Chapter 136
Ethan’s Vengeance of Love
Then, Alice glanced at him before suddenly asking, âIs my father your biological son?â
All that she said just now was the truth and she would do anything to realize what she had
declared earlier.
Of course, she would typically take action straight away. She wasnât one to waste her time on
chit-chat. But she talked to Charles just to irk him, so that she could ask him that question
when he least expected it.
Alice had her suspicions previously and hoped that she was just overthinking it. However, now
that Charles set up such a huge plan to destroy her, she couldnât help but doubt him.
If Lucas was Charlesâ biological son, she would be the last of his bloodline.
So, even if Charles picked a side, logically speaking, he wouldnât go as far as to want her life.
He would most probably not help her. Still, it was proven that he wanted her dead.
Charles was stunned for a moment and diverted his gaze quickly as something flashed across
his eyes. Even though it was quick, Alice still caught it.
âWhat are you talking about? Of course, Lucas is my biological son.â Charles retorted just after
a second.
However, that delayed response gave Alice the answer she wanted.
So, it seemed that her previous suspicion was right. Lucas might not be Charlesâ biological son.
That was why the Wolands would go after her time and time again. That was why they would do
everything to see her dead.
Then, she recalled the car accident from seven years ago. Before this, she always thought that Elijah
and the Yeagers were the ones to kill her parents.
Yet, from the recent revelation, it seemed that Charles had a hand in it too, and maybe he was the
mastermind behind their death.
As the only child left behind, she was sure to avenge this blood feud.
Even though she still needed a final confirmation, her familial love for the Wolands was no more. She
didnât want to waste her breath on Charles.
âEthan, youâre finally here!â Irvin exclaimed as he rushed over to Ethan when he saw him appear in the
hallway outside the lounge. âWhere did you go?â
âWhatâs wrong?â Ethan was answering Calebâs phone call about the DNA test, so he went somewhere
secluded earlier.
He heard Emmaâs shout earlier but paid no attention to it as per his usual aloof persona. But he
realized something was off when he returned to the banquet hall.
âEthan, Alice was so cool just now! Itâs too bad you werenât here and didnât get to see it.â Irvin was still
engrossed in his amazement of her, but he didnât forget to lower his voice, so only Ethan heard him.
Ethan was a little taken aback. I just went to answer a phone call. What did I miss? What did she do to
make Irvin so worked up? And so impressed?
Ethan could see the admiration in Irvinâs eyes for Alice. It was purely because of what she did and
wasnât due to her being his wife.
Irvinâs heart was beating quickly and didnât even wait for Ethan to ask as he went on and on, âAliceâs
aura was so astonishing. It made me think of a sentence. Be it demons or gods, whoever stands in her
way will be slain.â
âWhat happened?â Ethanâs expression changed drastically as he knew Alice pretty well. She wasnât the
type to react if no one provoked her.
The only reason she joined Charlesâ birthday celebration was because he was family. So, she would
never create a scene unless they did something to cross her.
Then, Ethan recalled Charlesâ attitude toward her back in the hall. His eyes immediately darkened as
he guessed that Charles had something to do with this.
âJust now someone was accusing Alice of murder and Elijah said heâll call the police on her. Then,
Alice merely stared them down and scared the Wolands to death.â Irvin didnât know about the Wolandsâ
internal affairs and recounted what happened just now.
However, Ethanâs eyes instantly turned sharp and icy as if they would freeze anything in sight.
The person who accused her of murder was definitely someone from the Woland Family and Charles
definitely had a hand in this. Otherwise, Alice wouldnât react that way. Old Mr. Woland. The Woland
Family. Youâve done it this time!
At that moment, the door to the lounge was pushed open from the inside and Alice walked out.
Right now, she wasnât as cold as before and looked very calm and as tranquil. Her eyes were
like a lake without ripples.
Ethan wanted to go up to her, but his footsteps faltered. His heart trembled slightly as he
realized she looked different than he knew her to be.
He felt his heart pang as he wondered what she had gone through in those few minutes. He
wasnât there for her when she needed him most.
When Elijah saw that Alice finally appeared, he immediately shouted, âAlice! Even though
Ashleyâs not dead, you still hurt her. Youâve committed a crime. The police are here to do what
needs to be done.â
Elijah stepped forward with the police who arrived quickly. It seemed that Elijah had called the
police beforehand.
âEthan, itâs not looking good for Alice. The victim accused her directly and the weapon had her
fingerprints on them. It was the knife Alice used to cut the cake. I asked the hotel and they
found that all the footage of the second floor was wiped off. We have no way to prove her
innocence,â Irvin finally regained his composure and quickly reported what had happened
earlier to Ethan with a solemn face.
Ethan listened to him as the corner of his lips curved up slightly. No way to prove her
innocence? With me here, thereâs nothing I canât do. They better be prepared to face the
consequences of bullying my woman.
âAlice, itâs not the end when youâve made a mistake as long as you are willing to repent. Listen
to the police and accept your mistake,â Charlesâ saddened deep voice traveled from the lounge.
Yet, Alice merely graced them with an indifferent smile. Now, she didnât even want to bother
wasting any emotion on the Wolands.
Charles thought he was the winner and that she would go to jail, but she would show him what
she was made of and that the truth would always prevail.
