The sound of a scream suddenly interrupted Maurice's depressing thoughts.Maurice furrowed his brows, his confusion palpable.“What's that sound?” He wondered, peeping in the direction of Ian's room.A part of him wanted to go and see what the noise had been about but he shook his head instead, recalling his own reaction when he saw his father's lifeless body.The image still haunted him every time he closed his eyes.He had left his father's room as quickly as his feeble legs could carry him, having endured several days with little to no food.It still felt like a terrible nightmare to him, one that he desperately wished he would wake up from.He suppressed the feeling of going into his father's room as seeing his father's lifeless was only going to cause him more pain.“But what will I tell the girls?” He suddenly asked himself in a barely audible tone as Loretta and Samantha crossed his mind. He was grateful that Ethan had been able to hold the girls off for a little while even tho

Maurice stood at the door leading to Ian's room glaring in shock at his father.Ian smiled weakly at his son, “Hey son,” his frail voice was heard greeting Maurice.“Father! This….this is impossible!” Maurice exclaimed, rushing to hug his father.Ian winced slightly in Maurice's tight embrace causing Ethan to interrupt them, “I'm sorry Mr. Maurice, but your father needs a lot of rest. He's body is still very weak.”Maurice nodded, flicking off a teardrop.“I was quite carried away, I hope I didn't hurt him?” He asked with a frown, afraid he may have hurt Ian.“No son, this man is tougher than he looks,” Ian responded with a weak smile.Ethan chuckled at Ian's response, happy to see that Ian's sense of humor was still intact.Dr. Kris who had been screaming in excitement before Maurice came, was yet to get over what Ethan had just done.He suddenly dropped to his knees before Ethan, “Sir, I'm sorry but I'm not qualified to even work for you. I want to appeal to you that you make me you

Since Emiliano was unable to see Ethan's boss, he decided to poke at him instead with what he had done to Ian.Ethan furrowed his brows, glaring at Emiliano as he gloated at him.“How do you know he was poisoned? That information was never made public!”Martha chuckled loudly at that instant, understanding what her husband was trying to do, “It is quite unfortunate that bad things happen to good people, especially those who are around you! Get Andrew released and maybe they will stop!”Ariella smirked, “Time is of the essence here, kid, so act fast and maybe I'll convince my father not to get you fired! And even if you do get fired, Jay might just give you a job as one of his drivers.”Ethan frowned as something suddenly struck him. Emiliano was the supplier of the drug that had been used to poison Ian previously as well!Ethan had recognized the symptoms the moment he laid eyes on Ian as he had treated Ian if the exact same symptoms before, the only difference being the dosage and th

“This is it guys! We are taking home the price!” He chuckled excitedly.Ethan on the other hand simply ignored Ariella’s taunting stare and suddenly raised his bid sign, “Ten million dollars!”All the other bidders glared at Ethan in shock!“Who is he?” They began to whisper among themselves with sad expressions on their faces.Ariella also turned around in shock, glaring at Ethan in disbelief!Ethan had raked up the price by 9 million dollars, surprising all three of them!Jay instantly became agitated after Ethan suddenly took up the price by such a wide margin.“Where did this joker get that kind of money from!” Jay asked, clenching his fist in exasperation.All the other bidders instantly bowed out once they heard Ethan's offer. Ethan had exceeded their highest offer!Trevor stared at Ethan for a few seconds before speaking to his brother, “Bro, is this really the same fellow that was married to Ariella?”Jay smiled, “I'm sure he's only acting, he hasn't got a single penny to his

“Good, I see our stocks are already rising, keep it up son,” Marcus tapped his son on the shoulder before leaving the office.Jay chuckled excitedly as soon as his father left.He was happy his father had finally gotten over the license incident.‘If things went according to plan, he would make his marriage to Ariella an even bigger event,’ Jay thought to himself, smiling widely.Meanwhile, at Lopez Conglomerate, Ethan sat next to Loretta sipping a cup of coffee.Samantha suddenly walked in, excitement written all over her face.“Hey Sis, what's up, you look so excited,” Ariella hugged Samantha, beaming.“Yeah, she does, right,” Ethan chipped in, smiling.Samantha giggled as she withdrew from Loretta's arms, “Guess what, Sis!”Loretta furrowed her brows, “You know I can't guess, so what is it, Sam, out with it already!”Loretta’s response did the opposite of dampening Samantha’s mood, “Stanberry’s art exhibition is tonight!” Samantha broke the news, laughing.Loretta frowned, it was e
