The Mysterious Wife

Chapter 589 To Be Ethan's Equal Upon seeing the message, Seth frowned slightly. He had almost completely forgotten about this woman already. Julia was the eldest daughter of the Walker family. When Seth came back to Seacisco a month ago, he held a party with his friends. At that party, Julia had asked for his phone number.

Seth was the most outstanding Lester in his generation, and ever since he took over the family business, many young ladies wanted to get close to him. 1 But Seth never gave them the light of day. Moreover, he was married, and if he was ever caught cheating on his wife, the reputation of the Lester family would be affected. 1 However, the Walker family’s wealth and power was growing fast now. After all, they were one of the first enterprises to start implementing e-commerce in their business in Seacisco. Seth reread Julia's text. He knew exactly what was on her mind. Although he didn't hold a grand wedding back then, it was no secret to all that Seth was married.

Even though Julia knew that he was a married man, she still came at him.

Women from the Walker family were really bold and reckless. Unfortunately, Seth and his wife, Tasha Javis, had been married for years. Although he didn't really love her, as they had only gotten married for the sake of their families’ mutual interests, he wasn't interested in having an affair with other women either. All Seth cared about was his work. 3 So, whenever Julia asked him out during the past month, he neither refused nor went. He simply ignored her. That was his way of doing things. However, the Walker family was far-sighted enough to know that e-commerce was the future. Moreover, they were one of the most powerful families in the entire country. In Seth's eyes, their help might come in handy one day. Therefore, he had never rejected Julia with harsh words, lest he offend her and potentially lose the Walker family’s support one day. So Julia's message this time gave Seth an idea. He quickly sent her the address of a restaurant. “I've already booked a table. See you there at six o'clock.” Julia replied seconds later. It seemed that she was waiting for him to text her back. “Okay. see you there.”

Seth put his phone aside and rubbed the spot between his eyebrows. Things were looking up

In a Michelin-starred restaurant, Julia had arrived first. She checked herself out in her compact mirror and frowned. After applying a little more lipstick, she finally smiled in satisfaction. “Sorry to have kept you waiting” Seth arrived in a brown windbreaker over a white shirt and tie and a vest, making him look particularly casual yet put-together. 1 “It's okay. I just arrived, too.” Flustered, Julia blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment. She wondered whether Seth had seen what she was doing just now. With a faint smile, Seth handed the menu to Julia and winked. “Ladies first.” Julia shyly took the menu from him. She was a little surprised that he had showed up. Seth had always been indifferent to her, and he seldom answered her calls or texted her back She had been disappointed for a long time because of this. 1 But now, here they were, in a restaurant together. Seth wasn't in the mood to flirt with her. After all, he was indifferent when it came to women. The only thing that could make him excited was the idea of power and money. And right now, the only thing on his mind was the need to defeat Ethan. As long as he thought about that he had the chance to trample him under his feet, he was trembling with excitement. 2 Since Julia liked him so much, surely she'd be open to the idea of marrying him. If they could join forces, he would have the Walker family’s help and support, which would finally make him a match for Ethan. 2 Seth touched the silver ring on his ring finger absentmindedly. His wife's family used to be a prominent one in the country. However, it was pretty much down and out now. The Javis family failed to keep up with the ever-changing business trends, and in Seth's eyes, they had already lost the game completely. 4 Throughout the course of the meal, Seth was more enthusiastic to Julia than before. 6 Julia was delighted. Soon, she grew bold and started to rub his shin with her foot under the table.
