"The entire wealthy circle in Seattle knew how much Stella Carlson loved Aaron Malone. People watched the childhood sweethearts grow from inexperience to maturity, finally getting married in a grand wedding ceremony.

On the day of the wedding, despite the alliance between the Carlson and Malone families, the groom ran away. Stella knew that Aaron had rushed to L.A. to take care of his ex-girlfriend, who had attempted suicide.

Unwilling to become the laughingstock of all Seattle, she gritted her teeth and dialed the number of her adversary, her tone almost commanding, "Ethan, come and marry me now. This is your only chance for revenge."

On the other end, Ethan Powers raised an eyebrow as he gripped his phone, staring at the floor littered with cigarette butts. "Did the groom run away?" he asked. "My darling."

Upon hearing Ethan's words, Stella was momentarily stunned. She regained her composure, thought for a moment, and then pulled him to the study.

She couldn't gauge Ethan's attitude towards Alex. But when she went to see Alex in the afternoon, the Fang family's nanny treated Alex like a burden and left after packing his things. Stella couldn't bring herself to leave a six-year-old child alone in the apartment.


Seeing her expression, Ethan pursed his lips and raised an eyebrow slightly. "What, still feeling guilty? Could it be that the child really has something to do with you?"


As far as he knew, there weren't any relatives in the Carlson family with such a child. And on her mother's side, there was only an uncle who was a diplomat, who wasn't even in the country.
