A panic-stricken Andrew glared at his father, unable to speak. “Have you suddenly gone dumb? You better start talking before I lose my temper!” Emiliano growled. “I..I…had no choice. It was the only way I could save my neck. Pachenko spared me in jail and in return I was supposed to take Ethan out of the picture so he could get out of jail but when I failed, he gave me another condition, which was to launder money for the red dragons to enable them to exert their revenge on Ethan and the black axe group. I swear I don't know how Ethan got proof of my dealings, I was extremely careful!” Andrew explained before breaking down in tears. Emiliano gritted his teeth, “Apparently, you were not careful enough! Now look at what you caused. Why didn't you come to me?” Martha was almost in tears after she heard Andrew's explanation. “What are we going to do now?” Martha asked, panicking. “Andrew, how in the world did you make such a blunder?” Ariella yelled at her brother. “You should have

“What is it? You sound unusually excited, ” Loretta rolled her eyes at him in a curious manner. “Yeah, that's a good way to put it. Anyway, I have a really good design that I need you to work on pronto. Here it is,” Ethan handed her a rather detailed rough sketch. Loretta stared at the sketch for a few seconds and glared at him, “Did you sketch this?” Ethan simply nodded, unsure of why she was asking. Loretta glared at him in disbelief. She had seen his sketches in the past and none of them…not even his best could be compared to the one she held in her hands. “This is far better than anything I've ever seen you sketch before!” Loretta exclaimed. Ethan grinned, “I've been doing a lot of practice.” Even though she was still stunned, she didn't make any other comments about it, instead, she sat down to study it. “This is brilliant! I still don't know how you come up with these things!” She exclaimed after studying the design briefly. “I'm a business analyst, remember? It's what I

Several employees were also seen casting alluring glances at him. Since Jay was the heir to the Walters' empire, they all desired him. “Oh…these ladies….they keep tempting me,” Jay whispered, flashing a naughty smile at one of the ladies who kept trying to entice him. Trevor walked into Jay's office at that instant and saw his brother staring at one of the ladies, “Oh, don't go there bro, cos dad is not going like it at all!” Trevor warned him. “But she is kind of cute right?” Trevor added, chuckling. Jay chuckled as well. His brother was right though, Marcus was not going to tolerate any improper conduct in the office. Suddenly Jay's phone began to ring. “Damn it! She must think I'm talking to my father about Andrew!” Jay banged his desk when he saw Ariella’s call. *** “Okay, we need to try it out and see how good your code is,” Loretta's voice echoed in her office as she and Ethan stared at her computer screen. They had both spent the last couple of days working on Ethan's

Samantha glared at her mom, “Why the excited expression? Did something good happen?” Sarah chuckled, “Come off it! You don't expect me to lay down and mope all day do you?” “Have you checked what time it is? You've literally moped the day, Mom!” Sarah didn't pay much attention to Samantha’s response, “I'm down now and that's what's important.” “Have you heard what happened to Lopez Conglomerate?” Samantha suddenly asked. “Oh, yes dear. It's quite unfortunate what happened,” Sarah responded, making a sad face. Samantha thought it strange that her mother was happy on the same day that a tragic incident had taken place at the company but she said nothing in that light. Maurice and Ian suddenly walked in with sad expressions written on their faces. “Dad….Grandfather!” Samantha rushed to hug them both. “I heard about what happened at Lopez Conglomerate, I'm sorry!” Samantha apologized, knowing how passionate both her Grandfather and father were about the family company. “Come dear

Nash frowned, “That won't be possible mother, I have to be at the Lopez estate this morning. Maurice has fixed a date for my wedding with Loretta.” His mother's face instantly lit up. “That's great news! I'll let your father know then. Congratulations son!” His mother left his room in excitement. Nash smiled when he saw his mother's reaction. Meanwhile, Ethan and Loretta were about to leave for the office when Sarah called asking Loretta to come over briefly. Ethan recalled how disturbed Loretta had been the last time she had been called that way to her family home. “I don't think you should go. I'm sure whatever nonsense she has to say to you can wait. We just suffered a major blow barely two days ago and I need you in top shape if we are to navigate our way through this!” Ethan spoke to Loretta. Loretta sighed, “I know but she claimed it was my father who requested my presence.” “And who requested your presence the last time? Besides, since when did she become your father's s
