Alaina's eyes widened in sheer disbelief.
Mrs. Harrington had suffered a heart attack after she left that night?
She immediately pressed for answers, her voice laced with panic. "And then? Was she taken to the hospital? Is she stable?"
Seeing Ethan's cold expression and realizing he had no intention of answering properly, she turned to head to the hospital herself, only to be forcefully pulled back after just two steps.
"There is a limit to throwing tantrums. Stop being purely jealous, creating drama out of nothing, and repeatedly testing my patience," Ethan scolded coldly, pressing close to her.
Hearing this, Alaina gave a speechless, bitter smile, realizing his disappointment truly knew no bounds.
She clenched her fists, suddenly spotting Franklin Foster and several industry seniors walking in their direction—
She instinctively spun around to hide, her entire body stiffening as if cursed, terrified of being seen.
At the same time, several reporters rushed out from inside, enthusiastically asking as if they had discovered a new continent, "Mr. Harrington, did something happen here?"
Ethan blocked the reporters' line of sight with his body, raising a hand to signal them to keep their distance, and explained, "Just a fanatic fan. Please don't photograph her; let's give her some privacy."
With that, he politely thanked the reporters.
The reporters nodded repeatedly, praising the Harrington heir for his courtesy and assuring him they would comply.
Alaina stood frozen like a statue, completely motionless, and the reporters immediately lost interest, walking away together.
A second later, Ethan grabbed her shoulders with both hands, whispering a warning behind her back, "My mother and Lily are both patients who can't handle stress. If anything happens to them because of you, I will never forgive you."
Alaina bit her lip, completely ignoring whatever Ethan was saying.
Terrified of being seen by her mentor, she only wanted the ground to swallow her whole, determined not to humiliate Professor Foster any further as she broke into a run and fled.
Watching Alaina disappear around the street corner, Ethan let out an exhausted sigh before turning to enter the science and technology museum.
