Chapter 49 Lauren Collins, How Dare You?

• At the end of the hospital corridor, Ethan’s tall body leaned languidly against the window, a cigarette between his long and slender fingers. At this moment, his long and tapered phoenix eyes were filled with coldness. As he gazed at the warm sun outside the window, his mind suddenly went back to when he first met Lauren.
• The first time he visited Collins Residence and stood in the courtyard, he spotted a young girl from afar, sitting on a banyan tree barefooted with the book ‘Jane Eyre’ in her hands. Even now, he could still remember the girl’s conceited expression when she introduced herself to him. At that time, she said, “I’m the Young Lady of Collins Family, Lauren Collins. Who are you?” He merely flashed her a faint smile and uttered two words—Ethan Parker.
• Later, a girl then came into his life during his youth, and her name was Lauren Collins. Later still, when he competed with Elliot to take over Parker Family, all he thought about was to protect her despite the struggles he was facing. On top of that, he even gave her the only promise he’d ever made in his lifetime when he was a person who never bothered making promises. He declared, “Lauren, wait for me. I’ll marry you when I’ve taken over the Parker Family!”
