Ethan’s Vengeance of Love

Chapter 23

After all, she would be married into the Yeager Family and was their future daughter-in-law. So if he manipulated some facts afterward, it sounded reasonable for Alice to take the rap for this.

That way, he could divert the anger of the victims’ families directly to Alice.

Bruce didn’t hesitate as he went to Alice immediately and ordered, “Alice, tell those reporters that you’re the one fully in charge of the Moonlight Bay project at that time.”

The moment she heard him, she almost burst out in laughter. The Yeager Family is indeed shameless. How could they tell me to take the blame? Do I look like an idiot?

She was the one who had arranged all of this—exposing the truth from back then—and they wanted her to take the rap?

Ha, what a joke! she thought.

“Alice, we’re going to be married soon, and our interests will be one eventually. You’re doing this for me, and I know that you’ll be willing to do this because you love me very much, don’t you?”

Even Bruce knew the severity of this matter, so he could only coax Alice patiently. Fortunately, she was silly and dumb, to begin with. So, persuading her was an easy feat, and he was confident that he could make her agree to his demands.

He knew that she loved him very much, or else, several years ago, she wouldn’t have said that she would marry him with her family fortune as her dowry.

Sadly, she was simply too silly and dumb. In addition to the scar on her face, he didn’t want to marry her because he felt disgusted at the sight of her.

Her fingers twitched, and she resisted the urge to grab a glass of wine and empty it over his head. It’s a shame to waste food, she chanted to herself.

“Why don’t you wait a little longer?” Her voice was very calm, carrying a light trace of amusement, and instead of looking at him, she was looking at the door of the grand ballroom.

It should be soon. We don’t have to wait long! she thought.

At the moment, she sincerely wanted to give Bruce this advice.

“What do you mean? What are you talking about? What are you waiting for?” The knot between Bruce’s brows clearly showed that he was impatient. What’s up with her? All she needs to do is stand out and admit that she’s responsible for this. One sentence is all she needs to say. Why is she being so troublesome?

“We’re waiting for a surprise…” A smirk tinged the edge of Alice’s lips. There’s a surprise… and a massive one at that!

Right now, he was still very keen to please his father, and she wondered what he would think once the surprise revealed itself.

As for Thomas, things would simply become more terrible for him!

If he thought that this was the worst-case scenario, she could assure him that it could be far worse than this.

“What? Will there be a surprise?” A startled Bruce had no idea what Alice meant. “Do you have a way to take care of this?”

Nevertheless, he immediately shot down that thought. Alice is a fool. How could she have a way to solve this terrible situation?

At the same time, he was clueless about what she was speaking about. Surprise? What kind of surprise would it be?

But the next moment, Bruce saw the ‘surprise’ that she meant!

While he was truly surprised, it wasn’t a pleasant sort.

“Daddy!”

“Dad!”

The ballroom, which was already in chaos, turned even more so with the sudden appearance of a few children dashing into the room. It wasn’t a problem that they were here; the shocking thing was, the children were calling Thomas ‘daddy’.

Two boys and two girls; from their appearance, there was quite a difference in their ages, with more than ten years apart the youngest and the oldest child.

All of a sudden, Bruce had so many siblings.

Could they be imposters?

No, with the advanced technology nowadays, it was pointless to pose as someone else’s children as it could be easily exposed. Furthermore, everyone knew how ruthless Thomas was and Naomi’s viciousness. So who would dare to pull a stunt like this?

Of course, they were all genuinely sired by Thomas, and the children resembled him so much that anyone could tell that they were indeed his children!

At the sight of these children, his head almost exploded. What are they doing here? What’s going on?

He had always been meticulous about this; the women he kept outside were in different countries. They were miles apart and didn’t know or have any contact with each other. So why were they showing up at the wedding at the same time?

His first instinct told him that someone had planned this on purpose. That’s right. It’s evident that everything happening at the wedding today is of someone’s design to do me in, he thought.

But who could it be?

Who was the one who not only exposed the accident at Moonlight Bay but also found his illegitimate children?

Even though he had quite a few enemies, he couldn’t think of anyone who was capable of pulling such a stunt!

“What the hell? This… This is…” Caleb uttered, dumbfounded. “I thought the Moonlight Bay accident was already a death-dealing blow, but there’s something more brutal than that. Is this what we call turmoil at the office and fire at home? This is akin to a chain reaction, trap after trap, that is going directly for Thomas Yeager’s throat. Even if he has superpowers, there’s no way he could get out of this mess! Setting the Moonlight Bay accident aside, how could they even expose so many of his private businesses? Thomas has always been a wily, conniving, and callous person, and it’s not easy to find out such things about him. Furthermore, it’s even harder to get so many of his illegitimate children together to create a scene here. Judging from Mrs. Yeager’s reaction, I don’t think she knows anything about this. The image of Thomas was usually a kind father and a loving husband. This big contrast is… so mocking and exciting.”

To Caleb, this show was simply getting more lively and interesting. If he could film this, even for just one episode, he knew that it would be a big hit. It was totally worth it to witness this today, and he couldn’t help the schadenfreude in his voice.

“I think this is the end of Yeager Corp. If it’s only the Moonlight Bay accident, they could still pull through this if the entire Yeager Family unites, even though it will cause a huge loss to their company. But now that these four illegitimate children have appeared, given Mrs. Yeager’s personality, there’s no way that she will take this lying down, not to mention help Thomas. He should be counting his lucky stars if she even spares his life. The one who planned this is committing an invisible murder, and this strategy is so exemplary that I take my hat off to them.”

After years of accompanying Ethan, Caleb had developed a big-picture view, and he honestly thought highly of this person.

In contrast, Ethan was quiet, but his gaze never left Alice. If Caleb were looking closely, he would notice that Ethan’s usual calm eyes showed a slight hint of unrest.

At the moment, it was complete chaos downstairs; whether it was the journalists that the Yeager Family had invited or the ones that arrived afterward, all of them were pumped with adrenaline.

The news today was so explosive that they could report it from so many different angles for the next month without any repetition! They could already imagine hitting the KPI so effortlessly that they wouldn’t even believe it themselves. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

The guests who were anticipating a joke out of Alice were stunned, but it didn’t stop them from glutting themselves with the Yeager’s scandal. Suffice to say, they had so much fun today that this wedding would most probably be their top 10 in the ‘Would Attend Again’ wedding list. What happened today was enough for them to gossip about it for the next year!

Riveting! This was truly compelling! Some of them couldn’t even help but anticipate more!
