Chapter 475 Ethan Learned The Truth



Day Fifty-Five...

~~*****~~

Nathan couldn't understand why Ethan was investing too much emotion just because of Jane. As far as he knew, the two never knew each other.

Lately, Ethan was paying more attention to Jane, instead of Abigail. With that thought in mind, Nathan couldn't help but compare Jane to Veronica.

He felt like Jane was Veronica's other version. He was in love with her sister but these two ladies tried to complicate things by pursuing him.

"Ethan, you can't befriend, Jane. Not her. Everything I do is for your own sake. You are still a kid. You don't know what is right or wrong." Nathan was on the verge of losing his temper. But Ethan was as stubborn as him.

"Dad... there is nothing wrong with this. I can feel that Miss Jane is a good person. I like her!" Ethan insisted.

When Nathan heard that, he could no longer hold himself. His rage surged up in his heart. Nathan grabbed Ethan by his shoulders and he looked at him in the eyes.

"You know nothing, Ethan! That woman is not a good person. She killed your mother! Your biological mother. She is an assassin. Is that kind of a good person to you, Ethan?!!" Nathan shook his son as he tightened his grip on his body.

Ethan was stunned for a moment when he heard his father. He knew that his mother was assassinated and was killed but he had no idea who was the killer.

"Dad... are you... telling the truth? Or this is one of your tricks so that you can discourage me... and stop me from getting close to Miss Jane. Don't lie to me, Dad..." Ethan had mixed emotions right now.

"Do you think I'll lie to you regarding this matter? I can't allow you to get close to the person who killed your mother. Why don't you ask her? You will believe her more than my words?" Nathan failed to control himself. He ended up revealing the truth to Ethan. This was the only way he could stop Ethan from interacting with Jane. He had to separate them.

On the other hand, Ethan's face became pale. He could tell that his father was serious.

"Ethan, you are smart, aren't you? Go and ask her. She's Phantomflake... an infamous assassin!"Folloow current novÊls on nov/3lb((in).(co/m)

Nathan had no choice. He had to break his son's heart so that he would be awakened. He must realize that Jane was not a good person.

"Yes?" Jane continued to assess Ethan's expression. Something was wrong with him. Ethan was troubled by something.

"Can you be honest with me? Are you Phantomflake, the assassin... who killed my biological mother?" Ethan glanced at her with hopeful eyes. He wished that Jane would deny that accusation. He needed to hear it from him.

'Please Mom... say no... tell me that my father is lying to me.' Ethan braced himself as he waited for Jane's reply.

However, Jane was flabbergasted by Ethan's direct questions. She could presume that Nathan revealed this to his son.

Jane couldn't look at Ethan. She just lowered her head while clenching her fists.

"Miss Jane... tell me... my Dad is lying... right?" Ethan's voice was desperate.

Jane's heart constricted as she didn't know what to say. She couldn't bring herself to tell Ethan the truth. She was afraid that Ethan would hate her from now on.

"Miss Jane... please say something..." Ethan was on the verge of crying. Jane's silence gave him some clues. He could even see the guilt in Jane's eyes.

Jane slammed her eyes shut and mumbled in a low voice, "Yes... I... I k-killed your mother..." she stuttered and her voice trembled as she confessed to Ethan.

There was a moment of silence when she said those words. Ethan was shaken by this revelation. He felt like every ounce of his energy was drained.

"I..." Jane wanted to explain but Ethan stepped back as he distanced himself from her.

When Ethan moved away from him, Jane felt like her heart was crushed into tiny pieces. 'I knew it... Ethan will hate me...'

Ethan began to shed tears while shaking his head. "I can't..." He couldn't complete his words.

Then Nathan approached them. He could see the great shock on Ethan's face. He could assume that Jane told him the truth.

Ethan didn't toss a look at Jane again. He walked out, running away from them. The young boy was hurt by this revelation. The woman whom he treated as his mother was the one who killed his biological mother.

Nathan wanted this to happen. But he was uneasy. When he met Jane's eyes, he could see the hatred.

"Are you happy now, Nate? Your son is going to hate me for the rest of his life. You got what you wanted." Jane smiled bitterly.

She walked past him, not looking back. She was in pain and her tears began to fall from the corners of her eyes. She felt like she lost another son today.
