Mr. Sterling, Mrs. Sterling is Multifaceted!-Chapter 225: Only Her in His Eyes
Her face turned the color of a pigβs liver, unable to utter even the simplest of syllables.
Now she clearly understood that the man in front of her had no feelings for her at all.
But, why... ππ«ππ²ππππ§π πππ₯.πππ
She believed herself to be more talented and resourceful than Seraphina Redgrave, even willing to die for Ethan Sterling! Yet, why would Ethan only like her?
Tears slipped down from the corner of Selena Quinnβs eyes.
Ethan Sterling showed no mercy, continuing his fierce actions.
Selena Quinnβs vision gradually blurred, her hands slipped powerlessly.
Suddenly, Ethan withdrew his hand, and without support, Selena collapsed to the ground.
Lying on the ground, everything before her turned dark, a buzzing noise filled her ears. Selena desperately gasped for air, limbs feeling no warmth, heart filled with despair.
After an unknown span of time, Ethan crouched in front of her, saying word by word, "Selena Quinn, stop targeting my woman. This is the only time I will say this."
Selenaβs pupils trembled, her face turned pale.
"If I find out again that someone is harmed because of you, like releasing snakes..."
So thatβs the reason.
Selena was relieved it wasnβt about sending people to kill Seraphina Redgrave.
Thankfully, she did it with great secrecy, she believed Ethan wouldnβt find any evidence.
Struggling, Selena propped herself up, "Brother, those snakes have nothing to do with me. I really like Sylvia, why would I let someone do such a thing?"
"It was all because they wanted to curry favor with me, so they framed Sylvia. At that moment, I really felt guilty. If Sylvia had been hurt because of it, I would have been willing to..."
"Then why donβt you just die?"
Ethan squatted down, looking at Selena, his gaze deadly cold, "Selena, youβre just an adopted daughter. I kept you around because you were well-behaved, but if you harm my people even a little bit, even if I donβt do it myself, I can make you wish you were dead."
"!"
Selena Quinn stared in horror at the man in front of her, unable to utter a word for a long time.
She hated.
Hated not Ethan Sterling, but Seraphina Redgrave, and herself.
Why wouldnβt Ethan see her goodness, why be so cruel? She was his savior.
"Do you understand?"
Ethan coldly asked.
"Understood." Selenaβs voice was hoarse and unpleasant, "I will keep my distance from her and wonβt let others harm her because of me."
"Fine, but this is your last chance to stay alive. If thereβs a next time, even if you merely touch her belongings, you should jump into a river yourself. Otherwise, wait for me to act, and youβll die a more miserable death."
After speaking, Ethan stood up from the ground, took his watch, and left without a backward glance.
Selena propped herself up, her heart ached unbearably. His words just now seemed like a knife piercing deep into her heart.
He had no evidence; it was all his speculation, yet he treated her like this based on mere guesses.
How could he!
"Brother, did she risk her life for you?"
Selena mustered all her strength to shout these words.
Ethan paused in his steps, turned back, and his hand that was fastening the cuff also stopped.
"Brother, what has she done for you? Why do your eyes only have her?"
Selena asked unwillingly.
Only her? Indeed, it seemed that way.
In Ethanβs heart, every aspect of Seraphina Redgrave satisfied his taste.
She filled the void in his heart, and that was enough.
Therefore, there was no space for anyone else in his eyes.
Ethan imagined another woman forcing her way into his sight. No, just the thought disgusted him.
"Only her."
Only her.
No one else.
After saying this, Ethan walked out the conference room door.
Behind him, Selena gripped her palm tightly, faintly drawing blood drops.
...
Outside, Seraphina Redgrave stood to the side, seeing Ethan walk out, she blinked her clear eyes.
Seeing his own woman, Ethan gave a genuine smile.
"Waiting just for me? Missing your man that much?"
"..."
Seraphina pursed her lips, not responding to him.
She looked at the conference room, her eyes full of complexity.
She heard everything clearly just now.
Ethan wanted to kill Selena Quinn.
With that, there was no possibility of them being together anymore.
Seeing that figure on the ground, Seraphina thought self-mockingly: The plan ended before it even began, such useless things.
On the open stadium stood two opposing goals, appearing adversarial but inseparable.
The blood-red sunset hung on the horizon, staining the grass with a tint of red.
Seraphina and Ethan sat in the stands, silently, neither spoke.
After a long time, Seraphina broke the silence, "Arenβt you too busy to have time? Why are you still bothering with me?"
Seraphina had told Ethan before, it was just a show of force against her, but he still continued investigating.
He even found it linked to Selena Quinn.
Truthfully, Selenaβs actions were clever. After all, she didnβt simply let others deal with him, yet she still avenged her.
It seems, Ethan has no interest in her at all.
"I just like it." Ethan answered awkwardly.
"Thank you."
No matter what, Ethan was helping her, she should say thank you.
After speaking, Seraphina handed the bottle of opened water to Ethan.
Although the plan was shattered, unexpectedly she didnβt feel upset inside.
After all, it didnβt cause her any loss.
"Just one bottle of water?"
Ethan took the bottle, gulped down a few mouthfuls, and said harshly, "If I find out who sent someone to kill you, would you reward me with a cup of coffee?"
Just this?
Seraphina didnβt dwell on his dissatisfied tone, instead catching another key point, "Youβre still investigating the assassinβs matter?"
She thought it was already in the past.
"Oh, I donβt plan to investigate anymore." Ethan replied.
After all, it was only worth a cup of coffee.
Ethan disdainfully looked at the water in his hand but still didnβt throw it away.
Seraphina smiled helplessly, turning her head, looking into the distance.
It was a colorful sky, the light from the setting sun was like golden sharp swords piercing the sky.
Seraphina caressed the bracelet on her wrist, feeling somewhat bitter inside.
Ethan noticed something wrong with her, asked in a deep voice, "Whatβs wrong?"
There was a hint of sadness in Seraphinaβs eyes.
She raised her hand, showing Ethan the jade bracelet, "Do you remember it?"
"Electronic bracelet?"
Ethan was slightly surprised.
"No, itβs an electronic shackle."
Seraphina chuckled, trying to twist the bracelet, but it was in vain, "Ever since the shackle was covered, I kept forgetting my identity. I thought I was a normal person, but look, it doesnβt turn."
