Henry stared into Ethan’s eyes.
“The island is yours. Your men were stationed there. How did they escape without you allowing them to?”
Henry wasn’t stupid. He sensed the change in Ethan’s attitude toward Olivia long ago.
“I knew I couldn’t keep it from you.” Ethan didn’t try to keep it from Henry.
“I don’t care about how you want to manage your relationship with your woman. But you shouldn’t have meddled in my business.” Henry stared at Ethan coldly.
Seeing the tension rise between them, Bryan finally stepped in.

“So, instead of blaming your friend, why don’t you two think about why they wanted to leave?”
Henry sat down dejectedly. “Why? I gave her so much money. Isn’t she in love with money? Why did she still leave me?”
“Are you dumb or just pretending? If a woman could be bought with money, that would mean she didn’t. really love you. She didn’t want the money and left you. It’s highly possible that she’s really in love with. you.
“But you treat her like a plaything. Since she couldn’t stand it anymore, she could only leave.”
Oftentimes, a bystander could see things with a more objective view.
Henry was stunned. “Are you saying she’s in love with me? But the rules we made up state that we’ll keep feelings out of this relationship.”
Ethan rolled his eyes at him. “If she’s really just a plaything to you, why are you so worked up over her?”
“…”
“Don’t you understand? A plaything can be replaced, but a lover can’t. You’ve fallen in love with her, but you don’t even know it yet.”
“I’m not in love. I just give her sspecial treatment.”
“Alright, if there’s no love, why have you lost your appetite? You’ve even been struggling to fall asleep in the past few days. You’ve been throwing a fit at your best friend over her too.”
Ethan’s questions struck a chord. Henry slowly becunsettled,
“Just admit it. You’ve fallen in love with her. If you really love her, you shouldn’t keep her prisoner. Or you’ll end up likeand lose her forever.”
With bloodshot eyes, Henry said, “I don’t love her. I don’t care where she is.”
Then, he left without looking back.

“At least he still has a chance to fix their relationship, unlike me. It’s too late fornow. Allowing him to cto terms with his feelings sooner isn’t a bad thing. But I’m in the wrong too. Jack’s true identity threwoff completely.”
“That’s not your fault. I heard that things were heated between you and that person.”
Ethan grunted. Since he had the courage to sellout, I won’t let him off the hook either. There will be a battle between us eventually.”
In the past, they only challenged each other behind the scenes. Nothing was ever brought into the light.
The incident on the cruise ship intensified their conflict. That person incurred billions in losses, so he turned around and exposed Ethan’s identity.
Ethan almost died on the streets because of that. But since he survived, it was only natural for him to get back at the person.
They had already escalated to open conflicts. Ethan even allowed Olivia to leave his side. It was all for the sake of getting that position.
Olivia would only be safe if he could clear out everything that posed a threat to her.
But Ethan didn’t know Kurt had a brother. Jack had becthe biggest uncertainty in this situation.
Who was he? Was he a friend or foe?
