Chapter 110

Ethan stared at his phone screen, his brow furrowed.

In just two hours, he had received five calls from home.

Three were from his mother.

Two were from Isabella.

He hadn't answered a single one.

Isabella knew her place.

She only called once and didn't bother him again.

But her restraint only irritated him more.

The villa now housed someone who shouldn't be there.

The very air felt suffocating.

Charlie swirled his glass and approached.

"Leaving already? It's only nine."

Ethan remained silent.

His gaze was cold enough to freeze.

Charlie wisely shut up.

Ethan seemed sober, but his simmering rage was palpable.

"My driver is downstairs. Let him take you."

"Thanks."

"Don't mention it." Charlie set down his glass.

"I'll walk you out."

Ethan waved him off and strode out directly.

Julian watched his retreating back and snorted.

"Play with fire, get burned. Isabella really has talent, pushing him to this state."

Charlie sighed.

"Enough. He's upset."

"Who wouldn't be? Threw away a gem for a pebble, only to get hurt by the pebble. I heard Sophia got into MIT for her Master's. She's cut off love, focusing on her studies now…"

"We bet on how long Sophia would make a scene, but she didn't even bother. Just started a whole new life. Tsk tsk…"

Julian was used to their on-and-off drama.
