Ethan’s Vengeance of Love

Why is she so different from others?
Alice’s light smile faded as she looked at Ethan. “Mr. Knight, are we still talking?” she asked, unsure what was going through his
mind.
I would probably pass out from anger if we kept talking. The nerve of her to say that I am infuriating to deal with. The same goes
for her, too, Ethan thought.
He had been silent all along, and Alice took that as a cue to return to her room. “Since you have nothing to talk about, I will go
back to my room and sleep,” she said, preparing to leave.
As she reached out to open Caroline’s room door, Ethan stopped her. “Isn’t it time to go back to your room to sleep? Is this your
room?” he asked, blocking her from opening the door.
This was obviously Caroline’s room, not her room.
They were married and had a marriage certificate, so they should be sleeping in the same room.
“This is Caroline’s room. Mrs. Knight arranged my room across from here to take care of Caroline. However, she hasn’t fully
adapted in these few days and needs me to accompany her,” Alice explained truthfully, not knowing what Ethan was thinking.
However, Ethan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. Wait, the room across from here? That’s supposed to be the guest room, isn’t it?
How could that be her room?
“Let me remind you that we are married and have a marriage certificate. As the Young Madam of the Knight Family, you should
sleep in the master bedroom,” he said firmly. He felt that he had already made his statement very clear.
Alice looked at him with surprise and disbelief. “If I sleep in the master bedroom, where will you sleep? I’m just here to
accompany Caroline, and it’s not appropriate for me to take your room,” she countered, clearly indicating her confusion and
hesitation.
Ethan was at a loss for words. Didn’t I just make it clear that we should sleep in the master bedroom together as a married
couple? What does she mean by saying that she’s here to accompany Caroline? She’s my wife now! Shouldn’t she be
accompanying me instead?

“It’s getting late, and you must be tired from your trip. Let’s not discuss this further tonight. Remember that you promised to keep
Caroline company tomorrow.” Alice felt that it was not appropriate for her and Ethan to discuss these issues here in the middle of
the night.
“By the way, since you’ll be here to keep Caroline company tomorrow, I think it’s best if I give you both some space. I’ll go out
and avoid being in the way.” She tried to explain her intention clearly as being mindful of the agreement she had signed with
Britney, which stated that she couldn’t use Caroline as an excuse to intentionally interact with Ethan, as that was what he had
wanted.
Since Ethan would be at home tomorrow to accompany Caroline, Alice would go out and avoid them both to spare herself the
unnecessary misunderstanding.
Ethan, who was usually calm and composed, widened his eyes in surprise and looked at her. What did she mean by saying that
if I accompanied Caroline tomorrow, she would head out to avoid being in the way?
What does she mean by that?
However, Alice didn’t say anything else. She didn’t give him a chance to inquire further, either. She just pushed the door open
and walked in, then without hesitation, she closed the door and left him outside once again.
Ethan stood there, looking at the closed door without moving as if he hadn’t snapped back to his senses yet.
His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of his phone ringing, and it brought him back to reality. He quickly fished his phone
out of his pocket and answered the call.
“Boss, are you coming back? Do you want to come out and sit for a while?” It was Chris who called.
“Okay,” Ethan replied as he felt like he needed to take a break.
When he arrived, Derek and Chris were already there. Although they had arranged to meet for drinks, they didn’t plan to get
wasted.
Ethan sat down silently without ordering any drinks or speaking. Although he was typically reserved, he seemed particularly quiet
today.
Derek noticed and approached him with a glass of wine, asking, “Is everything okay? Are you not feeling well?”

Ethan didn’t respond, but Chris chimed in, “Well, he did marry someone like Alice. It’s not surprising if he’s not in the best mood.”
Ethan suddenly looked up at the people in front of him and declared, “I’m cold, stubborn, and sarcastic...”
Everyone in the room looked at him with confusion, wondering what caused their boss’ unusual behavior. What’s wrong with
Boss today? Is he having a self-criticism session?
“Boss, you’re usually cold, but that remark about you being sarcastic doesn’t fit at all. You hardly ever speak, so whom would you
be sarcastic with? It would be a miracle if anyone could provoke you to unleash sarcasm on them.” Chris chuckled. If their boss
were to use sarcasm, it would be a joke.
Bradley, who had accompanied Ethan, pursed his lips slightly. It seemed that there was indeed someone who could make Ethan
sarcastic—it was none other than Alice, the current Young Madam of the Knight Family.
The conversation between Ethan and Alice was quite frustrating, and it was clear that she was angry with him that day.
“Boss, is something bothering you? Do you feel uncomfortable and trapped in your marriage?” Chris believed his usually
composed and wise boss must have been aggravated by someone for him to utter those words. Alice must have triggered him.
“Boss, just ignore her. Pretend she doesn’t exist, and don’t allow her to take advantage of you.” Chris considered himself
experienced in dealing with women.
Ethan turned his gaze toward Chris and gave him a sweeping glance. Ignore her? Pretend she doesn’t exist? He felt that doing
so would only please her more.
Bradley remembered that when Ethan returned home, he was still in a good mood, but after visiting the Knight Residence, he
became depressed.
Who in the Knight Family could have made him so upset? Certainly no one.
However, Bradley could think of one person capable of doing so—Alice, who had been confrontational with Ethan since their first
meeting. Is it possible that she’s the one who makes him upset?
When he heard of Chris’ evaluation of Alice, Bradley felt it was necessary to defend her. “Young Madam Knight is quite naive and
lovely. She’s someone easy to get along with, too,” he said.

Ethan suddenly turned his gaze toward Bradley. The look in his eyes was as cold as ice. Bradley was so scared that he trembled
and almost collapsed onto his knees. To have garnered such a reaction from Ethan had only proved that Bradley’s previous
assumption had been correct.
“It’s cute to be naive when you’re a kid, but it’s not the same for a grown-up. That’s why it’s not about her being naive, but rather,
it’s about her acting foolishly. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have handed over the Woland Group to the Yeager Family,” said Chris as
he instinctively refuted Bradley’s statement, not noticing Ethan’s subtle, odd behavior.
Ethan’s eyes flickered slightly. Is she stupid? Not at all. In fact, she is quite formidable when she argues with me.
“Wasn’t it said that she handed over the Woland Group to the Yeager Family because she was too in love with Bruce?” Irvin
recalled the rumors he had heard online and chimed in subconsciously.
Everyone knew that Ethan had married Alice for Caroline’s sake and would never fall in love with Alice, so Irvin had no qualms
about saying this.
