All Chapters of Mr. CEO, Leave Me Breathless : Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

We arrived at Tierra Fima safely. Levi accompanied us, leaving his wife and child behind in the city. We went straight to the main mansion of Casa de Acuzar. It was much larger than the one in Manila—this house was meant for everyone, while the Manila estate was reserved for only a few, especially those who lived there permanently.“Thank you, Lev. You can leave now. Celine and Jaxon are already here,” I told him, referring to our other cousins.After settling Slater into the room assigned to us, I walked Levi out. I caught the hesitation in his steps, the way he clearly didn’t want to leave us there alone, so I punched his arm lightly.“Stop being so clingy,” I scolded, rolling my eyes. “You’re about to get married, and you already have a kid. We’re not teenagers anymore.”His expression suddenly turned serious, and I could only grimace. He was never fun when he got like this.“Does that man know about this?” he asked.I frowned. “Who?”“Ethan,” he replied simply.I winced and shook

“I honestly do not know what to say, but I have to go, Ash. Just excuse me to Yanna for me, and congratulations again,” I said to him hurriedly.I did not wait for him to respond and quickly left the place. The moment I stepped outside, my cellphone rang. I saw that Tim was calling, so I answered immediately.“Yes, Tim.”“Selina, your family dropped the case against Timothy Blake.”I nearly collapsed where I stood when I heard that. An overwhelming surge of anger rose in my chest, so intense that I almost cursed at the person on the other end of the line because of what I was feeling.“W-what?” I asked in disbelief.“Frank Moretti came here with your Uncle Saldy, along with your family lawyer. They dropped the case and said they would settle instead,” Tim explained.The news threw me into complete turmoil. I could not even think of the right words to say. My thoughts felt tangled and chaotic, all of them colliding at once. I could not gather my thoughts properly, and it made me feel f

I tilted my head to look at him. I noticed Asher watching us, which made me feel uneasy.“I’m fine, Ethan,” I said quickly, cutting him off before he could say anything, then glanced back at Asher.He suddenly smirked at me.“So, are you back together?”I suddenly choked at his question. I quickly grabbed my glass of water and took a drink. I felt Ethan rubbing my back, which only made me feel even more embarrassed.“N-no,” I denied immediately once I recovered from choking.The damn Asher burst into laughter, so I shot him a glare.“What’s so funny?”“Nothing, nothing. It’s just… ah, never mind,” he replied, still laughing.I simply rolled my eyes. Then I turned to Ethan as something occurred to me.“Do you already know?” I asked him directly.He took a sip of his whiskey before looking at me.“Know what?”“Grandfather Samuel dropped the case against your dad,” I said bluntly.I saw both him and Asher freeze. I poured myself a drink and downed it.“I didn’t know…” Ethan replied.I ju

“Y-you are making my wound hurt even more…”I froze mid-cry at what I heard. I immediately opened my eyes and looked up at him. I nearly jumped and screamed in shock when I saw that his eyes were wide open. Only then did I realize everything. They had been playing with me, especially when I noticed his faint smile beginning to emerge.“W-what is the meaning of this?” I asked, trembling.I quickly wiped my tears and turned to Asher. He had his hand over his mouth, which made my brow furrow even more. When I looked at Alyanna and Celine, they shook their heads simultaneously while staring at me.I looked at Ethan again. That teasing smile was gone, replaced by a soft expression.“I heard everything,” he said, making my heart skip a beat.“Oh… no…” I whispered and quickly stepped back from him.“F-fuck you,” I said firmly, snatched my dextrose, and left them there, filled with embarrassment.Forget it.EXCLUSIVE: The police are now searching for Timothy Blake, Chairman and CEO of Centerf

“If he wants to come here because his child is here, that is none of your concern anymore. And you, why are you here? To see whether you succeeded with your plan against me?” I continued.I saw how she froze and immediately avoided my gaze. I finally stood up and simply shook my head.“What are you talking about?” Ethan asked before I turned my back on them.I looked at the two of them again. Fear was evident in Eleanor’s eyes when I glanced at her before turning to Ethan.“Ask her, Ethan,” I said lazily, then turned away from them.I quickly picked up Slater, and we left the room. Once we were outside, I let out a harsh breath, struggling to steady myself. It felt as if I were suffocating, as though if I had stayed there any longer, I would have another attack.“He can stay in our house, Selina. Why do you not want him to?” Celine asked right after I put my bag inside the car. I quickly kissed Slater on the head before turning to her.“I do not want to give him the wrong idea, Celine
