Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Unrealistic Desires 3
Edward Stephens glanced at his hands, his voice low and cold: "Let go."
"Edward Stephens, you...!"
Zoe Hilker ran over, grabbed Ethan Pond’s arm. She had a cold and fever, sneezed, and said nasally, "Daisy was taken away by Ian Linton. Why are you questioning Edward? Are you an idiot!"
Ethan Pond gritted his teeth and glared at Edward Stephens, "Aren’t you close with Ian Linton? Can’t you see Daisy’s been kidnapped by him? Edward Stephens, what else can you do besides having this face?"
Edward Stephens narrowed his eyes slightly, expressionless as he pressed the cigarette butt onto Ethan Pond’s hand. The man exclaimed "ouch" and quickly withdrew his hand. Edward sneered, "Are the eyes on your face just for decoration?"
Ethan Pond was annoyed just looking at him, clenched his fist, and provoked, "Do you want to fight?"
Zoe Hilker had to tug on Ethan Pond’s clothes, softly reminding him, "Ethan, it’s Daisy who’s close to Ian Linton... Don’t you remember on Daisy’s birthday, Ian Linton gave her a birthday gift? She was very happy and even told us in the group."
Ethan Pond frowned slightly and cursed under his breath, "Damn." Since Daisy Ginger hadn’t realized Ian Linton’s true nature, he had nothing more to say.
Edward Stephens rolled his eyes at him, threw the cigarette butt into the trash, leaned against the door, and unconsciously furrowed his brows.
These days, his brow had never relaxed for even a few minutes; he couldn’t relax even in his sleep.
A police car stopped at the door.
Chloe Brooke and her parents were escorted out of the car by the police.
She appeared dazed, her bright little face looking pitifully pale in the night.
Ethan Pond glanced at her a few times, discovered something, and withdrew his gaze, cursing under his breath again: "Damn."
Zoe Hilker quietly asked, "What’s wrong?"
Ethan Pond: "Don’t you think, his wife looks like someone?"
Zoe Hilker glanced at Chloe Brooke a few times, then softly said, "I’ve been wanting to say that..."
Then she thought of Ian Linton’s previous fiancée, shivered a little involuntarily.
If it hadn’t come to light, no one would connect these two things.
And now, she couldn’t help but wonder—over the years, how many stand-ins had Ian Linton sought for Daisy Ginger, how many women had he hurt?
The thought that someone in Banyan City coveted Daisy Ginger so intensely made Zoe Hilker shudder.
Ethan Pond also fell silent, watching as Chloe Brooke and her family were led into the interrogation room by the police. Possibly because Chloe Brooke looked so pitiful, Ethan Pond cursed again and vented his anger towards Edward Stephens.
In a low voice, he said, "If you had come back earlier, you wouldn’t have given other men an opportunity."
Had Ian Linton’s inappropriate thoughts about Daisy Ginger not arisen because you weren’t around in recent years, giving him room to fantasize?
"..." Edward Stephens raised his head, glanced at Ethan Pond, and calmly said, "That’s why I’m back now."
Ethan Pond was taken aback, frowned at him, and then heard Edward Stephens say, "It still wasn’t up to me this time. Look at yourself, you can’t handle anything important."
Ethan Pond: "..."
The goodwill aroused by Edward Stephens’ previous words vanished instantly. Ethan Pond clenched his fist and walked up, saying to Edward Stephens, "I think you really want me to beat you up."
