Chapter 45

Despite seeing Ethan's frustrated expression, Estelle remained composed. She looked at Ethan with a hint of amusement while silently counting down to when he would start showing signs of annoyance. Before she could reach 20, he ended up threatening her. "Seth's lab overseas seems to be doing well, but have all his approvals gone through since he came back? You do know that even one violation could stop you from continuing your experiments?" Her expression turned cold. "Mr. Sawford, is that a threat?" Ethan adjusted his glasses and smiled sweetly. "Come on. Don't make it sound so serious. I was just giving you a gentle reminder as your big brother. If you really don't feel like talking, I'll leave you be." After saying that, he turned to leave. "Hold on!" Estelle stopped him before he could go. She took a deep breath and tried her best to calm down. "I'm free this Friday. If you happen to be available, too, let's have a chat." Ethan paused for a moment, then nodded with a smile.
