What exactly he was craving for, only Ethan knew. It was those lingering sensations in his body...
His body was so close to Avery . If he didn't leave the Wells family mansion soon, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to restrain himself...
Therefore, he closed his eyes and tried his best not to let Avery speak at this moment, and even more so, not to let himself open his eyes to see her face.
Time passed by minute by minute.
These ten-plus minutes were undoubtedly long for the guests who were watching the show.But for Harrison, it was as fast as a rocket.
He watched as Dr. Fredrick operated the equipment, and the results were about to come out. Harrison was anxious to death.
He didn't know if there was anything in the water in that cup, but he knew very well that whether or not it was found out, Third Master Blackwood was indeed involved in the incident at his Wells family.
Not to mention that he forcibly gave his eldest daughter to Third Master Blackwood. Soon, Third Master Blackwood would investigate the water issue. As the host of the Wells family, he had nowhere to hide.
Several times, Harrison looked towards Avery, who was next to Ethan, wanting to seek help from his youngest daughter with his eyes.
Rather than help, it was more like a threat.
Avery only glanced at him once, as if she hadn't seen it, and looked attentively at Dr. Fredrick's test.
Harrison was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but because Ethan was there, just seeing his half-masked face made Harrison afraid.
Finally, under Harrison's anxious waiting, Dr. Fredrick came to Ethan with the test results.
"Third Master, the test results are out. The water in this cup has indeed been tampered with. Moreover, the amount is particularly large!"
Upon hearing this, Ethan opened his eyes and his cold gaze fell on Harrison like fire and poison. "Mr. Wells , do you have anything else to say?" he asked.
"I, I don't have anything to say!" Harrison felt just as innocent as Avery had when she was first accused.
All he wanted to do was to revive the Wells family at the old man's birthday banquet. He had no plans for the incident involving Third Master Blackwood and his daughter Alexis.
He had hoped to take advantage of the situation and let Third Master Blackwood marry Alexis. He never expected things to turn out this way. Harrison was so anxious that his face turned red.
"You don't?" Ethan stood up and looked down on Harrison with a cold smile. "Don't tell me this is just a coincidence. In my dictionary, there is no such thing as coincidence without human intervention!"
"I, Ethan Blackwood, will only have one wife in my life! Since I have married Avery, she will be my only wife."
The audience was filled with sighs and gasps. Many women were stunned, while even more were deeply envious and jealous of Avery.
To have a husband who would help her so much, even if he was a little ugly, was worth it.
Harrison was so intimidated by Ethan's sharp gaze that he couldn't say a word, especially when he heard the last word from Ethan's mouth, which left him speechless.
With his mouth open, he couldn't say anything, not even a word of defense.
Ethan's cold gaze finally swept over Harrison before he left.
"In front of many people, he continued in a low voice,
"Mr. Wells, you dare to do such a thing, you must consider what price you will pay!'
'Third Master, I was wrong, please don't go after the Wells family, Third Master...'
Harrison realized that begging for mercy was the only thing he could do, regardless of whether the Wells family was responsible or not.But Ethan didn't even bother to look at him, and looked down at the person in his arms with a gentle gaze.
'Today's matter, I won't let it go just like that. But now it's already late, we should go home.'
'Yes, let's go home.'
Avery raised her head and saw Ethan's seemingly gentle eyes, and subconsciously nodded.
'So obedient.'
Ethan's exquisite face without a mask revealed a faint smile, he held her shoulder tightly, hugged her, and walked past Harrison towards the outside.
Avery ignored Harrison completely. She looked like a really obedient wife of Ethan Blackwood, doing whatever he said.
If he wanted her to listen, to be obedient, she would never say a word of objection.
As Ethanand Avery left, the guests also remained silent, watching the two leave quietly.
At the same time, Dr. Fredrick and Chad packed up their instruments and quickly followed.
They thought the matter was over.
But they didn't expect that just as Ethan was about to leave the gate, he suddenly thought of something, stopped his steps, and slowly turned around.
'Oh, right.'
Ethan's cold voice drifted over, low, magnetic, and ethereal, as if crossing a century."
"I did not have any substantial relationship with Alexis. Madam appeared in time and stopped Mr. Wells' conspiracy. As for the marks on her body, she did it herself and had nothing to do with me."
"Also, my secretary will send a lawyer's letter regarding this matter. Tomorrow is the anniversary of your family's passing!"
As soon as the voice fell, he turned around and left the scene with his wife in his arms.
After they left, the entire hall of the old mansion was in an uproar.
"What a great show!"
"The Wells family is unlucky. They are really finished this time."
"No one can save them ,haha..."
"Whose fault is it? It's all Harrison Wells' fault. He was too greedy and did something as despicable as framing The third young Master to save his company."
"..."
Harrison didn't know when the guests had left. He stood there with a pale face and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
...
After leaving the old mansion, Chad drove the car over. Avery followed Ethan and sat in the back seat of the car.
Dr. Fredrick sat in the passenger seat, and the car quickly started and left the Wells family mansion.
Avery sat next to Ethan, but after less than five minutes of driving, the man suddenly pushed her to the side and said,
"Stay away from me and don't get close to me."
"Mr. Blackwood, what's wrong with you?"
Looking at Ethan's half-red face and the hot temperature emanating from him, Avery obviously didn't realize what was going on yet. She reached out her hand and wanted to touch his forehead.
However, as her hand touched his, the man's breath hitched and he grabbed her wrist tightly.
Before she could react, she found herself back in his arms.
The man's heavy breathing sprayed onto her neck, dense and numerous:
"Didn't I tell you to stay away from me? You came to me yourself..."
Only then did Avery realize what was happening. She tried to say something, but could only make a vague "um" sound.
She tried to resist the man with her hand, but he quickly grabbed it and she couldn't move.
"Third Master, Miss Lu, you..."
Chad and Dr. Fredrick, who were driving in front, heard the commotion from the back and turned around, but were harshly interrupted by the man's rough command.
"Close the rearview mirror and don't look back!"
