Moonlit Betrayal (Alpha Rick)

Chapter 117 

“The cooperation is over!” 

Ethan was extremely angry now, and Lola could understand that Ethan must feel very uncomfortable being betrayed by his 

best friend. 

This outcome was also unsettling, but Lola couldn’t quite articulate the oppressive feeling in her heart. 

The gentle words and expression of Dominick kept appearing in Lola’s mind, but this recording completely shattered everything. 

“Ethan, don’t be upset. I… 

Ethan suddenly stood up and said angrily, “Dominick is really crossing a line here! Since he treats me like this, then he can’t blame me for what I’m about to do. I know this project is crucial for his company, but I didn’t expect him to take me for a 

fool! 

“In that case, we won’t give the Leroy Group the opportunity for this project anymore, and furthermore, from now on, Dominick is an enemy of the Lewis Group! Whatever he wants to do, we’ll stop it!” 

Lola was slightly stunned by Ethan’s exaggerated reaction. How upset was he exactly? 

“Ethan don’t be like this. There are people outside, and it’s not good if they hear you.” 

Ethan seemed so angry that he didn’t care about anything. 

“It doesn’t matter to me anymore! Dominick betrayed me, so I’m not going to care about how this is going to affect him! 

“We are now completely estranged! Let everyone in the company know that Dominick is an enemy of our company!” 

With that, Ethan didn’t give Lola a chance to speak and left. 

Lola was somewhat worried but couldn’t leave the company unattended to follow him. 

“Layla? What’s wrong? Why did I hear Ethan sounding angry just now? What happened?” Jenna walked in, puzzled. 

Lola turned off the computer and shook her head lightly. “Ethan was betrayed by a friend, so he’s not in a good mood.” 

Lola didn’t want to mention the matter with Dominick, so she spoke vaguely. 

Jenna’s gaze changed slightly. “His friend? Is it Dominick? Did Dominick betray Ethan? 

“Hmph, I knew Dominick must be like this! He’s really out of line. I’ve warned you all before that Ethan can’t trust Dominick 

so much!” 

Lola didn’t want to bring up the matter again and smiled apologetically. “I’m not sure about the specifics. I should 

now. 

Jenna paused for a moment and then nodded. “Okay, I’ll go back first.” 

Ethan seemed to be in a bad mood and went to the bar where he used to go with Dominick often. 

He sat alone in the private room, ordered a bottle of wine, and got two glasses. 

Ethan took a sip of the wine before he downed the whole glass. 

The room was quiet, and Ethan continued to drink, showing no sign of stopping. 

study 

“Drinking like this, aren’t you afraid of being mistaken for a drunk and thrown out?” 

A familiar voice suddenly came from outside the door, and the next moment, the door to the private room was pushed 

open. 

This private room was Ethan’s personal space, and usually, no one would come over, let alone know that it was open to the public. 

So when he heard the voice, all sorts of emotions surged in his eyes! 

In the dim light. Ethan raised his head and met the eyes of the man entering. 

A complex emotion washed over Ethan’s face for a moment. “You’re finally showing up? 

“It’s been over ten days, and you haven’t shown up. I thought you were dead.” 

Indeed, the person entering the private room was none other than Dominick. 

He hadn’t changed much from over ten days ago, but upon closer inspection, one could see that he had lost some weight. 

Dominick didn’t rush to explain anything and sat down on the sofa naturally, pouring himself a glass of wine and downing

“Indeed, the wine here is still good. I thought I wouldn’t be able to come back.” 

Ethan froze for a moment. “What do you mean? Were you really going to die? 

“Why did you come back to look for me now? Do you want me to personally kill you? Didn’t you want to use my company as a stepping stone for yours?” 

When Dominick heard Ethan’s words, there was no unusual expression on his face, as if he wasn’t surprised at all. 

He took a sip of wine before slowly speaking. “What? Do you really believe that I was the one speaking in the recording?” 

When Ethan heard this, it seemed like something inside him finally settled. 

“Damn it, of course I didn’t fully believe it. Otherwise, why would I get two glasses? 

“But before I came out, I made a big fuss at the company, letting those with ill intentions see my attitude toward you. After all, for such a recording to appear on my computer, there must be someone around me who’s a mole, or at least someone who’s hostile to you.” 

Dominick narrowed his eyes slightly. “You don’t need to do all that. It’s Jenna,” 

Ethan was slightly stunned. “Slow down, I have too many questions to ask you. Didn’t you return to Talondria to deal with the Richardson family? What happened? Why haven’t you return after half a month?” 

Dominick’s face darkened, his deep gaze fixed on Ethan. “You think I didn’t want to come back? 

“I don’t know who the mole is, but before I returned to Talondria, the Richardson family was already informed about my plans. 

I was ambushed as soon as I got off the plane, and I was almost captured by them. To be precise, I’ve already been captured by them. 

“If I hadn’t been agile and quick–witted, you might not have seen me again.” When Dominick said this, he seemed particularly carefree. 

It was as if he wasn’t the one experiencing those things. 

“Damn.” Although Ethan was cursing at him, there was a hint of joy in Ethan’s eyes. 

He suddenly felt much better, realizing that his best friend hadn’t betrayed him and had reappeared unscathed after half a 

month. 

“Next time, can you inform me in advance if something happens? Do you know how many calls I made in the past half monthi 

“You didn’t answer the phone or tell me what you were doing. Do you even take me for a friend? 

“You’re really heartless that you even abandoned Layla. You change your mind so quickly!” 

Dominick couldn’t help but smile, “It’s only been a few days, and you’re already acting like a nagging 

old lady. 

“I was ambushed as soon as I got off the plane. I wanted to inform you, but how could I?” 

Ethan finally remembered to ask about important matters. “By the way, you mentioned Jenna just now. What’s going on with her? 

“So, everything Jenna said was fake? She didn’t really change? But what about those injuries on her body? Wasn’t it because of you?” 

Dominick’s face darkened. “Jenna is really ruthless. 

“You may not believe it, but all the injuries on Jenna’s body were self–inflicted!” 

Eihan gasped in shock. “What? 

“From the start, we were deceived by Jenna. Is that it?”
