Chapter 294: Chapter 290

Next scene, Lisa was loudly reprimanding Ariel, who was crying uncontrollably.

Finally, Lisa couldn’t stand her crying anymore, raised her hand again, but this time Damon blocked it. The hand print on his face was left by Lisa.

Watching this video, I felt a bit better. After all, Lisa slapped Ariel for me, indirectly letting off some steam.

"Alright, thanks." I handed the phone back to Hannah and softly thanked her.

"Ms. Brooks, what’s the deal between Ariel and Mr. Coleman?" Hannah hesitated for a moment before bravely asking me this question.

I grabbed a bottle of red wine, got two glasses of it, handed one to Hannah, and we chatted while drinking.

What’s the deal between Damon and Ariel? I’m somewhat puzzled. During my past life, I could say they were truly in love. In this life, I can’t describe it at all.

However, I still briefly told Hannah about the recent events, considering Joshua should have told her about the past.

Hannah’s face grew more and more distressed until I finished speaking. She then gathered her courage and said, "She’s so lucky. Mr. Coleman actually likes her, and so does Nancy, even treating her as a daughter. It’s so unfair"

I don’t think she’s jealous of Ariel, but rather thinking about her brother’s unfortunate fate.

After all, Joshua and Ariel were once lovers. Initially, they started at a similar point, but now Joshua is dead, and Ariel’s life is getting better and better.

"By the way, Hannah, I suddenly remembered something, ’you mentioned before that you opposed your brother dating Ariel. Why? Can you tell me now?"

Hannah stared at the red wine in her glass for a long time before sighing. "Ms. Brooks, the Ariel from before, wasn’t as innocent as everyone thought. I discovered it by accident, so I started opposing them."

"Can you elaborate?" I asked again.

Hannah hesitated for a moment, but eventually told me why she didn’t like Ariel.

It turned out that the first time Joshua brought Ariel home, She was docile and innocent, very likable.

But when Joshua wasn’t home, Hannah accidentally saw Ariel making a phone call. It sounded like she was breaking up with another boy, and her tone was very harsh.

"That boy must have been Ariel’s ex-boyfriend. from high school. They were always entangled. But Joshua told me he was Ariel’s first boyfriend." Hannah was somewhat angry, "She had been lying to him!"

"So you started disliking her since then?" I didn’t expect that Ariel had such a past, and it was discovered by Hannah.

"I think people like her are scary. They seem harmless, but they’re actually very scheming. I warned Joshua at the time, but he only cared about Ariel, so I could only watch helplessly." Hannah finished her glass of wine after saying this.

I didn’t deny Hannah’s words, but instead it reinforced my decision not to tell her about the doubts surrounding Joshua’s death. She’s already having a hard time, she doesn’t need any more pain.

"Can’t Mr. Coleman see clearly? Why does he like Ariel? And I thought he want to get back together with you? Why is he still involved with Ariel?" Hannahs tone was full of confusion.

I smiled and said, "I don’t know, maybe he’s got some issues."

Hannah and I were so engrossed in our conversation that neither of us noticed Damon’s arrival. It wasn’t until our glasses of wine were empty and I suggested Hannah go rest first, that she got up, looked back, and was startled back onto the couch, "Mr. Coleman!"

I also quickly looked back, Damon probably heard our conversation just now, especially the part where we said he couldn’t see people clearly, so he didn’t look happy.

"Ms. Brooks, I’ll go rest first," Hannah said quietly, then quickly left.

I put the wine glass away, then stood up and said, "I’ve had enough to drink, I’m going to bed."

"Let’s talk." Damon sat down next to me, grabbed my hand, and had me sit back down.

I was somewhat unwilling, but I didn’t resist, just sighed deeply, "Go ahead, what do you want to talk about?"

Damon didn’t let go of my hand, but gently stroked the back of it. His tone was filled with deep helplessness, "If I don’t tell you, will you continue to doubt me?"

I didn’t say anything, just lowered my head to look at the now empty wine glass.

The living room was very quiet, only Damon’s voice could be heard. He slowly explained to me, not as sharp as he was upstairs earlier.

Despite my bad mood, and still thinking about what Jones said, I listened carefully to every word Damon said.

What he said was completely different from Jones’s.

I was shocked, "Ethan is Catherine’s biological father?!"

"Yes, back then Nancy betrayed her husband and had Catherine with Ethan." Damon raised an eyebrow, "So that’s why he takes special care of Soul Enterprises, and has ulterior motives for Ariel, are all because of Nancy."

"You and Ethan..." I was somewhat dumbfounded.

"I just know him, but we’re not close. Plus he knows about you and me, so he’s very wary of me. So the fastest way is through Ariel, you understand?" Damon suddenly applied a bit of pressure on my hand with his fingertips. I felt a little pain in my palm, I wanted to pull my hand back, but he held it tightly.

I couldn’t help but ask, "Damon, does my dad’s case really have nothing to do with you?"

Damon’s face was stern, "Jones spilled the beans, didn’t he?"

I felt a bit awkward, "How did you know?"

"Do you think I wouldn’t know what he’s up to? I ran into him at the hospital today, you must’ve seen him too. If he gets a chance to see you, he’ll definitely say something to make you doubt me, to distance me. I know Jones like the back of my hand." Damon sneered, "Do you really think he’s as much of a saint as he makes himself out to be?"

I didn’t say anything, because I knew Jones only acts like a saint when he’s got nothing to gain, but if he wants something, he’ll stop at nothing to get it.

Damon pulled me into his arms, gently pinching my chin with his other hand, "What do I have to do to make you trust me? Don’t you have any Lisa in me?"

I awkwardly avoided his gaze, not answering him.

Damon sighed, "I’m practically sacrificing myself to keep my promise to you, and this is how you treat me?"

"And Nancy? Won’t she suspect you? You’re living with me but running off to see Ariel," I retorted.
