Chapter 37: love rival
After a long pause, he shook his head and sighed. "So it was you... Missy... No wonder you looked kind of familiar the first time I saw you. That explains it."
Four years ago, struggling to make ends meet, Ethan’s past self had worked as a waiter at the Fairmont Copley Plaza.
Unfortunately, he had the worst luck imaginable—he got caught up in a kidnapping.
The target? Isabella.
After successfully capturing her, the kidnappers locked her in a small room on the top floor of the Fairmont Copley Plaza. And as fate would have it, Ethan was locked up there too.
Desperate to save himself, Ethan risked everything—he ambushed the guard, knocked him out, and pried open the ventilation duct to escape.
And in the process, he ended up saving Isabella too.
Because of that incident, afraid of retaliation from the kidnappers, Ethan didn’t even dare to collect his last paycheck. That very night, he packed up and moved with Emily to a new place.
It wasn’t until later, when Emily’s incredible gaming talent got her a special admission to Harvard University, that he finally felt like he could breathe again.
Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that Isabella was the same girl who had been kidnapped back then.
Looking at her now, Isabella was absolutely stunning—a breathtaking beauty. But four years ago? She had been a scrawny, short, ordinary-looking girl. A total ugly duckling. Compared to now, it was like she was a completely different person!
