No Sex for Six Years Because of Her? I'm Done novel Chapter 438

Chapter 438 The Offer in the Shadows

A knowing spark flashed across Celia’s face.

She suddenly leaned closer and gave Hannah a mysterious wink.

“Ms. Gray,” she said softly, “don’t you want the same thing I do?”

Hannah frowned.

Celia kept talking. “You want to marry Ethan, but he was married, so you had to wait. Now he’s finally divorced, but your relationship hasn’t moved forward like you hoped. It’s just stuck. Right?

“Because of this, you rushed to the hospital when Fiona was dying. You wanted to grab this chance.

For a brief second, Hannah looked surprised. Then she smiled calmly.

“Looks like you did your homework before coming to see me.”

She and Celia were the same kind of person. Both would do whatever it took to reach their goals. Hannah didn’t bother pretending.

Being exposed didn’t embarrass her. If anything, it gave her something to talk about.

“But even if you’re right, it proves nothing,” Hannah said, taking back control of the moment. “Since you know we’re the same, you should know I won’t help you if it hurts Ethan. After all, your precious son is trying to take what belongs to him.”

Right now, Hannah was thinking very clearly.

Helping Celia meant becoming Ethan’s enemy.

She wanted power, yes. But she wasn’t stupid enough to make a losing deal.

Çelia’s face darkened slightly.

She knew normal business benefits wouldn’t move a smart woman like Hannah.

After a moment of silence, something cold and determined flashed in her eyes.

“What if I told you…” she said slowly, offering bait, “if you help me find Derek and make sure Fiona’s will leaves a share for us. In return, I’ll help you marry Ethan.”

Hannah felt her heart slam hard against her chest.

Marry Ethan.

That was her dream. The final goal she had been working toward for years.

But how dare she promise something like that?

The temptation only made her more suspicious.

Hannah’s eyes turned sharp.

“Help me?” she scoffed. “You think you can just say the words and make it happen? Ms. Boyd, you think way too highly of yourself. Why should I believe you?”

Celia didn’t get angry at the suspicion. If anything, she looked more relaxed.

Like she had expected this question.

She calmly picked up her tea, took a sip, and then spoke slowly.

“Ms. Gray, you misunderstand. On my own, of course I can’t do it. I’m nothing in their eyes. Probably less important than an ant.”

She paused, set down the cup, and her eyes suddenly shone sharply.

“I can’t do it, but Derek can.

“Think about it, Ms. Gray. No matter how much Fiona dislikes her son and favors Ethan, Derek is still her only child. By law, she can’t give everything to her grandson and skip her son completely. Derek’s inheritance is guaranteed.

“And everyone knows what Derek is like. He can’t run a business. He has no big goals. As long as he keeps his shares and lives off the dividends, he can party his whole life. If the Rowes‘ empire falls into his hands, it will fall apart. Ethan knows this better than anyone.

“So if we find Derek and get him to step forward, all he has to do is make a deal with Ethan.”

Celia lifted one finger and tapped the air lightly. “He can transfer everything he inherits from Fiona. The money. The shares. All of it. Give it to Ethan so Ethan can fully secure his control over the family. Under one conditión, of course…”

She stared straight at Hannah. “Ethan has to marry you.”

Marry you.

Those words exploded in Hannah’s ears like thunder.
