Celeste Linden confirmed to Ethan Barnes that she has a boyfriend who treats her and her daughter Danielle very well. After a long night, Ethan reluctantly parts with Danielle and allows Celeste to leave with Willow Crawford, who notices blood on Celeste. Morgan Ashworth then clarifies to Ethan's subordinates that Celeste is his sister, not their sister-in-law, a statement Ethan confirms, much to his subordinates' disappointment.

Ethan Barnes glanced at his trusted aide, "Move aside, I have something to discuss with President Ashworth."

"Yes."

Everyone walked away, now only Ethan Barnes and Morgan Ashworth remained here.

Ethan Barnes looked at Morgan Ashworth, "President Ashworth, surely you have something you want to say to me, right?"

Morgan Ashworth nodded slightly, "General Barnes, you must have also guessed what I’m going to tell you, correct?"

Ethan Barnes was noncommittal.

Morgan Ashworth slowly said, "To prevent General Barnes from pretending ignorance while knowing the facts, I will make it clear to General Barnes, please keep your distance from my sister and Danielle in the future."

"This time my sister took Danielle on a business trip and ran into you, leading to such a dangerous situation. I don’t want my sister and Danielle to encounter any danger, everyone who might bring them danger must stay away."

"Besides, General Barnes, you have a wife already, I don’t need to comment on your wife, do I? If your wife were to discover your secret interactions with my sister, what would she do, would she harm my sister and Danielle? These outcomes are uncertain."

"Three years ago, you made a choice. Carlotta helped you, and you chose to repay her with marriage, even in times of crisis, you abandoned my sister who was six months pregnant and decisively chose your wife, so please stay loyal to your choice and never look back."

"My sister isn’t obligated or responsible to wait for you, nor does she need to share the burden of gratitude towards your wife with you."

"As for Danielle, what can you give her, the identity of being a love child? So not acknowledging Danielle is the best fatherly love you can give."

With that, Morgan Ashworth turned and left.

Ethan Barnes stood there, not moving for a long time.

...

Ethan Barnes came home in the evening. As he stood at the door, he heard Carlotta’s angry voice inside, "How did you make this dish, why is it so salty?"

"Now you’re all making things perfunctorily, do you all look down on me too, treating me not as your mistress?"

The maids inside were trembling with fear.

Ethan Barnes’s close aide whispered, "Boss, is that our sister-in-law inside?"

"Sister-in-law seems to have quite a temper."

The team wanted to come over and take a look at their sister-in-law because they all liked Celeste Linden, and since Celeste Linden wasn’t their sister-in-law, they wanted to see their real sister-in-law.

Ethan Barnes said nothing, he pushed open the door and walked in.

Bang.

At this moment, a bowl shattered at his feet followed by Carlotta’s angry voice, "Make another plate and don’t stop until I’m satisfied."

"General Barnes, you’re back?" a maid noticed Ethan Barnes.

Has he returned?

Carlotta in the dining room quickly turned around and indeed saw Ethan Barnes.

She became even angrier because Ethan Barnes had left her alone at home a few days ago, disappeared for several days, and she had accumulated a bellyful of rage.

"You’re back? Where have you been these days, why haven’t you sent any messages?"

The trusted aides behind him explained,

"Boss went on a mission these past few days, and was seriously injured."

"Yes, the bullet pierced the boss’s chest, and the wound hasn’t been treated by a proper doctor yet."

"Really?" Carlotta didn’t believe it at all. She skeptically sized up Ethan Barnes, "Are you all conspiring to lie to me, has he been out finding romance with other women these days?"
