I have things to do toniglu, juur listen to me“ Ethan said.
Sharon was disappointed. Ethan had already gotten into the car, and the convoy drove off in front of
Janet sighed. “Such a great opportunity wasted. I told you, a girl’s modesty doesn’t mean anything.”
Sharon took a deep breath. I’m not like Gwen. A woman who loves herself is truly precious. Ethan values me. Don’t say that.”
Janet, not daring to offend her, replied. “Of course let’s get in the car

Janet eagerly said. “We’ll be right there.
As soon as they got in the car, Kody asked, “How come Uncle Ethan didn’t take you guys!
Janet quickly responded, “I don’t know what Mr. Raymond is up to. It’s probably something to do with Gwen again. Kody, do you guys like women
like Gwen?”
Kody quickly retorted, “I’m not like that. A gold digger like Gwen can’t compare to Sharon. Did she bully you guys again?”
Sharon shook her head. “It’s my fault.”
Kody was angry. That Gwen, I hope I don’t run into her again, or I’ll teach her a lesson!”
Gwen didn’t care about any of that. Having narrowly escaped, she just wanted to hide for a while.
Joshua had already become Ethan’s lackey, and she felt she needed to get Vincent to take care of Beatrice’s guardianship issue as soon as possible.
Same apartinent as before?” Sean asked.
“Yeal sorry to trouble you, Gwen replied, snapping back to reality,
“You got scared just by a simple question. What’s the matter? You think Ethan’s going to eat you up or something? Sean joked.
Gwen pursed her lips. Even if he doesn’t, it’s still terrifying.”
Their socul standings were so different, she couldn’t afford to offend him, so she had to avoid him.
Scan made her laugh. “You’re still so unhappy being with Ethan? He’s not going to fall in lage with you, so what are you afraid of!”
Gwen shrugged. “He better not. I’ve arrived. Consider it a favor owed to you twice, I’ll return it to you if I get the chance
She opened the door and got out of the car.
Just as Sean answered the phone, he didn’t have time to respond to Gwen. By the time she looked back, his car had already sped off, leaving at a speed as if something were chasing him.
“What’s up?” Sean said.
On the other end of the line was Ethan. “Where did you
Sean found it amusing: “You’re asking me about your woman! If you lost your money, would you expect me to replace it for you?”
“You took her, so if I’m not asking you, then who? Ethan retorted.
Seeing that Ethan was genuinely angry, Scan raised an eyebrow “Don’t worry, I just dropped her off safely at home. If you want to grab her, you’ll have to do it yourself.
“Can’t live without her,
you say you were just playing around? Three years later, and you still cant let go of h
her,” Sean mocked
“Who told you I can’t let go of her?” Ethan replied

Hearing this, Sean deliberately continued, “Oh, well, just now I said you wouldn’t fall in love with her. Guess what she said”
Ethan didn’t respond.
Sean slowly repeated, “She said. He better not
After that, Sean continued speaking, but Ethan didn’t listen to a word. He simply hung up the phone.
Gwen stepped out of the elevator and was about to open the door when she noticed that her suitcase had been tossed in front of it.
She hurried to open it, and because she had packed in a rush, only bringing a few clothes and beddings, everything was now thrown inside in a
chaotic mess.
To make matters worse, the lock on the workforce housing door had been changed.
Fuming, she immediately contacted the property management
“Sorry, Ms. Leblanc,” the property manager said. “We’ve checked your records, and since you are still a student and haven’t graduated, according to our rules, you’re not allowed to live here
“We’re just following the rules. If you have a problem with that, we can’t do anything for you,” he added.
Ewen wanted to argue that this was ridiculous.
Tim about to graduate. I’ve already been hired by a production crew, it just hasn’t started filming
filming yet. I have a legitimate job. Hello? Hello!” she shouted into the phone.
But the person on the other end simply blocked her number.
Her heart sank as she guessed that someone must be behind this.
Not wanting to waste any more time, she grabbed her luggage, but had nowhere to go.
Just tiven, Selena called her. “Gwen the stuff sold for 100 thousand dollars, the highest price. 111 transfer the money to your card shortly” Selena
“No need for that. Can you change it to cash? I don’t want it to go through the bank,” Gwen replied.
If it went through the bank and Ethan froze her account, she wouldn’t be able to access the money.
“Alright, I’ll have them transfer it to me, and I’ll exchange it for cash,” Selena agreed.
“Selena, thank you Gwen said, relieved
Gwen was about to ask if she could stay with her for a few days, but before she could, Selena added. “I’m about to go on a business trip. I’ll come to find you in a couple of days.”
Gwen bit back her words, “Okay, you go ahead. It’s not urgent on my end”
After hanging up, Gwen thought for a moment and decided to spend a few days at the hospital with Beatrice. When Selena returned, she would go stay with her.
However, as souti DA
as sout as she arrived at the hospital, the head nurse rushed to find her. “Ms. Leblanc, have you offended someone important? The higher–ups said your grandmother has to move out within a werk
“At such a critical time, the can’t leave the hospital. Dr. Atwood is already helping you contact that expert,” she added.
Gwen felt a surge of anger in her chest. Ethan was being despicable.
Ill resolve it quickly,” she said.
“Good to hear the nurse responded.
Gwen placed her luggage in the hospital room and stayed with Beatrice for a while. Then, she went to the balcony to call Chris.
Chris answered quickly. “Hello, this is Chris Sullivan
Gwen’s throat felt dry. Every time she needed to reach Ethan, she would call Chris to confirm has whereabouts.
She never thought that now, when she was about to leave, she would still have to call Chris, just from a different location.

“In me, Gweil” she said.
“My Leblanc, how can I help you?” Chris asked
Gwen st
suppressed her frustration. “Where is Ethan‘
I’m sorry. Mr. Raymond doesn’t meet with anyone uninvited. Ms. Leblanc, if you have a business proposal, you can contact our staff. Chris replied
“Is that Ethan’s decision?” Gwen asked, her anger rising.
He was implying that she no longer had the right to see him.
Naturally, Chris always followed Ethan’s orders. He wasn’t about to tell Gwen where Ethan was,
Without Ethan, no one in Rivermoor could help her
Gwen closed her eyes, thought for a moment, then called Ethan’s friend, Paul Williams.
At that moment, Paul was with Ethan and a group of others, playing cards at a club. When he received the call, he glanced at Ethan.
“It’s from your little songbird. Should I take the call or not?” Paul asked with a smirk.
Ethan didn’t even look up, but the others around him egged him on, “Come o
on, tell us more about this little songbird!”
Paul shuffled the cards. “You know what! Even birds have levels, and this bird is pretty precious”
Ethan spent a lot on Gwen, clearly, she held some importance in his heart.
“Hello, Gwen. What’s up: Are you inviting me out for a meal or something? Paul replied smoothly, Gwen pretended to be casual. Paul, where’s Ethan? I want to go see him
