Ethan answered evasively, "I brought my daughter here to eat roast duck."
Kern nodded. The waiter immediately brought the piping hot roast duck.
Ethan calmly patted July's little head, "You and Mommy go to the private room to eat roast duck. Daddy will join you in a moment!"
July nodded obediently, "Okay, July will wait for Daddy!"
Without saying a word, Sophia looked at Ethan with some concern.
Ethan smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's just a small matter."
Sophia felt somewhat reassured and took July into the private room.
After the mother and daughter left, Ethan spoke lightly, "Young master? Heh... Kern, you really have a sense of humor! If I'm not mistaken, twenty-five years ago, it was you who personally drove me out of the Lee family..."
The atmosphere immediately tensed up.
Kern's eyes, filled with vicissitudes, showed reverence, "Young master, I am just a steward! Back then, it was Madam Lee's order. As a servant, what else could I do?"
Ethan said coldly, "Then what business do you have coming to see me today?"
Kern said calmly, "Madam heard that you appeared in the Imperial Capital and specially sent me to welcome you back home!"
A wry smile curved Ethan's lip, "Back home? No! Kern, I'm afraid you've got it wrong! Since my mother's death and my father's disappearance, I've been driven out of the Lee family! The Lee family in the Imperial Capital is no longer my home!"
***
The Lee family, ranked first among the ten great noble families of the Imperial Capital, wielded immense power!
Twenty-five years ago, Ethan's biological father, Homas Lee, was the most outstanding talent among the younger generation of the Lee family!
Everyone in the Lee family regarded Homas as the hope of the Lee family. Madam Lee even arranged a marriage for him with the eldest daughter of the Novak family, also one of the ten great noble families, aiming to form a strong alliance and become the top powerhouse in the Imperial Capital!
However, Homas had already fallen deeply in love with Ethan's mother. They had a secret marriage for five years and had Ethan. Due to family reasons, they never dared to reveal it publicly!
Eventually, the truth leaked out.
That day, everything changed.
***
Ethan still remembered that rainy night. His mother carried him and ran desperately, with numerous people chasing after them!
In the chaos, Ethan's mother was killed by a truck. In her final moment, she pushed Ethan away, saving his life!
When Homas arrived, he witnessed everything and went mad. He killed thirteen people from the Lee family. In the end, amidst the pouring rain, he disappeared into the night, holding Ethan's mother's body. Since then, his whereabouts have been unknown, whether alive or dead!
Young Ethan was taken back to the Lee family and met the old woman who should have been his grandmother!
Ethan would never forget the cold face and disdainful eyes of Madam Lee!
With a wave of her hand, this young master of the Lee family in the Imperial Capital was driven out like a beggar, left to fend for himself!
For twenty-five years, Ethan had relied on his own wisdom to become a highly respected master!
But no one knew how the child who lost both parents managed to survive.
***
Memories of the past surfaced in Ethan's mind, chilling him more and more.
The black-clad figures around him couldn't help shivering.
Ethan's icy voice echoed through the room, "Right now, I just want to live a normal, peaceful life. Don't disturb me! Otherwise, you'll bear the consequences."
Ethan stood up, swept a cold glance around, and prepared to leave.
An old laughter came from behind Ethan, "Haha... Truly worthy of being a descendant of my family! Despite being driven out, you still carry that inherent dominance!"
The crowd parted, and everyone respectfully bowed their heads.
An elderly lady with white hair stepped forward step by step.
The moment Ethan saw her, his pupils constricted.
This person, Ethan had only seen once, but he would never forget her for the rest of his life.
She was the only closest blood relative of Ethan, and also the person who caused Ethan to fend for himself—she was the current ruler of the Lee family, Madam Lee!
The moment Ethan saw her, a hint of killing intent silently surged in his eyes.
If Madam Lee hadn't ordered the pursuit, how could his mother have fled in panic and been killed by a truck?
But Madam Lee was still his grandmother after all.
Ethan's eyes were complex. He said with a touch of mockery, "Heh, I didn't expect to alarm the esteemed Madam Lee! I, Ethan, am truly honored!"
Madam Lee sighed softly and didn't care about Ethan's sarcasm. She spoke, "Ethan, it has been twenty-five years. During these twenty-five years, the Lee family has been searching for you. I also deeply regrets what happened to you back then! No matter what, you are still the blood of our family! Come back, come back to the Lee family, give me a chance to make amends for you, okay?"
Looking at Madam Lee's moving words, Ethan sneered. He was not moved at all.
With the immense power of the Lee family, if they had really searched for Ethan for twenty-five years, would they have waited until now?
Ethan sneered, "Madam, You are joking. the Lee family is a top-tier aristocratic family. I, Ethan, am not worthy to be associated with it. Please, everyone, leave now! Otherwise..."
At this point, Ethan's voice paused, his eyes filled with a hellish coldness, "Or, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist killing you."
