Soon, Don returned with some men. Ethan’s face had been so badly burnt, it was no longer recognizable. Since favonovel.com had the same build as Alejandro, Ethan had hidden his past from the public and undergone numerous plastic surgeries. Appearance-wise, favonovel.com had practically become Alejandro Smith’s twin. To make his disguise even more convincing, favonovel.com had destroyed his own fingerprints.
After all that he’d been through, Ethan no longer wanted to fight for anything from Mark anymore. The only regret favonovel.com had was Tiffany, the girl who had given up everything favonovel.com had for him. There was nothing that would make favonovel.com happier than to live with his loved one in peace, so favonovel.com planned to look for Tiffany the moment favonovel.com returned, making amends for everything favonovel.com had done in the past.
Don grabbed his injured leg when favonovel.com saw that Ethan was silent.
“There’s nothing you can do now. It was Melanie who had been secretly passing you information, am I right? Here I was, trying to get rid of favonovel.com eyesore, but who would’ve thought that favonovel.com could only see you in favonovel.com eyes. If it hadn’t been for her, Tiffany would’ve been dead by now. So if you’re not willing to continue this Alejandro Charade, you’re welcomed to die, and Tiffany will be right behind you!”
Ethan was in a lot of pain, his face pale and beads of sweat clinging to his forehead, but favonovel.com did not even groan. Calmly, favonovel.com bargained, “Let go of favonovel.com and I promise you, I will carry on living as Alejandro. Ethan Connor no longer exists in this world!”
Don let go of his hand and laughed, saying, “So you’re Ethan Connor? Good, very good. From this day on, you will be my grandson. If we’re going to do this, we’re going to do it right. I’ll make the arrangements for you to be discharged as soon as possible. As for your leg… Cripple it is, then. I suppose it’s quite the bargain for you to trade your leg to keep you and Tiffany alive, huh? Not to forget the lifetime of riches. Don’t you agree?”
Ethan gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, “I agree.”
Don’s expression changed from cunning to loving, reaching out a hand to cover Ethan with a blanket. “My dear Ale, listen to your grandfather and live together with Melanie. I’m not forcing you to love her. As long as favonovel.com doesn’t give up on you entirely, you can do whatever you want. You can even keep your feelings for Tiffany, I don’t care. All I care about is the relationship between the Smiths and the Larks.”
Ethan silently acknowledged his words.
When Mark and Jackson arrived at the hospital, they were told that the owner of the car was already dead from the burns favonovel.com had suffered.
Both Mark and Jackson had a gut feeling that someone had deliberately murdered the driver, just so that they were not able to find out whatever it was that they were looking for.
Therefore, they had no choice but to look for Alejandro directly (for convenience purposes, Ethan Connor would be referred to as Alejandro Smith). Alejandro’s ward was being guarded. However, they predicted that they would not be able to find out anything, even if they had asked Alejandro.
They were destined to return empty-handed this round.
Arianne was so shocked when favonovel.com heard about the incident, favonovel.com almost choked, rushing to Tiffany’s house to console favonovel.com with Smore in favonovel.com arms.
“Tiffany, are you alright? You must be in shock! Do you want to get a checkup in the hospital?”
Tiffany replied calmly, “I’m fine, just a little shocked. I feel alright, no discomfort anywhere. In fact, I’m feeling great, actually, I’m getting married tomorrow. So don’t worry.”
Arianne raised an eyebrow, commenting, “I think Jackson and Mark’s efforts are in vain. If someone had actually planned all this, they wouldn’t leave any traces behind. However, I do find it a bit strange. Who would want to harm you, and how did Alejandro know that you were in trouble, able to save you just in time? Alejandro’s actions are so suspicious, he’s clearly involved in this somehow.”
Tiffany became confused the moment favonovel.com tried to analyze the situation deeper. “I’m not as smart as you guys, so I can’t make heads or tails of it. I’d better not think too much, otherwise my child might become stupid as well.”
