Capturing the Millionaire’s Heart on Divorce Day -
Chapter 20
Chapter 0020
The A-80000 vehicle had been parked outside for quite a while.
The passengers inside the vehicle had witnessed the eviction of Lucas and Sophia, as well as Madison, with tear-streaked face, walking in and out.
‘President Grant?” William was somewhat surprised to see the president alight from the car.
Madison, lost in her thoughts, was pulled away by a man.
Inside the car.
William had dragged the driver out of the car early on to hide.
son sniffled, “President Grant.”
llied again?” Ethan speculated.
Madison shook her head: “No. Lucas’s parents are really nice to me, they drove those two out.”
“Is driving them out enough?” Ethan suddenly smirked.
Daring to bring a mistress home?
Where did they get the nerve?
Ethan looked at the woman who was playing with her jade bracelet with her head down, then shot a glance at William who was squatting and smoking not far away.
Soon after, the driver and William got into the car together,
The car seemed to have no particular destination.
By the time Madison came back to her senses, she was already

standing in front of a dessert shop.
Madison was aware of this dessert shop.
Lucas’s mother loved their cupcakes.
But this dessert shop required an advanced reservation and buying in store was not an option.
Ethan stepped in first, then turned and looked at her: “Are your legs not working?”
Madison quickly followed.
She was still wondering: Do men also like desserts?
The manager of the Royal Dessert Shop was a foreigner who, after exchanging a few words with Ethan, made a ‘please’ gesture.
The pastry making area was fully open, there were no other
customers in the store, and the pastry chefs were nowhere to be seen. “Madison.”
e man was calling her.
Madison walked over.
Once she stood still, she watched Ethan put on an apron and gloves, pick up the cake-making tools, and start making a cake.
His technique was not exactly proficient, but he was definitely much better than those who had never had any experience.
Madison was looking around, admiring the cake models, as well as the history of the dessert shop displayed on the wall.
After what felt like a long time, the man called her again.
When Madison walked back, she was stunned.

A roughly 18-inch cake was placed on the counter.
The cake’s base was a simple cylinder, but what was unusual was the ring of Jacaranda flower petals around it in golden yellow, rose red, and purplish-red colors, representing the various stages of the Jacaranda’s blooming cycle.
At the tip of the Jacaranda cake petals, a plane was perched at a 45- degree angle.
It was looking towards the sky, as if longing to take the leap and fly towards freedom.
Ethan took off his gloves, his hand resting on the edge of the counter: “Here are your favorite flowers and your dreams.”
“So, can you cheer up a bit?”
His words seemed to have been sped up by the air, not only entering Madison’s ears but also reaching the ears of William and the driver at the entrance.
The two men looked at each other.
William said: “If I didn’t know any better, I’d think President Grant was pursuing Miss Clark.”
The driver looked puzzled: “Isn’t he?”
“Of course not!” William explained: “If you ask President Grant, he’ll definitely say: he is rescuing the vulnerable community in distress.” The driver: ” ……
That answer indeed sounded like their boss’s style.
Madison, on the other hand, looked at the cake for a very long time before looking up: “Did you make this especially for me?”
Ethan did not answer, but his eyes seemed to respond.

Besides being flabbergasted, Madison only felt a continuous numbness in her heart.
In the end, she held up the cake with the most beautiful smile: “Thank you, President Grant!”
Ethan suddenly pointed at her lower eyelid with his finger, “Look at those eyes of yours, they’re so red it’s unsightly. I really can’t
understand why you’re crying for such a person.”
“It’s not for him.” Madison later held the well-packed cake and followed him out.
“Then who is it for?”
“His parents.”
Ethan turned back in surprise: “Are you such a kind-hearted person?”
“How am I kind-hearted?” Madison was confused.
Back in the car, William wisely opened up the partition between the front and back seats.
Ethan was choosing his words carefully, “I have no right to judge the character of your ex-in-laws. According to you, they are very nice to you. That’s because you didn’t infringe on their subjective interests, you just stepped on their values. That is to say, you can feel that they are good people in nature, but you can’t feel that they are particularly nice to you. Do you understand what I mean?”
“For example, if one day your would-be ex-husband is physically hurt by you, do you think they will still protect you?”
Ethan was not trying to destroy her innocence.
He was seriously teaching her about life.
People can live in fairy tales, but they can’t live in fairy tales forever.
Because there are no living people in fairy tales.
Madison fell into a long silence.
Even when she returned to her mansion, she didn’t say a word.
Ethan was telling her: People are selfish by nature. You can be grateful, but you can’t trust.

When William walked into the next room, the first thing he said was: Your brother went to your family home for dinner again. Old Mr. Jiang is arranging blind dates for him, and many daughters of wealthy families have been invited.”
Ethan seemed unsurprised, “Who all came?”
As if William knew what he was going to ask, he handed over the list immediately, “Eight families in total.
“Cut
ss ties.”
m hesitated.
ose eight families, a few were quite powerful.
n looked up: “I control the family business based on my abilities, you separate the Grant family business and Mukino International, Mukino International is stronger than the Grant family business. So these people haven’t figured out who they should be buttering up, what’s the use of keeping such foolish people?”
“Understood.” William took back the list and prepared to proceed.
“Wait.”
Ethan seemed to be pondering something, “That Sophia, she’s an actress?”

“Yes.”
No wonder he found her familiar.
William answered his own question: “There’s a red carpet event in Pingsong Harbor the day after tomorrow. Sophia is going to appear there. After that, there’s a red carpet banquet, and it’s said that Sophia is ready to take Lucas.”
When William found out this news, he was also incredibly shocked.
Sophia really had guts.
She hadn’t even divorced yet and she dared to flaunt Lucas?
Did these two reckon that Sophia’s husband and Madison wouldn’t cause them trouble?
They were too blatant!
“What red carpet?” Ethan asked.
William immediately explained.

Ethan pondered for a moment: “Contact the deputy make a temporary investment. As an investor, Mukino only has one request, that is to hold a press conference ed carpet, focusing on Sophia’s private life.”
saying this, he paused before adding indifferently: “Remember arrange a few people to go in.”
This operation…
William understood and showed a grin that was very much like a cunning fox: “Understood.”
