Chapter 24
After reviewing summary videos all night, Madison didn’t receive any news concerning Ethan’s schedule for the next day come morning. So, she closed her laptop and started to catch up on sleep.
In the past two years, she had never reversed her day and night rhythm. This was the first time.
In her former married life, Madison was always busy taking care of Lucas’s daily needs. She enjoyed this routine and her life was as calm as water, without even a hint of a love spark.
The previous night’s vigil successfully led Madison to have a series of dreams during the day. One after another, they were a total mess.
This dream seemed to gather everything from her past twenty-plus
years.
Her grandparents, parents, the planes carrying her dreams soaring in the sky, and later, Lucas.
She felt trapped in a cage, only able to watch as the planes in the distant horizon gradually faded away.
Until a hand appeared, pulling her out of the cage.
Dream Madison wanted to see the person’s face, but it was too dark.
When she was about to see the person’s face, four big characters. blocked her sight.

The brightly lit living room of the mansion.
When Michael came over with some files, he looked around through
his glasses: “Where is your private helicopter female pilot?”
The man put down his chopsticks and put on his glasses to read the file, “Is there something?”
“No, just curious.” Michael chuckled mischievously.
With indifference, Ethan replied, “She’s sleeping.”
At this, Michael’s eyeballs nearly popped out onto his glasses, and he cast a look full of astonishment at William not far away.
William shrugged, indicating that he was also puzzled.
Who would have thought that the boss was already working while the employee was still sound asleep?
Michael looked at his wristwatch, studying the dial.
If he wasn’t mistaken, it was already half past noon, right?
Michael put down his hand and asked leisurely, “What did you do last night?”
How intense and exhausting must it have been to make her still asleep at this hour?
Only then did Ethan deign to look at him, “Why did you choose to study law back then?”
“Huh?”
“You should have aspired to be a gossip journalist.”
Micha ghed, “Isn’t it the same? These years as a lawyer, I’ve been all sorts of chaotic things from others. But compared to ather listen to your gossip. Hey, tell me, how did your little ecome your female companion?”
Would you rather I asked you?” Ethan closed the file and threw it aside, “There are still some details that are not adequate. Redraft
them.”
Michael took back the file with gritted teeth, “Even if you asked me, I wouldn’t want to be your companion. Otherwise, our scandalous news would be all over the world the next day. I’m just simply
ly curious, you should be clear in your heart, once you expose her to the public, what will others say. Moreover, her divorce proceedings have not
been completed yet, right?”
“Aren’t you always boasting about being a top-notch lawyer?” After finishing his lunch, Ethan got up with his lighter and walked towards
the outdoor terrace.
The other two men followed close behind him.
Michael adjusted his shirt collar with pride, “What boasting? It’s clear that all the sharp-eyed colleagues in the industry unanimously think
so.”
Ethan, who had just lit a cigarette, sat down on the terrace sofa and crossed his legs, “Since you’re so brilliant, why don’t you make her divorce proceedings go smoothly?”
Michael was immediately stunned.

The man in the sofa did not seem to be joking at all.
Regaining his senses, Michael was unusually serious, “Ethan, are you out of your mind?”
“Why am I out of my mind?” A hint of a smile seemed to hang at the corner of Ethan’s mouth.
Micred his voice, extremely serious, “First of all, I have no ooking down on that lady, but the gap between you two
If you find life boring and are looking for some fun, I won’t word. But if you are serious, I advise against it.”
Ethan flicked off the ash from his cigarette, “Is your advice useful?”

Michael was about to pass out, his eyes filled with palpable tension,
Ethan.”
Hearing Michael call his name, William, who was by the side, looked at them.
The terrace was somewhat quiet. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
As a lawyer, Michael is always thoughtful. Even when he’s loose and careless, he is actually more principled than Ethan when it comes to
serious matters.
“Ethan, haven’t you seen what happens when two people who are worlds apart try to force themselves together? What’s your status? And hers? Okay, let’s say you have the ability, what about her? Have you ever thought about what she will face in the future if you really do something? Take your messy family for example, could a genuinely good girl marry you?”
Michael, blunt and harsh, was indeed stating facts.
Ethan’s unexpected encounter with Madison was all because Ethan was targeted by his father’s illegitimate son. Fortunately, he managed to hide in Madison’s house. If he hadn’t, whether he would still be alive was an open question.
Moreover, the Grant family’s relationships are incredibly complicated, like a pot of porridge.
Many people are eyeing the family shares in Ethan’s hands, setting traps anding for power, and there’s even an illegitimate son stirring
up
el went on, he couldn’t help but laugh, “Three siblings, all different mothers, and uncles who want their nephew’s life on
daily basis. Ethan, I’m worried for you, don’t hurt that girl.”
Only Michael would dare to speak such harsh words.
The terrace doors were open, and when the wind blew in, it not only brushed their faces but also reached the ears of an unexpected
listener.
Ethan wasn’t angry. He exhaled a puff of thick smoke, “Don’t I have the right to pursue what I want?”
Michael stood up, one hand on his waist, pointing at him vehemently,” Of course you do! But you can’t harm her. You’re not ignorant of Madison’s situation, she has nothing to fall back on. If anything really happens between you two, what will those bastards do to her behind your back? Ethan, haven’t you seen enough dirty tricks? Do I need to list them all for you again?”
“She is a pilot trained by the National Flight Academy! And those people in your family are really capable of killing!”
Won’t you regret it if something happens?
Won’t you feel sorry?
These words made even William, who was standing behind them,
lower his head.
In this world, even if you are the richest man, there are things you must endure, things you cannot do, and things you have to bear.
William asked, “So, can the President of Grant never fall in love or get married?”
“Of course he can.”

Michael spd his hands, grinning mockingly, “But please solve the adison were a wealthy heiress who is on par with you, e any objections. But she’s not, she’s just an ordinary might be able to withstand all the wind and rain, but
