Chapter 97: Clear Out All the Barriers
Kristen held the script tightly in her hand and could not help shrugging her shoulders. However, a faint smile inadvertently appeared on the corners of her mouth.
“Then it’s settled. You can help me with the follow-up negotiations.”
However, Anna smiled, “I don’t need to talk to him. Mr. Wharton said that as long as you choose this script, you can get the contract and sign it tomorrow.”
Kristen raised an eyebrow: Was that even possible?
“Okay, then let’s sign the contract.”
As a result, the next episode of Kristen’s film was set with a realistic script full of positive energy.
…
At this moment, Ethan was about to go out, but he felt a dull pain in his chest again. He hurriedly took out a pill and forced himself to take it. After a while, he felt much better.
Jacob couldn’t stand it anymore. “Mr. Wharton, why are you doing this? You’re in poor health but still care about Miss Kristen daily.”
Ethan raised his eyes inadvertently and said calmly, “I want to do something for her in my remaining time. It will be enough if I have to stay by her side silently and leave her with some beautiful memories.”
“But…” Jacob wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. In the end, he said, “But your health is the most important thing.”
Ethan smiled faintly and said, “It doesn’t matter.”
These two simple words expressed his feelings. Jacob knew Ethan very well. Once he had decided, he would not easily change it.
“How has the Collins family been recent?”
Jacob immediately replied, “Mr. Wharton, don’t worry. The Collins Group will go bankrupt in two days.”
Ethan nodded. His present situation was mainly because of the Collins family. Since there was no way for him to survive, he had to get rid of all obstacles.
“Okay, you did a good job.”
Jacob did not say anything. He just made a “please” gesture, and Ethan strode away. The driver had already driven over when Ethan came out of his house. Ethan was about to get in the car when a figure rushed over.
“Mr. Wharton, I’ve been waiting for you.”
Taylor grabbed Ethan’s arm. Her eyes were surprised, but Ethan looked at her with disdain and withdrew his hand coldly. “Miss Davis, please conduct yourself with dignity.”
However, Taylor was unwilling to give up.
She had waited here for so long to see Ethan. She wanted to tell him the truth.
“Mr. Wharton, I have something to tell you today.”
As Taylor spoke, she took out some screenshots of the news printed from her pocket. “These are all news clips of Kristen. Kristen is a fickle woman. When she played games in the past, she often hooked up with others with her ID ‘Queenie.’ This ‘Woof Aloof’ is her lover. Mr. Wharton, I want to tell you, don’t be fooled by Kristen. She’s not a good person. She’s not as sincere to you as I am to you.”
Ethan didn’t want to argue with her, but her words sank into his eyes.
“What did you say?”
Taylor thought that Ethan had taken her advice, and joy appeared on her face.
“I mean Kristen, that bitch…”
“Enough.” Ethan interrupted her. “Shut up!”
Ethan’s words were full of threats. Now it was Taylor’s turn to be surprised. Even in this situation, did Ethan still choose to believe Kristen?
Even if Kristen was flirting outside, Ethan still trusted her completely?
“Mr. Wharton…”
“Shut up. I think your mouth shall be washed.”
Taylor shook her head and hurriedly explained, “Mr. Wharton, that’s not what I mean. I’m afraid Kristen’ll deceive you, so I can’t wait to tell you the truth. You’ve also seen the news on the Internet. Not only me, but all netizens know about it. You can check it out online.”
Ethan looked at her coldly and then said, “What do you think the name of the man Kristen hooked up with is? ‘Woof Aloof’?”
Taylor nodded.
However, when she heard the next sentence, she was stunned on the spot.
“I’m that ‘Woof Aloof.’ Understand?”
Taylor stared in shock at Ethan and unconsciously blurted out, “What did you say?”
“I say, ‘Woof Aloof’ is me. Any questions?”
Taylor’s legs turned to jelly: Was Ethan ‘Woof Aloof’?NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
“No, that’s impossible.” Taylor tried her best to deny it. She wasn’t willing to believe this fact.
But Ethan didn’t have time to explain it to her, nor did he care to. He said, “Miss Davis, I think I’ve said some things many times, but you seem very persistent. You can’t listen to me at all.”
“I have shown mercy to the Davis Family because of Jason Davis’s kindness to Kristen. Otherwise, the Davis Family would have ceased to exist long ago. But if you continue to target Kristen and do something to her, then I won’t hesitate. No one can bully my woman.”
Taylor opened her mouth, but no words came out.
Ethan ignored her. He got into the car, closed the door, and swaggered off.
In the car, Jacob seemed to find Ethan in a bad mood. “Mr. Wharton, the Davis Family is just an empty shell now. It has been struggling to hold on and can’t withstand any torture. Why don’t…”
Jacob stopped when appropriate.
Jacob knew that Ethan was worried about the friendship between Jason and Kristen.
“Forget it! As long as Taylor doesn’t do anything excessive, I won’t hold it against her for now.”
“Yes, Mr. Wharton. Shall we go to the office now?”
Ethan agreed and said, “Right, I can pick Kristen up from work.”
Jacob was speechless. He felt as if he had been somewhat shocked by the sweet couple.
Kristen was reading the script for the suitable material when the phone in her pocket rang. She quickly glanced at it and saw it was a call from Mr. Old Oliver. Kristen looked up and only picked up the phone when she saw that Anna was not around.
“Grandpa!”
Mr. Old Oliver’s hearty laughter came from the other side of the phone. “Sweetheart, why did you take so long to answer the phone?”
Kristen explained, “I was reading the script just now. Grandpa, why are you calling me?”
“You ungrateful girl. Why don’t you call grandpa? Why do you ask me to contact you?”
Kristen said with embarrassment, “Grandpa, I’m busy with work. I’ve been busy with publicity for the first episode of my new show.”
“Mm, I understand. I have already watched your show. You are a girl, but you are playing the role of a boy. You are quite the character. Not bad at all.”
This was the first time Mr. Old Oliver had praised Kristen Oliver.
