The Epic Blind Date with My Boss novel Chapter 219

Chapter 219 Ethan Had Found Out (4)

Alice’s eyes flickered in the face of Ethan’s question. Of course, I’m sure, she answered silently. He was the man she married, and they were together for a long time. Wait, does he have nothing better to do? Why is he refusing to let go of this issue? Is this question so important? Is it important? It shouldn’t be important at all!

A stunned Lawrence was just about to arrive before Ethan knocked on the door. So, he didn’t see the expression on Tanner’s face, but he did recall that Tanner sounded so sure and natural when he called Ethan Mr. Knight earlier. He wasn’t making a guess. Rather, he sounded like he already knew Ethan prior to this and was quite familiar with Ethan as well.

Once again, Ethan pressed. “Would you like to explain yourself, Mr. West?”

For a second. Alice had the urge to slam the door in Ethan’s face. They were already divorced, and she had said to Britney that the Knights would be nothing but strangers to her if she ran into them again. What else did she have to explain to him? Unfortunately, she was currently disguised as Tanner and couldn’t risk her identity being exposed. If she hadn’t divorced Ethan, she probably wouldn’t deliberately hide this from him. But alas, they were now divorced and were in no way related to each other whatsoever. They were strangers and there was no obligation for her to inform him about her personal affairs.

“Well, Mr. Knight and… Mr. Knight, if there’s nothing else, please leave.” Ethan was able to capture so many details just from one slip of the tongue, so she didn’t have the guts to blindly make up other excuses now. The more she spoke, the more mistakes she would make. Therefore, the best way was to avoid the question and give no answers.

Nonetheless, Ethan was like a dog with a bone and he wasn’t about to give up easily. So, Ethan brushed off that demand as he stared at Tanner and asked again, “Did you have a problem with the Knights before?”

She answered quickly but naturally, “No.”

What problem could she possibly have with the Knights? She joined the Knight Family and married Ethan because of Caroline and the prenup was signed from the get-go, so the divorce was settled peacefully. Even if Britney made her uneasy in the end, she definitely didn’t have a problem with her.

Ethan stared straight into Tanner’s eyes and didn’t want to miss any changes in the other party’s emotions. Then, he inquired right in the next second, “How are you related to my family?”

After a short moment of stunned silence, she answered, “How am I related to the Knights? What do you think, Mr. Knight?” Actually, Alice wanted to give him the same answer as she did earlier by saying no, but she wasn’t a good liar, especially when Ethan was watching her so closely.

He was watching her like a hawk, so he quickly concluded. “So, you are related to the Knight Family, huh?” Then, he peered into the room through the tiny gap between Tanner and the door. “Do you want to stand here and continue the conversation, or should we talk in the room?”

At this rate, she was becoming rather disgruntled as she thought, What’s his problem? Why did he suddenly bombard me with questions so aggressively? He even has the intention to enter my room! What gives him the right to enter my room, anyway? “Mr. Knight, I’m not a criminal, and neither are you a police officer. Don’t you think that you’re being rather inappropriate?” Alice had been polite the whole time, but her face had turned stone cold as a trace of ice could be heard in her voice.

Still, his eyes never left Tanner’s face. “What exactly are you hiding?”

“What am I hiding? What can I possibly be hiding from you?” For a moment, she even thought that he had recognized her.

Alice sighed inwardly as she tried her best to stop herself from punching his face. From where he was looking in now, he could see some things in her room as well as the things she had laid out on her bed. She hastily started to recall whether she had kept her clothes away properly, especially garments that were distinctly female.

The last thing she would expect was Lawrence and Ethan’s sudden visit, not to mention that Ethan would be so insolent as to force himself in. So, she hadn’t kept away anything prior to this. Hence, there was no way she would allow him entry.

When she noticed that he was still trying to shove past her and continue moving forward, she lost her patience and turned to Lawrence, who was still standing outside the door. “Mr. Knight, will you please talk some sense into your son? He’s being impudent.” As far as she could remember, Lawrence was a reasonable man and Ethan had always respected him. All she wanted now was for him to leave as quickly as possible.

“Mr. West, why don’t we sit down and have a good chat?” This time, however, the reasonable Lawrence didn’t take Ethan away as she wished.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Knight.” Alice rejected Lawrence for the fifth time today. But because of Ethan’s

impertinent behavior, she felt not even a hint of guilt when she snarked. “I can assure you that I won’t do anything to harm the Knight Family, so there’s really no reason for you to be suspicious of me. When she turned her attention to Ethan, her face turned sullen. Will that be all. Mr. Knight?”

Ethan looked at her. “What can you do against the Knight Family that I have to be worried about?”
