Capítulo 169: The chaos at the office (Part – 1)

Ethan had already learned from Lydia that Erica was coming back. He knew Erica's return would raise more conflicts between Ava and Dylan. It was his chance to deepen the rift.

"He is probably planning to lift the ban and bring her home," Ethan said with certainty.

Ava flinched inwardly, her thoughts a chaotic whirlpool. Part of her wanted to believe him. Yet, a stronger part of her still hesitated to doubt Dylan. He had promised her he would never let Erica return. And even if she returned, she couldn't work anywhere in town. Ava believed he wouldn't break that promise.

"I don't think so," Ava retorted. "He won't let her come back."

"Ava, why are you so naïve? They are cousins," he reasoned. "And his aunt is also in town. Do you think Lydia wouldn't pressure Dylan to bring her daughter back? And how long can Dylan keep refusing her? Blood comes first to him, always. Don't fool yourself into thinking otherwise."
