RedNovelChapter 253 "Ethan, it's me, Grace. Please don't treatlike this." The moment her voice trailed off, she fell silent. She saw Ethan slowly rise to his feet, and her pupils dilated in disbelief, Had Ethan's legs healed? Ina panic, she crawled toward him, rubbing herself against his feet. It was such a pathetic display. "Ethan, letserve you-please."" Inthe dark, she radiated her charm, hoping to catch his attention.

She couldn't hold in her scream, and before long, the pain struck her other leg as well. Ethan moved closer, crouching beside her. His voice was cold, almost casual. "Call Grace here." Alice froze. She couldn't say a word, especially not with the gun pressed against her forehead. His voice even held a hint of amusement. "You have a way, don't you? Call her here." Fear filled Alice's eyes. She had never been afraid of death, but now, she was trembling all over. All she wanted was to survive. She would do anything to stay alive. ---- Desperately, she nodded, tears streaming down her face. Why would he still want Grace even at a moment like this? Damn that Grace. She was nothing but a tramp. Why wouldn't she just die? Shaking, Alice pulled out her phone, afraid that another second's delay would result ina bullet piercing her skull.
Ethan was both dangerous and irresistible. Screaming silently in her mind, she quickly dialed Carmen's number. "Mom, hurry and call Grace. Tell her she has to come. Tell her Ethan needs her now!" With that, she hung up quickly, not daring to look at Ethan. He loomed over her, squatting by her side like she was just a stray dog. Maybe she was even less than that. In his eyes, she was nothing but a piece of trash lying on the street. But Ethan was so damn attractive.
Even now, with everything falling apart, Alice still tried to plead her case. Maybe by now, Ethan was completely out of it from the drugs. "Ethan, lettake care of you. I can make you feel so much better. And Grace is tainted. She doesn't even know how many men she's been with. She's not worthy of you." The moment the words left her lips, a bullet hit her shoulder. All she could feel was terror as she scrambled backward, her body shaking.
She was still unable to comprehend what had ---- just happened. This wasn't the Ethan she remembered -the distant, powerful figure who calculated his every move. Ethan quietly sat back down in his wheelchair, slowly wiping the gun barrel. He didn't speak. The weight of his presence was too much for Alice. She wanted to scream from the pain, but she held it in. She didn't dare to make a sound. She just needed Grace to get here fast, or she would die right here.

Carmen was terrified that Alice might really be in trouble, so she rushed to find Grace. "Grace, you need to go find Alice. She's in danger. She used your phone to set up a meeting with Ethan. I don't know what's happened, but something's wrong." Grace stood up from her chair, thinking she had misheard. "What did you say?" Carmen, looking guilty, couldn't meet her eyes. "Alice toldshe wanted Ethan, so I took your phone and handed it over to her.
She just called me, crying, asking you to her. to go to her. Somethingmustve happened. m
