The Great Ethan Lee

Chapter 21

Vivian said nothing, just hugged Silvia tightly, crying her heart out.

Charles also wept. He grabbed Sophia's hand and said, "Sophia, it's all my fault. I failed you and your late mother. I didn't take good care of you, and left you suffering so much. It's all my fault."

Sophia looked at the elderly man with graying hair and remembered all the times he had shown her love when she was a child. Her emotions erupted.

She held his hand tightly, her eyes red. "Dad, I don't blame you! I never blamed you! No matter what, you'll always be my dad!"

Sophia wiped away her tears and picked up July. "Come on, July, call him Grandpa."

July looked at Charles, then softly said, "Gra... Grandpa."

Charles, deeply moved, took July from Sophia's arms, tears streaming down his face. "My good child! All these years, it was Grandpa who failed you and your mother!"

After his heartfelt confession, Charles wiped away his tears and looked at Ethan. "Ethan, thank you for coming into our lives. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known any of this. Sophia made the right choice. With you by her side, I can be at ease."

Ethan looked at Sophia with deep affection and smiled. "Don't worry. I will take good care of Sophia."

At that moment, Sophia also looked at Ethan, her face radiant with happiness. Meanwhile, Vivian and her daughter tried to sneak away in the crowd's ridicule.

Suddenly, Ethan's voice rang out, "Stop right there!"

Vivian, with nerves evident, spoke up, "We've lost everything because of you. Can't we just leave?"

Ethan's lips curled into a cold smile. "Leave? Do you think you can just leave peacefully after hurting my daughter?"

Vivian's face was full of panic. "What do you want? We did nothing wrong! I know you're powerful, but this is a society ruled by law!"

Ethan's sneer deepened. "Oh, you know it? Don't worry, I won't use any underhanded tactics against you."

Police sirens blared as several officers approached Vivian and Silvia. They pulled out an arrest warrant. "After investigation, you two are suspected of illegally embezzling others' property and maliciously selling commercial secrets. Furthermore, Silvia Harris is suspected of colluding with Lauren Duncan in criminal activities, including intentional injury and embezzlement."

The police handcuffed Vivian and Silvia. "According to the law, you are both under arrest."

Their faces turned ashen with despair.

Silvia suddenly lifted her head, her eyes red with hatred, glaring at Sophia. She spat out her words, "Sophia! This is all your fault! I swear that if I survive, one day I will make you beg for mercy. I will make you wish you were dead!"

Sophia instinctively turned pale at Silvia's mad outburst.

Seeing this, Ethan stepped in front of her. Facing Silvia's venomous curse, he remained unfazed. "Silvia, you don't wanna do it! Anyone who dares to harm my wife and daughter will be sent to hell by me!"

His powerful declaration echoed for a long time.

Facing Ethan, Silvia's face went pale, and she retreated repeatedly.

The wealthy ladies among the guests looked at Sophia with envy.

Ethan coldly watched as the malicious mother and daughter were taken away, showing no sympathy because they didn't deserve it.

Charles bowed apologetically to the guests, "I'm sorry you had to witness this."

The guests quickly reassured him:

"Mr. Harris, don't worry. Today's events will stay within these walls. No one will speak of it outside..."

"Yes, yes, we are just here for the banquet. We didn't see anything!"

"Right, right, we come to enjoy the feast. We don't know anything, ha ha..."

Although they didn't know Ethan's true identity, seeing how the top dignitaries treated him with respect, the guests naturally knew what to do.

The wedding banquet ended up with everyone's blessings, and the Harris family enjoyed the highest honor they had ever received.

After seeing off all the guests, Ethan returned to the room, looking at Sophia with tender affection.

Perhaps feeling Ethan's direct gaze, Sophia's face blushed with shyness, and she playfully said, "What... what are you looking at?"

Ethan slowly walked toward her. Sophia felt his intense gaze, shyly retreating step by step until she was cornered against the wall.

Seeing her shy demeanor, Ethan pressed her against the wall and said flirtatiously, "I'm looking at my beautiful wife! And now that we're married, shouldn't we do what married couples do?"
