Internet Breaking: The Powerful CEO Reveals His Supermodel Wife-Chapter 532: Hidden Matters

The waiter walked over from the front, and upon hearing Poe Vaughn’s words, he immediately came to his side and bowed, "Sir, is there anything you need?"

Because Ethan Ainsworth was such a conspicuous presence, everyone’s gaze fell on him and Poe Vaughn, as well as the extra steak on Poe Vaughn’s plate that shouldn’t have been there.

Now, hearing Poe Vaughn speak and directly call the waiter, everyone’s attention instantly focused on Poe Vaughn, observing his expression and thoughts at this moment.

However, under the night sky, his perfectly sculpted features exhibited nothing but coldness and depth, revealing not a hint of his thoughts.

So, for a moment, no one made a sound, nor did anyone speak up.

They just watched Poe Vaughn, waiting for his next words.

What was he going to say?

As the waiter bowed and spoke, Poe Vaughn’s gaze fell on Ethan Ainsworth’s face, who was clearly taken aback, then recovered and looked at him with interest.

"Change the plate."

The words were devoid of emotion and warmth, making everyone’s gaze instantly fall on Ethan Ainsworth.

Poe Vaughn’s words meant that even the plate contaminated by the steak shouldn’t be kept.

That was a sign of disdain.

Ethan Ainsworth paused when he heard Poe Vaughn’s words, then burst into laughter, as if something particularly amusing had happened to make him laugh so happily.

Ava Sterling looked at Ethan Ainsworth’s joyous appearance, and her face clearly spelled out two words: speechless.

Yes, speechless.

This person obviously knew that Poe Vaughn had a cleanliness obsession, but it was precisely because he knew that he did this, deliberately.

It was as if he was so free that he had to find some amusement, even if that amusement was filled with disdain for him, he was still willing.

Ava Sterling thought, that’s really sick.

A serious illness.

Vincent Donovan saw Ethan Ainsworth laughing like this and shook his head helplessly.

The little one’s big eyes were even more puzzled, looking at Ethan Ainsworth with a gaze full of curiosity and confusion, unable to understand what was wrong with Ethan Ainsworth tonight.

The waiter was unaware of the atmosphere at the table, and even if he felt something, he wouldn’t say much.

Following Poe Vaughn’s instructions, the waiter collected all the plates and bowls in front of Poe Vaughn and replaced them with a brand new set.

Ethan Ainsworth watched, his smile full of delight, his shrewd, fox-like eyes narrowing with amusement.

When the waiter left, he spoke up.

"Come on, is this really necessary?"

"We’ve been friends for over twenty years, right? We’re like brothers, closer even, you’ll eat when the little one gives you something, and Mrs. Vaughn serves you food, but why can’t you eat when I give you something?"

"This is really damaging to our brotherly relationship, isn’t it, Old Donovan?"

Ethan Ainsworth said, turning to look at Vincent Donovan, trying to drag him into the situation.

Vincent Donovan was drinking his own wine, and upon hearing the obvious attempt to involve him, he paused slightly, then looked at Ethan Ainsworth, smiling, "I think it’s better for you to behave yourself."

Hearing Vincent Donovan distancing himself, Ethan Ainsworth immediately had a look of "brother, you’re not being fair," saying, "Don’t side with him, it’s clear he’s biased. A classic example of forgetting your brothers after having a wife and kids, he’s already tossed us aside."

As he spoke, Ethan Ainsworth looked at Poe Vaughn.

Poe Vaughn, holding his wine glass, drank without any reaction to the taunting words, seemingly completely unaffected.

Seeing Poe Vaughn’s demeanor, Ethan Ainsworth’s interest grew more intense, and he became increasingly audacious.

His gaze shifted to Ava Sterling, and he said, "Mrs. Vaughn, I guess you haven’t been with our brother long enough to know his character well. Today, let me disclose some little-known facts about him."

When Ava Sterling heard Ethan Ainsworth say that Poe Vaughn was someone who forgot his brothers after getting married and having kids, it didn’t sound quite right to her.

It felt as if after Poe Vaughn married her, he didn’t consider his friends as important anymore.

As if she, who had only been married to Poe Vaughn for a few months, outweighed friends of decades in his heart.

It felt like she was carrying significant weight in Poe Vaughn’s mind.

Ava Sterling wondered if she had heard wrong, otherwise why would she have such a strange feeling?

However, before Ava Sterling figured it out, Ethan Ainsworth’s following words reached her ears, interrupting her train of thought, making her frown instantly.

Little-known facts?

Ethan Ainsworth’s words seemed like he was about to say something bad about Poe Vaughn in front of her.

This was Ava Sterling’s first feeling upon hearing Ethan Ainsworth say that.

She was displeased.

Instant displeasure.

Just like not allowing others to criticize her belongings, no matter how imperfect they are, only she can critique them, not others.

So, Ava Sterling’s face immediately turned grim.

She looked at the person sitting opposite, full of smiles, thick with interest and teasing, plainly looking for trouble, and pursed her lips, staying silent.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to speak but was afraid that once she did, she’d want to rebut or hit the person.

Ethan Ainsworth was sharp-eyed, with an extremely discerning pair. He instantly noticed Ava Sterling’s apparent expression, as if someone had provoked Ava Sterling, making her face turn sour, even showing signs of annoyance and impatience.

The bad-tempered Ava Sterling, painted in the media variously, seemed about to appear, and the recently cheerful, direct, kindly and gentle Ava Sterling seemed to vanish.

Ethan Ainsworth blinked, clearly puzzled and surprised, not understanding what was wrong with Ava Sterling.

Yet he didn’t overthink, as he was keen to tell Ava Sterling some things right now. So, he curled his lips and continued, "Mrs. Vaughn may not know that our brother here once never let women near him. Even if someone accidentally touched him, he wouldn’t keep the clothes, being so obsessed with cleanliness that it made us suspect he had issues."

Ava Sterling thought Ethan Ainsworth was going to say something bad about Poe Vaughn, and she was ready to counter him immediately, no matter who it was.

Yet unexpectedly, what Ethan Ainsworth said was... good stuff.

Yes, good stuff.

Staying faithful before marriage, keeping oneself pure, not even allowing a touch—what else could this be but good?

Ava Sterling was surprised, truly caught off guard by Ethan Ainsworth’s words.

Meanwhile, next to Ethan Ainsworth, Vincent Donovan, upon hearing Ethan Ainsworth’s recent words, furrowed his brows slightly.

Because what Ethan Ainsworth had said earlier gave him a bad feeling, making him instinctively worry Ethan Ainsworth might say something problematic.

Poe Vaughn cared a lot about Ava Sterling, a care that had long surprised all of them. At such a moment, he hoped Ethan Ainsworth wouldn’t say anything negative to impact them.

Although they had been friends for years, and he understood Ethan, knowing he seemed playful, accomplishing nothing serious, but actually wasn’t like that. Ethan Ainsworth was always clear-headed, knowing what should and shouldn’t be done. He just donned a false facade, wearing a mask that made people easily overlook or drop their guard.

Under regular circumstances, Vincent Donovan wouldn’t worry or overthink. But tonight, Ethan Ainsworth’s excessively excited demeanor made Vincent Donovan start to worry.

Concerned that Ethan Ainsworth, in his excitement, might forget his bearings.

If that happened, it would be troublesome.

Therefore, Vincent Donovan, upon hearing Ethan Ainsworth’s words, instinctively wanted to speak out and stop him.

However, before he could speak, Ethan Ainsworth’s voice reached his ears, not at all losing composure as feared, instead fully aware of what he was doing.

At this moment, Vincent Donovan smiled.

He withdrew his gaze, looking at Poe Vaughn.
