Chapter 16 So, He Was Ethan Preston!
Once Clara had stabilized herself, she glanced to her side and saw a man wearing a black tuxedo. He
stood there quietly with one hand in his pocket, exuding a cold aura.
His arrival was like a sedative, relaxing Clara.
Clara pursed her lips, but just as she was about to speak, she noticed that the surrounding area was in
an uproar. Many people had gathered around whispering among themselves.
“Heavens, it’s Ethan Preston!”
“When did he come back? He actually came to this dinner party!”
What?
Clara looked at the indifferent man next to her again, stunned.
Although the Rowans were a wealthy family, they didn’t compare to the hundred-year history of the
Prestons. The business of the Prestons was out of reach for the people there, let alone making their
acquaintance.
Regarding the Prestons, Clara had found out from the friends in her circle.
It was rumored that the core industry of the Prestons was now controlled by the son of the second wife,
Ethan Preston. It was rumored that Ethan Preston was a wife killer and had already killed two wives. As
the wedding approached, the bride would always die a mysterious and cruel death.
So, he was Ethan Preston!
Someone else said in a faint voice, “Mr. Preston said that Clara Rowan was his female companion?”
“Steve Lane was so ruthless as to slap Mr. Preston’s female companion in front of everyone. Will Mr.
Preston seek justice for his female companion...?”
All the people who had dealt with Ethan knew the rumors about the Prestons and knew that he was
vicious. Now that someone had slapped his female companion, wouldn’t it be like slapping him.
How could he overlook it?
Steve and Ruby were familiar with the business world, so they naturally knew about Ethan Preston. At
this time, they did not look well.
Ruby spoke first, “Mr. Preston, we don’t know that Clara is your partner. Mr. Lane didn’t mean to slap
her. It was Clara who first spoke rudely ......”
“Don’t apologize to me.” Ethan’s expression was cold as he interrupted Ruby’s endless chatter. “She’s
just my female companion.”
Hearing this, Clara’s heart sank.
Ruby quickly understood what Ethan meant, and her nervousness instantly disappeared.
She even laughed, “Clara, just tell me if you are short of money. As a friend, I can give you a little.
Don’t think that you are still the Rowan lady who everyone wants to seduce!”
The people around her also laughed, “This Clara is really funny. Does she think she’s powerful just
because she’s Mr. Preston’s female companion? “
“Mr. Preston, you should open your eyes. Don’t be fooled by this kind of woman.”
Countless insults were hurled at Clara, but Ethan just stood there coldly and did not say anything more,
allowing her to be humiliated.
Clara felt like she was going to break down. She pushed through the crowd and ran to the bathroom in
a fluster.
She felt better after pouring icy water on her face, but her eyes were still teary.
She hadn’t wanted the man to help her teach Steve Lane a lesson and stand up for her, but the man
had told everyone that “She is only my female companion” and let Ruby bully her.
Did he ask her to come to this party just to let her make a fool of herself?
Clara lowered her eyes and pursed her lips tightly. “Mr. Preston isn’t helping me......”
“Of course, you need to get your revenge yourself. “ Donny handed Clara a mobile phone to Clara. “He
said that you can only rely on yourself. “
Clara Rowan remembered hearing these words when she was unconscious in the villa.
Could it be that Mr. Preston had come to the villa during that time?
The mobile phone didn’t have a password, so Clara easily opened it. She wondered what Donny
wanted her to see as she quickly opened the photo album that only had one video.
After watching the video, she realized what she needed to do, and her dark mood was swept away.
Clara returned to the banquet hall, found a waiter, muttered a few words to him, and then stuffed the
phone and a stack of money into the waiter’s hand. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
The waiter was moved by the stack of money. He quickly turned around and left.
