Chapter 27 The Oliver family in Tornzia
Forget it, Ethan was a big CEO and he could tell that there was something wrong with the design. She wasn’t going to poke her nose into other people’s business.
Kristen went to the bookshelf behind to look for books. Ethan looked back at her with a smile on his face. Then he stopped talking and continued to deal with the documents.
After choosing a book that she hadn’t finished reading before, Kristen went to the sofa on the side. As soon as she opened it, she was stunned by a photo which was stuck in it.
In the picture, the man was handsome, and the woman was beautiful. It was probably in high school. The two stood on the playground in school uniforms, looking young and well-matched.
Ethan and her ex-girlfriend…
Kristen’s heart skipped a beat. She didn’t expect both of them to be together since high school.
She silently closed the book, put it back into its original position, and switched to another book.
However, she couldn’t calm down no matter what she does. Ethan was so good to her. Was he afraid that she, the substitute would leave here? That had to be the case!
Kristen, it’s a good thing that you weren’t charmed by him. You have to stay awake all the time! She comforted herself and threw herself into the book.
After a while, the housekeeper came knocking on the door.
“Young Master, Doctor Wood is here. It’s time for Miss Healey to change dressings.”
Kristen frowned, put down her book, and followed Ethan out.
Xenos took out the first-aid kit, opened the bandages around her hands and head, and quickly put on a new bandage.
Kristen is not as painful as yesterday, so she stopped screaming. She just asked, “Doctor Wood, will there be a scar on my head?”
After all, she relied on her face to make a living.
Xenos looked at Ethan and smiled. “Don’t worry, Mr. Wharton instructed me to use the best medicine. I’ll be fine in a few days, there won’t be any scars.”
Kristen nodded. As expected, Ethan cared about her face the most!
She held her breath and went back to the bedroom after changing her dressings. She backed into a good mood when she saw the things were sent here, which she had bought from the mall yesterday.
Only Xenos and Ethan were left in the living room downstairs.
“I thought you had gone to the office. Unexpectedly, you are here accompanying Kristen.” Xenos leaned back on the sofa with a smile on her face. You’re so good to your little lover. Tsk tsk, Ethan, you haven’t fallen in love with her, have you?”
Ethan didn’t deny or say anything.
“We’ve known each other for so many years. Do you think I don’t know you? If you don’t like her, why are you so worried about her? As the director, I have to listen to your orders and come to this place to change her dressing. Are you considering the Collins family? That’s why you haven’t expressed your love for her!”
“You say too much.” Ethan said indifferently, “If there’s nothing else, you can go.”
Xenos smiled playfully. Then, he thought of something and became serious.
“By the way, Master Collins was hospitalized yesterday. It seems that he can only hold on for two months at most.”
The outsiders knew that Ethan was the illegitimate son of the young master of the Collins Group and that he had a bad relationship with the family. The Collins Group and TNK Group had been hostile to each other all the time, and neither of them was at a disadvantage.
Xenos was the only one who knew that Ethan cared about Master Collins because he was good to him when he was young.
If Master Collins passed away and Ethan took action, it wouldn’t be long before the Collins Group was finished.
A thoughtful look flashed across Ethan Wharton’s eyes. He indifferently said, “I understand.”
At this moment, Jacob sent Ethan some important documents. Before he left, he seemed to have thought of something and reported, “By the way, Mr. Wharton, when I was investigating the Davis Family, I found that the Oliver family in Tornzia is also secretly collecting the shares of the Davis Family. It seems that they intend to do something.”
Kristen heard that when she went downstairs and was about to pour a glass of water. She stopped in her tracks.
“The Oliver family in Tornzia?” Ethan frowned slightly.
The Oliver family was the largest listed company in Tornzia, so he naturally knew about it.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Yes, President. But it doesn’t seem like they’re going to work together. Jorden is still investigating the Davis Family collusion, but I found out that the Davis Family has nothing to do with the Oliver family.”
“Nangania and Tornzia are quite far from each other, These two families never interfere with each other’s business. Why is the Oliver family acting this way?” Xenos asked in confusion.
Kristen took a sip of water and said unwillingly, “the Davis family must have done something evil which has offended the Oliver family. Tsk, tsk. They brought this upon themselves!”
They also thought that this was probably the only reason. After all, the Davis family’s siblings were terrible. Xenos was full of excitement. “By the way, Miss Healey, didn’t you grow up in Tornzia? Have you seen the Miss Oliver of the Oliver family? I heard that she’s very beautiful!”
“How can I, an ordinary person like me know the Oliver family!” Kristen held the water and smiled guiltily. “Doctor Wood, you think too highly of me.”
“Alright, leave the Oliver family alone. If the two of you have nothing else to do, just go,” Ethan Wharton interrupted indifferently.
Mr. Wharton was about to fool around with his little lover. So, they tactfully left.
“Aren’t you curious about Miss Oliver’s appearance?” Kristen walked over and said playfully, “they say she’s very beautiful. Do you want to meet her?”
“No.”
A magnetic voice rang out, and Kristen smiled. When she returned to Tornzia, her identity would be exposed. She wondered if Ethan would know…
However, at that time, they would probably have nothing to do with each other.
Ethan pursed his lips, took the water from Kristen’s hand, and drank it lightly. Then he asked, “Where do you want to go in the afternoon?”
“I don’t know.” Kristen shook her head. “I’d better stay at home. I’m famous now. Even if I wear a mask, I will be recognized outside. It won’t be good if there are rumors.”
Ethan stared at the side of her face and said, “TNK Group is here, there’s no need to be afraid. You can go anywhere you want.”
“Really?”
Kristen looked questioningly at Ethan, but after thinking about it, it made sense. With Ethan’s power, how could there be any scandal?
In this way, they went out for dinner and then went to the cinema.
The huge cinema had been booked with only one staff member. Kristen chose a classic movie named In This World, in which the heroine’s name was Pamela Oliver. She was a national movie queen who was popular all over the country, but she had passed away.
Sitting in the cinema, Ethan asked in confusion, “You like her very much?”
Kristen had watched the movie at home at least ten times.
“That’s right, I entered the entertainment industry because I liked her!”
When the movie was finished, tears welled up in Kristen’s eyes. Ethan frowned slightly. This woman had always been simple-minded, but now she was crying over a movie…
He took her into his arms and wiped the tears from her eyes with his slender fingers. He asked in a mellow voice, “Kristen, are you unhappy about something?”
“No!” Kristen adjusted her mood and said again, “Don’t let your imagination run wild. It’s just that this movie is too touching. I cry every time I watch it.”
It was not only because of the movie but also because Pamela was her mother.
