Chapter 91

Ethan's gaze drifted towards Hannah's yard adjacent to his own,immediately drawn to the cluster of potted plants huddled against the garden wall. A spark of interest ignited in his eyes.

A half-hour later, Ethan found himself staring at a withered potted plant inside his room, a peculiar expression etched onto his face.

He had cut a wound into his own hand and conducted an experiment. As the wound healed, he noticed the once thriving seedling withering simultaneously.

This observation confirmed his hypothesis-the bead, while facilitating healing, adversely affected the nearby plants.

Ethan remained oblivious to the principle underlying this phenomenon,but his fascination with the bead's miraculous nature only grew.

After a moment of stunned silence, he shook his head, forcing a smile onto his face. "I've been too engrossed in these experiments. I'll have to explain this to Hannah later," he mused, wondering how Hannah would react upon discovering that her painstakingly nurtured roses had been mysteriously killed by his actions.

Would she deem him unreasonable?

Just then, his phone buzzed with a call from Jayden, who was currently overseas. "Jayden, stay put and don't worry about me! If necessary, I'll let you know what to do. For now, your task is to manage the offshore investment company for me. I've already instructed the person in charge there to cooperate with you," Ethan advised him earnestly. ′′Iunderstand. Your influence and the backing you have will undoubtedly sway Grandpa's perception of you! I believe it's necessary too. This time,we'll bring the Harris family over here!" Jayden immediately grasped Ethan's intention. "I've heard that the Cloud Group has changed its chairman again, this time to Beverly! Sir, what do you plan to do?" Jayden quickly diverted the conversation. ′′ItS's not that straightforward. Clarence is merely a distant relative. The Harris family in Novaria doesn't represent the Harris family in Houston.But this is still a good start for me!" Ethan seriously analyzed the situation "Evidently, the Cloud Group falling into Beverly's hands might not be detrimental. I initially planned to weaken the Cloud Group through a scheme,but now there's another possibility. Let's let this woman stir things up for a while!" Ethan's sentiments towards Beverly were rather complex.

She was one of the few third-generation Wilson family members who had aided him, despite occasionally seeming to oppose him. But she had never intended to harm him!

"I concur. Beverly has always been quite kind to you!" Jayden sighed in relief upon hearing Ethan's words.

However, certain things remained unspoken between them. The situation was still murky, and whether Beverly would turn out to be a friend or foe was yet to be seen.

Ethan briefly discussed the HIarris family's predicament and his strategy to confront the QU Group in Seattle.

"It's beneficial for you to maintain a cordial relationship with the Harris family. We should really thank Miss Miller for that! Sir, are you two..."Jayden had already inferred the nature of Ethan's relationship with Chloe from the narrative.

Ethan found himself at a loss for words and quickly redirected the conversation. "Jayden, when did you become so intrigued by gossip? I might need your assistance when I head to Seattle this time!"

"Tell me what you need!" Jayden responded promptly.

"I'll reach out once I evauate the situation there. To reclaim the Harris family's benefits from the QU Group, we'll need to employ some tactics.Since Mr. Harris is testing me, I want you to make your presence felt as much as possible!" Ethan reminded him sternly. before him.

"The fact that you can think like this proves that you have matured, and I can feel relieved! I wish you a smooth trip to Seattle!" Jayden expressed his relief.

After ending thecall with Jayden, Ethan glanced at the darkening sky and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
