The Grants: Choosing One Between The Two-Chapter 198: Ethan Grant Plans to Propose to Yvette Aston

Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Ethan Grant Plans to Propose to Yvette Aston

At the wedding, Ethan Grant attended with Yvette Aston, becoming the focus of the business community.

This kind of thing couldn’t possibly escape Arthur Grant’s ears.

Right after attending the wedding, Arthur Grant’s phone calls came one after another.

Yvette Aston held Ethan Grant’s phone, a bit worried. "Mr. Grant..."

"Don’t answer." Ethan Grant frowned.

Yvette was very anxious inside, but still did as told, ignoring the calls.

Even upon returning to the hotel, Yvette was somewhat absent-minded.

If you provoke Arthur Grant, there will be no good consequences.

If she were Ethan Grant, she should be lying low now, avoiding confrontation, and being temporarily obedient. Whether aligning with the Bell Family or the Sterling Family, it’s essential to hold one side, then gradually grasp the real power in hand.

Yvette believed in Ethan Grant’s capability. In less than three years, he would firmly hold the Grant Group in his hands.

Yet, unexpectedly, he chose this time to go against Arthur Grant.

This clearly wasn’t the most sensible choice.

But after all, it was Ethan Grant’s choice, and Yvette couldn’t say much.

"What do you want for dinner?" Ethan Grant asked softly.

"I..." Yvette, still absent-minded, looked up at Ethan Grant. "Anything... I’m not picky."

"Shall I cook for you?" Ethan Grant embraced Yvette, wanting to cook personally.

Luckily, the resort hotel room had all the necessary kitchenware.

Yvette looked at Ethan Grant in surprise. "Mr. Grant, you’re not planning to set the hotel kitchen on fire, are you? It’s expensive, can’t afford to..."

Yvette worried they couldn’t afford the damages, but then again, considering it was Ethan Grant, maybe they could.

Ethan Grant smiled wryly. "Didn’t I make sandwiches the other day?"

"Sandwiches don’t require cooking." Yvette walked to the kitchen and looked at the ingredients prepared by the hotel butler.

Obviously, Ethan Grant was about to fry steaks.

"Are you sure you can do it?" Yvette confirmed repeatedly.

"I’m quite talented." Ethan Grant raised an eyebrow, took off his watch, removed his suit, and donned an apron to start cooking.

The phone rang again; this time, it was Chelsea Grant calling, not Arthur Grant.

"Chelsea Grant." Yvette handed the phone to Ethan Grant.

Ethan Grant frowned.

He didn’t have much affection for the sister born of the mistress either.

But Chelsea Grant never contacted him voluntarily, which piqued his curiosity.

"Hello?" Ethan Grant answered lazily.

"Brother..." Chelsea seemed to be sneakily calling Ethan Grant from someplace hidden. "Brother, did you make Dad angry? I just heard Dad saying to freeze your shares... What’s going on? Please come back and plead for yourself."

Chelsea was genuinely worried about Ethan Grant.

Although she was arrogant, she didn’t want her mother to snatch what belonged to Ethan Grant.

Yet she also knew that Ethan Grant didn’t accept her, liked her, or had any regard for her and Chase Sinclair.

"Whatever." Ethan Grant spoke in a deep voice.

Arthur Grant was using Chelsea to convey a message to him.

Thinking it would make him scared and obedient?

Ethan Grant let out a cold laugh and said nothing more.

"Brother... I think, as a family, whatever the issue, we should resolve it together. There are misunderstandings between you and my mother. Come back, let’s sit down as a family and talk, okay?" Chelsea wanted Ethan to return soon.

"You shouldn’t get involved in this matter." Ethan Grant also still harbored a bit of kindness towards Chelsea, and that was advising her not to get involved.

Ethan Grant hung up the phone and tossed it aside.

"Aren’t... we going back?" Yvette asked softly.

If he didn’t return now, it really might provoke Arthur Grant.

"Don’t pay attention to him, let him do what he wants." Ethan Grant focused on handling the ingredients, preparing to cook steak for Yvette. "By the way, we have a flight early in the morning. Come with me somewhere."

"Mr. Grant booked the tickets himself?" Yvette was surprised; wasn’t it her role to arrange the travel plans?

"Giving you a surprise," Ethan Grant spoke mysteriously.

Yvette’s heart raced, suddenly excited, wondering where Ethan Grant would take her.

...

In Meridia, at the Grant Family residence.

Arthur Grant looked grimly at Chelsea. "You called, did your brother answer?"

Chelsea nodded. "Dad... Brother was just too tired after the wedding, resting in the hotel, said he caught a cold and was feeling unwell, so please stop calling him, don’t get angry."

Chelsea made up an excuse for Ethan Grant.

Arthur Grant huffed. "The wedding’s over, and he still hasn’t rushed back? What a disgrace, bringing that Yvette to the wedding. She’s brought shame to the Grant Family!"

"Yes, Yvette’s background is indeed a stain. She’s a liar with a criminal record, not even the real daughter of a noble family. If word gets out, where will the Grant Family’s face be?" Melody Crowe added fuel to the fire.

"Ethan was too thoughtless this time. The wedding was attended by business bigwigs, who knows how they’re laughing at us behind our backs now." Melody was well aware of Arthur Grant’s sore points.

Chelsea frowned, clearly understanding her mother’s intentions. "Mom, talk about Yvette if you must, but why bring my brother into it? No matter what, as the CEO of Grant Group, Ethan can surely bring an assistant to a wedding, can’t he?"

Making a mountain out of a molehill.

"Jayden, you must make him come back soon!" Arthur Grant spoke sternly.

Jayden Grant also looked displeased.

The purpose of Arthur Grant forcing Ethan back wasn’t to reclaim his shares, but to press him to take on the position and handle the desert project negotiations.

No one knew what Ethan did, but the project partner insisted that Ethan had to be the one for Grant Group to collaborate!

Ethan must be feeling very triumphant now, stepping on him and gloating secretly, right?

By refusing to return, Ethan was pushing Arthur, making the Grant Family and Grant Group realize Grant Group couldn’t function without him!

Clenching his fists tightly, Jayden was filled with unwillingness.

Furthermore, Ethan Grant and Yvette really got involved with each other...

He was jealous to the point of madness.

Yvette was his, why did Ethan have to take everything from him!

Why!

"Dad, what if my brother refuses to come back?" Jayden asked softly.

"Can’t even handle this? What use are you! You’re no match for your brother in anything. If you could make things easier for me, would I have to be worried all the time?" Arthur Grant exploded, unleashing his anger on Jayden, vented from Ethan.

Jayden gritted his teeth, looking distressed.

All his life, he heard mostly reprimands from his parents.

Arthur Grant would say, "Look at you, your grades are not as good as your brother’s, you’re inferior in everything, no promise at all."

Melody Crowe would say, "Jayden, you have to try hard, you must surpass Ethan Grant. If you can’t surpass him, our family will be kicked out of the Grant Family."

His whole life, no one ever truly affirmed him.

He seemed to always live in Ethan Grant’s shadow.

"Dad... don’t worry, I’ll make him return obediently," Jayden gritted his teeth, glancing at Chelsea. "Sis, I heard lately Stephen and that little bastard Yvette had together are getting along well?"

If Summers were in trouble, wouldn’t Ethan Grant and Yvette rush back here?
