(Short Author's Note: Sorry for the long wait! After the exams, there are still a lot of Performance Tasks to do so it took me much longer to update than I expected. Thank you for being patient with me and for sending me lots of love. My heart is bursting with joy! ❤️ hope you enjoy this chapter ????)

Tension brewed inside HL Corp's guest lounge. After being notified by Assistant Yu of this smiling idiot's presence, Ethan did not know what he was thinking when he came down to greet this 'peculiar' guest.

”What are you doing here?” He demanded.

Wei Fang's smile did not left his face. ”Now, now, Mr. Li, no need to be so stiff. I just came here with a...proposition.”

”I'm not interested.”

”I wouldn't be so sure if I were you. You haven't listen to it yet.”

”I'm. Not. Interested.” Ethan repeated with more force.

Wei Fang raised his hands, ”Even if it's about Thea?”

Ethan's eyes narrowed, his expression evidently darkened his devilish face.

How dare this bastard call his wife with so much familiarity?

”I already know everything that concerns 'my wife'. I'm sure what you're about to tell is a matter I already know.” Ethan smirked when he saw the smile fade from Wei Fang when he emphasized that Lillie is his wife...soon.

Wei Fang hid that he was affected by brushing it off with a smile once again.

”Oh? What if I tell you I know who were the real perpetrator behind the incident that happened to Thea ten years ago?”

At the mere utter of what happened to Lillie that day, Ethan's blood immediately seethed.

His pupils dilated.

Assistant Yu gasped in fear and surprise when her boss grabbed their guest's collar, slamming him on the floor.

Mr. Li has not once let his calm demeanor down. Even when he's in an unforeseen situation, he would never lash out onto someone.

Wei Fang grunted in pain. He was sure that his back was bruised from the impact.

”I see what you're up to, Wei Fang. If you continue this idle talk, I'll make sure it'll be the end of you.” Ethan's fists clenched tightly on his collar, his air path being slowly compressed by the pressure.

Despite being in an uncomfortable situation, Wei Fang still had the audacity to chuckle.

”Caught...your interest...now, Mr. Li?” He breathlessly snarked the seething dragon.
