The Grants: Choosing One Between The Two-Chapter 76: Yvette Learns the Truth Behind Ethan’s Mother’s Death
Jayden Grant was taken away by the police, but the business convention carried on as usual.
Ethan Grant remained the brightest presence at the dinner, with countless people wanting to get close and curry favor with him.
But Ethan Grant’s face always warned strangers to stay away.
This man, who held an absolute position in the business world, seemed to be born with an aura of superiority.
"Mr. Grant, are you interested in having a drink?" A female celebrity approached, trying to get to know Ethan Grant.
Everyone in the circle knew Ethan Grant was not interested in women and was difficult to approach, but there were always those who thought they had a chance.
If Ethan Grant took an interest in her, it would be a meteoric rise.
The film company under Grant Group had always been a leader in the entertainment industry; who wouldn’t want to sign with Grant Group, who wouldn’t want to be an artist under Ethan Grant’s company.
"Sorry, Mr. Grant doesn’t drink." Christopher Carter smiled as he stepped forward, blocking the drink for Ethan Grant.
Ethan Grant held a champagne glass, constantly looking at his phone screen.
He was waiting for a call from the hospital.
No call meant Yvette Aston had not yet woken.
Frowning slightly, Ethan Grant felt he had gone too easy on Jayden Grant earlier.
...
Montville Hospital.
When Yvette Aston woke up, there was no one in the ward.
Taking a deep breath, Yvette Aston felt her throat was very dry.
The breathing mask had a plastic smell which made Yvette feel uncomfortable.
Frowning and struggling, she felt completely powerless.
She was actually still alive.
The dizziness was overwhelming, a side effect of excessive blood loss eventually came.
"Miss Aston, you’re awake." A nurse came in, hurriedly helping Yvette Aston. "Don’t move for now, stay lying down for a while."
Yvette Aston curled up slightly, her stomach cramping painfully.
Walking too long in the freezing snow last night, her body could not handle it.
"Miss Aston, is it your period?" The nurse saw bloodstains on the bed and quickly ran to fetch sanitary pads.
Yvette Aston had lost quite a lot of blood last night, although treated in time, it coincided with her period, this period would be tough.
Saying thank you, Yvette Aston removed the blood oximeter from her hand, supporting herself to get out of bed.
"Where are you going? Mr. Grant said to rest well in the hospital, he is coming over soon." The nurse had already immediately called Ethan Grant.
"The restroom." Yvette Aston entered the restroom, locking the door behind her.
Sitting on the toilet, Yvette Aston rubbed her aching temples.
On impulse last night, she had called Ethan Grant.
But now she needed to clear her mind about one thing, she couldn’t stay by Henry Jennings’s side, because he wouldn’t break off his engagement with Claudia Bell.
As long as Henry Jennings didn’t break off the engagement, she would never choose to stay by his side.
Now she had completely offended Jayden Grant, Stellan Aston, and the Bell Family, if she didn’t want to drop the case, these people wouldn’t let her go.
As of now, only Ethan Grant could protect her.
But why would Ethan Grant help her.
What could she give Ethan Grant...
Raising her hand to bite her finger, Yvette Aston’s anxiety flared up again.
She must quickly figure out a solution, or she would really die.
Her body trembled stiffly, her hands shook continuously, anxiety had long since become physical, making life feel worse than death.
What could she give Ethan Grant? To make an equivalent exchange.
"What is the relationship between Miss Aston and Ethan Grant? I’ve never seen Ethan Grant show interest in any woman before."
"That’s Ethan Grant we’re talking about, I’ve only seen him in the news before. Have you heard about the Grant Family’s scandals, regarding Ethan Grant and his brother Jayden Grant in their family feud?"
"I heard that, Jayden Grant’s mother was Ethan Grant’s father’s mistress, after harming his mother to death, the mistress took her position, and wanted to bring a pair of twins to fight for the Grant Family’s inheritance, to seize Grant Group’s succession rights."
Even the little nurses at the hospital had heard about the various scandals of the Grant Family.
Yvette Aston, sitting in the restroom, paused while biting her finger.
She knew a secret...
Ethan Grant’s mother was indeed harmed by Jayden Grant’s mother, she had heard it with her own ears.
While the rumors outside might be false, sometimes they were not baseless.
With Ethan Grant’s current status, it’s impossible for him not to know the real cause of his mother’s death, he and Jayden Grant had always been estranged.
Jayden Grant had also countless times said he wanted to take everything away from Ethan Grant, to pull him off the pedestal and trample him.
"Mr. Grant!"
Ethan Grant arrived, the little nurse anxiously and shyly shouted. "Miss Aston is in the restroom, she still hasn’t come out."
Ethan Grant glanced at the restroom, walked quickly over. "Yvette?"
Yvette Aston got up in panic, hurriedly opened the restroom door.
Ethan Grant just happened to open the door, and the two collided into each other’s arms.
Instinctively stepping back, Yvette Aston nervously lowered her head. "Thank you..."
Ethan Grant sighed in relief, though Yvette Aston didn’t look well, her neck wrapped in bandages, in general, she didn’t seem to be in life-threatening danger, unlike last night... 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
The cold touch made him feel like he was holding a dead body.
"Have you thought it over?" The nurse had left, Ethan Grant cornered Yvette Aston into the restroom, asking solemnly.
"The police came, I pretended to be asleep." Yvette Aston said softly, unsure of how to face it.
"What’s this? Still holding feelings for Jayden Grant?" Ethan Grant frowned, not looking pleased.
If after all Jayden Grant had done to her, she still held feelings for him, it was self-inflicted.
"Jayden Grant has a hundred ways to exonerate himself, I know him well." Yvette Aston clasped her hands tightly, looking up at Ethan Grant. "It’s unrealistic if Mr. Grant wants to use my injury to completely bring Jayden Grant down."
Ethan Grant squinted slightly, his eyes deeply gazing at Yvette Aston. "Oh?"
She thought he was helping her to crush Jayden Grant?
He would never stoop to using a woman to deal with Jayden Grant.
Moreover, Jayden Grant was not worth his exhaustive efforts.
"I’ve thought it through..." Yvette Aston mustered up the courage, looking directly into Ethan Grant’s eyes. "Earlier you said you needed a woman by your side to help you block some troubles... I can."
Yvette Aston tightened her grip, biting her lip corner, speaking again. "Mr. Grant, let’s cooperate, I know the murderer of your mother, and also the weaknesses of Jayden Grant and his mother, things you can’t conveniently do... I can do it."
What she could do was to help Ethan Grant, eliminate the threat that Jayden Grant and his mother posed to him.
As the eldest son of the family, if Ethan Grant went too far, he would be criticized.
But she was different.
As long as she could ensure the safety of Summers and Caden Summers, she would do anything.
Not afraid of death.
Ethan Grant’s eyes grew deeper, raising his hand to grip Yvette Aston’s chin.
Yvette Aston’s eyes were clear, yet not stupid.
She was calculating.
Calculating how to use him.
With a slight smile, Ethan Grant became more interested in Yvette Aston, curious to see what kind of surprise this woman could bring him.
"What do you know?" Ethan Grant’s voice was hoarse.
"I once heard Jayden Grant’s mother say, if she hadn’t bribed the sanatorium staff to switch out your mother’s medication, then Jayden Grant would still be hiding at the moment, merely an illegitimate child who couldn’t make it."
Yvette Aston’s gaze blazed as she looked at Ethan Grant, fearing he wouldn’t believe her. "I’m not lying, you can investigate..."
"Does Melody Crowe know you overheard their conversation?" Ethan Grant frowned and asked.
Melody Crowe was Jayden Grant’s mother.
