Obedience No More He's the One I Deserved novel Chapter 176

No doubt about it.

That project was a golden opportunity no matter where it landed. The company had poured everything into trying to secure it. What no one expected was that Ethan himself would be the one in charge.

Now that the deal was signed, backing out was basically impossible.

Not only would the shareholders never approve ...

The penalty fee alone wasn't something he could just cough up.

Austin's hand in his pocket clenched into a fist. He sneered, "You really know how to plan things, Mr. Jackson."

Ethan let out a serious sigh. "It's nothing special. But I was under a lot of pressure to give this project to the Osborne Group. No need to thank me too much, Mr. Osborne. Just don't forget your original intentions."

Dawn was lost and had no idea what kind of secret game they were playing.

Only Austin knew what he was talking about.

Ha ... Don't forget your original intentions.

Ethan glanced at his watch, a lazy smile on his face. "It's getting late. We won't invite you to our house; it's not a good time. You can just check out our new house after we get married.

"Dawn, say goodbye to Uncle Austin."

Dawn found his words a little funny, but she held back her laughter and said, "Goodbye, Uncle Austin."

The handsome man and beautiful woman walked away, looking perfect together.

The man said something, and the woman turned to listen, her face lighting up with a beautiful smile.

Austin stood in the same spot for a long time, not even breathing, until their figures completely disappeared. Then he swore and violently punched a stone statue nearby.

His knuckles were bleeding and scraped, but he didn't feel a thing.

"Married?"

He sneered. "We'll see if you can even get married!"

...

Dawn noticed something was wrong during their conversation. On the way back, she kept sneaking glances at the man beside her, her face practically spelling out, "I want to ask, but I'm not sure if I should."

Ethan laughed. "If you've got something to ask, just ask."

"Oh. Okay."

Dawn answered quickly and without hesitation, "That project you and my uncle were talking about—what is it?"

"It's ... " Ethan suddenly stopped talking. He turned his head and saw the woman's curious face, with wide eyes eager to know. He took a hand off the steering wheel and touched her head. "Do you think you'll understand if I tell you?"

Dawn was speechless.

Probably not.
