Chapter 278 Did You Change Your Last Name?
The middle–aged man also noticed her gaze and smiled gently at him.

Hazel furrowed her brows. This man was the one who had poured water for her at Ivan’s place before. How could he appear here with Tyree?
Could it be that Ivan and Tyree had some underlying connection?
Miley also noticed Ethan.
Compared to the calmness in Tyree’s eyes next to her, her pupils suddenly contracted, flickering with a nervous gleam, and she tightened her grip on the man’s hand.
Hazel coldly glanced at her and pulled Ethan to the nearby resting sofa..
His body had already reached its limit.
She went to the side and poured warm water. She forcefully pried open his tightly clenched fist and comforted, “Drink some water.”
Just now, Hazel discovered that his body was trembling.

in the body.
The man looked up and met her forgiving gaze, with her words continuing in his ears, just like falling into a hot spring when walking in the icy snow and about to lose consciousness.
The stiff body gradually began to regain warmth.
“Stay calm first, I would definitely make sure they pay the price they deserve.”
“So no matter what they say to you later, don’t let them affect you. Today is just the beginning, they will disappear soon, it won’t be long.”
“Leila was still waiting for you at home, please bear with it for a while, okay?”
man nodded and began to calm his breathing.
Seeing Ethan return to normal, Hazel’s heart, which had been suspended in mid–air, also fell back into place.
Over there, Freddy and his wife have already greeted Tyree. Hazel noticed the middle–aged man who was previously following Ivan, now being surrounded by everyone and receiving compliments.
If I remember correctly, Ivan said, “This is his butler.”

How could this illegitimate child know such a powerful person? Could there be any undisclosed relationship between the two of them?
Worried about him affecting her son’s future, Miley glanced at Tyree, who was talking Freddy, and gave her son a suggestive look.

With her son by her husband’s side, Miley breathed a sigh of relief.
She smiled and said to Ada that she wanted to get to know Hazel, who then said she could introduce her.
“Ms. Robinson, this is Mrs. Hunter.”
“Mrs. Hunter, she was the head of ZN Laboratory, Hazel.”
With Ada playing matchmaker, Hazel and Miley exchanged a few pleasantries, maintaining a superficial politeness.

Miley looked at Ethan in feigned surprise, her face filled with affection, and said, “Ethan, so it was really you.”
“Why didn’t
tell Auntie about your return to Los Angeles? During this period, Nathaniel happened to be at home. If you had told her earlier, Auntie could have arranged for someone to prepare some food for you. Look at how thin you are now, it breaks people’s hearts.” She listened to the enthusiastic words, secretly implying Ethan’s unclean identity.
Hazel pretended not to know and glanced at Ethan, then turned back to ask Miley, “Mrs. Hunter, do you two know each other?”
“Met.”
Miley looked at Ethan, who remained silent, with a half–smile on her face. She ambiguously said, “His mother used to do some questionable things when she was young, and she was… well, this child is quite unfortunate.”

Ethan was sent away.
The corners of her mouth curved slightly upwards, and there was a coldness in her eyes as she continued speaking.
“Alas, one cannot trust those who simply follow the crowd.”
The version I heard is that Ethan’s mom and dad truly loved each other, but a shameless woman appeared and, using the threat of death, convinced his dad to give her a child.
After saying that, she also disdainfully pursed her lips.
Hazel continued to complain, “You guys don’t know, I heard that there was a lot of fuss for a long time, just to get a little tadpole. Speaking of which, this kind of woman is quite embarrassing for us women.”
The black velvet evening gown on her body, exquisite and elegant, made Hazel, who already had a cold and noble temperament, even more stunning.

Ada was surprised, “Is there such a thing?”
Hazel looked at Miley’s darkened face and nodded with a smile.
That woman didn’t know at the time that her wedding was actually a second marriage, and Ethan was not illegitimate at all.
She shook her head, her eyes filled with regret.
Speaking of which, Ethan’s mother was the real unfortunate one. She was truly in love with her husband, but due to the interference of certain individuals, things went wrong. Fortunately, Ethan’s father left all his assets to him.
Hazel spouted nonsense, emphasizing that Miley was not happy, but she was.
Sure enough, as soon as she said this, Miley’s face immediately changed.
Miley frowned, “Property?”

“So, Mrs. Hunter should not continue to say these words outside in the future, as they can easily be misunderstood.”
Miley fell silent abruptly.
And Ada, who was listening beside, was puzzled and asked, “But what is the relationship between Ethan and Mr. Hunter? I remember Mr. Hunter is the only son in the family, he doesn’t have any brothers, right?”
