"Sa to you." Ethan Grant showed no intention of letting go.
Since it’s all about manipulation, everyone’s doing it. How noble could he really be?
Henry Jennings frowned, still wanting to say sothing when the police entered the ward. "Mr. Jennings, please cooperate with our investigation into the incident of Jayden Grant hitting soone."
Henry Jennings glanced at Ethan Grant, his face dark.
Is Ethan Grant scheming against him too?
"President Jennings, the incident of Jayden hitting soone is quite serious. Yvette Aston certainly won’t agree to reconcile, given the injustice she suffered. I hope President Jennings will face the facts." Ethan Grant spoke softly.
Henry Jennings took a deep breath. Well, Ethan Grant truly deserved his reputation.
Jayden is a mber of the Grant Family, Ethan Grant’s younger brother. For Ethan Grant to call the police and testify, it’s too obvious; Arthur Grant will surely be angry with him.
But if Henry Jennings testifies and exposes Jayden for hitting soone, it would be a different story.
Moreover, if he protected Jayden, Yvette would surely be more disappointed in him.
Ethan Grant was killing two birds with one stone, strategically well-planned.
"Sumrs, stay here with Mom. Dad will co later." Henry Jennings rubbed Sumrs’ head and crouched in front of him. "If anything happens, call Dad, okay?"
Sumrs nodded with teary eyes, cautiously looking back at Ethan Grant.
He wanted Ethan Grant to be his dad, but... his mom said Henry Jennings was his dad.
Feeling a bit sad, Sumrs lowered his head and said nothing.
Henry Jennings left Ben Ziegler behind to take care of Sumrs, then left with the police.
Ethan Grant could see Henry Jennings was intentional. He deliberately clarified his identity; no matter what he did, he couldn’t change the fact that he was Sumrs’ dad.
Between Yvette and Henry Jennings, there was the bond of Sumrs that Ethan Grant could never sever.
"Sumrs, do you have school tomorrow?" Ethan Grant quietly asked.
Sumrs cautiously approached Ethan Grant, his soft little hand tightly gripping the corner of his clothes.
Caden Sumrs and Christopher Carter were outside the ward, and inside were only Ethan Grant, Sumrs, and Yvette.
"Are you used to school?" Ethan Grant spoke again, extending his hand toward Sumrs.
Sumrs cried with grievance, threw himself into Ethan Grant’s arms, and dared not cry out loud.
Ethan Grant took a deep breath and rubbed Sumrs’ head.
"I don’t want to go to school..." Sumrs murmured, he liked being held by Ethan Grant; it felt very safe.
"Why?" Ethan Grant himself didn’t realize his voice could be so gentle.
"Because they fought, they said bad things about Mom." Sumrs stood with grievance, looking heartbreakingly pitiful.
Christopher Carter entered intending to say sothing, but upon seeing Sumrs standing with grievance before Ethan Grant, he was stunned for a mont.
So alike... Sumrs’ expression at this mont was so similar to Ethan Grant.
"But you can’t stop going to school, you’re about to graduate to elentary school; early education shouldn’t be neglected." Ethan Grant said with an educational tone, yet unusually gentle.
Sumrs wiped his tears and spoke softly. "I’m sorry..."
He couldn’t call him Dad, but he really wanted to call Ethan Grant Dad. "Sumrs got into a fight, the school doesn’t want Sumrs anymore."
Ethan Grant frowned, glancing at Christopher Carter. "Please look into that."
Christopher Carter quickly closed the ward door and went to make calls.
"Will Mom be okay?" Sumrs asked quietly, afraid of waking his mom.
"She will." Ethan Grant nodded.
"Uncle... thank you." Sumrs didn’t call him Dad this ti.
Yet Ethan Grant felt a bit disappointed?
"Study hard, and thank when you grow up." Ethan Grant set a goal for Sumrs.
Sumrs’ eyes lit up, nodding earnestly.
"Mr. Grant... The kindergarten ntioned that Sumrs hit Miss Grant’s son, Stephen Sinclair. But... I heard Michelle Lockwood from the Lockwood Family has already spoken to the kindergarten; they’re taking it seriously and said they’ll personally pick up Sumrs for school tomorrow morning." Christopher Carter looked at Ethan Grant, astonished.
What’s Yvette’s relationship with Michelle Lockwood?
Michelle Lockwood is famous in the circle as a little pepper; three years ago, she married a M Country businessman. Not long after, her husband died, leaving her to bring back a billion-dollar fortune as a woman returning to her country; she’s definitely a formidable character.
At the door, Caden Sumrs paused. "Michelle Lockwood? She’s my boss; I work as her bodyguard."
Christopher Carter opened his mouth, looking shocked. "You work as a bodyguard for Michelle Lockwood? You’re quite brave."
Indeed, skilled people are fearless.
It’s said Michelle Lockwood’s deceased husband was part of M Country’s gang; she brought back the inheritance to her holand, naturally her husband’s family wouldn’t let her go, being Michelle Lockwood’s bodyguard truly makes one earn a living with their life.
Caden Sumrs said nothing else; after all, it’s the boss’s private matter, he didn’t want to pry.
But Michelle Lockwood... she even helped with the kindergarten situation.
"Did Chelsea Grant make things difficult for you?" Ethan Grant looked at Caden Sumrs.
Caden Sumrs nodded. "Mm, no kindergarten dared to take Sumrs, so I asked for my boss’s help."
Ethan Grant frowned.
Why didn’t Yvette call him?
Was she afraid of bothering him?
Looking back at Yvette, Ethan Grant wondered how to make her fully relax and let her guard down.
"Take Sumrs ho, he should go to sleep. Tomorrow morning, I’ll let Christopher Carter take him to school." Ethan Grant rubbed Sumrs’ head.
Sumrs looked back at his mom, nodding obediently.
If soone else asked him to go ho, he definitely wouldn’t listen, but Ethan Grant’s words he would.
Caden Sumrs was also slightly surprised; Sumrs, though obedient, had a stubborn personality. With Yvette injured, he definitely wouldn’t want to leave; yet he actually agreed so obediently to Ethan Grant’s words.
"I’m here, your mom will be fine." Ethan Grant soothed once more.
Sumrs looked up at Ethan Grant, opened his mouth, and didn’t call out Dad, instead turned to run to Caden Sumrs’ side.
"With here, you can rest assured. The Grants should co to trouble Yvette, during this ti, stay low and don’t get involved." Ethan Grant kindly advised Caden Sumrs.
"Mr. Grant... my sister, and I, what can we do for you?" Caden Sumrs wasn’t soone who would owe favors, he also didn’t want Yvette to owe Ethan Grant too many favors.
"I won’t help you for no reason, but neither will I do anything despicable." Ethan Grant reassured Caden Sumrs.
Caden Sumrs took a deep breath, picked up Sumrs, and left.
Ethan Grant is not like Jayden Grant.
At least he wouldn’t force Yvette to do things she didn’t want to do.
As for other utilitarian values, as Yvette said, it’s re mutual exploitation.
...
The next morning, Yvette slowly opened her eyes, glancing at the IV bag above with so bewildernt.
"Awake?"
On the sofa, Ethan Grant supported his head, frowning as he spoke.
Yvette nervously looked at Ethan Grant; did he actually keep watch here all night? "Mr... Mr. Grant."
"Shh!" Ethan Grant made a silencing gesture. "Jayden Grant was taken for investigation by the police; the Grants will arrive here soon. Whatever they say, do not respond."
Ethan Grant intended to protect Yvette.
Yvette nervously clenched her hands, evidently afraid.
Jayden Grant entered the police station, how could the Grants possibly let her off easily?
"Don’t be scared, I’m here." Ethan Grant stood by the bedside, reassuring Yvette.
Yvette’s eyes reddened, nodding.
But how long could Ethan Grant protect her?
