Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love - Chapter 524
Chapter 524: Chapter 527: Start Investigating the Events of That Year (2)
“Cough, sister-in-law, please sit.”
“Okay, you can sit too.” Lily Gray sat down on the sofa, followed by Skye Brown and Joan Wellington, who both took seats next to her.
A chill ran down Ian Moore’s spine.
Under the watchful eyes of the three women, he slowly sat down opposite them.
All his usual nonchalance and cynicism had vanished.
“Sister-in-law, Joan said that your memory has recovered, and you have something to ask me. Feel free, I promise to tell you everything I know, without any… ”
“No need for that.” Skye Brown cut Ian Moore off, “Just tell Lily everything you know about Hannah Ford. Don’t leave out a single word!”
The three women had discussed this beforehand.
To avoid Ian from protecting Ethan Wilson with his usual tricks, it was best for him to confess everything himself.
If they questioned him directly, they might miss something, thus giving Ian a chance to slip through the cracks.
Upon hearing Skye Brown, Ian’s dark black pupils flickered with interest.
Telling them about Hannah Ford… it seemed that Lily Gray was starting to suspect Blanche Ford?
If that was the case, things would be easy. He had been fed up with Hannah Ford’s holier-than-thou facade for a while now.
“Alright, Skye, whatever you say… If you want to know about Hannah Ford’s story, I’ll start with how she and Ethan Wilson met.”
He didn’t bother to ask how Lily Gray knew about Hannah Ford, and just started telling the story.
His deep, magnetic voice resonated softly through the living room.
It was only after Ian Moore finished his tale that Lily Gray and her companions finally understood.
Ethan Wilson had apparently experienced a premeditated kidnapping in his childhood.
After receiving the ransom, the kidnappers had no intention of releasing a still young Ethan Wilson.
They planned to sink him into the depths of the ocean.
While en route to the seaside, either by some divine fortune or sheer luck, Ethan Wilson managed to break free from his restraints.
Seizing the opportunity while the kidnappers were distracted, he opened the car door and fled as their vehicle was momentarily stopped in the middle of the road.
His frantic and blind escape…
Due to the torture and abuse he had endured after being kidnapped, he barely had the strength to outrun the pursuing criminals.
As soon as they discovered his escape, the kidnappers chased after him.
It wasn’t until he passed by the corner of an orphanage’s wall that he was suddenly grabbed by a small hand and pulled into a short grove of trees.
“Was it Hannah Ford who pulled Ethan into the grove?” For some reason, this speculation slipped out of Lily Gray’s mouth.
It was as if she had been there herself, witnessing the entire scene with her own eyes.
“Yes, you’re smart, sister-in-law.” Ian Moore nodded, “It was Hannah Ford who pulled Ethan into the grove at the orphanage where she had been taken in by the Ford family.”
“Afterward, those kidnappers continued searching the area but could not find either of the children hiding in that grove. They thought Ethan had run into the orphanage and looked for him there, until they finally gave up that night.”
“By the next day, when the kidnappers couldn’t find Ethan, they assumed he had run far away and started looking for him elsewhere. That was when Ethan and Hannah finally became safe.”
Lily Gray and Joan Wellington listened carefully.
But Skye Brown suddenly spoke up.
“From the looks of it, this Hannah Ford really did save your husband, Lily. But even if she did him a favor, there was no need for Ethan to repay her by marrying her! Anyone with a kind heart would help in such a situation. No one would ever demand marriage in return.”
