The Wrong Girl and the Wronged Girl (Stella and Ethan) novel Chapter 105

Chapter 105 Ethan Brings Drama

Ethan froze. Stella was living at Verdant Villa?She actually….

“Are you sure?”

After a long silence, Ethan finally managed to speak. His voice barely sounded like his own; his head buzzed like a hive.

Jason nodded firmly. I’m sure.”

Ethan remained frozen. Sure, Stella really moved into Verdant Villa–she moved in just like that? Why? For what reason?

When she showed up there before, he’d assumed it was

s because some man had brought her in.

She’d just entered. Just gone in.. for what? The thought made his chest tighten inexplicably

“Why is she living there?” he asked, breath shallow, needing an answer to the question gnawing at him.

Over the past two years, Stella hadn’t shown the kind of passion for him that the public always imagined–not like she was hopelessly in love, desperate to marry only him.

But her life had been so clean–spotless, even. There had never been any other men around her.

Her world had been simple. Just Rianne and Tessa as friends. So why were men suddenly showing up in her life, one after another? Why was she staying at Verdant Villa? And who the heck was the man who lived there?

Jason said, “It’s probably because of the owner. I looked into it–haven’t found the actual deed yet.”

“But when that land was first bought, the person who signed the contract was a man who was fifty–eight years old at the time.” “Fifty–eight?” Ethan repeated.

Jason nodded. “Yes. That land was purchased eight years ago. So that man would be sixty–six now.”

Ethan said nothing

Inside the cramped car, the air went still again.

Sirty–sir, so the owner of Verdant Villa was now sirty–six years old? And Stella wariving with a man like that? Ethan’s breathing grew rapid.

Just as Jason was about to say more, his phone buzzed loudly–it was a call from Susan.

Jason glanced back. “Mr. Keene, it’s Madam Susan.”

“Take it,” Ethan answered instinctively, the words mechanical. He didn’t even hear himself speak–didn’t catch what Jason had just said either.

His mind was spinning with a single image–Stella with a sixty–six–year–old man. She had degraded herself that far, all for a man? Jason answered, “Madam Susan.”

Jason, is Ethan in a meeting at the company? I’ve been trying to call him, but I can’t get through.” Jason glanced at Ethan in the backseat. The man’s expression was getting darker by the second.

Before he could say anything to Susan, Ethan suddenly shoved open the car door and got out.

Jason’s heart nearly jumped out of his chest.

Reflexively, he told Susan, “Yes, Mr. Keene is in a meeting”

1/2

Jason stammered. “Uh… Mr. Keene’s busy, Madam Susan. Let’s talk later.

And with that, he hung up–completely unwilling to continue the conversation.

Back at the office, Stella was about to start a meeting when she saw Ethan return–still wearing the same soaking wet clothes.

Kimmy’s eyelids twitched the moment she saw him.

She instinctively turned toward Stella.

But before anyone could react, Ethan stormed forward and grabbed Stella by the wrist, dragging her back into the office.

The whole thing happened fast, fueled by fire. The door slammed shut behind them.

Stella immediately yanked her arm free, eyes frosty and voice dripping with disgust. “What the heck are you doing?”

Ethan shouted, Tll marry you!

Stella stood frozen. What the heck? Did I just hear him right?

Before she could even process it, the office door creaked open.
