The Grants: Choosing One Between The Two-Chapter 174: Ethan Warns Yvette Not to Date Early

Chapter 174: Chapter 174: Ethan Warns Yvette Not to Date Early

Ethan Grant sat with a gloomy air in front of the computer desk and pointed at Yvette Aston’s seat. "Get to work."

Yvette Aston’s eyes were red, unsure if Ethan Grant didn’t trust her.

"No puppy love!" After a long silence, Ethan Grant lowered his voice to scold.

Yvette Aston turned to look at Ethan Grant, letting out a bewildered "Oh."

How old was she now? Was there any use saying she couldn’t have a romance at this age?

While Yvette Aston went to her desk to work, Ethan Grant secretly downloaded the encrypted files from Jayden Grant’s computer onto the desktop, then transferred them to his phone, quickly deleting them.

"Mr. Grant... aren’t you going to investigate the people around you?" Yvette Aston was on pins and needles; she feared Ethan Grant would suspect her and wanted to prove her innocence. "In situations like this, it’s definitely a computer virus."

Ethan Grant leaned back in his chair, tapping the table. "Christopher Carter."

Outside the door, Christopher Carter, who had been eavesdropping, rushed in, panic-stricken. "Mr. Grant! I’m here."

"After I left yesterday afternoon, who entered my office?" Ethan Grant asked.

He checked his computer every day, but yesterday... he was too flustered by the paternity test incident to shut it down before leaving.

But before Christopher Carter left work, he would normally shut it down for him as well.

So that meant someone had touched his computer after he left but before Christopher Carter finished for the day.

"No one, just me and Yvette Aston." Christopher Carter was anxious. "It really wasn’t Yvette Aston."

Yvette Aston too felt panicked, lowering her head with reddened eyes.

Ethan Grant rubbed his temples. "You should head to the desert project base tomorrow."

Christopher Carter couldn’t figure out where he had misspoken again, but even at the risk of being scolded by Ethan Grant, he had to bravely stand up for Yvette Aston. "Mr. Grant, you can’t suspect Yvette Aston. I really think this has nothing to do with her."

"..." Ethan Grant was furious with Christopher Carter.

Did he think he was being righteous, trying to earn points with Yvette Aston?

Ethan Grant now believed all the men around Yvette Aston were like wolves, not a single good one among them.

So he had to keep a close eye on them.

"Right! I remember now." Christopher Carter slapped his forehead. "Miss Wendy came!"

Ethan Grant raised an eyebrow. "Heh..."

"Mr. Grant... you suspect Miss Wendy?" Christopher Carter asked in a low voice. "But I just went to get a cup of water, and she was sitting there the whole time."

"No doubt about it. It was her," Ethan Grant stated confidently. "Without turning off the computer and while connected to the internet, you just need to insert a USB drive to transfer a virus. In the time you got water, someone could invade three times."

Christopher Carter stammered. "Then... then report it to the police?"

"Report it? Do you have evidence?" Ethan Grant retorted.

The office had no surveillance cameras.

"No..." Christopher Carter shook his head.

"Stay quiet and watch what she and Jayden Grant are up to." Ethan Grant glanced at the time. "The Bell Family should be holding a press conference right now. She’s giving me a gift; should I not return the favor?"

Christopher Carter drew in a breath of cold air, clearly sensing Ethan Grant’s chill.

"Mr. Grant, you..."

Ethan Grant stood up, walked to the door, and grabbed Zane Quinn, who was still eavesdropping. "Come with me for a bit."

Christopher Carter shivered as he turned to warn Yvette Aston. "See that? That’s what happens when you offend Mr. Grant. The Bell Family has provoked Mr. Grant more than once; just wait to see the results..."

Yvette Aston’s palms were a bit sweaty. "What’s Mr. Grant going to do?"

"Just wait for the news," Christopher Carter sighed. "Didn’t you ask before what Mr. Grant is like when he’s angry? Did you see how he was just now? Isn’t it scary?"

Yvette Aston nodded blankly.

Actually... it wasn’t that scary, just a bizarre warning not to have a puppy love.

"I’ve never seen Mr. Grant with such a dark face before. The Bell Family has truly touched his raw nerve this time." Christopher Carter continued to exaggerate.

"But... why do I feel like Mr. Grant is more mad at Jayden Grant?" Yvette Aston wondered if it was her imagination.

It probably was Jayden Grant who hacked Mr. Grant’s computer, making him so angry.

"Get back to work and wait for the news." Christopher Carter was a little excited, eager to see how their Mr. Grant would handle the Bell Family.

Ethan Grant did not disappoint.

At the Bell Family’s press conference, Wendy Bell personally represented her parents, publicly admitting Claudia Bell’s crimes. Her speech was artful, expressing woe while downplaying how malicious Claudia Bell’s actions were.

Just as the media were planning to report weakly, a parent with a funeral portrait and a few victims who had been bullied by Claudia Bell all rushed out.

"Bring back my daughter’s life! It was all because of Claudia Bell. She bullied others, relying on her family’s power, leading my daughter to commit suicide by jumping off a building. I have recordings showing the true colors of their whole family; Claudia Bell’s mother offered us three million, claiming my daughter’s life was cheap, that it was deserved to commit suicide after being hit a few times!"

The mother, who lost her daughter, cried hysterically, holding the portrait, releasing recordings from the Bell parents during a private settlement.

"Since school, Claudia Bell was the queen of the class, leading the charge to bully students she disliked and anyone she couldn’t stand..."

Another woman courageously stepped forward. "I thought after so many years, I could forget the harm, but some wounds can’t be forgotten. I live in hell every day."

She exposed her collarbone, all covered in cigarette burns.

"She brought people to bully me, made me kneel, burned cigarette scars on my collarbone, saying it was the best ashtray she’d ever used..."

The woman continued to cry.

Other victims also stepped forward. "Just because... a boy Claudia Bell liked smiled at me, she had someone ruin my face, calling me a seductress."

The woman took off her mask, showing a scar on her face. "I told the teacher, but even they couldn’t do anything. In the end, all their family did was pay money to settle it."

This time, the Bell Family was thoroughly thrust into the limelight.

Wendy Bell looked shocked and panicked at all the victims below the stage. How could this happen...

She had clearly set up security to ensure nothing went wrong, just to report back to Ethan Grant without tarnishing the Jennings Family. How did it suddenly spiral out of control?

"Who let these people in!" Wendy Bell lost control and questioned.

People beside her dared not make a sound.

Wendy Bell’s breathing was rapid; the situation was beyond her control. "Disperse the reporters!"

"Yes."

Wendy Bell stumblingly walked off the stage, escorted to the break room.

Who had such a capability...

Ethan Grant?

To find so many victims and expose these matters today, Ethan Grant never intended to spare the Bell Family from the beginning?

What was he thinking? Was he mad? What could destroying the Bell Family possibly gain him!

"Miss Bell... it was Mr. Grant who let these people in." This hotel belonged to the Grant Group.

Wendy Bell sat shivering on the couch; it was indeed Ethan Grant, and only he had such capability.

Ethan Grant wanted to destroy the Bell Family.

What on earth did the Bell Family do to offend him?

Yvette Aston, surely it was Yvette Aston inciting things from behind the scenes.

Since Ethan Grant gave the Bell Family such a gift, she absolutely wouldn’t let Yvette Aston have it easy.

"Tell Henry Jennings if he doesn’t take Summers away from Yvette Aston, I’ll let the Jennings patriarch know the paternity test results of Summers and the old master!"
