The subordinate had already noticed earlier that his master had found a new target and had his eye on the little beauty.
"Yes." The subordinate, skilled in such matters, swiftly went to handle it.
"President Barnes~" The secretary tried to cozy up to him.
Walter Barnes thought the overly made-up appearance of the secretary looked vulgar, incomparable to the pure cleanliness of Celeste Linden. Disdainfully, he said, "You don’t need to co to the company tomorrow, and we shouldn’t et again."
What?
The secretary realized she was being cast aside, sent into cold storage. She tried to stir things up, "President Barnes, do you think I haven’t served you well? I can change, I definitely will change."
"Enough, let’s part on good terms." Walter Barnes left with a veiled threat.
...
In the hospital room, Celeste Linden sat on a chair. If nothing unexpected happened, Walter Barnes must have already investigated her situation. Soon, he would find out about her affair with Ethan, his son’s woman.
These things couldn’t be hidden, nor did she want to hide them. She wanted to leave this place, but couldn’t implicate her brother, so she needed to use Walter Barnes.
Just now, she deliberately dropped the business card that Walter Barnes sent, because she knew that only in this way could she provoke Walter Barnes’s challenge. Over the years, he had been with many won. She needed to be different to pique his appetite. The best hunters always appear as the hunted.
Upon finding out about her and Ethan, what choice would Walter Barnes make?
What choice Walter Barnes made was unimportant. What mattered was... what she would do.
She wouldn’t spare either of the father and son. In ancient tis, Dong Zhuo and Lü Bu destroyed each other because of Diao Chan. This ti, she was determined to use beauty to make the father and son turn on each other.
Celeste sat quietly in her chair, picking up a pen and began to draw on the white paper. Gradually, her drawing beca frantic. With a snap, the lead broke.
Celeste closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, a blood-red hue had stained them. Every ti she had intimate relations with Ethan, she felt disgusted. Now, with Walter Barnes, she only felt repulsed. She wanted to stay far away from these people, but she couldn’t!
She had to do things she didn’t want to do. Her fate was pitiable like an ant; if she didn’t fight back fiercely, she would only be trampled and humiliated.
She had been pushed to this point, with no way back.
Celeste cald her emotions, a stronger power filled her heart. This ti, she was not confused, because she knew which path she should take next.
...
On the other hand, Walter Barnes had already obtained all the information about Celeste Linden, and he was shocked, "What, this Celeste Linden is my son’s woman?"
The subordinate quickly replied, "That’s right, boss. Do you rember three years ago at the 1949 club when the young master was stabbed? Celeste Linden is from that Linden sister and brother."
Walter Barnes certainly rembered that years ago Ethan Barnes was stabbed by the Linden siblings. At that ti, the scandalous affair between Ethan and Celeste was suppressed by the Barnes family. He just didn’t know that this pure, clean little beauty was Celeste Linden.
How coincidental, he had taken a liking to his son’s woman.
"Boss, as far as I know, the young master is very fond of this Celeste Linden. Since she’s the young master’s woman, and we know the young master’s temper, why don’t we just let it go? There are plenty of beauties in the world. Why ruin the relationship with your son over a woman?" The subordinate quickly analyzed the pros and cons.
Walter Barnes was actually quite fearful of Ethan. In his eyes, his son was practically a perverse monster. Otherwise, he wouldn’t still be single all these years, nor would he have only one son.
Recalling Ethan’s thods gave Walter Barnes a shiver up his spine. But he couldn’t lose face by letting people know he’s afraid of his son. So he said, righteously, "On one side is a woman, and on the other side is my son. Of course, I choose my son, let’s leave it at that."
"Alright, I will imdiately find a few beauties for you matching Celeste Linden’s standards." The subordinate professionally catered.
Walter Barnes felt very disappointed, unhappy, "No beauty can compare to Celeste Linden. I was quite curious about who dared to stab Ethan, and her fierceness is really impressive."
Saying this, Walter Barnes recalled Celeste Linden’s cold and untamable deanor earlier. He lewdly licked his lips, "No wonder Ethan is so enamored with her, the feeling of taming her on the bed must be..."
Walter Barnes didn’t continue, thinking about his loss of the beautiful woman, he almost wished he had never fathered his son Ethan, that little monster.
...
Celeste Linden waited for three days without hearing any movent from Walter Barnes. This was not surprising, she had anticipated he would choose his son.
Celeste was not in a hurry, there was still ti.
In the afternoon, her phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Ethan Barnes.
He had given her five days of peace, and now, five days later, he appeared again.
He said he wanted to take her to the Western Westria, so it must an he had things to deal with these past few days.
Celeste pressed the button to answer, "Hello."
"I’ve already sent a driver to pick you up, The Mirage Hotel Room 6188, make yourself fragrant and wait for ." Ethan’s voice ca through.
He hadn’t seen her for a few days. This ti, he was straightforward, directly taking her to open a room.
Celeste didn’t speak.
"Celeste, I’ve already given you ti. Over these past five days, you should be mostly recuperated. Tonight, I want you, hmm?"
Celeste’s slender white fingers curled, gripping the phone tightly, but she forced herself to maintain a calm voice, "Okay, but I don’t want to go to the hotel."
"Why not?"
"Going to the hotel makes feel like a cheap whore, let’s go to your place."
Ethan raised an eyebrow, "Fine, co to my villa."
With that, he hung up the phone.
Celeste put down the phone. She took off the oversized hospital gown and put on a white dress.
This was Ethan’s favorite white dress, because that girl also liked to wear white dresses.
If she guessed correctly, Ethan’s mother also liked to wear white dresses. In that photo, his mother was wearing a white dress, so that would also be sothing Walter Barnes liked.
The father and son’s tastes were exactly the sa.
...
Celeste arrived at Ethan Barnes’ private villa. Ethan’s lifestyle was extravagant, and this villa was worth a fortune.
Celeste entered his bedroom. He hadn’t returned ho yet, she was waiting for him.
Half an hour later, two beams of car lights were cast on the lawn outside, and then a maid’s voice sounded, "Young master, you’re back?"
Ethan had returned.
Celeste heard his footsteps, his strong and forceful steps ascended the stairs, coming closer and closer, and then the bedroom door was pushed open.
