Ethan's greatest ability was to deal with despicable scums without fighting. He could piss them off with merely his sharp tongue.
Adriana looked extremely gloomy.
"So what kind of drug did you use on Richard? Tell me. I'm wondering how the drug industry has developed in our country."
"Get lost."
"Nope." Ethan blocked the door of the stairwell with a playful expression on his face. "But I'm truly curious. You've been together with Richard for so long, why haven't you had s*x with him yet?"
Adriana was both annoyed and ashamed. "None of your business."
"It's indeed none of my business. I'm just concerned about your life. Aren't you worried about it?"
"Worried about what?" Adriana asked angrily.
"A man who was with you for so many years didn't even bother to have sex with you. I advise you to give it a second thought. He must be suffering from some physiological problems."
"Impossible!" She yelled.
Ethan smirked: "How do you know? You haven't tried it yet!"
Adriana was so furious that her face turned livid and she couldn't even say a word. She was so mad that she didn't want to walk out of the stairwell, which was blocked by Ethan. She had no choice but to use the stairs straight away, lifting her gown to go down the stairs.
Ethan stood up straight. Before leaving, he mocked her. "Miss Wood, don't be too ungrateful. I'm doing this for your own good."
Then he watched Adriana's figure disappear around the corner of the stairs. Then, he went to Pearl's room and knocked on the door.
After knocking on the door twice, he still didn't hear any response.
Frowning, he then called Pearl.
"Sorry, the number you have dialled has not been answered for the time being. Please call again later..."
Just then, a faint sound of Pearl's ringtone came from inside the room
Suddenly, there was a loud "bang" coming from inside. It seemed that something was pushed down.
Ethan's expression changed. He quickly took out the room card and entered the room.
"Pearl..."
The moment he opened the door, dust flew everywhere. The huge cabinet and cloak hanger seemed to have just collapsed and were lying at the entrance.
Pearl's dress had been torn, and her face was quite pale. She was holding a floor lamp in front of her as a weapon.
There was a man lying on the ground, with his one hand holding the collapsed wardrobe. His another hand was dripping with blood, looking quite terrifying.
Ethan quickly took off his suit and covered Pearl with it. Then he stood in front of her and coldly asked, "Mr. Zellweger, what are you doing?"
Richard supported himself up with the wardrobe. His white suit was stained with blood. However, it couldn't conceal his innately reserved and cold nature.
