Chapter 393: The Clue

“Ethan, am I your all-around-nanny” Garrett continued whining over the phone.

“I only get paid for one person’s worth of labor, but I put in twice as much time”

“You want a raise? Wail, you don’t need money at all. What you really want is a vacation, don’t you?”
How could Ethan not tell what Garrett was thinking? He was like an open book

Garrett raised his eyebrows and said, “Do you realize how long I’ve been working for you without
having a proper vacation? Years!”

“Fine Once you finished the task I assigned to you, I’ll give you some time off.”

“Now we’re talking,” Garrett replied, obviously pleased with what Ethan said. But he had to be honest;
the fire incident was really weird

“I’ll call you once I find out something.”

For starters, Garrett visited the other residents of the building Ethan lived in and asked around about
the truck. It didn’t take long until he found some clues.

The fire incident happened on the day it stopped snowing in Seacisco. Was it truly just a coincidence?
If the fire broke out during a snowy day, it wouldn’t have spread to the rooftop that fast and cause injury
to Ethan.

Soon, Garrett told Ethan everything he found out.

They had their own theory about who had hired that truck driver. The man had once delivered seafood
for clients who lived in high-end gated communities, and the Lester family was on his customer list. But
still, it couldn’t really prove anything.



The Lesters could argue that he was just a delivery man and they didn’t even really know him.

“Without concrete evidence, it’s impossible to link the fire incident to the Lester family.” The case was a
little complicated. Although the clues seemed to lead to the Lester family, it was not enough.

For a moment, Ethan fell silent. Then he put down the documents he was holding and looked ahead,
expressionless. Garrett couldn’t guess what he was thinking

“Elissa has always liked this kind of dirty trick. I have long expected that she would make a move since
the day we came back from Grandma’s birthday party.”

Elissa had always wanted to get rid of Ethan ever since she first knew his existence. Ethan had been
keeping a low profile through the years, so that Elissa wouldn’t feel threatened and just let him be.

However, when he was at Nora’s birthday party last time, Elissa must have sensed something about
him had changed and she was all vigilant again

“You think Elissa is behind this? Do you think they have found out how you are related to the Larson
Group?” Garrett looked dead serious as well.

Having no idea what Ethan had been through during childhood, he didn’t know exactly what Elissa
could do to the latter

“I don’t think so. But one thing is for sure; Elissa won’t stop here. Sadly, we don’t have any conclusive
evidence yet. And even if we do, it will be hard to put Elissa behind bars because of the Lester family’s
influence.”

Looking at Ethan, who was lying on the bed with an indifferent look on his face, Garrett asked with
doubt, “Do you mean that we should do nothing? This isn’t you.”



Ethan’s most terrifying and frustrating quality was that he could conceal his thoughts and feelings so
well that no one could guess

. “Are you going to let them go just like that?” Ethan closed his eyes for a few seconds and opened
them again. This time, they looked sharper than swords. His smile also added to his domineering aura.

“The Larson Group will hinder the Leste family’s business from now on. We will leave them nothing.”

Out of all people, he should know that the best way to get back at Elissa was to bring down the Lester
family first

Ethan had been doing it for a decade now. The Larson Group was his most powerful weapon, and he
must be very careful with what he was going to do next

When Ethan was trapped on the rooftop, he had to call for the Larson Group’s helicopter. The news
would reach

Elissa for sure. She probably saw him as a bigger threat now if she knew he didn’t die in the fire, she
would make a move again. When that happened, Ethan would make sure he was fully prepared to fight
back

“Okay! This is more like it, buddy! We haven’t done anything big in the past few years. It’s getting
boring. But now!” Garrett said with a grin.

One thing he liked about Ethan the most was his determination. If it was someone else who told him
about taking down the Lester family, he would have laughed at that person.

But since it was Ethan who said that, Garret believed in him. He knew that the former never failed once
he set his mind to something.
