Chapter 161 Something Is Off
A wave of indescribable emotion surged through her heart.
Olivia took a deep breath, silently reminding herself not to overly concern herself with Nathan’s matters.
Maybe I should skip the grand opening party this time.
After much thought, she still decided to go.
If she didn’t go, there was no telling what others might think.
Carter Group was just a client of Horizon Ventures, so her participation was entirely justified.
She suppressed all her emotions, telling herself to stay calm and not to overthink.
The rumors reached Ethan and he found them utterly bewildering.
Isn’t it just a regular grand opening party?
How did it end up turning into
a marriage announcement?
Why do I not know something so crucial?
Something is off about this!
After giving it some thought, he felt it necessary to inform Nathan about the matter.
When Nathan learned about it, his handsome face was shrouded in gloom, and his lips were pursed.
Ethan felt a strong chill emanating from his body, making him shiver involuntarily.
In the past, when Nathan received such news, he generally wouldn’t pay much attention to it.
He adhered to the belief that innocence required no defense. He felt that any additional explanation would only serve to further cloud the situation.
But things were different now. It wouldn’t be good if Liam were to see it.
He slowly narrowed his eyes, his voice deep as he asked, “Is someone spreading the word mindlessly, or is someone orchestrating this intentionally?”
Upon hearing his question, Ethan instantly caught on. “If this was unintentional, then it’s no big deal. But if someone orchestrated this intentionally, then we have a serious problem.” At this point, he couldn’t help but express his concern. “The biggest fear with such rumors is that as they continue to spread, they eventually get accepted as truth.”
Nathan wore a serious expression, remaining silent.
Ethan felt that things couldn’t just continue like this, so he suggested, “Mr. Carter, how about I look into it?”
“Look into it?” Nathan scoffed. “If it was orchestrated intentionally, would there be any need to look into it? I know who’s behind it.”
He had long harbored suspicions in his heart.
Ethan was momentarily stunned, then quickly recovered. “It’s the Patel family!”
Nathan’s gaze turned even colder when he heard that.
Finished
Even now, the Patel family hasn’t given up. They actually resorted to such tactics, attempting to force me to acknowledge the marriage between the two families!
Ethan shook his head in disbelief. Ms. Patel is indeed infatuated with Mr. Carter!
But it’s obvious just how much Mr. Carter dislikes her.
I believe Ms. Patel can tell, yet she remains stubbornly hopeful.
“Mr. Carter, what should we do now?” Ethan asked.
Nathan tapped his fingers lightly on the table, looking thoughtful.
Seeing this, Ethan fell silent. He knew that Nathan was already contemplating a counter–strategy.
After a long pause, Nathan slowly began, “Send out a few more invitations for me.”
“Huh?” Ethan was taken aback.
“Every heiress of the high society should have an invitation. Let them all attend this party.”
Ethan was utterly at a loss, unable to fathom Nathan’s thoughts. In his confusion, he asked, “Why?”
Nathan looked at him quietly for a while, not offering any hint. “Have you become less sharp lately?”
His voice subtly carried a hint of displeasure.
A sudden pang of apprehension struck Ethan’s heart, filling him with the unsettling feeling that he could be replaced at any moment.
He didn’t dare to ask another question and hastily said, “Mr. Carter, I know what to do now.”
