Chapter 307
Ethan noticed that all of them had their heads lowered, and their bodies trembled as if they had made a big mistake. He did not say anything else and just looked at the time. It was already past 6 p.,
Ethan got up and said, “Are you guys planning to leave now or are you staying for dinner?”
The South Regent snapped to his senses and nodded happily, “Sorry to trouble you, Lord Rivers!”
George wanted to leave, but seeing that the South Regent was staying, he decided to stay. This was a good chance to observe the South Regent. By knowing himself and the enemy, he could be victorious in every battle!
Ethan walked into the kitchen. Meanwhile, George kept staring at the South Regent in secret, observing his every move.
Rachel knew she had nothing to do there, so she quietly walked into the kitchen, wanting to argue with Ethan. Ever since she started staying with Stephen, she realized how good Ethan had been to her.
Ethan was washing the vegetables when he heard Rachel’s footsteps, but he did not even bat an eye at her.
As Rachel stood behind Ethan, she asked softly, “Have you been doing well here?”
“Yes.” Ethan’s answer was simple and indifferent.
Rachel lowered her head and said, “I’m not doing well. Stephen hasn’t been treating me well at all.”
After washing the vegetables, Ethan said indifferently, “Who asked you about that?”
Rachel was rendered speechless. Her eyes immediately became flushed with tears. A few seconds later, she ran out of the kitchen.
Ethan’s answer made her angry and heartbroken.
Was he blaming her for causing him to be trapped in Drakthorn Ridge? How could that compare to the misery she had been going through? Was he still holding a grudge? Rachel felt wronged.
The South Regent knew that George had been observing him. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Rachel running out, looking deeply aggrieved. He immediately chuckled.
“Old bastard, you’re not planning to make your daughter seduce Ethan, right? I suggest you don’t even consider it. The last one who tried seducing Ethan had her whole family

killed.”
George was frightened by his words. Indeed, he did not know much about what happened around Ethan.
The South Regent continued, “Although your daughter is quite pretty, she’s still unworthy of Lord Rivers. Just On our side alone, there are women more beautiful than your daughter who have fallen for him.
“It’s a pity that…” The South Regent sighed.
“What’s a pity?” George could not help but ask
“He’s not interested in them,” said the South Regent. “So, stop asking your daughter to get close to him. Lord Rivers will never fall for her.”
George gasped in shock. Were there women more beautiful than Rachel beyond the border? Moreover, Ethan did not even fall for them!
Previously, George thought that Ethan had been helping the Lowes because he had feelings for Rachel. Now, even though Ethan no longer managed Riveria, he still fantasized that as long as he brought Rachel along, Ethan would help for her sake.
After listening to the South Regent, George realized he was overthinking it. If women more beautiful than Rachel could not win Ethan over, what chance did she have?
George considered whether he should ask Rachel to stop for a little. He was genuinely fearing Ethan now.
The South Regent was incredibly powerful, and the few tricks he used on them in Celestial City had them at his mercy. Yet, he did not even dare to breathe loudly in front of Ethan. Ethan also easily exposed the tricks that had them troubled.
They were already scolded so harshly that they could barely lift their heads. What if they angered Ethan, causing him to ask the South Regent to kill them?
Seeing that George had fallen silent, he laughed and said, “Old bastard, why don’t you work for me? I can give you both money and status.”
George immediately frowned. “In your dreams!”
“What ruthless words,” the South Regent teased. “If you continue working with Stephen, you’ll suffer a lot in the future.‘
George said coldly, “Nonsense, Riveria will only get better from now on.
The South Regent smiled but remained silent.
Really? This time, if it had not been for him trying to make money from Celestial City, the economy there would have collapsed.
