30 Days of Passion and Revenge-Chapter 56: Veiled Intent

After a quick shower, Lily walked into the dressing room and casually picked out clothes.

This dressing room is quite large. All the clothes, trousers, socks, bags, and accessories are from a brand under Blackwood Enterprise in Europe, an expensive, famous brand.

Categorized and archived, it looks like walking into a brand store.

According to Nanny, the latest season and models are delivered to this dressing room every other week for replacement.

The Blackwood villa used to accept men’s clothing only, and after she moved in, Ethan also prepared a dressing room for her.

But she is usually in the villa, accustomed to the comfortable dress of pajamas, and has never entered this dressing room.

She casually picked out a light-colored long skirt and put on a beige long windbreaker with black stockings, which she matched with soft leather small high-heeled short boots. The skirt’s fabric was smooth against her skin, and the boots made a soft sound as she walked.

Lily stood in front of the dressing mirror, hands on her hips, and the image in the mirror immediately had a bit of a scholarly little woman’s taste.

It’s alright. She has always been used to dressing simply, with a sweater and a skirt, and occasionally feels good to be scholarly.

Ethan was sitting in the downstairs hall, making a phone call.

Lily walked over quietly, and before she got close to the sofa where he was sitting, she heard Ethan’s cold and fierce voice.

"Before dawn tomorrow, drop the stock price of Carter Group to thirty-one dollars."

Carter Group.

A sudden wave of shock struck Lily, her figure freezing in place.

She doesn’t understand the pros and cons of the commercial war. Still, this simple sentence is enough to let her know that Ethan is not only using public opinion to suppress Carter Group but also deliberately confusing and lowering its stock price.

"Don’t bother me with the losses; just tell me how much you’ll report tomorrow." Ethan’s voice was icy, especially when dealing with official business. "And if I don’t see the stock price of Carter Group at thirty-one dollars tomorrow, I’ll withdraw my support from you."

Smash hard money also to lower the stock price of Carter Group?

Is Ethan’s targeting of Carter Group endless?

If he continues to attack like this, what use is it for her to change the public’s image of Carter Group in the public opinion...

Lily frowned and stood there with many thoughts in her heart.

Ethan’s targeting is very malicious, and she doesn’t know other methods to protect Alex and the Carter Group.

She felt a deep sense of her limitations.

"Snap——"

Ethan ended the call on his state-of-the-art smartphone, swiftly swiping away the screen. His usually composed face shifted subtly to a look of impatience.

He would call that woman himself; she might have fallen asleep in the bathroom!

Ethan stood up from the sofa agitatedly, turned around, and saw Lily standing behind him.

"Lily! You came downstairs without a sound?!"

Ethan growled with a furrowed brow, but a second later, his brows quickly relaxed.

Lily seemed... different today.

It was not like her usual college student innocence and simplicity, nor like when she wore an overly mature, low-cut evening gown. There was a taste between the two, both elegant and subtly pure.

The color beige suited her clean and fair skin very well.

Under the long trench coat with double-breasted buttons, her legs in black stockings were straight and slender.

The image of her in his shirt came to mind, full of intentional temptation.

It has to be said that this woman knows how to dress herself very well, even better than those so-called chief stylists, simply yet not losing the style that catches people’s attention.

More importantly, it suits his taste very well.

"Lily." Ethan approached her from in front of the sofa, his gaze blatantly falling on her beautiful legs, his thin lips slightly opening, "A woman in black stockings is a temptation to men."

Lily glanced down at her legs; they looked perfectly normal.

"Only those with evil thoughts would think the whole world is evil." Lily retorted lightly, her gaze falling on the phone beside the sofa.

How could she help Alex Carter...

There might need to be more than the photo of Alice hugging a foreigner...

Hearing this, Ethan did not get angry but laughed, lifting her chin with one hand and forcing her to look up at him.

"Lily, I’m not just evil in thought; you know that better than anyone." Ethan stared at her face and said word by word.

She certainly knew.

He was evil not only in thought but also from inside to outside, from top to bottom; there was no single clean spot on him.

A beast in human clothing, that was the best interpretation of him.

Worried he would do something to her here, she pointed to the wristwatch, kindly reminding him, "We should leave."

"I’m changing clothes." Ethan nodded, still wearing a bathrobe, patted her cheek, and then turned to leave.

Lily looked at the phone again, thinking of Ethan’s instructions to suppress the Carter Group over the phone, and couldn’t help but ask, "Are you still dealing with the Carter Group?"

Ethan stopped and looked back at her, "So what if I am?"

"How far are you going to strike?" Lily asked, trying to make her tone sound normal as if asking about something that had nothing to do with her.

"Naturally, it depends on my mood."

Ethan said it as a matter of course. Seeing her apricot eyes thinking about something, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you interested?"

"Nothing."

Lily said indifferently.

She was not interested in how he destroyed other companies; she just wanted to know what to do so that Alex Carter could overcome this difficulty.

She lived cautiously by Ethan’s side daily, and Ethan was capricious. She didn’t know whether to ask him to let the Carter Group go, whether Ethan would beat her or casually agree...

"If you’re interested, I can teach you how to play an international company in the palm of your hand."

Ethan said with an unparalleled tone and turned to leave.

"..."

Lily stood in place, staring at his back, speechless with anger.

Ethan probably still thought she hated the Carter Group.

If she had known that so many things would happen after she called Ethan for help at the police station that night, she would never have made the call.

She would rather stay in the detention room for a lifetime.

As long as it doesn’t involve Alex Carter, it doesn’t include the man she loves...

The black Ferrari slowly drove out of the Blackwood villa. Lily sat in the back seat, looking at the man holding her many times.

Ethan changed his clothes into a men’s long trench coat, double-breasted, elegant beige.

Beige is a very gentle color, which has subdued a lot of his violent aura.

It was the same season as the women’s trench coat she was wearing, a couple’s outfit.

Was this man deliberately doing this?

How did she not know he had the hobby of wearing couple’s outfits with his mistress?

His hand was around her waist. Lily turned her head speechlessly to look at the night view of the bustling and lively city outside. Couples holding roses walked close to each other on the street, whispering from time to time and laughing together from time to time.
