Mr. Sterling, Mrs. Sterling is Multifaceted!-Chapter 316: I Don’t Want to Stand on the Opposite Side of You
To put it bluntly, between a man and a woman, it’s just about what happens in bed, yet Ethan Sterling took it seriously, blew it up to this scale, it’s really too much.
"This is not a gamble, it’s about spoiling my woman." Ethan Sterling sneered at him, "You’re alone, you wouldn’t understand at all."
"..."
Even at this point, he still has to show off.
Miles Harrington sighed, thought for a moment, got up from the chair, and turned to leave.
Ethan Sterling leaned back, not making a sound to keep him, just sat there, arms crossed, watching Miles Harrington’s back, his fingers tapping rhythmically on his arm.
Miles Harrington raised his hand to grip the doorknob, the sound of it turning was particularly loud in the empty space, somewhat harsh.
Ethan Sterling remained seated, not stopping him.
Miles Harrington paused, as if having a fierce internal struggle, after a long while, he suddenly released his hand, turned back step by step toward Ethan Sterling, his expression very grave as he spoke his final decision, "Ethan Sterling, I don’t want to stand on the opposite side of you."
"Good, you won’t regret it." Ethan Sterling answered certainly.
"I’m not afraid of you pressuring me, I just don’t want to see those scenes from before, so many people ganging up on you, and yet you were all alone."
Back then, it was a crowd of servants opposing him, and now, what stands against him are the entire financial circles of Sovereign.
Miles Harrington stated seriously, his gaze on Ethan Sterling also filled with heaviness. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Ethan Sterling still sat there, hearing his words, the sharpness in his eyes softened, yet he said, "Alright, don’t act like this unless it’s my woman, I don’t want it to seem like there are deep feelings with anyone else."
"..."
Miles Harrington sat back in the same chair and asked, "Ethan Sterling, honestly, have you ever thought, you could have Seraphina Redgrave undergo surgery, or let her secretly strategize from behind her faction, then rebuild Veridian Isle, wouldn’t this kind of risk be much lower?"
He could compromise, compromise to this extent.
"No matter how safe your method sounds, if she does these things, one day she’ll have to clash with the financial tycoons, I don’t want her to bear that risk."
Ethan Sterling’s words were filled with infinite indulgence.
It’s not that he doesn’t want her to bear it, but rather he simply can’t handle the blow of losing her once more.
Only then did Miles Harrington finally understand, the torment that Seraphina suffered this time had utterly frightened Ethan Sterling, making him willing to let go and fight for her without any reservation.
Given that, what’s left to say?
Once decided, then proceed.
Miles Harrington heaved a long sigh, straightened his back, pulled over a stack of documents in front of him, and began discussing business with Ethan Sterling, "How long do you plan to start the operations? Even if your first move is to control all the financial groups in Sovereign, you’ll need a lot of manpower, and any mistake would give them a chance to team up against you."
This is no trivial matter.
"The financial groups in Z country have always been like loose sand, now that I’m taking the initiative to attack, they won’t find the chance to unite."
Ethan Sterling’s gaze fell on the document, and he said deeply, "At the latest, by tomorrow evening, all the financial groups in Sovereign will be under restriction, and the day after tomorrow, you can openly hold them accountable on your end, resolving everything before international forces get involved."
The pace must be as fast as possible.
Miles Harrington understood Ethan Sterling’s thought, so he nodded, "Alright, I’ll start preparing as soon as I return, you must be careful, ensure zero leaks."
If they catch the financial tycoons off guard, they won’t have the chance to unite, hence it seems, Ethan Sterling’s plan could likely succeed, at least without plunging Z country into too much turmoil.
"Alright."
Ethan Sterling nodded, about to say something, when suddenly a sharp pain pierced his head, like a dagger repeatedly slicing his nerves, turning into chaos.
"What’s wrong!"
Miles Harrington saw his face turn pale suddenly, quite bewildered.
"I’m fine."
Ethan Sterling gritted his teeth, tightened his jawline, opened the drawer beside him, found a small medicine bottle, poured out two pills and tossed them into his mouth, swallowing them with water.
Ever since taking that smuggling boat, he had started having hallucinations, not only that, but also this sudden headache.
"Your injury hasn’t healed yet, you have so much to think about, look at you, if not for Sterling, where else could you go to get treatment?" Miles Harrington expressed some concern, "Maybe you should wait until you’re better before proceeding."
Ultimately, the situation wouldn’t be any different.
"No."
Ethan Sterling held his head, answering decisively.
He didn’t know how long the manic gene in his body could be suppressed, if that day wasn’t far, then he must help her fulfill her wish.
...
After discussing business, the two of them descended the stairs together, in the living room, Seraphina Redgrave was still getting the electronic handcuffs removed.
She sat upright on the sofa, her handcuffed hand placed on the armrest.
A glaring spark flashed.
One of the staff, wearing a special mask, and with a tool of unknown material, emitted purple sparks as it gradually cut the electronic handcuff from her wrist.
Seraphina Redgrave looked down at it all, after three years, it was her first time seeing this handcuff loosening, her gaze wavered.
She had thought she would see this day, but not until she had rebuilt Veridian Isle, yet now it was happening in this villa.
"Now, I’m going to start removing the handcuffs completely." The staff explained, "Since the handcuffs have long fused with your flesh, to avoid leaving any residue in your skin, so I..."
"It’s fine, go ahead."
Seraphina Redgrave knew exactly what he was going to say, it was going to be cut from her flesh.
"Alright."
The staff took out a specialized blade and medical alcohol swabs.
Ethan Sterling and Miles Harrington stood on the stairs without moving, watching everything from afar.
Ethan Sterling lowered his eyes, seeing that person holding the blade, leaning close to Seraphina Redgrave’s wrist, directly cutting into her flesh through the gap.
Seraphina Redgrave’s face instantly turned pale, her brows furrowed tightly, her whole body tensed, and her other hand gripped tightly, trying to divert some of the pain.
Seeing Seraphina Redgrave in this state, Ethan Sterling charged down in big strides, kicking at that person, knocking him over, his face as dark as it could be, "Why the hell didn’t you use anesthesia?"
Sick of living?
