Chapter 504

It’s been a month since the incident. Mrs. Hale has gradually resumed her social life. She… she seems normal.”

Ethan arched an eyebrow, clearly not believing it.

Um, what about Ms. Carter? What’s the next move? Leo asked tentatively. “Are we just going to leave it be and head back to Northbrook?”

f Ethan abandoned Mia and returned to Northbrook now, Miranda wouldn’t force Leo to investigate; she’d just ask Ethan directly. If that happened, Leo might actually survive this disaster.

Leave her to take care of you?” Ethan countered. “Did you send the gift to Marcus Gallagher like I told you?”

On the day he had rushed from Northbrook without his phone, he had coincidentally run into Marcus Gallagher at the airport. Marcus had lent him a eam on the spot, which was how Ethan had been able to get men to the hospital in time.

I tried,” Leo said, “but Mr. Gallagher refused. He said he’d ask for a favor once you’re less busy.”

Then arrange a meeting. It’s time for certain things to come to light.”

Ethan rested his finger against his chin, his expression unreadable.

That afternoon, Ethan met Marcus Gallagher at a tea house.

Mr. Hale, we haven’t met many times, but I consider us to have a deep connection. I won’t beat around the bush.

Marcus had been waiting for this meeting.

I am now certain that my daughter didn’t die at birth. She was taken! This is the person who took her.”

He pulled a photo from his pocket and placed it in front of Ethan. I’m also fairly certain where she was taken and where she is now. But there is one hing I’m curious about… and that is Mia Carter.”

Ethan sat on the bamboo chair and glanced at the photo.

Though it was an old photo from over twenty years ago and the woman in it looked very young, he recognized her instantly. It was the Director of Mia’s orphanage-Aunt May.

Who she is… is likely the secret you haven’t uncovered yet.”

Marcus’s face turned pale.

There were things he hadn’t officially confirmed yet, but he had already guessed the truth. If his suspicions were correct, then Mr. Gallagher and his >ranch of the family were truly rotten to the core!

Mr. Hale, thank you for telling me this. I know you’re involved because you want me to reclaim power within the Gallagher family so we can partner ip. But I’m sorry-I can’t do it. Power and money are too filthy. I only want my children to stay away from all of that.”

He was willing to give up the Gallagher family entirely. He just wanted his children to be healthy, safe, and happy, growing up in an environment free of schemes and full of peace.

It’s not entirely for business,” Ethan said softly. Regardless of how this ends, I hope you won’t let the innocent get caught in the crossfire.”

Marcus nodded slightly. “I understand. You’re doing this for Mia. Is the child yours?”

Ethan’s sharp gaze darkened instantly.

I’ll just give you a warning, Mr. Hale, Marcus said. “That child is in a dangerous position. I can only do so much. Rest assured, I won’t target the nnocent, but that doesn’t mean Mia is safe. You’d best watch yourselves.”

Marcus stood up and gave Ethan a slight nod. “I hope the next time we meet, we aren’t enemies.”

Ethan stood and extended his hand. ‘Of course. Take care.”

Marcus shook his hand, and after a few seconds of eye contact, he turned to leave.

Before he even stepped out of the private room, he pulled out his phone and dialed a number. “Sarah, let’s go find Nini. I’m taking you both away from

Everett…”

His voice drifted away.

Ethan sat back down.

Leo entered the room and closed the door. “Mr. Hale, Marcus is leaving. The rest is Mr. Gallagher’s family business. If you want to interfere…. I’m afraid you no longer have the standing to do so.”
