Chapter 225
After getting in the car, Grace was still rattled from what had just happened with Ethan.
But Ethan was naturally a cold, aloof person-he probably hadn’t done it on purpose. It just happened to be a case of low blood sugar that scared her into a cold sweat.
Even now, her back was still soaked.
Grace raised a hand to massage her temples. She then took out her phone and tried calling Ed again. The result was the same-it went unanswered.
She still didn’t know whether Levi had truly captured Ed or not, but she didn’t dare risk it.
She found Levi’s current address and slowly drove over.
But once she arrived, she learned that Levi had already gone back to the Henderson residence.
In Levi’s mind, Ethan was already dead. The Henderson family would soon fall into chaos, and Jordan would be forced to appoint a new heir.
Moreover, the heir could only be either him or his biological younger brother, Dylan.
As for Yancey? That fool was hopeless. Jordan had long since lost all hope in him.
Only Levi and Dylan were viable candidates. Since Dylan was still overseas and likely hadn’t heard the news, Levi figured it was the perfect time to rack up some points in his grandfather’s eyes.
He truly didn’t expect such a simple trick to be all he needed to take out Ethan. It was absurd.
The entire Henderson family had praised Ethan to the skies, calling him some blessed genius, and yet he had died so pitifully at the hands of a woman!
That heir position should’ve been his from the start!
“Grandpa is just biased!” he thought.
Levi’s smile couldn’t be hidden. It was practically spilling off his face. He could hardly wait to share this joy with the whole world.
By the time he entered the Henderson residence compound the smugness in his eyes was- overflowing-until he saw Ethan sitting calmly, having tea with Jordan.
It was like seeing a ghost. His legs gave out beneath him, and he collapsed straight to the floor.
Jordan frowned at the display. “What are you doing? Why are you getting on your knees for no reason?”
Levi stared at Ethan in terror.
But Ethan, seated in his wheelchair, simply sipped his tea with calm indifference as if he knew nothing.
A thousand questions flooded Levi’s mind.
Just two hours ago, he had
personally heard over the phone that something had happened to Ethan. Grace had sounded panicked, and there was no way she could’ve faked that.
Moreover, the poison he had provided was extremely fatal. It should have caused instant death upon consumption.
So how was Ethan still alive and well, sitting here like nothing had happened?
Levi broke into a cold sweat, dripping in thick beads. His lips began to tremble uncontrollably.
Jordan noticed his strange expression, and his expression darkened. “What on earth is wrong with you?”
That look on Levi’s face looked like his world was ending around him. How could someone from the Henderson family display such dramatic emotion in public?
Levi wiped the sweat from his brow, not daring to even glance at Ethan. He had no idea how much the man actually knew.
He didn’t dare stay in the Henderson residence a moment longer. Panicking, he tried to make a quick exit. Just then, he heard the click of a chess piece being placed gently on the board.
Levi suddenly felt like he was that tiny chess piece while Ethan was the hand controlling the board.
Ethan smiled faintly. “Dad, I’ll be heading off now as well.”
Jordan sighed. “Your health has only just improved. You need to take better care
of yourself in the coming days.”
