I doubt that Ethan crossed that imaginary red line. But IF he did cross it with Rachel, what's stopping him from doing the same with the MC?

Erynn? If anything were to happen to him, he would be the prime suspect.

I can just imagine a scene where Erynn is taken to see the lawyer about the Ethan blackmail and he's one of the clients that she has escorted.
You never know who can be involved in that shady business, go to the police and one of the higher ups like the police chief is a regular or something. Or his father has connections.
Though obviously all of this likely isn't going anywhere because (thankfully) the Ethan stuff is going away soon. Hopefully he dies a painful death. Or like I said before gets put in prison with some huge bull of a guy who makes him his bitch, so he knows how it feels.

I know this scenario from another visual novel where it was portrayed quite drastically. Guys like Ethan, who's really not stupid, promise the girl the moon until he finds the point at which she's willing to sell her soul. Once he finds that point, things go downhill fast for the girl. Usually, drugs follow to make her even more "willing."

Edit: As long as the girl brings in money, everything's fine. But if she causes trouble or doesn't bring in any money, the girl is "disposed of"! Literally!

Intertwined doesn't go deep into this, but i doubt "fake Erynn" dreamed of pretending to be another girl to her agent...
She's one girl that got completely broken, and doesn't even care anymore.
As long as the money keeps coming in, she's willing.

Probably signed on as a model with big dreams, the money wasn't quite what she expected(with him being her agent, it's a rigged game).
Got convinced to do the escorting "just once", it's a lot of money, just to laugh at a guy's jokes and eat an expensive steak... what's the harm?
Then it keeps snowballing, "if you stay the night your fee will be 10 times as much".
Gets into drugs to get through these nights...

Next thing you know she's a completely broken slut, willing to do everything for cash and drugs.

I doubt that Ethan crossed that imaginary red line. But IF he did cross it with Rachel, what's stopping him from doing the same with the MC?

I don't think he killed her intentionally, he might simply have smacked her when she got "feisty", and maybe she landed badly.
He doesn't have a motive(that we know of) to kill her, so if it happened it has to be an accident.
She died in a dirty alley, no idea if it happened there(Ethan does use back entrances to clubs and things like that) or if they just dumped her body there.

No doubt he wanted some relaxation that day after getting his ass kicked... and Rachel is a good "Erynn proxy" for him to get his rocks off, but she also has a bit of an attitude that maybe made them fight(i think she's not quite at "rough sex in a dirty alley while he calls me by someone else's name" level).
So i can see things going badly even if it wasn't his intention.

A guy like him, used to having everything he wants, wouldn't be able to take a woman talking back to him right after getting his ass kicked by his "nemesis".

I can just imagine a scene where Erynn is taken to see the lawyer about the Ethan blackmail and he's one of the clients that she has escorted.
You never know who can be involved in that shady business, go to the police and one of the higher ups like the police chief is a regular or something. Or his father has connections.
Though obviously all of this likely isn't going anywhere because (thankfully) the Ethan stuff is going away soon. Hopefully he dies a painful death. Or like I said before gets put in prison with some huge bull of a guy who makes him his bitch, so he knows how it feels.

His clients are rich and powerful so he could/should have connections beyond modelling.
Often it's a game with marked cards, clubs and police fully onboard with what's going on...

And yeah, let's hope proper punishment is coming

Erynn? If anything were to happen to him, he would be the prime suspect.

Now there's a number of people that know the story, might be too difficult to cover up
