Chapter 733:
“Was it you?” Emmett inquired, his voice laced with authority.
Ethan didn’t so much as blink. He had long grown used to his father’s rigid authority and the way he spoke as
though he were above everyone else. Meanwhile, Elsa simmered beside them, her anger practically radiating
from her eyes. If Emmett hadn't stepped in, she would have already hit Ethan.
“Yeah,” Ethan replied, his voice calm, unfazed by Emmett’'s commanding aura.
“Retract your report. Tell them it isn’t true,” Emmett commanded, his tone crisp and clear.
Ethan didn’t budge. “No. Falsely accusing a soldier would be a legal offense. Besides, the report includes
everything—solid facts and firsthand evidence. It's not a false claim.”
Emmett’s voice dipped into reproach. “You're going to destroy him.”
Ethan stayed composed, his expression unreadable. “He crossed a line by interfering in my life first. I'm only
doing what I have to do to stop him.”
Elsa couldn't hold back any longer. She shouted, her voice filled with fury, “How can you say that? That wasn’t
his doing. I told him to do those things. This falls on me.”
With a slow turn of his head, Ethan shot her a disinterested look. “He’s not shelpless kid. He's a grown man.

“You better say that again, | dare you!” Kenny exploded, springing to his feet. He jabbed a finger at Ethan from
across the wide coffee table, his anger flaring.
Ethan didn’t even blink. “Gladly. A man like you, who blindly obeys his mother, isn’t fit to be a soldier. The
moment you chose to meddle in my life because Mom told you to, you sealed your fate. You brought this upon
yourself.”
“He’s your brother!” Elsa roared, her voice cracking from rage. Her whole body trembled as she glared at Ethan.
Emmett’s brow creased at the outburst, but he didn’t move to stop her.

“Will you take it back or not?” he asked Ethan one last time.
“No,” Ethan answered flatly.
Emmett reclined in his seat. “Alright. Then let’s make a deal.”
After Ethan took the leap and started his own business, the distance between him and Emmett grew. They still
sat together at family dinners, but the conversations never went beyond polite exchanges. Though Emmett had
begrudgingly accepted Ethan's choice to leave the military path, he remained displeased.
