Chapter 143 

All the criticism Stephien threw at Ethan had come back to haunt him, and it was a slap in 

his face. 

Stephen could feel his face stinging with embarrassment, and his expression was ashen. He had to take a deep breath to force himself to calm down. 

“Hmph. It’s been half a month, and you’re still as sharp–tongued as ever. 

“I’m just stating the truth.” Ethan then asked, “So are you going to publicly criticize yourself? Or are you planning to hide this woman away in some mansion like a dirty secret?”

Stephen started to get anxious. He had brought Snow here to show her off to Ethan, yet it turned out she already knew Ethan personally. 

Recalling his foolish smirk and the stupid question, ‘If I don’t know her, do you?‘ made him feel utterly embarrassed. 

Ethan said, “I gave her a choice, and she chose death.” 

Three years ago, Snow’s predecessor, Nina, was sent to seduce Ethan. However, Ethan saw through her plans the moment she appeared. 

He put his phone in front of her.
