Ethan’s Vengeance of Love
Chapter 66

Chapter 66

Some of the terms in the agreement strongly resonated with Alice. It appears that Mr. Knight shares thesame way of thought as me. That’s great news!

There were a few points concerning Caroline that made Alice feel uneasy. She couldn’t bear to partwith the little girl, but she knew that the people in the Knights were Caroline’s true family, and the girlwould eventually have to return to them. Alice had to let go of her slowly. Besides, the things thatBritney mentioned were all acceptable. All of them were proposed for Caroline’s sake, so Alice was atease, knowing that Britney truly cared about Caroline.

She picked up a pen and quickly signed her name at the bottom.

Britney did not expect her to sign the agreement with little hesitation. So, she subconsciously asked,“Did you read everything carefully?”

Britney thought that Alice might not have read everything.

“Yes, I’ve read everything carefully.” Alice naturally understood the underlying meaning of her words.She looked up at Britney and gave her a nod, smiling.

Britney was slightly baffled at the sight of Alice’s smiling face. Once again, she couldn’t help remindingAlice, “Um, please take a closer look at the ninth and tenth clauses.”

Alice gave her an affirmative nod once more as she replied, “I’ve read them carefully.”

True to her words, she had indeed looked at those two clauses specifically and read them cautiously.

“Do you understand the meaning behind this?” Britney pursed her lips and explained, “Six months later,you will leave the Knight Family and end your marriage with Ethan. You will have no further relationshipwith the Knights and cannot use any excuses to meet with Ethan again.”

It was the first time she had done something like this. She looked unnatural, but she had to play thevillain for her son’s sake.

“Yes, I know.” Alice continued to nod. The terms were stated clearly in the agreement, so there was noneed for an explanation from Britney, as she understood everything.

“Don’t worry. Our family will compensate you,” said Britney. She felt surprised and guilty that Alice wasso cooperative. Alice agreed to the agreement so readily, so Britney couldn’t help but feel guilty fordoing something like this.

“Okay.” Alice didn’t directly refuse her offer, as she could tell Britney felt guilty. Besides, if she hadrefused now, Britney might think she was still plotting something.

“Caroline will be staying with the Knight Family. You will have to slowly distance yourself from her soshe can gradually get used to living without you. This is for her own good.” Britney had thought thisthrough beforehand. At first, she had wanted to sound more assertive to prevent Alice from harboringany illusions or improper thoughts. However, now that she was reciting these words again, she didn’thave the imposing manner she had anticipated. Somehow, she even felt sheepish when she said it, butshe had to do so.

“Okay, I understand. Please rest assured, Mrs. Knight.” Alice had already mused over this issue, soshe didn’t think anything was wrong with her proposal.

On the contrary, she thought Britney was very thoughtful in considering Caroline’s condition.

“I’m not saying you can’t meet Caroline in the future. If you miss her or she misses you, you can stillsee each other.” Britney wasn’t heartless. She was merely worried about her son and didn’t want hislifelong happiness ruined.

She wasn’t good at making things difficult for others.

“Mrs. Knight, you will be a wonderful grandmother.” Alice suddenly smiled. She understood Britney’sthoughts and could see that she genuinely cared for Caroline.

“Who told you that?” Britney blushed a little before continuing, “As long as you don’t have any ideasabout Ethan, everything else will be fine.”

“Please don’t worry, Mrs. Knight. I know my place and why Mr. Knight wanted to marry me. I won’t thinkabout things I shouldn’t.” Alice had never thought about taking advantage of Ethan, so Britney’sconcern was unnecessary.

“You’re not as stupid as people say you are.” Britney was surprised by her understanding.

Alice smiled but didn’t explain further. Only a few people knew the truth about that matter. Naturally,she wouldn’t tell Britney, either.

“Do you need a job? I can arrange one for you in Knight Group.” Britney seemed a little regretful aftersuggesting this. Then, she added, “If you have a job, Caroline won’t be sticking to you every day.”

“Thanks, but no thanks. I can replace a job myself.” Alice directly refused the offer since she couldn’t workat Knight Group. According to the agreement, she would leave the Knight Family in half a year, so itwas best to avoid too much interaction.

Her parents’ revenge had yet settled, and there was also the matter of Apollo. She knew Ethan onlymarried her to bring Caroline back to the Knights. Thus, she never envisioned her marriage with Ethanwould last forever.

Six months. I can say goodbye to Mr. Knight and be free after that.

When Alice thought back to the time when Ethan stopped her at Irvin’s place, she wondered if he wasthe man from seven years ago.

She had initially thought that if Apollo were willing, she would talk to Ethan about doing a paternity test.However, with the newly signed agreement in hand, she temporarily set aside the idea of doing apaternity test. Perhaps, she was overthinking, or maybe he wasn’t there to stop her that day. After all,she didn’t look like herself at all as she had disguised herself when she went to Irvin’s place. Moreover,Ethan didn’t even mention anything about it when they met yesterday.

He didn’t bring up the events from seven years ago, nor did he mention stopping someone.

Perhaps, she was just overthinking. Maybe, it was all just a coincidence.

Alice came out of the study. Just as she was about to replace Caroline, her phone suddenly rang.

When she saw it was a call from Bruce, she raised her eyebrow slightly. It took him three days to finallydiscover the problem?! Such a speed is slower than a snail moving its house! She couldn’t help herselfcomplaining in her mind.

She had previously overestimated his ability. She had realized he was not only a scoundrel but alsohad no business acumen.

She let the phone ring without answering, and as soon as the ringtone ceased, it started ringing again.This went on for a while, with Bruce making five calls in a row and showing no signs of giving up.

It was clear that he was anxious.

Of course, he was anxious. Each of the traps Alice had set up for him was enough to make him lose hishead.

She finally answered when the phone rang for the sixth time as she wanted to see what problem hehad discovered after three days. I can’t wait to see which land mine he has dug up.
