Falling into Her Trap: Don't Cross the Line, Mr. President-Chapter 145: Auntie Was the Unattainable Ex-Girlfriend

Chapter 145: Chapter 145: Auntie Was the Unattainable Ex-Girlfriend

The car door opened, revealing a slender white leg in high heels, attached to a woman with a graceful and slim figure.

As her face gradually appeared in Owen Crawford’s pupils, he was utterly stunned.

It felt like someone had hit him over the head, leaving his mind in chaos. It took him a while to find his voice: "Claire Shaw, why, why are you here?"

Images flashed in his mind of the woman in a cheongsam in Silvanest, leaning against Ethan Blackwood without showing her face, and the tall man he first saw at Claire Shaw’s home. Their outlines overlapped.

So the "aunt" Ethan Blackwood mentioned was actually his unattainable ex-girlfriend!

Owen Crawford felt like he was going insane, clinging to the last shred of hope.

After all, how could someone of Ethan Blackwood’s status drive such a cheap car? It must be a coincidence; Claire Shaw absolutely could not have come with Ethan Blackwood.

Just as these thoughts crossed his mind, a cold voice spoke: "She’s my girlfriend. Where else would she be if not here?"

Ethan Blackwood stepped out of the driver’s seat, walked over to Claire Shaw, and wrapped his arm around her slender waist. He spoke each word deliberately in front of Owen Crawford’s shocked eyes: "Let me introduce you, my girlfriend Claire Shaw."

The sentence pierced Owen Crawford’s heart like a sharp knife.

He mechanically looked at the tall man in a suit and the beautiful woman in a tailored cheongsam.

Putting aside everything else, they appeared to be a perfect match.

Owen Crawford couldn’t even form a complete sentence: "H-hello."

Claire Shaw didn’t gloat or show any smugness; she just looked at him quietly, like a passerby.

"Hello, sorry for the disturbance." Having said that, Claire Shaw brushed past him, not lingering a second longer.

That gaze pierced through Owen Crawford, telling him that Claire Shaw wouldn’t even get angry because of him; he was just an insignificant person.

Owen had always known about Claire Shaw’s coldness, but he didn’t expect she would choose Ethan Blackwood!

Seeing Ethan Blackwood’s car approaching reminded Owen of how every time he went to pick up Claire Shaw, she would say his car was too eye-catching, either asking to come herself or for him to park further away.

Owen couldn’t quite understand Claire Shaw’s mindset. What woman would be as low-key as her, never showing off? Clearly, she had the means to brag.

Even with the luxurious gifts he casually gave Yasmin Yorke, she would almost declare it to the world, only calming down after being warned by him.

In the past, he endured bitterly but never truly humbled himself to cater to Claire Shaw’s preferences.

But a man like Ethan Blackwood, with such status, drove a common car like a Volkswagen last time, and this time an Audi, all ordinary models.

When Claire Shaw wanted to keep her identity hidden, Ethan would protect her, ensuring she wasn’t exposed by his presence.

Owen clenched his fists, suddenly realizing many things.

So Claire was involved with him long ago! That’s why she was indifferent about his engagement.

Were they just taking him for a fool?

Clearly, they were kissing right under his nose last time, and he didn’t even realize it.

This is ridiculous!

But soon, anger was replaced by fear. When did The Crawford Family have an incident?

After Cecilia Lewis’s designs on Claire Shaw, then The Crawford Family had a series of incidents. Cecilia Lewis left with his wife and children, and Owen went begging him for help.

At first, Owen thought he was just too principled to help. Now he realized the one controlling everything behind the scenes was him!

He used this method to avenge Claire Shaw!

The agreed banquet was supposed to be in two days, but he suddenly advanced it, surely because of today’s events.

Thinking of the things he had done and said to Claire Shaw, Owen’s legs grew weak.

It’s over; he was completely finished!

The nearby butler noticed his pale complexion and asked with concern, "Junior Mr. Crawford, are you alright?"

Owen’s hands and feet were icy cold, as if his feet were frozen to the ground, unable to move an inch.

Now he could only hope that Ethan Blackwood was just playing around to vent his anger.

After all, for people in high society, the most important thing is interest. To Ethan, Claire Shaw was just a money-losing toy, and he wouldn’t be foolish enough to marry an illegitimate daughter against the whole Blackwood Family.

He understood Ethan defending Claire Shaw. After all, his woman was touched; a man’s dignity was at stake.

Though unwilling, Owen had been taught to admire and fear power since childhood.

The Blackwood Family’s strength far surpassed The Crawford Family. Just like during this incident with The Crawford Family, Ethan hadn’t even directly intervened. Just exposing The Crawford Family’s existing problems kept him extremely busy.

This meant Ethan still left some leeway; otherwise, The Crawford Family would be facing bankruptcy, not just trouble.

There is still a chance with this matter.

But this chance lies with Claire Shaw.

Suddenly Ethan Blackwood entered the living room with his arm around Claire Shaw’s waist. Yvonne Crawford, her pregnant belly evident, came over with a smile on her face.

"Ethan is here? Let me see what a stunning beauty my Ethan has found... wh-why, it’s you!"
