PopularNovelThe Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 588: An AlliancePatrick was well aware that Seth was competing with Ethan.In the business world of Seacisco, news that the Lester brothers had
been fighting against each other had spread like wildfire, which put Patrick in a dilemma.. He refused to pick a side and simply
hoped that his sons would stop fighting.
Ever since Seth and Ethan started fighting, Seth had come home less and less frequently.
One day, Patrick was surprised to bump into him at home.
"Are you still busy fighting the Larson Group?" Patrick asked grimly.
Seth shrugged off his coat and put it aside.There were dark circles under his eyes, but he still wore that same gentle smile,
which made him look approachable.
"Dad, don’t worry. I’ll handle this."
But this only served to make Patrick feel even more worried.
"You have to be careful with Ethan.We all underestimated him before.He has already taken down Elissa and Ritchie.I have a
feeling that he won’t stop until our entire family is in ruins."
"Dad, even if he really is on a warpath, you still underestimate the Lester family.We took root in Seacisco generations before
Ethan was even born.You’re just intimidated by Ethan.Go back to your room and get some rest while I teach that brat a lesson."
Patrick wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought.He knew that Seth was too prideful to listen to him.
The following day, Patrick went to Barnes again.He wanted to talk to Ethan.
When the receptionist informed Ethan that Patrick was waiting for him downstairs, Ethan calmly said, "Kick him out of the
building."
He had nothing to say to Patrick.

In the battle against the Larson Group, Seth had lost several times.He was beginning to get frustrated.
Seth had never encountered any setbacks since he was a child.
After all, he was the most excellent Lester in his generation.He was always a step ahead of ordinary people.
But now, he was losing miserably to Ethan.He couldn’t protect his family nor their business from Ethan’s blows.As time went on,
he began to have a sense of crisis.
If things went on like this, the Lester family’s power would dwindle and they would soon be no match for Ethan.
Moreover, the reason why Patrick was so afraid of Ethan was that the Larson Group was growing stronger and stronger every
day.
As if that wasn’t enough, Ethan also had the support of the White family, which made him unprecedentedly powerful.He wasn’t
sure they stood a chance against him if things went on like this.
Frowning, Seth racked his brains for a solution.He needed to find a way to instantly strengthen the Lester family in a short period
of time—and the only way to do that was forge an alliance with another influential family through a marriage.
The union between the Larson Group and the legendary White family had affected half of the enterprises in Barnes and
Seacisco, rendering Ethan nearly invincible.
But who among the Lesters could get married on such short notice? Unfortunately, the divorce procedures between Patrick and
Elissa hadn’t been completed yet.
Ritchie was single, but he was a disabled man now and there was no way any woman from a prominent family would agree to
marry him.
Sinking into his leather chair, Seth lit a cigarette sullenly.
All of a sudden, he let out a cold sneer and stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray.
Just then, his phone on the table suddenly started to ring.He ignored it and didn’t pick it up until his phone buzzed again with a
new message.
Glancing at the screen, he saw that it was the daughter of the Walker family, Julia.
"Seth, are you still in Seacisco? I want to see you."
