Lost in Mr. Preston's Temptation

Chapter 39 Is That His First Wife?

Baxter had never seen Ms. Clayton, but seeing Ethan looking like this, he could conclude who the

woman beside him was.

Hearing Baxter swear, Clara frowned. “Is it really Ethan?”

But the Ethan in her impression had always worn an indifferent expression and liked to look down on

others. She had never seen him as gentle as he was now. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“The woman next to Ethan...” Suppressing her strange emotions, she asked again, “Is that his first

wife?”

After getting the marriage certificate with Ethan, Clara had done some more studying on the Prestons.

She knew that the Prestons had gotten rich in the Sweetriver area and were one of the four famous

families from that area. Because the law had been laxer at that time, the ancestors of the Prestons had

all been polygamists.

Officially, during Ethan Preston’s grandfather’s time, the Prestons could only have one wife.

However, a global financial crisis had also affected the Prestons and their business. The previous

generation’s leader had had to marry three wives for the sake of family peace.

Ethan’s mother was Mr. Preston’s second wife and Grandma Preston’s niece.

Because his mother was from J city, Ethan had stayed in J city, and after entering the company, had

developed the inland market. When he took over the Prestons core operations, he had also moved

them to J city.

The law in the Sweetriver area hadn’t been perfected yet. And if Ethan were to get married there, he

could still marry more than one wife.

She thought the woman beside Ethan was the wife he had married in the Sweetriver area.

“Madam, your vision must be blurry. It’s not Ethan, it’s only that that man’s figure looks a bit like

Ethan’s.” Even though he was witnessing such an exciting spectacle, Baxter was still able to think on

his feet.

“Then why did you swear just now?”

“Because that man’s girlfriend is so beautiful, she looks just like a celebrity!” Baxter exaggerated, and

Clara didn’t know what to say.

She saw the man get in the driver’s seat, but because the wipers were on, she couldn’t see what he

looked like. She could only watch the car leave.

Clara muttered with confusion, “Not only his shape, the side of his face was also very similar...”

“Ha, he wasn’t actually that similar” Baxter exclaimed. “Someone said before that I looked just like a

porn actor from Japan and encouraged me to become a male prostitute!”

“...”

In order to dispel Clara’s doubts, Baxter said, “Madam, don’t overthink it. The law in the Sweetriver

area has not changed, and one can still have multiple wives. However, the old lady has a deep hatred

for the long-standing tradition. The Preston children can only marry one wife, and you are Ethan’s only

wife.”

“That makes it sound like Grandma Preston is easy to get along with?” Clara asked.

She also didn’t know whether Ethan would bring her home to meet his grandmother. But in this internet

generation, she figured that her grandmother would probably have already seen the news about her.

She also supposed that Ethan’s grandmother’s impression of her would be strongly negative.

“She scolded me till I cried twice, in what way is she easy to get along with?” Baxter remembered that

she had scolded him to tears twice, making him feel unwell, “But I think that she really likes you.”

Clara asked curiously, “I haven’t even met her yet, how do you know that she likes me?”

She called Ruby, and although her phone was not turned off, no one answered.

Clara had an ominous feeling, so she had Baxter track the location of Ruby’s phone. They tracked her

phone to the entrance of the Rowan house, which had been left empty for a while already.

“I expect that when she went to find you, she was found out by Steve.” Baxter analyzed the situation.

“How about I hack Steve’s phone and see if I can find anything.” Updated at Draмąոоvels.cоm

Clara thought of the previous time when she had tried to crash into Steve’s car, and Steve had turned

the situation around, and shook her head. “Steve is so much smarter than Ruby, His phone must have

precautions, even if we track him, we won’t necessarily find Ruby.”

Looking at the empty villa, she turned around and got into the car, “Let’s go back.”

She had married Ethan for revenge. If she could get this evidence from Ruby, and send Steve to

prison, that would let her parents rest in peace.

Unfortunately, this hope had fallen through...

The failure of this trip made Clara feel unhappy. On the way back, her phone suddenly ran.
