Chapter 1481

After Ethan stormed off after arguing with Francine, he went to the ward next door where Seraphina was.

Seraphina was still a bit stunned from her stint in the pond, but she was awake now. She just needed to stay in the

hospital for two days of observation.

Seraphina stopped pacing when Ethan entered the ward, and quickly ran up to him. "How did it go, Daddy? What

did Madam Francine say? Did she allow me to see Stefan?" When Seraphina had been admitted after nearly

drowning, she cried and complained to Ethan, hoping that her father would help her win Stefan back.

"Why do you want her to say yes? I've already fought with them," Ethan said smugly. He had been waiting for this

day for a long time, but his hands had been tied because of Seraphina. Now, he could bask in his victory.

Seraphina's eyes bulged and she shrieked, "What?! Why would you do that? I asked you to make peace with them

but you-"

Annoyed, Ethan snapped, "Wake up, Seraphina! They never took us seriously. You took such good care of Stefan,

but what did you get in the end?"

"I did it willingly! I'll be happy as long as I'm with him, and I don't need anything in return."

"Shut up!" Although Ethan doted on his daughter, he was disappointed in her. "You’ve got no guts, but our family

isn't like this. We might not be as strong and powerful as them, but we're still quite formidable. But they've

humiliated us twice because of this marriage, and we've become the laughingstock of the city. I don't want to be

humiliated any longer!" The Murphy family had been humble and flattering for a long time so the Hunts would go

through with the marriage, but Ethan was a man with a temper and pride. His hatred towards the Hunt family grew

as time passed, and he yearned to see them fall, i

"You know that Stefan is the only man I love, Daddy. I finally got close to him, but now you've ruined everything! Do

you want to see me kill myself?" Desperate, Seraphina ran to the window and yelled, "Why don't I just end it all?

You've got an illegitimate son anyway, and he can join our family after I'm dead!"

"Seraphina, love, calm down. Why did you bring him up again? I love you the most, and all my property is yours. I'll

get you any man you want, so please come here..." Ethan immediately rushed over to Seraphina and hugged her

waist, saying helplessly, "I didn't want to fight, but Francine said some nasty things. I said you were nearly killed by

her grandson, but she said you were useless and must have offended her grandson, which was why you deserved

it... How could I let that go?"

"Yes, Madam Francine was right. I did try to push that kid first, but he pushed me into the pond instead. I was the

one at fault, so why would you use that incident to negotiate with Madam Francine?" Angry, Seraphina stamped her

"You had almost drowned, I had to demand an explanation from them! They're just lucky I didn't kill the brat," Ethan

huffed grumpily. He adored his daughter, so he considered his lack of action tolerant enough.
