Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 611

Ethan's eyes were immediately drawn to Tasha's slightly bulging belly.

While he believed Tasha, he also knew that Seth was a cunning man. There was no way he could be sure if this was a trap or not. Frowning slightly, he figured he should tread lightly.

"If you really want to help me defeat Seth, then good. But what exactly can you do for me?" Ethan leaned back and spoke in a businesslike manner.

"Seth has made a lot of money in Sugden over the past few years, but his hands are not so clean. His business is booming because of nasty, under -the-table deals. Unlike Elissa and Ritchie, Seth is good at hiding his true self—which only makes him more dangerous. When he encounters tricky problems, he pretends that he doesn't care about them on the surface, but then he'll secretly deal with them by illegal means." The more Tasha revealed, the more worked up she became.

"Do you have any proof?" Ethan looked at her sharply.

Tasha paused hesitantly. Most of what she said was just speculation. She didn't have any substantial evidence now.

Ethan read her mind. As a cautious man, Seth was likely to cover his trail. If Tasha really had evidence, she could've negotiated with him by herself. Why would she come to the Larson

Group for help?

"You want my help, but you can offer nothing useful to me. I don't like to engage in risky business. While I do feel sorry for your miserable marriage, there's nothing I can do about it. I think what you need is a good lawyer, not me." Ethan was a businessman after all. If he was the kind of person who helped anyone in need, he'd be running a charity instead of a business.

Tasha bit her lip anxiously. "I don't have dirt on Seth now, but I can dig around. Now that Seth has dropped his guard against me, I'm sure I can get my hands on some of his dirty secrets. Besides, I'm still a Mrs. Lester; if anything happens, I'll be the first to know."

Janet quietly listened to their exchange. It wasn't appropriate for her to side with Tasha. Ethan wanted to take the Lester family down for good, and this was something he had been preparing for years. He just couldn't afford to make mistakes.

Ethan thought that this cooperation was a huge risk, but perhaps it was a risk was worth taking. What Tasha said made sense. She could be a spy in the Lester family and keep an eye on Seth for him at all times.

Of course, he still had to be careful.
