Demon CEO's Hidden Love: Mr Grayson Stole Me From My Abusive Husband Chapter 280: Don’t Ever Change

That night, Brooke couldn’t catch a wink of sleep, her thoughts settled on how things went down at the hospital and just what Cassie had co to do.

Thane stayed up with her all night, hugging her tightly to his chest, helping calm her tensed nerves.

The next morning, Brooke went down to set, but was t by so commotion. She noticed a black car parked outside, one she swore to have seen before. Stepping into the inner area, the staff was flocked around sobody, gushing over the stranger.

’Is so famous actor here?’ she thought while navigating through the crowd. But even if he was, he wouldn’t be out exposed in the public.

Unfortunately, Brooke got her answer when a familiar voice called out to her.

"Miss Larson?"

She froze up.

That voice. No, it couldn’t be...

Quickly she turned around, only to find herself staring at Ethan Halton! The staff, parted way for him to walk towards her, all eyes directed at the two.

"It is you! I’m glad I caught you!" Ethan called out to her.

Brooke’s chest tightened. Why the hell was he here? And why was he making such a scene?

She got her answer when Lucas had her sitting across from Ethan at a table, to discuss so further sponsorship plans.

"Brooke, as you may already know, this is Mr Ethan Halton, and he’s decided to invest in this movie." Lucas said, barely able to contain the excitent he was feeling.

However, director Flynn had a suspicious look on his face.

First, it was the Grayson heir. Then so rich heir from a foreign country, and now the richest man in the city wanted to be involved in this movie.

Sothing about Brooke seed awfully suspicious.

Brooke kept a straight face, "I see." She forced a response.

Ethan cracked a smile, "Does my presence intimidate you? Please, feel free around Miss Larson."

Lucas chid, "Brooke, Mr Halton has expressed his faith in your capabilities."

Brooke balled her fists under the table, trying to contain the emotions swelling inside. "I’m sorry, it’s just hard for to wrap my head around this. I’m laddened in scandals, and a complete greenhorn in the industry. What about could have piqued your interest Mr Halton?"

Ethan’s smile twitched, but he quickly recovered, "You strike as a hard worker-" before he could finish Brooke cut him off.

"Not to ntion your fiancé and I are not on good terms with each other. I can’t imagine Miss Crane knows about your interest in sponsorship and is fine with it." She added, purposefully infuriating Ethan.

She knew he hated it when people interrupted him or spoke back. And now, in front of all these people, she knew he couldn’t do a single thing to harm her.

Ethan clenched his jaw.

He had suffered a great deal to find the filming location, but soone kept blocking his sources, as though they were intentionally trying to keep him away from her.

But when the recent scandal surfaced with pictures, his investigator was able to pinpoint her location at long last.

To Lucas he asked, "Could I have a mont with Miss Larson? There are so things I want to ask her."

Director Flynn replied, "Is it sothing the rest of us can’t hear?"

Ethan narrowed his eyes, "I haven’t fully decided on sponsoring this movie, I need to ask Miss Larson here so more questions. Or what? Is that not allowed?"

Lucas nodded, "Of course you can." He stood up and signalled the director to follow, giving them the room.

Once they were gone, Ethan got up and charged at Brooke, however before he could a red dot appeared on his white shirt. He would not have noticed it on ti, had he not perceived how calm Brooke was.

His wife would’ve fallen over herself, scared to death of him.

"What the hell is this?" He demanded, staring at the red dot pointed at his chest.

Brooke’s phone vibrated on the table, she picked it up slowly to see a text ssage from an unknown number.

-"Mrs Grayson, am I allowed to open fire? Nod, if yes. Wave off, if no."-

Brooke rolled her tongue around her mouth. She recalled Thane saying sothing to her earlier about tightening her security, but she imagined he ant increasing her bodyguards.

Realizing she had ignored him for nearly a minute, Ethan raised his angry fist, "Brooke! I said you a question-" his loud voice was t by Brooke’s soft yet sharp reprimand.

"If I were you I’d behave myself, your life is in my hands Ethan." She told him, her eyes narrowed into a glare.

Ethan scoffed, "Oh, you think you can kill ? I own you Brooke! You know that better than anyone."

Brooke shook her head, feeling stupid for ever being scared of soone like Ethan in the first place.

She got up, "I don’t know what it is you ca here hoping to achieve, but if I were you I’d stop now. Don’t interfere with this movie Ethan."

"Oh? Are you threatening ? What old man did you suck off? I always knew the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. I should’ve known that you were a skank, just like your sister." He taunted, his eyes following Brooke as she gathered her things.

Brooke sighed, "Hopeless." She shook her head slowly from side to side.

The condescending look in her eye, as though she were better than him made him forget about the sniper and try to attack her from behind.

*Crack*

Ethan’s heart skipped a beat when the glass of water next to him was shot into a thousand pieces.

This wasn’t so bluff? Did his vegetable wife really have soone backing her up?

Brooke made for the door, unbothered, but stopped just as she reached for the handle. "Oh, and tell Cassie that I really was worried about her back at the hospital."

Ethan raised a brow, hospital? Had the two t and Cassie had kept it from him?!

"What are you-"

Brooke cut him off again. "I was worried she was going to get off the hook so easily by dying. I’m grateful that she’s still the sa, that you’re all still the sa." She flung her head over her shoulder and tossed him the biggest smile he had ever seen.

"Please, all of you, stay the way you’ve always been. Don’t ever change." She told him then walked out of the room.
