Chapter 21 Don’t Tell Me You’re with This Man Againl
Many reporters exchanged glances and immediately revealed flattering smiles.
“Since it was Mr. Dodson who spoke, we respectfully obeyed his command.”
Everyone quickly left, not even daring to hide in the dark to take pictures.
Who was Ethan?
No one who opposed him could stand on this land without any harm.
After the journalists left, the air became silent and desolate.
Looking at Stella being held in the arms of a man, Ethan’s eyes darkened, and a chilling coldness enveloped him.
His thin lips parted slightly, and he coldly uttered two words.
“Come down.”
Being held by a strange man, Stella already felt uncomfortable.
Now her news spread like wildfire, and she didn’t want Finley to be involved with her.
Stella whispered, “Let me down.”
Finley seemed to not notice Ethan’s gloomy and terrifying expression.“No, your foot got twisted, we need to go to the hospital as soon as possible.”
Ethan’s gaze, unblinking, fell upon Stella’s face, his deep eyes seeming to freeze, emitting a faint chill.
He said word by word,“Stella, I asked you to come down.”
Ethan always kept his emotions in check, and Stella rarely saw any emotional fluctuations from him.
At this moment, his eyes were gloomy, his gaze was icy, as he looked at the two of them, as if he was looking at something that he extremely despised.
Ethan saw that she didn’t move, and his gaze became even more terrifying.
He slowly took a step forward and walked up to the two people.
Ethan reached out his hand, wanting to pull Stella down.
Finley blocked with his arm, but since he was holding Stella, he couldn’t move easily, so he couldn’t stop Ethan.
Stella was pulled away from the man’s arms by Ethan.
Ethan tightly held Stella’s wrist and turned around to leave.
As her body hit the ground, Stella’s previously twisted foot throbbed with an increasingly piercing pain.

Suddenly, Stella’s other hand was grabbed by someone.

Ethan stopped in his tracks and looked at Finley, a cold and hateful voice squeezed out from his throat.
“Let her go.”
Finley’s thin lips curved into a casual smile, “It should be me who says this sentence.”
Ethan looked proud and arrogant,“Are you even worthy?”
Finley chuckled softly and said, “Whether I deserve it or not, it’s not up to you to decide. What matters is… how Ella feels.”
Finley looked away and turned to Stella, his voice gentle.
“Ella, did you want to go with him?”

Stella knew that Finley was intentionally calling her that to disgust Ethan.

gaze swept over Kaylyn, who was standing not far away. Ethan and Kaylyn had also come out of this restaurant.
It should also be just after having a meal here, and by the way, telling Kaylyn the news of her confinement, making her dear confidante smile.
Stella’s expression faded, and instead of looking at Ethan, she turned her head to Finley.
“My foot got twisted, could you please ask Mr. Burnett to take me to the nearest hospital?” The smile in Finley’s eyes deepened, “Between you and me, what troubles do we have or don’t have?”
Ethan’s eyes filled with a hint of disbelief as he coldly said, “Stella, don’t tell me you got involved with this man again.”
Stella frowned in discomfort.
“Mr. Dodson is really interesting. I neither made any news with Mr. Burnett nor got involved with him in any way. It was just a coincidence that we had a meal together, and Mr. Burnett happened to help me when I was in trouble… In Mr. Dodson’s mind, am I once again involved with a man?”
Stella glanced at Kaylyn, her expression indifferent.
“Is it that as long as I have a conversation with a man, there will be some improper relationship between us… Mr. Dodson, are you projecting your own thoughts onto others?”
Finley also had a smirk on his face.
“Mr. Dodson, when Ella was being attacked earlier, you did not show up in time to rescue her… Are you now trying to take credit for it?”
Ethan’s eyes darkened, and he couldn’t say a word.
Kaylyn, who was standing by, spoke up for Ethan, “Ethan has just arrived and he did not mean to not save Ms. Sutton…”
Finley’s thin lips curled up slightly, “Just now, the reporter went to interview Ms. Greer, and Mr. Dodson reprimanded her. But when these reporters were slandering and spreading rumors about Ella, Mr. Dodson was nowhere to be found to speak up for his own wife.”
Kaylyn seemed to have had enough, she furrowed her brow and said, “Some things were admitted by Ms. Sutton herself, it’s not a rumor. If Mr. Burnett doesn’t believe it, he can go and ask Ms. Sutton.”
Finley ignored Kaylyn and instead looked at Ethan.
“Mr. Dodson, do you think so too?”
Ethan’s eyes were deep and his gaze fell on Stella.

“Why didn’t you come down in the end?”
It seems that Finley’s words were in vain, saying it is like casting pearls before swine, which is not an exaggeration.

She said lightly, “Mr. Burnett, take me to the hospital first.”
Finley chuckled softly, “I would be happy to serve Ella.”
Finley walked past Ethan, holding Stella in his arms, causing a gust of cool wind.
In the hospital, the doctor examined Stella’s foot.
It was just some superficial injuries, and no bones were hurt.
Finley went out to answer the phone, and Stella sat back in the chair and gradually fell asleep.
She had many bizarre dreams.
It was Kaylyn’s malicious and sinister laughter one moment, and then it was the horrifying scene of Ethan and Joel pushing her into the abyss.
Stella suddenly shuddered and woke up.
She was panting rapidly, with a thin layer of cold sweat on her forehead.
“Did you have a nightmare?” came a low, cold voice from the side, followed by a few clean tissues being handed over.
Stella took it and instinctively said thank you.
Thank you.”
Wiping the sweat off her forehead, Stella turned her head and suddenly caught sight of a tall and familiar figure.
Her movements paused, and she first looked stunned, then furrowed her brows.
“How did you get here?*
Ethan sneered as he watched the woman’s expression clearly grow colder.
“What, didn’t see the person you wanted to see here, feeling disappointed?”
Stella muttered, “Not seeing the person I wanted to see is one thing, but seeing someone I didn’t want to see, that feeling is a bit disgusting.”
Ethan looked and suddenly said, “If you are willing to apologize, I will publicly clarify that this matter was just a misunderstanding.*
Apology?
Stella was about to burst into laughter.
I didn’t do anything wrong, why should I apologize?”
Ethan didn’t expect that, after all this time, she was still stubborn and her voice suddenly turned
cold.

“Stella, until now, don’t you feel that you have done something wrong?”

Stella subconsciously clenched her fist, and her knuckles turned pale due to the excessive force.
She was being driven crazy by all these online comments, and Ethan was still waiting for her to apologize?
It was extremely ridiculous.
She coldly said, “The biggest mistake of my life was choosing to marry you!”
Ethan’s handsome face turned cold and stern, Stella, you’ve had enough.”
Stella sneered, “I had enough, you may choose to be a blind supporter of Kaylyn, but I refuse to be a fool who compromises in everything.*
Ethan’s eyes darkened, “You wanted too much.”

Chapter 22 Anyway, I Wouldn’t Live Much Longerl “I wanted more, how much more could I have had you, Kaylyn?”
Stella glanced up slightly and looked at Ethan.
“For your Kaylyn, you gave her the wedding that belonged to me. To promote her, you spent a billion without even blinking an eye, but then you froze my card and said I wanted too much?”
Ethan’s voice was cold, “These were not the reasons you repeatedly targeted Kaylyn.”
Stella sarcastically remarked, “Yes, it was all me targeting her. Ms. Greer never got a speck of dust on her, pure as ice and jade.”
Ethan could not help but detect Stella’s sarcasm. He furrowed his brow, feeling that the current Stella had become extremely unreasonable.
Just as he was about to speak, Stella’s voice came first.
I hope Mr. Dodson and Ms. Greer clarify all the false information about me online. Otherwise, don’t blame me for ending up in ruins.
Ethan’s dark eyes were deeply secretive, “Ruined reputation?”
“Yeah, Mr. Dodson didn’t believe it?”
“I really didn’t believe it.”
Stella smiled and said no more.
“Well, let’s wait and see.”
The conversation between the two ended once again on a sour note.
Shortly after Ethan left, Finley returned and took Stella back.

The next day, Stella drove to pick up Efrain from school.
Although the storm had not yet ended, Efrain hadn’t seen her for several days and was clamoring to see her.
Thinking of Efrain, Stella’s heart warmed up.
Even the wounds in the heart seemed to have been somewhat healed.
At this point in time, there was some traffic, and Stella was afraid that Efrain would be anxious waiting, so she sent him a message.
“Efrain, there was some traffic on my way, so I might be a few minutes late.”
Efrain quickly replied, “I got it, Auntie Stella. Don’t worry, be careful on the way.”
Stella couldn’t help but let a smile appear at the corner of her lips.
In the past, whenever Kaylyn went out, even if she wasn’t late, as long as she was a little late, Joel

would give her a disapproving look.
