Billionaire's match novel

Chapter 209 Even if Charlotte had the money, she would never give it to her worthless father. That was her mother's lifesaving money-money she had earned with her own blood and sweat. "You still dare to lie to me!" Her father finally lost what little patience he had left. The tip of the knife trembled as he prepared to strike. Charlotte was so terrified that her mind went blank. She squeezed her eyes shut-but the pain she expected never came. Instead, her father's scream pierced the air.

She snapped her eyes open to see a sharply dressed figure step in from the side and knock her father to the ground. The man was tall and powerfully built. A few swift, forceful punches sent Charlotte's father sprawling. "E... Ethan?" Charlotte couldn't believe her eyes. The person who had come to save her was actually Ethan. Ethan didn't spare her a glance. It had been a long time since he'd thrown a punch, and the sudden burst of violence nearly wrenched his wrist. Thankfully, the old man had no training and a weak body.

He planted one foot hard on Charlotte's father's back, stripped off his suit jacket, and tossed it to her. Charlotte caught it instinctively. A strong scent of perfume rushed at her, making her frown slightly. Ethan pulled off his tie and tightly bound Charlotte's father's hands. "Who the hell are you?!" her father howled hoarsely. "I'm disciplining my daughter-what the hell is it to you, you bastard?!" He continued screaming curses at the top of his lungs.

Ethan ignored him and asked without turning around, This old bastard is your father?" "...Yes," Charlotte answered softly, shame washing over her. She quickly came back to her senses, ran to the side, and picked up her phone. The screen was cracked, but it still worked. She dialed the police immediately. When her father heard her calling the police, he started cursing even more viciously, his words growing increasingly obscene. "1 Ethan lost his patience. He kicked him once, rummaged through his trouser pocket, pulled out a pack of tissues, and stuffed the entire wad into the man's mouth.

Soon, nearby police officers arrived. Charlotte's father was already a fugitive, so he was taken away on the spot. Watching her father being dragged off, Charlotte's expression remained calm-so calm it was as if she were seeing off a stranger. There was even a trace of cold resentment in her eyes. Ethan let out a mocking snort. "Didn't expect you to be so ruthless. You didn't even hesitate when it came to 1/2 Chapter 209 +25 Bonus your own father. I thought you'd beg me to let him go. "He's my father," Charlotte said quietly, "but only by blood." She didn't want to say more to Ethan.

Still, she thanked him for saving her and handed his jacket back. "Thank you. I'll treat you to a meal next time." "You think I'm short on a free meal?" Ethan was even more speechless. This woman sounded as if she were thanking an enemy-guarded, distant- and didn't even ask why he'd been there. After dropping Michelle off, he had come specifically to look for her near the hospital. Charlotte had seen him with Michelle earlier. It didn't really matter if she had. In Khloe's circle, he was already far from being a good man. Still, Michelle's reputation couldn't be tarnished.

He had only wanted to confirm what Charlotte had seen. As Ethan reached for his jacket, Charlotte's eyes flickered in surprise. The side of his palm was smeared with blood. "Ethan, you're bleeding?" She grabbed his wrist. A shallow cut had split the skin, blood welling steadily. "Damn." If Charlotte hadn't said anything, Ethan wouldn't even have noticed. Only now did the pain register. He pressed his suit fabric against the wound to stop the bleeding. Meanwhile, after returning home with Nick, Khloe immediately explained everything between herself and Trey to everyone in the Hunt family.
