Chapter 181 Ethan’s Scheme (3)
Ethan’s gaze turned cold as he cast a chilly glance at Bruce before shifting his attention back to Alice.
Seeing her slightly furrowed brows, it was clear that she was becoming impatient. Bruce is truly like a
pesky fly: he’s noisy, annoying, and disgusting. Also, he can’t understand plain words either.
Just then, his gaze landed on Alice’s slightly pursed red lips, and his eyes darkened for a moment.
Suddenly, he leaned closer to her and kissed her lightly on the lips. He had been wanting to do this for
a long time and finally had the chance to do so, even if it was just a gentle kiss.
Alice’s eyes widened abruptly as she stared at him, her astonishment evident and unmasked. Did he
just kiss
me?
When he met her astonished gaze, he secretly let out a breath and whispered, “Some people don’t
understand plain words, and I don’t want to waste my breath. His words could be taken as an
explanation for why he kissed her.
Meanwhile, she just looked at him, blinking. Even if Bruce can’t understand plain words, is this really
necessary? However, she had to admit that the kiss did indeed have an immediate effect.
At that moment, Bruce was completely stunned. His eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Ethan
and Alice. For a moment, he even doubted his own eyes, thinking that he might have been seeing
things or mistaken something. Did Mr. Knight just kiss Alice? I thought he was a quiet guy who rarely
showed interest in women. Why did he kiss her?
“Alice, you two… Do you know Mr. Knight?” Although he was not very clever, he realized Ethan and
Alice might be acquainted. His mind was running at full capacity as he thought of ways to gain from the

potential connection between those two.
“Mind your own business.” Alice was truly annoyed with him at this moment. Why is he everywhere?
Because of him. Ethan just kissed me! Apart from that night seven years ago, this was the first time she
had been kissed. Did that really happen with Ethan? We’re about to divorce, and we’ll soon become
unrelated individuals. Did he just kiss me?! Whom am I supposed to reason with?!
Bruce’s face turned unpleasant after Alice chided him, but he dared not do anything, considering that
Ethan had just kissed her.
At the same time, a smile played on Ethan’s lips. Little Fox always knows how to provoke others. She
usually infuriates me, but now, it seems like she’s quite gentle to me compared to Bruce.
“You didn’t sleep well last night. Do you want to rest for a while?” He ignored Bruce and kept looking at
Alice with a very gentle expression.
Alice felt her heart pounding when Ethan looked at her with such eyes. He seems strange today.
When Bruce heard Ethan’s words, his expression changed instantly. How did he know that she hadn’t
slept well last night? Was she with him last night? Not only that, he’s being so gentle and considerate to
her. What is their relationship?
At this thought, he narrowed his eyes. Why does this idiot deserve such gentle treatment from Alice?
Also, her attitude toward me has completely changed. Is it because she has set her sights on Mr.
Knight that she no longer cares about me? If that’s the case, I won’t let her have her way.
“Alice, fret not about my promise to marry you a few days ago. I won’t go back on my word.” He
deliberately said this for Ethan to hear. Ethan’s eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing that. He was well
aware of what Bruce was referring to, for he had heard everything that night in Royale. Yet, since he

suspected that Alice probably had another motive, he didn’t bother asking her about it. Initially, he
thought about letting this matter slide, but he didn’t expect Bruce to bring it up again.
Meanwhile, Alice felt like she wanted to kill Bruce. Can he be any more disgusting?
Upon seeing his wife’s anger, Ethan decided to appease her first. “Are you angry? Why don’t I do
something to make you feel better?”
“What do you have in mind?” With her mood not being the best at the moment, her eyebrows
instinctively arched when she heard that.
“Since the plane has just taken off and isn’t too high above the ground yet, why don’t we throw him
out?” Although his tone was gentle and his expression seemed affectionate, the words he spoke were
far from tender.
At this moment, Bruce’s face turned ugly. He thought his remark would upset both Ethan and Alice, but
he didn’t expect Ethan to coax his wife instead of getting angry at her.
Why is he treating Alice like this?
Meanwhile, Alice glanced briefly outside, then casually replied, “Seems a bit too high, though. It would
be too easy for him to die from the fall.”
“In that case, do you have any other ideas?” Ethan’s expression remained gentle, and his tone was soft
as he discussed with her.
“How about tying him to the airplane’s landing gear?” Once she became ruthless, she was no less
cunning than Ethan.

At her words, he couldn’t help but smile. Now, that’s my girl. She’s the best.
“That’s a good idea. Let’s go with what you’ve suggested.” He nodded earnestly and beckoned to one
of the flight attendants.
“What can I do for you, Mr. Knight?” The flight attendant recognized Ethan and was quite familiar with
him.
“This gentleman feels that the airplane cabin is too stuffy and wants to go out for some fresh air. Let’s
fulfill his wish and tie him to the landing gear,” he instructed the flight attendant based on Alice’s earlier
suggestion.
After being stunned for a moment, the flight attendant politely smiled and replied, “Alright.”
Alice had merely spoken without much thought. She only wanted to vent her frustration, so she didn’t
expect Ethan to actually convey her words to the flight attendant, and she certainly didn’t anticipate the
flight attendant agreeing to it.
Initially, Bruce hadn’t taken Ethan and Alice’s words seriously at all. However, when he saw the
seriousness with which Ethan instructed the flight attendant and the flight attendant’s immediate
compliance without hesitation, his complexion instantly turned unpleasant. Nonetheless, he still
believed that Ethan was just trying to scare him. However, the next moment, the flight attendant turned
directly to him, dropping the friendly expression she had while facing Ethan. She said sternly, “This
way, sir.”
“What? What do you mean? I’m a VIP too! What do you want to do to me?” He looked at the flight
attendant with horror in his eyes. Are they being serious?
“Since you’re our customer, we’re obliged to fulfill your request,” the flight attendant replied calmly
without a trace of an oddity in her tone.
