Chapter 571: Put You Behind Bars

On the way back home from the cemetery, Janet could tell that Ethan‘s mind was elsewhere.He
seemed to be planning something elaborate.He leaned quietly against the car window, absentmindedly
looking at the passing scenery.

As soon as they entered the house, they heard the phone in the living room ringing nonstop.Ethan
shrugged off his coat and trotted over to the telephone to answer it.He still didn‘t say anything, as if he
was expecting the call.

After a while, it seemed that the person on the other end of the phone had finished speaking, and
Ethan hung up, still without saying a word.

"Who was that? Why didn‘t you say anything?" Janet asked in confusion.

"Wrong number?"

"Patrick‘s asking us to meet him in the Hancock Club in Barnes," Ethan said in a low voice, his
expression darkening.

Janet approached him and held his arm comfortingly.

"Do you want to see him?" she asked gently Ethan smiled coldly.

"He came just in time.Of course I want to see him."

"Okay, we‘ll go see him then."

With closed eyes, Janet reached for his hand and rubbed her cheek against it.

At the Hancock Club, Barnes.

The private room was decorated simply but it looked quite quaint.



A delicate crystal chandelier hung on the ceiling, and smoke of the burning incense wafted in the air,
mixed with the fragrance of tea.However, no matter how comfortable the room was, it couldn‘t ease the
tension in the air.

Patrick and Seth sat on one side, while Ethan and Janet sat on the other.

A silence fell over the room and nobody spoke for a long time.

Finally, Patrick broke the silence.He coughed and looked around cautiously.Then he looked at Seth
unhappily and asked, "Where is Ritchie?"

"He has been quite hot–tempered lately, so I asked him to stay at home," Seth answered calmly.

Patrick didn‘t mind.

After all, Ritchie would‘ve ruined everything if he came.He adjusted his mood and turned to look at
Ethan sincerely.

"I wanted to see you so that we could clear our past misunderstandings.I know that you‘ve suffered at
the hands of the Lester family ever since you were a child.But from now on, I promise you, nothing like
that will ever happen again.I had no idea that Elissa killed your mother, but now that you‘ve put her
behind bars and I‘m going to divorce her, everything should be cleared up.Are you going to reunite with
the Lester family?"

Upon hearing this, Seth‘s eyes turned cold for a moment, but he soon regained his composure.

Ethan quietly looked into Patrick‘s eyes for a moment before bursting into laughter.But his eyes were
devoid of warmth, and there was indescribable disgust in his voice.



"I‘m impressed.How‘d you manage to do that, Mr.Lester? You made it look as though you‘re not part of
this." Patrick‘s expression darkened.He slammed his fist on the table and roared, "What the hell‘s that
supposed to mean?"

Ethan, on the other hand, unhurriedly took a sip of his tea.

"Have you already forgotten all about it? Or are you that shameless that you could just dismiss your
past crimes?"

Patrick narrowed his eyes at him.

"Ethan, don‘t push your luck."

Ethan turned a deaf ear to him and continued in a bone–chillingly cold voice, "You raped my mother.In
order to save yourself from a scandal, you told everyone that it was my mother who seduced you.And
Elissa believed in your lie.That‘s why she killed her! You‘re the reason why all of this happened.You‘re
just as guilty as Elissa!"

Instantly, all the color drained from Patrick‘s face and the confidence in his voice suddenly
disappeared.

"What...What do you want?" he stammered.

Ethan didn‘t answer right away and the room fell into dead silence.It was clear to all that Ethan was in
control.He smiled and said simply, "I want to bring the Lester family down, and I won‘t stop until you‘re
behind bars with Elissa."
