The Substitute’s Redemption Chapter 119
The little boy did not understand why, but after he had asked for help, the lady had cried.Children are very sensitive; he immediately assumed that it was his fault somehow. Especially since the man in the wheelchair looked so terrifying. The boy was suddenly very afraid.However, what the little boy did not know was that the moment he shouted ‘Mom’, Jane had trembled.Without thinking, she pushed Ethan's wheelchair away and did not look back.Ethan did not say anything. He let Jane push him away. He had deliberately chosen M County as their destination, it was just that whether they would meet Jane's mother or not depended on fate.He did not force it and he certainly had not expected to run into her on the first day. He was so unprepared. No wonder Jane's only response was to flee.The little boy behind her was still chattering as he explained to his mother.“The lady cried for some reason. The uncle with her was so scary. Mom, I wanted to give the ball to her but she left…”The bo

Jane did not remember having a good relationship with Stacy. During her years in the Harrison family, Selene bullied her openly and mistreated Jane to her face, but Stacy's attacks were more subtle, making her impossible to guard against.Now, looking at Stacy's teary eyes, Jane wondered if the other woman had gone crazy.“Who are you? Through her out!” Ethan did not recognize Stacy at all; they had never met despite her being his initial betrothed.“Jane! It is me! I am your big sister, Stacy! Save me! After I came abroad, that man had lied to me. He was married a long time ago.”“When he found out that I was going back home, he locked me up and went to the Harrison family to cheat them of their money. Save me…”Stacy never expected that one day, she would beg Jane to rescue her. But what could she do? She could not go back again; it would be digging her own grave.As long as she could go back alive, she would tell her father that she would not let off anyone who hurts her! Includi

The Harrington family was a large family with no lack of children. Heirs could be nurtured one after another.However, those who wanted to manipulate the Harrington family, monopolize its power and hurt its interests, deserve nothing less than to die.Ethan's mother had died in a secret power struggle, leaving him, a young boy, alone to face a group of predators.In order to survive, he had no choice but to hide himself. He had sowed his seeds of influence in the Harrington family long ago.But he wanted to play a good game of cat and mouse; to watch them fight like trapped beasts before leaving them helpless but to waste away.No one in the Harrington family was innocent. Ethan would not let anyone off, let alone be soft hearted. Therefore, compared to him, Jane's actions were not cruel at all.However, she had managed to surprise him. Jane had always endured the bullying in her school in silence, he had nearly forgotten that she, too, was fierce at heart!It was only that she prefer

After all, Peter Harrison had harmed many young girls, and many of them ended up pregnant.Not everyone of them had given birth safely like Jane's mother. And Ursula was not willing to let anyone snatch her assets away.Naturally, she arranged for the other girls to have miscarriages once she found out they were pregnant! This had caused a few girls in their prime to bleed previously and become infertile.Now that the Harrison family was in trouble, she was afraid of being dragged do

“Jane? What are you doing back home? We were supposed…”“You can walk?” Her eyes trailed from his feet up to his face to look into his eyes.Ethan felt his strength leave his body at her gaze, he couldn't keep lying to her… she would know. She was a medical student.“Since when? And you better not lie to me Ethan.” Tears gathered in her eyes but she stubbornly refused to let them fall and that was his undoing… Plus she called him by his name! She always called him ‘Dear’.“Since… ever,” he swallowed through a lump that was suddenly lodged at his throat as he watched her tears fall while he watched her shake her head in disbelief.“All this time… it was a lie?” She broke down and sank to the floor while Bruce let himself out without either of them noticing.“Jane…”“Don't… don't take another step, I want you to stay away from me. I can't even look at you.”The disappointment was present in her eyes and her voice, more than he could bear so he tried to reach out to her again but she ba

Ethan stood in stunned silence as the gravity of her words weighed on him. “Divorce?! Absolutely not. Jane please, just listen to me for a minute, ok? I didn't do it without reason.”“I honestly do not care what your reasons were. I am way past caring. Do you know what I went through because of you?!”The rest of the guards stood in stunned silence and gaping looks. The Young Madam really asked for a divorce?Arnold had on a wry smile as he looked down at his hands. He may find his Young Master annoying but he certainly did not want him to go back to being unhappy.Bruce stepped away from the rest and called Ivy, he knew she was the only one Jane would trust enough to leave with.“You better have a damn good reason for calling me at this particular moment because I plan to have your hide when I see you.”Ivy spat as soon as she picked up, her voice dripping with venom and he had no doubts that she would make good on that promise.“Listen to me Ivy, there is a very good reason Young M

Ivy's fingers twitched in worry and slight fear as she watched Jane turned her head slowly to look at her from the screen. It was almost robot like.“Jane… I promise it's not what it looks like.”“Really?”Ivy nodded like a hen pecking rice. Right now, Jane looked every bit like her husband.“And you expect me to believe that?! The message is right in front of me, I can see it and you dare to lie to my face?”“How could you even do this to me? You sold me out! Betrayed me! I am so disappointed in you,” Jane stabbed a finger at Ivy ruthlessly.“Jane, please just give me a minute to explain…”“Explain?! What exactly are you going to explain? You want to cook something up? Go right ahead then, I'm listening.”“Ok, please just listen. Bruce called me a bit after you did, I was already on my way to pick you up.”“He pleaded with me to bring you here for your safety. I think your husband is going to do something soon and you need to be well protected.”“He did not tell me everything but he

Arnold eased the car into the VIP parking and Bruce hopped out of the passenger seat and held the door open for Ethan.They were directed to the CEO only elevator by the security guard assigned to the VIP parking to get investors and the big shots of the business world straight to the hallway of the event hall without the hassle of uninvited press.Ethan had purposely delayed his arrival so he could interrupt Cassidy’s speech so when the huge double doors were thrown open, the attention of the guests and press were redirected.The event was being broadcasted and streamed live so almost everyone in the country was watching, millions of people were tuned into the livestream.“The Young Master really knows how to make a grand entrance,” Arnold said just above a whisper, standing at Ethan's left side.“Of course,” Ethan responded in the same tone, “Now shut up, the shot has to look cool. The Young Madam would definitely be watching this.”“Ah, yes. He needs to woo the Young Madam again. W

Jane woke up in an abandoned warehouse north of the city.Because the wedding was tomorrow, Jane had been resting very early recently and even slept in separate rooms with Ethan.Ever since they started having sex, her husband's self-control seemed to evaporate every night, as if he wanted to make up for years of deprivation.It drained Jane of her energy, leaving her unable to wake up the next morning. Ivy had laughed about it at her expense for a long time.However, Jane did not expect to receive a call from the old folks' home the day before her wedding. They had said that her grandmother was dying and wanted to see her for the last time.After careful consideration, Jane decided to grant her request. Ethan had been very busy recently as most of his businesses were conducted domestically now.Now, Ethan had changed and was stepping into new shoes as a new man, so Jane chose to pop down and come back without disturbing him.Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped into the ward, her gra

Jane was stunned silly, his father had gone that far?“Jane?...”“Continue, I'm listening. How did he even know her in the first place?”“He had an ulterior motive that he didn't want to handle directly so when Claire orchestrated the accident that took the Owens' lives, he secretly contacted her and threatened her with it.”“She was only too ready to comply with his orders. Claire had initially thought that Cassidy and I would be married when we were older and she apparently… liked me.”“So she figured marrying me as Cassidy would solve that for her but you came into the picture, she was receptive to my father's orders.”“He had told her to get you out of the house in anyway possible and he would take it from there…”“So?”“He arranged the robbery… when your passport was stolen. You would be stuck there if you didn't have it.”“He had arranged for you to meet Brock Davenport at the hospital so he would take you with him…”“Hold on, so Brock knew?”“He was in on it because my father p

Ethan's eyes went wide, Bruce put his hands on his head and Arnold stumbled a bit.The officer finally decided he had had enough and left after tucking the speeding ticket into Bruce's pocket. He shook his head and mumbled, “Rich people and their problems”.When he had come out to work today, he had not expected to see the drama from the novellas his wife always watched in real life.The other guards stood by silently, watching and wishing they had not given in to this Young Miss. She wouldn't have been able to come here on her own.Jane clenched her fists and finally decided she had had enough and she let her words out without filtering them one bit.“Now listen here, you poor excuse of a noblesse daughter,” Everyone's eyes went wide, “I do not care where you have come from, your money, title or none of that shit.”“That is all you will say in front of me. You open your gutter and utter one more word, I will make sure to give you what your abductors did not.”“A new facial reconstruc

Jane sneered at the television in disdain and picked up her phone to call Bruce.When he finally picked up, she stated abruptly, “Tell your Young Master not to come back!”“He should not set foot in the villa. I have changed the passcode so he shouldn't bother with anything.”__________Bruce was stunned and immediately walked up to Ethan who was on his way out after the conference was done.“Young Master, the Young Madam called.”A smile bloomed on his stoic face at the mention of his Jane.“She said not to bother coming back and that she has changed the passcode of the villa.”Ethan's smile fell and an overwhelming sense of panic set in, he ran off to the parking lot with Bruce hot on his tail, both ignoring the calls of Cassidy.He got to the car and frantically gestured for Arnold to unlock it. They both got in with a confused but alert Arnold wondering what the problem was.“To the villa, as fast as you can go!”Arnold started the car and raced out of the parking lot, no one noti

Ethan opened his eyes first and glanced at the alarm clock on his own bedside table. It read 6:00am, he turned to admire his wife with her hair fanned out on the pillow.Smiling at the memory of last night, he tucked a stray lock of hair away from her face. It had taken some time and serious work to convince her but he did.He had to go pick up Cassidy from the abductors’ den. His guards had infiltrated the den the night before and rounded them up in minutes.They were no match for these ones as they were former mercenaries he had given shelter, a job and a new life.Ethan got up reluctantly to take a shower. All he wanted to do was stay with his little wife in bed and cuddle.He would have that soon enough, bringing back the annoying little critter was more important at the moment since his jet was more convenient than a commercial flight.Shooting Bruce a text to pick him up, he then proceeded to accessorize before planting two kisses on her lips and forehead.He left once Bruce let

Jane's eyes fluttered open and the soreness of her lady bits hit her like a train, she recalled what had happened and blushed. She had finally consummated her marriage.The rumbling of her stomach jolted her from her thoughts, she was hungry. She sniffed the air and smiled, he was in the kitchen.She had a quick shower and tip toed out of the room, she peeked into the kitchen and watched her husband's back muscles ripple as he plated the pasta he just cooked.“Jane, baby, get over here and sit. I can feel your eyes on my back,” he chuckled and she scrunched her nose as she blushed in embarrassment.“That's impossible, how did you know?” She took a seat at the kitchen island and beamed at her plate.“I heard you close the bedroom door. Letting the door close noisily is not exactly wise if you were trying to sneak up on me.”He pinched her cheeks still rosy from her shower. She dug into the pasta with gusto, moaning at the first bite.Ethan swallowed as his brain fed him with flashbacks

Ethan kissed her again and laid her down on the messy covers. Leaning forward, he let his mouth linger on the shell of her ear, his breath tickling her neck.Jane shuddered at his touch, eyes bright and hazy with the eagerness to learn and desire pooling in her belly.He lightly traced her jawline with his nose, enjoying the way her breath hitched.Jane felt she could burst into flames at any moment, feeling goosebumps spread down her neck and chest. He had barely touched her but she was ready to melt into a puddle.Ethan wasted no time sinking his hand into the hair at the nape of her neck with a mild grip. His free hand slipped around her body and palmed her ass as his lips hovered barely an inch over hers, making her moan into his mouth.It felt like he was everywhere at once and all she could do was hold onto him and take it. Then his mouth travelled down her neck, sucking and nipping, she was now practically panting.Ethan sunk to his knees by the bed in front of her, tugging at

The cops tried to talk her out of it as she backed the exit and attempted to leave with the hostage but was quickly immobilized by two bullets from a Ruger SR22.Shot on target by a retired female general and shattered her kneecaps.She was quickly dragged out and calm was restored within the shocked guests.“I would like to state that the real Cassidy Owen is safe and will be returning soon, that's all.”Ethan walked out amidst shouts for interview requests from the reporters and stunned silence from the rest of the audience.Only the comments from the live stream was active even after he left.He rushed to the car and settled in, thinking of how cool he must have looked.“Take me to the villa instead, and don't wait. I will be sleeping with my wife today.”Bruce and Arnold glanced at each other, understanding their Young Master's intentions so when they dropped him off in front of the gates of the villa, they shouted some encouraging words.“Take care, Young Master. You have to do i

There was an uproar both at the event and in the comment section of the live stream. The directors stood stunned at his statement and the reporters began taking pictures and video cameras were focused on the people at the doors of the vault.Jane went mute in front of the television while Ivy screamed in surprise.Cassidy went pale in fear and horror but composed herself and tried to defend herself.“Mr. Harrington, we have been friends for many years but I do not think I like this joke.”“Friends? I have no recollection of ever being friends with a wannabe imposter. That is extremely beneath me and very insulting.”“Mr. Harrington,” the older director, Mr Jenkins, called out to him, “You do realize that you can't just say things like this…”“Oh I can, because I've known my friend since childhood and that… is not my friend.”“Ethan, if this is about what happened at your house with your wife… I apologize. However, you can't disrupt my inauguration because you want to be petty…”“Petty
