บท 99: An Unwelcome Guest

"Nathan, seeing how you shield Ava, you must be oblivious to the existence of a scoundrel like Alex—this man shares a scandalous secret with Ava. Maybe Ava has already cuckolded you, haha! No matter how powerful you are, it seems you've married a damaged woman..."

"Enough!" Ethan could no longer contain his frustration as he interrupted Chloe. "Chloe, how can you, a young woman, say such things!" He would not allow anyone to slander Ava in such a manner.

Regardless of the truth of the matter, he feared Nathan might take these words to heart, negatively impacting his perception of Ava.

"Brother, I just don't understand, what does Ava have that I don't? Why do you always protect her so fiercely? Could it be that you also have feelings for Ava?" Chloe had completely lost her reason, and in her subconscious desire to smear Ava, she seized every opportunity to throw mud, now even dragging Ethan into her verbal assault.
