Mr. Sterling, Mrs. Sterling is Multifaceted!-Chapter 315: I Will Rebuild Veridian Isle
He spoke while walking towards the desk, sat directly on the chair, crossed his legs, and continued, "Have you ever considered how many things I have to deal with all day long? Great, now I have to stay up every night, and I haven’t even had a good rest during this period."
Ethan Sterling closed the file in his hand, stood up shoulder to shoulder with Seraphina Redgrave, and snorted coldly, "You should be thankful this wasn’t my idea, otherwise you wouldn’t just be staying up late, you’d be risking your life."
Miles Harrington gritted his teeth in anger, understanding that the two of them were taking revenge on him, and looked at Seraphina Redgrave. Even with a million curses in his heart, he could only smile and say, "You are truly clever, I admire you."
Without spending any effort, she could make him and Nathan Ayers fight to the death.
Seraphina Redgrave noticed the fatigue between his brows, it seemed that his words about staying up late every night weren’t a lie, and she sighed a breath of relief, "Thank you for your appreciation."
"..."
Miles Harrington could only be thankful that years of experience had given him a steady temperament, otherwise back in the old days, he might have already started cursing.
"Miss, the staff to unlock the handcuffs is waiting downstairs." Nathan Ayers said respectfully.
"Okay."
Seraphina Redgrave nodded, glanced at Ethan Sterling, who asked, "Do you need me to accompany you?"
"No need, it’s just unlocking handcuffs, it’ll be quick."
After saying that, Seraphina Redgrave and Nathan Ayers headed downstairs.
The study door closed.
Leaving only Miles Harrington and Ethan Sterling in the room.
Miles Harrington stood up consciously from the stool and walked to the side, as Ethan Sterling took the seat, his expression somber.
Because of the recent troubles, Miles Harrington had lost quite a bit of hair, but in front of Ethan Sterling, he didn’t lose his temper, he just said, "Why did you make me come here saying it was my idea when it was clearly you who called me?"
What on earth is he thinking?
Ethan Sterling opened a locked drawer, took out a thick stack of files, and said, "Because my woman is too smart, if she knew I asked you to come, she’d definitely guess something."
"Guess what?"
Miles Harrington himself didn’t even know why he was here.
Ethan Sterling threw the files in front of him, crossed his hands, and placed them under his chin, "This is a list of all the financial families and political officials currently in Z country. I’ve roughly filtered through them, and most are in Sovereign. I’m planning to control them first."
"What? What do you mean?"
Miles Harrington thought he heard it wrong, and his eyes widened.
"The fake death tactic is only temporary, I won’t allow my woman to live her life as a dead person, so I want you to restore her identity, clear Veridian Isle’s name, and as for other obstacles, I’ll control them first."
Ethan Sterling’s words were not up for debate.
Hector Shaw wanting to grant Seraphina Redgrave freedom was absolutely impossible, so whatever Seraphina wanted to accomplish, he’d do it for her.
"Are you crazy?"
Miles Harrington’s face changed drastically, "Didn’t we agree before to pretend nothing happened, let Seraphina Redgrave stay here honestly as a rich wife, are you unwilling to let her be in disguised captivity? No problem, we’ll remove the electronic shackles, and after a few years, when Seraphina Redgrave is forgotten by everyone, you give her a new identity, can’t she then go out coolly and openly?"
If really can’t wait, then it isn’t impossible to undergo cosmetic surgery.
"No." Ethan Sterling said coldly, "She is Seraphina Redgrave, she doesn’t need any other identity."
"Huh? I really don’t understand, your current wealth is something that others can’t earn in ten lifetimes. Why don’t you just manage your money well? Why must you cause such trouble?" Miles Harrington pressed his hands on the desk, his chest heaving up and down.
He had used every ounce of his strength to return Z country to its previous calm state, but now this kind of talk suddenly sprung up, what is this? Is it intentional to mess with him?
"I want to rebuild Veridian Isle."
Ethan Sterling answered straightforwardly, without a shred of hesitation.
She can carve an epitaph for him with her drawings, so she can rebuild Veridian Isle for herself. This time, it’s not him compromising, but him doing it willingly.
"Then tell me, how do you plan to rebuild Veridian Isle?"
Miles Harrington turned green, "Do you think planning and preparation in advance is enough? Do you have enough manpower? Even if you can control all the financial groups in Z country, there are so many financial groups nationwide, how will you control all of them? Once they find a breakthrough, join forces against you, either you are finished, or Z country returns to the chaos of a hundred years ago, and afterward, other countries intervene, and our country will be completely doomed!"
"..."
Ethan Sterling did not show any relaxation in his expression because of his words.
"Fine, let’s take a step back, even if you can control all the financial groups in the nation, I can withstand international pressure, you’re now the president of Sterling Group, you represent The Sterling Family, are you going to bear all the dirty deeds your family has done over the past hundred years? Or do you want to dissolve Sterling?"
Miles Harrington asked.
"This Sterling, I don’t want it anymore."
A steely determination flickered in Ethan Sterling’s eyes, he had no attachment to all this wealth.
Hearing this, Miles Harrington’s legs went weak with fright, and he looked at him in shock, collapsing into his seat, "Since you were young, you thought about revenge, about taking over Sterling’s power, you planned for so many years, and now the thing you just got, you say you don’t want it anymore?"
"Hmm, is there a problem?" Ethan Sterling countered.
"Isn’t there a problem? There is a massive problem! Without Sterling Group, how will you live? How will you deal with Ryan Sterling? Anyway, I disagree, I absolutely will not go crazy with you!"
Miles Harrington’s voice raised eight octaves at the end.
He even began to suspect whether Seraphina Redgrave was a seductress sent by the opposing family, deliberately enchanting Ethan Sterling, making him abandon his power and wealth.
"Do you think I’m asking for your opinion?"
Ethan Sterling sneered, then quickly restrained his smile, got close to Miles Harrington, his eyes flashing sharply.
"Miles Harrington, I’m informing you."
"I refuse! There’s absolutely no way I would do it!"
Miles Harrington truly felt this person was completely crazy.
"Fine, then you stand on the opposite side of me, right?"
Though Ethan Sterling was asking him, his tone was frighteningly ominous, as if the moment Miles Harrington uttered no, he’d kill him immediately. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"..."
Miles Harrington sat there, looking at the madness-driven Ethan Sterling, feeling his head swelling. After a long time, he lowered his voice and smiled bitterly, "Ethan Sterling, aren’t you afraid that placing all your bets on Seraphina Redgrave, betting everything, in the end, you’ll lose it all? If you lose, how can you ensure this woman will continue to stay by your side?"
