Yvette found inexplicable comfort being held by Ethan.
However, the conversation she had just had with Jayden, Ethan must have heard it...
Did he misunderstand?
Jayden looked at Ethan, the two confronted each other sharply in the elevator.
"Yvette is my ex-girlfriend. Aren’t you afraid of the gossip, brother?" Jayden reminded Ethan not to ruin his reputation.
Ethan sneered. "You’re already engaged, yet you’re entangled with your sister-in-law. Who’s ruining the reputation here?"
Jayden clenched his fists. "Who doesn’t know that Yvette and I were once together?"
"So what? If you were blind once, does that an you can’t be cured?" Ethan’s cold eyes glared at Jayden.
Seeing the two about to fight, Yvette instinctively reached out and hugged Ethan, speaking softly. "I... my eyes are cured."
Jayden gripped his fists tightly, his face dark and frightening.
Yvette was deliberately provoking him.
"Ethan, you hate so much that you’re always competing with . Yvette is soone I cast aside, but you treat her like treasure." Jayden snorted before leaving the elevator.
"Watching you scramble to find your dignity on the ground—how pathetic." Ethan held Yvette’s hand, mocking Jayden.
Jayden’s knuckles turned white, he paused for a mont, then left quickly.
Soon, Ethan would have his own problems to deal with.
Eric Larson is causing trouble with the project departnt. Let’s see how Ethan explains to the board.
After Jayden left, Yvette nervously tried to break free from Ethan’s grip.
But Ethan held her wrist tightly, pulling her into the office.
Feeling Ethan’s anger, Yvette was terrified.
Her heart was in her throat.
She was actually very afraid that Ethan would be angry and then abandon her...
"Still in love with Jayden? Hoping he and Charlotte cancel their engagent?" Ethan was heavily irritated.
Yvette looked at Ethan with fear, trembling, not knowing how to explain.
Ethan really was terrifying when he got angry.
"I... I didn’t..." Yvette cried in a hurry. "That’s not what I ant."
She was rely sarcastic towards Jayden.
Ethan snorted. "I’m angry, can you tell?"
Yvette’s tears rolled down in crystal drops, she nodded vigorously.
She understood.
Ethan felt a twinge of regret... he had scared Yvette.
He lifted her chin and helped her wipe away the tears. "You are mine..."
Yvette looked at Ethan, not daring to speak.
She could see the strong possessiveness in Ethan’s eyes.
It was a more frightening possessiveness than Henry’s.
Oddly, Yvette felt a bit chill.
"You’ve made angry, how do you plan to make up for it?" Ethan asked.
Yvette bit her lip and shook her head.
"You, how do you want to make it up..."
Ethan leaned closer to Yvette, suddenly wanting to kiss her.
Yvette was stunned for a mont, her nervous heart was in her throat.
Why did Ethan recently always want to kiss her...
"Sumrs is going to visit Caden tonight..." Ethan reminded Yvette in a hoarse voice.
Yvette nodded, realizing late. "Yes, right..."
"So tonight... I want to sleep with you." Ethan trapped Yvette against the wall.
Yvette stamred. "Haven’t we always... always slept together?"
"The sleep you ntioned is an adjective. I an it as a verb." Ethan raised an eyebrow.
"..." Yvette’s face flushed suddenly.
This guy... how could he be like this?
Who dared to spread the rumor that Ethan wasn’t interested in won and was indifferent?
He was clearly, just, just very excessive.
"Mr. Grant, Eric Larson has the entire project departnt waiting for you in the conference room." Christopher Carter knocked on the door from outside.
Frightened, Yvette quickly tidied her hair, took the materials, and followed Ethan out of the office.
"How’s the handling?" Ethan asked.
Christopher nodded, holding the information of a few people. "I’ve already talked a few of them into it."
Ethan took the materials. "Hmm, well done."
Christopher, with dark circles under his eyes, laughed awkwardly, feeling flattered.
He had been up all night...
Yvette followed Christopher and Ethan into the conference room.
In the conference room, Eric Larson looked very displeased, glaring at Yvette with intense anger.
Yvette lowered her head and hid behind Ethan.
"Mr. Grant, our project departnt personnel intend to resign with ." Eric Larson was still trying to save face, wanting Ethan to ask him to stay.
Ethan sat back in his chair, looking at Eric Larson, then at the project team mbers. "Whoever is resigning, stand up and let see."
The project team exchanged glances, nervously looking at each other, no one daring to be the first to stand up.
Eric Larson clenched his fingers and stood up himself.
Ethan nodded. "Only Manager Larson wants to leave?"
Others, seeing Eric Larson stood up, those who had sothing over them also cautiously stood up.
Ethan glanced at Christopher. "Notify the HR departnt to proceed with their resignation formalities."
Eric Larson looked at Ethan in shock; was Ethan going to fire the entire project team? "Mr. Grant, doing this, won’t the board object?"
Eric seed confident, as lody Crowe was already on her way.
lody was surely with Arthur Grant.
The chairman personally ca. Let’s see how Ethan handles it.
"Manager Larson seems to be in a hurry, expedite, first approve his resignation formalities, after all, he was the only one who voluntarily submitted a resignation request yesterday." Ethan glanced at Christopher.
Christopher nodded and notified HR to process Eric Larson’s resignation.
Before lody Crowe and Arthur arrived.
"Ethan Grant... you’ve taken action before informing!" Eric Larson slamd the table in anger.
"That’s not right, Manager Larson, you voluntarily proposed resignation, am I, Ethan Grant, the Group CEO, not able to approve an employee’s resignation?" Ethan’s voice was low.
Yvette glanced at Christopher and pulled up a prepared banner.
It read, Manager Larson Farewell Party for Leaving.
The project team gasped, no one dared to make a sound.
"As for others in the project departnt who haven’t submitted a resignation application, I assu they’re just reluctant to part with Manager Larson, understandable. Since there will be a vacancy, we will have internal candidates compete for it. I’m quite satisfied with a few." Ethan announced the nas of those Christopher worked on last night.
This effectively broke them from within.
Several looked at Eric Larson nervously and explained helplessly. "Manager Larson, we’re sorry too. Getting into Grant Group isn’t easy. If we leave with you, we may not have the sa stable salary. We also have families to support, apologies."
Eric Larson’s face darkened, he gritted his teeth hard.
"Let’s see who dares to fire Eric Larson." From the door, lody Crowe with Jayden, walked in with overpowering anger.
Clearly fighting Ethan for company control.
Ethan squinted slightly, seeing that Arthur hadn’t shown up, huh... giving lody full confidence.
"Aunt Crowe has quite the audacity." Ethan mocked, smiling. "But you’re late."
Ethan put the news of Eric Larson’s successful resignation on the projector screen. "It wasn’t firing Manager Larson; it’s his own voluntary resignation. Two different concepts."
"Ethan Grant!" lody shivered with anger, her face turning from dark to pale. "Your father said you’ve been too stressed lately, so he wants Jayden to temporarily take your place and let you go ho and rest!"
lody ca to force Ethan out of the CEO position.
Yvette looked at Ethan nervously. This was definitely Arthur’s words; otherwise, lody wouldn’t be this confident.
The real storm within the company was about to hit.
