ran to the front of Ethel’s car.
With both hands pressed against the car door, the beautiful goddess’s face showed clear signs of nervousness. “Ethel, you better not badmouth me to Halel
“Or else?” Ethel turned her head to look at her with a faint smile, a smile that seemed like a half–smile.
Her tone sounded provocative, and the half–smile in her expression felt like silent mockery to Cathy!
She was mocking her for having the courage to do it but not the courage to admit it!
Cathy clenched her fingers silently, feeling as if there was a thorn piercing her heart, causing a sharp and painful sensation.
Her face changed like a color palette in front of Ethel, looking like a complete clown.
“You already have the boss of Starlight Media, so why bother seeking my discomfort? There’s a saying: old enemies should resolve their differences, not deepen them. If you make me uncomfortable, I can make you feel just as uncomfortable with the boss of Starlight Medial Cathy bit her lip, unable to maintain her goddess image anymore.
Ethel’s expression remained unchanged, and she casually replied, “Mhun.”

As for going to find the boss of Starlight Media, that depended on whether she had the ability to find him.
Cathy waited for a while, but Ethel didn’t say anything else.
Realizing that she had been played, Cathy became angry and embarrassed. Her clenched fist almost turned into a slap on Ethel’s facel
“Don’t worry, I don’t have the habit of meddling in my ex–husband’s business and playing the matchmaker,” Ethel finally spoke after a long while.
After speaking, she stepped on the gas, starting the car with a swish.
The car kicked up dirt and sand, splashing Cathy all over.
Cathy: “…”
She should have been relieved that Ethel let her off, but her expression became even uglier.
Her cheeks twitched continuously, contorted!
All of Ethel’s actions and words just now were f
filled with two words: disdain, scorn!
She didn’t directly expose her, yet she still managed to make her feel embarrassed and humiliated!
Under her sleeve, she didn’t know how many nails she had broken.
Ethel and Fredrica returned to their home very late.
They were planning to leave the next day.
When they reached the door, they saw a car parked there. The darkness made it hard to distinguish the car’s color, but the person leaning against it was eye–catching.
The person had a tall and elegant figure, exuding a sense of refined demeanor.
The hair was tied up at the back of the head, with a few strands falling on the forehead, giving off a strong antique vibe.
Fredrica had better vision than Ethel and recognized him first, couldn’t help but exclaim, “Oh, isn’t this William? Shooting a historical drama at this late hour?”
William raised his head and smiled at Fredrica and Ethel.
He belonged to the gentle type, and with a smile, he revealed two dimples, looking quite charming.
His appearance and posture were undoubtedly like the leading actor in a historical drama.
And also a warm male lead.
“I’m waiting for Miss Olsen,” he said softly, with a voice as gentle as a spring breeze.
Fredrica knew about his relationship with Hale and had no good feelings toward anyone around Hale. Hearing that he was looking for Ethel, she coldly sneered, “What? Did my friend offend your father or your mother? Is that why you’re guarding the door at this late hour?”
William:
Ethel pulled Fredrica gently and looked apologetically at William. “Sorry, my friend is very straightforward and overprotective, but she means no harm. William, please don’t take offense.”
William knew Fredrica, shook his head, and said, “No worries, I won’t.”
He also knew that Fredrica’s anger was probably due to his relationship with Hale. He could only sigh helplessly in his heart.
“William, is there something urgent for you to find me so late?” Ethel asked.
William nodded, “I mainly came to discuss the itinerary for Silvaria with you. Mr. Jack Anderson has returned to Silvaria.”
Ethel had previously promised to help him act as an intermediary and persuade Mr. Jack Anderson. However, Mr. Anderson had been traveling all over the world, making it difficult to track him down. As a result, this matter had not been implemented.
“Now that Mr. Anderson has returned, let’s do it tomorrow,” Ethel readily agreed.
“Great,” William said with delight. “I’ll book a flight ticket right away.”
Ethel didn’t bother with formalities about the plane ticket and nodded her chin. “It’s too late now; there’s no need for William to stay for tea.”
William glanced at Fredrica, who was staring at him as if he were an enemy. He thought to himself, Even if you ask me to stay, I don’t have the courage.
“Ethel, why did you promise William to persuade Mr. Anderson?” Once William left, Fredrica immediately expressed her dissatisfaction. “Did you forget about the relationship between William and that scum Hale?”
Ethel gently patted her shoulder. “Yes, William is Hale’s friend, but he saved me.”
She briefly explained what had happened.
u never mentioned this to me!” Fredrica’s voice was filled with
“What? You went through something so significant, and you
anger.
Before she could continue, Fredrica exploded.
Fredrica knew about Ethel almost freezing to death in the snow, but she had no idea about Ethel’s difficult childbirth. Hearing her mention it now, she was furious.
“Ethel, do you even consider me a friend? You… really infuriate mel” She was so angry that she wanted to end her friendship with Ethel on the spot.

Ethel held her back. “You were also in a difficult situation at the time, and besides, we were so f made a difference if I told you.”
Her words made Fredrica suddenly fall silent.
“That situation” was the most painful memory for her.
“I’m sorry.” Ethel realized she had misspoken and quickly apologized.
“Sorry for what?” Fredrica quickly regained her composure, but her eyes were red. “You’ve done so much for that scumbag Hale, and the result… It’s really not worth it
“In this world, some things can’t be measured by worth. Don’t you remember? I said as long as I do everything within my ability and with a clear conscience, it’s enough.”
Although Fredrica had accepted that notion before, when it came to human life, it seemed like nonsense.
“It’s fortunate that both you and Karina are safe in the end,” she sighed softly.
She didn’t say anything more, but she still felt guilty.
She regretted not being by Ethel’s side. If she had been there, Ethel wouldn’t have suffered so much.
“I won’t stop you. Go help William,” she said. “However, after you’re done helping, you two will go your separate ways. There’s no more interaction allowed.”
She didn’t want Ethel to have any contact with people associated with Hale.
“Don’t worry.”
Early the next day, Ethel walked out of the community with a small suitcase.
When she got up, Fredrica was still resting.
Ethel didn’t want to disrupt her
upt her sleep. so she left a brief message on a sticky note.
“Miss Olsen, good morning,” the security guard greeted Ethel warmly as he saw her. “Are you going on a trip?”
Ethel smiled slightly. “Yes.”
Although Ethel was a homeowner, she had always been polite to the security guard.
The security guard liked her, so he always greeted her warmly whenever they met.
“Your car is waiting over there; it just arrived,” the security guard pointed to the car near the entrance.
“My car?” Ethel was briefly taken aback.
After William had booked the flight ticket last night, she had said she would go to the airport on her own. Why did he still
come to pick her up?
Ethel couldn’t help but look over.
What she saw wasn’t the Maserati that William often drove. Instead, it was a Bentley that she was s very familiar with.
Seeing that Bentley, Ethel’s expression changed slightly.
