All the criticism Stephien threw at Ethan had come back to haunt him, and it was a slap in
his face.
Stephen could feel his face stinging with embarrassment, and his expression was ashen. He had to take a deep breath to force himself to calm down.
“Hmph. It’s been half a month, and you’re still as sharp–tongued as ever.
“I’m just stating the truth.” Ethan then asked, “So are you going to publicly criticize yourself? Or are you planning to hide this woman away in some mansion like a dirty secret?”
“That’s none of your business!”
Stephen could not answer the questions because the answers were not in his favor.
“No matter what you say, it won’t change the outcome. You will die here alone!”
He had always wanted to crush Ethan mentally, hoping to regain some ground.
However, Ethan simply smiled. “Do you really think you can have two women around you. for all your life? You’re incapable, but you want everything. However, you won’t get anything, just like the woman beside you.”
“Do v
Then, he looked at Snow and added, even know her?”
Stephen glared at Ethan, his voice cold. “What do you mean? Are you so consumed with jealousy and bitterness that you can’t respond? If I don’t know her, do you?”
What he did not notice was Snow’s tightly clenched fists.
Ethan calmly said, “You shouldn’t have stayed in Riveria. I believe she told you about this three years ago.”
The woman he was referring to was Nina Summers, Snow’s predecessor. Three years ago, a day before Nina took her own life, she went to Snow and told the girl to leave Riveria.
Stephen frowned as he could not understand what Ethan was talking about.
“Is it because you’re afraid of me? Is that why you want me to leave Riveria?” Snow’s voice was icy.
Stephen’s eyes widened in shock as he turned to Snow, seeing her in a completely new light. It was his first time hearing her speak like that, and her presence sent chills down his spine.
“Quite the opposite. It’s you who is afraid of me. If he didn’t bring you in here, you wouldn’t even have the courage to come in. You’ve wasted the chance. Her sacrifice means

nothing now,” Ethan said.
Getting anxious listening to Ethan, Snow bellowed, “You killed her! What gives you the right to say something like that?”
“Huh?” Stephen was lost.
He could not understand their conversation, and Snow was like a importantly, she seemed to have known Ethan for a long time.
Since when did they both know each other?
tranger to him. More
Stephen started to get anxious. He had brought Snow here to show her off to Ethan, yet it turned out she already knew Ethan personally.
Recalling his foolish smirk and the stupid question, ‘If I don’t know her, do you?‘ made him feel utterly embarrassed.
Ethan said, “I gave her a choice, and she chose death.”
Three years ago, Snow’s predecessor, Nina, was sent to seduce Ethan. However, Ethan saw through her plans the moment she appeared.
He put his phone in front of her.
“This is the footage of your parents being murdered. The killer that you have been searching for eighteen years is in there.”
One short statement rendered Nina defenseless. Her hands were shaking when she tapped play.
Back when she was younger, her parents were killed, and she was adopted from the streets. However, she was quickly sold to an evil organization, where she was forced into training as a killer.
She, too, had been searching for the killer of her parents, but her search remained fruitless for years.
When she met Ethan in person, she felt transparent in front of him, and he even provided her with information on her parents‘ death.
The moment she had a clear look at the killer, she was petrified. The killer was her employee, a businessman with over a net worth of a billion.
Ethan, who was sitting further away from her, said, “I have three pieces of advice for you.
“First, change your name and leave Riveria. The money you’ve earned will be enough for you to live a carefree life, but you won’t get another chance at revenge.
“Second, turn yourself in and then switch on this guy. He will be arrested, but you will also end up behind bars.
“Third, take your own life.“”
Nina stood still for a while before saying, “I will take my own life.”
