Ethan's eyes were sharp, as if he was about to order the bodyguards to kick the door of the Wilson family down. I couldn't escape anymore, so I put on a turtleneck sweater, wrapped myself tightly, and slowly walked down the stairs.

"Vincent, you come with me." I grabbed Vincent's sleeve tightly, not wanting to let go.

Under his sunglasses, Ethan's eyes were like knives, coldly falling on my hand. He immediately stopped Vincent and said, "Sorry, today is a family dinner, it is inconvenient to entertain outsiders."

Vincent smiled and patted my arm gently, "Don't be afraid, I'll wait for you outside." He picked up the key and walked towards his car. I instinctively looked for Ethan 's Rolls-Royce. Just as I was about to open the passenger door, the window suddenly slowly lowered. Sharon's bright and beautiful face showed a brilliant smile.

"Jasmine, long time no see." Her voice made me freeze in place, my hands frozen in mid-air.

Ethan frowned and opened the backseat door for me, "You sit in the back."

I sat in the back seat obediently, in silence. Sharon seemed extremely excited, talking non-stop, while Ethan simply agreed.

Suddenly, through the rearview mirror, Ethan 's scrutinizing eyes fell on my face, " Jasmine , why are you so quiet today?" In his memory, I always chirped like a little bird, and I would talk non-stop when I saw him. People always show themselves in front of the one they love deeply. Now that that cuteness has disappeared, will the others follow suit?

I shook my head gently, "I feel a little uncomfortable."

Ethan didn't say much, just stepped on the accelerator and soon arrived at the old house.

Mrs. Brown heard that I was coming and stood at the door to greet me early in the morning. "Jasmine!" She held my hand warmly and looked me up and down with a distressed look.

"Oh, I heard that you were kidnapped a few days ago. It's all Ethan's fault! He made enemies and you have been wronged." Mrs. Brown's eyes were filled with tears, and my eyes also turned red.

When the mountain torrent broke out, my parents died trying to save Mrs. Brown. I became an orphan. When the old lady of the Brown family came back, she adopted me and told me that the Brown family would be my home from now on. They raised me as their own daughter and asked Ethan to treat me as his own sister. And Ethan really took care of me for eight years like a brother, weaving a luxurious dream for me, but he pushed me into the abyss with his own hands.
