Chapter 45 A Collaboration With Ethan

• Ethan only let out a nonchalant smile as he threw me a glance. He then began to talk about something I hadn't expected to hear from him. "You were with Emil for about two years after you graduated from university. Even a dog would be attached after spending two years with its owner. Even though he and you had a child that, unfortunately, passed away, he was willing to throw you aside to marry into a rich family. Not only that, he even turns a blind eye to his wife's schemes against you. Are you going to let that slide, Miss Lovelace?"
• I was immediately on my guard after hearing his words. As I glared at him cautiously, I asked in a low voice, "You ran a background check on me?"
• He didn't even try to deny as his eyebrows shot up while he nodded. "It is only natural for me, the boss, to inspect any collateral that is brought to Ivory Grove. Things could get messy if I am not thorough with it. I had to pay extra attention to you, Miss Lovelace. It would have been bad if I didn't get the job done after receiving such a hefty sum from the person who ordered to have you dealt with."
