On that same night, while some people confirmed their feelings through overwhelming passion, others were struggling in an abyss of despair.
Ethan’s villa was filled with the heavy smell of alcohol.
Empty bottles were scattered everywhere–on the table, across the floor.
The once confident and commanding CEO of Rowe Group now looked like a pile of wreckage, collapsed on the living room couch like a lifeless rag.
His eyes were shut tight, his clothes wrinkled and messy–everything about him made it obvious he was completely drunk.
The butler, Terry Watson, and the other servants didn’t even dare approach him.
Eventually, the call was passed along to Hannah.
After settling Isla down for the night, Hannah arrived soon after.
Celia and the others had failed in their attempt to abduct Amelia, and they’d nearly exposed themselves in the process. That failure left Hannah with an unprecedented sense of unease.
Ethan and Mason were both extremely dangerous men. If they followed the trail and uncovered anything. both Celia and Hannah herself would have nowhere left to hide.
She needed a flawless plan.
The moment she stepped inside, the thick smell of alcohol hit her nose, making Hannah frown.
She looked around at the chaotic living room, then at Ethan lying motionless on the couch, and a complicated light flickered in her eyes.
Walking to the couch, she bent down, her voice perfectly measured with concern. “Ethan? Why did you
drink this much?”

Chapter 495 A Dangerous Invitation
She lightly touched Ethan’s cold forehead, feeling the faint heat caused by the alcohol.

Ethan didn’t respond. He only let out a muffled groan and rolled over, burying his face deeper into the couch.
The corner of Hannah’s lips curled into a faint, almost imperceptible smile.
Of course, she knew exactly why he’d ended up like this.
Amelia again.
That woman was like a curse wrapped tightly around Ethan. Even after losing her, he still couldn’t escape her influence.
But the jealousy quickly gave way to reason.
Hannah’s eyes shifted slightly, and a bold idea suddenly surfaced in her mind.
This… might actually be my chance.

Chapter 496 Not Her
The conflict on Ethan’s face deepened.
He seemed to be struggling to think clearly, but the alcohol had dulled his nerves so badly that he couldn’t reach the right conclusion.
Seeing this, Hannah grew bolder.
Step by step, she cautiously approached the couch again, then suddenly threw herself forward, wrapping both arms tightly around Ethan’s neck and burying her face into the hollow of his shoulder, clinging to him as she kissed his cheek and throat with near–obsessive intimacy.
This time, Ethan didn’t push her away immediately.
Hannah’s heart leapt into her throat, victory flooding her so strongly that it nearly drowned her.
But her triumph didn’t last long.
Even though Ethan was drunk enough that he couldn’t recognize people clearly, his body’s instincts and subconscious remained sharp.
He knew Amelia’s scent by heart.
Even if Amelia loved him, she was always restrained and reserved, carrying a quiet pride and modesty.
She would never behave this recklessly or urgently.
Which meant…
This wasn’t Amelia.
“Get away from me!”
The man roared again, this time far more violently, mercilessly throwing Hannah away with overwhelming force.
