Chapter 636
Eleanor didn’t expect him to spill so much tea about the past He wasn’t really talking about missing her
sister, but more so blaming herself.
Eleanor took a good look at Casey He seemed chill on the surface, but he was actually more of a tough
nut to crack than Ethan She couldn’t read Casey’s mind and didn’t feel like answering his questions.
Instead, she flipped the script and asked him “If my sister only had eyes for Ethan, why did she choose
you? And why did Ethan end up in ja?”
Casey didn’t expect Eleanor to back up Ethan like that His eyes fumed on a dime and became guarded
“Sorry, I can’t tell you”
Eleanor’s forehead wrinkled “Why?”
Casey put down his coffee clasped his hands together and said seriously “You’re on Ethan’s side, so
sorry”
He got up and started to head for the door Eleanor quickly called out to him “Mr. Casey, hold on a sec”
Casey stopped in his tracks and turned back to Eleanor, his eyes back in alert mode: “What else do

Eleanor walked up to him, looking up at Casey who was a head taller than her and explained: “I’m not
on Ethan’s side I’m just in the dark about my sister’s business, so I don’t know who to trust”
Ethan said Emilia chased after him for a decade, Casey said Emilia only had eyes for Ethan, but Emilia
ended up choosing Casey. It left Eleanor a bit bamboozled. She felt a woman who spent ten years
chasing after the love of her life wouldn’t just change her heart like that, unless Ethan hurt Emilia before
this. She didn’t know the full story, so she wouldn’t just take anyone’s word at face value
Hearing her explanation, Casey’s eyes softened “Ms Shultz, your sister chose me because Ethan
betrayed her first
Eleanor was totally gobsmacked Wasn’t it Emilia who betrayed Ethan first? Now it’s Ethan who
betrayed Emilia first? Who should she believe. Casey or Ethan?
Seeing her confusion, Casey, ever the gentleman, explained. “Your sister often saw Ethan getting cozy
with other women when she was chasing after him. She loved Ethan so she chose to bear it. However,
Ethan kept up his old ways even after they got together, leaving her alone at home while he was out
painting the town red with other women‘
Casey finished speaking, and gave a helpless smile “Emilia was with Ethan for six years, and he kept
hurting her like this. Any woman would get fed up, don’t you think so, Ms. Shultz?”
Eleanor had no comeback to Casey’s words. But Ethan seemed to love her sister so much, could he
really be the kind of person Casey described?
Just as Eleanor was trying to dig deeper into who Nina’s parent was, Casey suddenly glanced at his
wristwatch. “Ms. Shultz”
Casey moved his gaze from his watch, looked at Eleanor and took a business card out of his suit
pocket and handed it to her. “Thave some urgent matters to deal with today. If you know where Nina is,
could you give me a call, thanks”
Eleanor took the card and nodded at Casey, who then turned and left.
As soon as Casey left, Pearce, who had been munching on an apple in the restaurant, waved at
Eleanor, “Over here”
Putting away her thoughtful look, Eleanor turned to Pearce, who was tossing his apple core into the

Pearce, legs crossed, with an air of I know it all, said, “Come here, Пl tell you the truth.”
Considering Pearce was Ethan’s apprentice and Emilia’s employee, she thought he might know
something, so she walked over
“Spill it‘
“Bend down”
Eleanor rolled her eyes at him, but obediently bent over
Pearce covered his mouth with his hand, leaned into her ear and whispered “Casey was lying”
Eleanor raised an eyebrow, looking at the mysterious Pearce, “How do you know?”
Pearce replied. “Because when he was talking, his gaze wasnt steady, and he kept drinking coffee to
hide his inner unease.”
Eleanor was speechless. She thought Pearce knew something, turned out he thought he was some
kind of professional psychological detective?!
Without a word, Eleanor picked up the fruit plate on the table and turned to walk away At that moment,
her phone in her pocket started vibrating She pulled out her phone and glanced at it. It was a video call
from George. She quickly put down the fruit plate and answered the call. The person who appeared on
the other end of the call wasn’t George, but Nina sitting on the ground
