Chapter 7 The Night of Truth

When Ethan put the phone to his assistant, the assistant was full of questions, "director-general, we've already communicated with our lawyers, as long as we prosecute, we'll at least get a life sentence ... or not ... "

"Drop the charges."

Ethan ordered him, "Within ten minutes, prepare the conditions Clara proposed and contact the police to lock the signal location."

The assistant didn't dare to say anything more.

Ten minutes later, Ethan sends a screenshot of the transfer and the airfare to Clara. clara returns him a smiling emoji along with a picture -

A soaked Thea tied to a chair in a very uncomfortable position, her hair loose and her eyes full of fear.

Ethan's eyes went wild with anger and he nearly crushed his cell phone.

Clara!

Meanwhile, a call came in from the police.

"Mr. Ethan, there's just been another signal fluctuation, the location has been locked, it's near the airport, we're ready to go out now."

Ethan snatched the steering wheel from his bodyguard's hand, slammed on the gas, and turned toward the Beltway-

*****

It was raining throughout the city.

Inside the abandoned warehouse next to the airport.

Thea was tied up by the window, her clothes drying and wetting, wetting and drying, her body was frozen and kept shivering, the wounds inside her body that hadn't healed, in the struggle, tore open once again, blood dripping down her pants, dripping a piece of ...

She was numb with pain.

Dullly looked at Clara sitting on the opposite side of the sofa, voice hoarse and desperate, "Why ..."

What had she done wrong!

Clara was still fiddling with the video playback device in her hand, trying the password over and over again.

Smiling coldly at her words, "Why do you say? Your presence is the biggest mistake of all!"

"If it wasn't for you, Noah would have married a girl from the right side of the family ... We, mother and son, would never have to be under Ethan's thumb again! Much less would my Noah have died so early! You killed my only son ... and you dare ask me why?!"

All Thea could think was ridiculous, "Your only son? Ethan wasn't your son?"

Clara gritted her teeth, "He deserves it!"

As she spoke, her fingers pressed some random number and the code was surprisingly unlocked.

The voice of a long-dormant man echoed through the warehouse-

"Thea, I don't know when you're going to see this video, but I have a confession to make-"

In an instant, Thea's eyes turned red.

Infinite grievances flooded her heart ... If Noah hadn't died, if ...

"Actually, I married you, not because I like you, but because Ethan likes you."

A moment of heaven, a moment of hell.

Thea's fingers clenched suddenly.

"Since I was a child, as long as it is something I care about ...Ethan not a single one! From the father, to the identity of the name ... to the family's property ... on the heart of the means which I am not better than him! Just because he has a good mom, he can enjoy all this in peace?!"

"... But the good thing is, I finally won once. The day I married you ... that man who never had his nose in the air and was so high and mighty, warned me ... with a sob to be nice to you ... hehe! Had I known that! Why bother in the beginning! Didn't he despise me? I really want to ask him! How he feels when the thing he begged for moans under me!"

"It can't be ...," Thea muttered, her pupils lax.

The voice continued to rip out the bloody truth-

"In order to give you a secure life, Ethan gave me a ten percent share ... hahaha! You don't know, he's so disgustingly pathetic! By the way ... I whored around and cheated on my wife and kept a lover, he knew all about it, but in order not to let you feel bad, he helped me to cover it up ... Tsk, I really didn't think that he was actually a big lover!"

"But I want more than that! I want all that Ethan has! Don't worry, when I fake a car accident and kill him, I'll give you this video as our divorce gift ... With your kind of background, it's already a blessing of eight lifetimes to be my wife for a few years ..."

There were some broken words after that, but Thea couldn't hear anything.

She only heard Clara say that she was leaving on a plane, not the flight Ethan had booked ...

Clara also told the kidnappers to take care of her ...

And then--

Four or five kidnappers ... sticky and viper-like hands climbed on her body ... ripped off her already unbearable clothes and pressed her hard to the ground ...

The body tearing pain and the heart of the pain that goes deep into the bone marrow, such as the sound of this incessant rain, completely drowned her--

"Ethan--"

Thea screamed, waking up from her bed.

From the bottom bunk came the muttering of her roommate Aurora-

"Thea, stop screaming, it's only December, why are you in heat!"

Thea rubbed her eyes and sat up, a magazine fell on her-

On the cover of the magazine, the man in a suit is handsome and stylish, with deep eyes, and the headline underneath reads- Surprise: President Ethan publicly stated that he will remain single and will not marry for the rest of his life!

Thea rubbed her hair in agony, trying to remember the dream she had just had, but she couldn't remember the details, only that there was a man in the dream, named Ethan?

Probably really got horny.

She was a senior at a third-rate university, what could she possibly have to do with Ethan, the richest president in the country?

Thea picked up the pillow and tried to find her cell phone under the pillow.

Instead, she realized that the pillow was wet ...

Is it a tear?

With a questioning look on her face, Thea removed the pillowcase and prepared to hand wash it later.

Aurora at the bottom sighed and said, "Thea, I'm so jealous of you, you only get your period once every three to five months, hey, I can't drink iced coke again this week."

Thea's head was full of black lines, "What kind of coke are you drinking in winter!"

Moving down the stairs slowly, Thea walked towards the washroom while thinking about her body ...

It's obviously not normal for her to have her period only once every three to five months! But no matter which hospital she went to ... the doctor always said with a kind face that people have different body types ...

I don't know what to say! The doctor said there is no problem, then certainly no problem ah!

Fifteen minutes later, after drying her clothes Thea heard her roommate Aurora's screams again-

"Great news!!!"

Aurora rushes over to Thea like a madwoman and shows her the message from the class group-

"Today at 3:30pm, Ethan's company is coming to the school to recruit, as long as the graduating class of finance majors, female only, please make sure you bring your resume to the conference room on the third floor of the teaching building."

Surprisingly, it was Ethan's company?

Thea stared at the message incredulously, "Is it the Ethan's company I know? The nation's number one conglomerate? The guest of honor at the IRS?"

"How can this be fake?!" Aurora's eyes lit up with excitement, "The counselor wouldn't have mass-mailed it if it was fake! Hurry up! Get your resume ready!"

******

It was half past three in the afternoon.

The conference room of Ninghai University was packed.

Aurora pulled Thea to sit in the last row and excitedly pointed at the interviewer-

"See, the woman in the middle with glasses is the supervisor specializing in personnel at Ethan's company, do you think she'll let me in?"

"And the guy next to him, who is often in magazines, is the spokesperson for Ethan's company's news department, even more handsome in person than in the video!"

...

"It is pretty handsome." Thea whispered in agreement.

"Students in the last row! Please remain silent!" The supervisor, who had honed his hearing from somewhere, stabbed his stern eyes at Thea's two positions, "Get out if you don't want to apply for the job! Don't lower the quality of your entire school's graduates!"

These words were quite a bit meant to look down on Ninghai University.

But Ethan's company had always only recruited for famous schools like Oxford, Harvard, and Stanford, so if a certain graduate of a university like theirs could go to Ethan's company, it would be enough to go on the school's honor roll!

So what if you are disliked? Ethan's company has this kind of confidence!

When the counselor saw this scene, he was busy pulling Thea and the two of them out, and smiled bitterly, "Forget it, you two don't put in your resumes, it's useless even if you do, there will be a few more local companies' recruitment meeting later, you guys go and take up the position first."

Aurora was indignant and was about to defend herself.

Thea pulled her back and shook her head, "Forget it, there are so many people, even if we hand in our resumes, we won't necessarily be able to get them in front of the personnel director ..."

"Right, pissing off Ethan's company, in case they never come to our school to recruit again in the future, I'm afraid that if the school leaders get angry, your diplomas will be in danger."

The counselor half coaxed and half threatened to persuade the two away.
