Ethan’s Vengeance of Love
Chapter 142

Chapter 142

Ethan headed to Royale without delay after hanging up the phone. Alice told me that she prohibits mefrom informing the Woland Family about our marriage because she doesn’t regard them as her family.But Lydia and Cecilia are her best friends, so they are definitely the people she trusts the most. Doesthis mean I can disclose my identity? I can finally stamp my status as her husband in front of her bestfriends, right?

“Mr. Knight, Young Madam Knight is in Room 217 on the second floor.” Caleb knew that Ethan washeading over. Therefore, he had long awaited Ethan’s arrival in Royale. He even found out the roomAlice was in before Ethan arrived.

Ethan replied with a hum before he headed straight to the second floor.

The privacy in Royale was superb, especially in the specially designated private rooms. To meet theneeds of some guests and prevent some conversations from being heard, not only were these privaterooms soundproof, but they also had a small private room inside. If the guests wanted to discuss moreprivate matters, they could choose to discuss them in the small private room after they entered.

The private room that Alice, Lydia, and Cecilia were currently in was precisely this kind of speciallydesignated room. However, it wasn’t because they wanted to discuss private matters. Rather, it just sohappened that there were no other available rooms in Royale, leaving the server to arrange such aroom for them. Considering it was only the three of them, they figured they might as well go into thesmall private room now that they were assigned such a room.

And since there were guards keeping watch outside these rooms, ordinary folks couldn’t possibly stepinside without special arrangements. Nonetheless, this was inapplicable to Ethan. After all, he was noordinary folk.

Ethan pushed open the door and walked in. When he arrived at the door of the small private room andwas about to knock, he overheard the conversation that was currently going on in the room.

As Lydia and Cecilia knew Alice didn’t care about the awful things the Woland Family did, they didn’tbother wasting their time on them. They decided to wait for the result of the DNA test to come outbefore figuring out how to deal with the members of the Woland Family.

Even though they didn’t talk about all the nasty deeds of the Woland Family, there was still some juicygossip.

“I heard that Ethan actually showed up at the Woland Family’s banquet today. What was up with that?”Lydia was highly interested in this matter. After all, Ethan had always kept a low profile and rarelyshowed his face. Therefore, she was curious and surprised why the mysterious Ethan would appear atthe Woland Family’s banquet.

“Mr. Knight was the one who asked him to go.” Alice thought that since their marriage was nothing butan agreement, she was sure that Ethan wouldn’t have shown up at the Woland Family’s banquet ifLawrence hadn’t forced him to attend.

“Who can order Ethan around—” Lydia didn’t catch Alice’s words at first. She abruptly stopped halfwaythrough her sentences after she blurted those words. Her voice instantly went up a few notches, “Didyou just mention Mr. Knight? Is it the one whom I think it is?”

“Yeah.” Alice felt that not many could force Ethan.

“Mr. Knight!” Lydia gasped loudly, obviously replaceing it hard to believe. Then, she repeatedly asked forclarification, “Lawrence Knight, Ethan’s father?”

“Yes.” Alice couldn’t contain her laughter when she saw Lydia’s current state.

“Hold up. W-What’s happening? What exactly is happening? Why would Mr. Knight be bothered by thenasty deeds done by the Woland Family? And he even sent Ethan over. I don’t get it.” Lydia felt thatthis incident was simply way too surreal and completely illogical.

“Alice, why don’t you explain it to us?” Cecilia, who remained silent all this time, suddenly spoke. I amsure that Mr. Knight can’t possibly be bothered by those members of the Woland Family. Alice definitelyhas something to do with this. I know Alice is Tanner, and I also know that Mr. Knight has been lookingfor Tanner. Is it possible that Mr. Knight has found out that Alice is Tanner? Was that why Ethan Knightshowed up at the Woland Family’s banquet?

Since Cecilia felt that her speculation was considered rather bold, she didn’t dare to think of otherreasons.

“It’s nothing. It’s just that Ethan and I got married some time ago.” Although she couldn’t disclose hermarriage with Ethan to the public, Alice didn’t want to hide it from her best friends.

Outside the private room, Ethan curled the corner of his mouth slightly with satisfaction. Not bad. Shefinally stamps me as her husband this time. But what’s up with her tone? Does she not think shesounds slightly too casual when introducing me to her best friends?

“I see…” Perhaps it might be that Alice’s tone sounded too casual. Or it might be that Lydia’s thoughtswere still revolving around Lawrence. But of course, the main reason was that Lydia and Cecilia leftone particular license out of their considerations. That was why they showed little reaction after theyheard Alice’s words.

Lydia furrowed her brows and asked with pursed lips, “License? What license can you and Ethan taketogether?” It was clear that Lydia didn’t think of a marriage license at all. The same went for Cecilia, forshe could even pick up the teacup in front of her and sip her tea.

Alice looked at Cecilia and waited until she gulped down the tea in her mouth before she added, “Itinvolves a city hall, a town hall, or a city clerk, depending on the state. The license comes in an eight-and-a-half-inch by 14-inch paper. It’s only valid for a while and then expires anywhere between 10 days

and a year. Its cost ranges from 35 bucks to 90 bucks. It is said that many will take this license as longas they are of legal age…”

“It involves a city hall, a town hall, or a city clerk, depending on the state. The license comes in aneight-and-a-half-inch by 14-inch paper. It’s only valid for some time and then expires anywherebetween 10 days and a year. Its cost ranges from 35 bucks to 90 bucks. It is said that many will takethis license as long as they are of legal age…” Lydia and Cecilia repeated what Alice said.

Alice felt that her description was pretty detailed and specific. Yet, the two ladies in front of her weretotally off at this moment. They simply stared at Alice, looking confused and stupefied as if they werelistening to a story—a literary story. Either way, they looked as though they enjoyed the story despitenot understanding it.

Alice secretly breathed out a sigh before she continued, “Both parties and a witness must be aged 18years or older to sign the application form in the presence of a notary. Female applicants may also beasked if they want to change their last name when they apply for this license.”

This time, Alice stated a clearer and more specific description.

Meanwhile, outside the room, the smile on Ethan’s lips deepened, and his eyes beamed with anapparent sign of happiness. Little Fox is quite good at teasing people.

Finally, the two stupefied ladies who were listening to the story responded.

“Oh my!!!” Lydia was the first to come to her senses.

After that, the literary story instantly turned into a ghost story with Lydia’s shout echoing in the room.

Alice instinctively covered her ears, feeling she might have gone deaf thanks to the loud shriek Lydiahad made just now.

“Alice, get to the point and be frank with us. What’s going on? What kind of license did you and Ethanapply for?” Lydia demanded. Her voice remained as loud as before and even cracked when she spoke.

In truth, Lydia knew what license Alice and Ethan had applied for. It was precisely because of this thatshe was even more surprised to the point that she was about to go insane.

“Yeah. Tell us.” Cecilia nodded in agreement. “Don’t even think about leaving this room if you don’tmake things clear today.”

“It’s just a marriage license!” It did cross Alice’s mind that the two would be surprised when she brokethis news to them. Yet, she never thought that they would overreact to such an extent. Seriously? It’sjust getting a marriage license with Ethan.
