"Huh? Who said that the cooperation the secret company had with Milma has been canceled?" Ethan asked again; this time his voice had an icy edge.The room was quiet for what felt like an eternity. "Rosanna, did you invite this sick friend or do you have another scheme to plot with him like the last one?" Belen scoffed."Stop it, Belen; you can throw your words at me but not at Ethan," she said, causing Belen to burst into a fit of laughter."You're so funny, sister. Your friend here barely knows anything about politics! There's no way he must have seen the news to know the current update," Belen sneered."Belen...." Rosanna called; her voice was shaking in terror as she really wanted Belen out of the conversation she was having with Belen."No, I think someone has to teach this friend of Rosanna's a lesson..." Belen paused, turning to Vera as if seeking approval from her.Vera gave him a gentle nod, causing a smirk to curve up to his lips before shifting his gaze to Ethan. "Look here.

Ethan frowned at Belen's question before responding in a cold, emotionless voice, "If anyone dares to bother Rosanna again, I won't hesitate to have Secret Corporation permanently cancel their partnership, and that includes this family!" Ethan said, making sure he was being clear about what he said so that if anything happens in the near and far future and the Secret Corporation cancels their partnership with Milma, Rosanna is not to be blamed. "That would also affect her," Belen said in a cold breath, causing a wicked small laugh to escape Ethan's lips. "Rosanna would be provided more opportunities; do you think I'll leave her stranded? I'll make sure that the Milma family will be left out entirely." He informed causing Belen to swallow hard, as he could no longer bring himself to say a single word out of fear. Ethan took Rosanna's hand, and staring straight into her eyes, he made her follow him out of the building. Tears filled Rosanna's eyes as she followed him out of the ro

Ethan furrowed his brows at Mike's words; his expression turned cold as ice as the words were very unpleasant to his ear. In a rage, Ethan gritted his teeth and kicked Mike, hitting him for the second time, causing Mike to scream in pain on the floor. "Sir... Please, you're only making things worse for yourself. When the leader of Los Lobos finally comes... You'll be in big trouble… Please stop doing this; stop harming a member of the Tristin family." The manager pleaded because he was scared, and so were Rosanna and every other person present in the room. Some started to think that he'll deserve whatever Los Lobos boss puts him through, as he was really stubborn. "He was given a chance out! A chance that many would relish, and yet... he threw it! That's really not nice! So I can't pity a man who doesn't pity himself..." "You're right, but still... A gentleman cannot leave his lady for another man." "Haven't you heard the saying—a wise sailor flees from the sea when the storm is

"Oh, I pity you, Ethan. You've only just made things worse! Unfortunately, my brother is around the area, and he is in a really bad mood"! Mike said with a smirk hanging on his lips.Ethan narrowed his eyes; he was told of Mike's whining; he wanted some action."I already told you, lad! Call your so-called brother and stop whining," Ethan said, growing impatient.His palms were itching, and he just wanted his fist to hit something.Just then, the door of the restaurant opened, and all eyes turned to the door in horror."Who dares lay a hand on my brother, a Tristin?" John said. Ethan narrowed his eyes, a small smile playing on his lips as he responded in a relaxed tone, "John, is this how you teach your little brother to behave?"The entire group gasped uniformly. They had seen Ethan's bold side, but at least they expected him to have some fear in front of John Tristin."I don't seem to understand where this man gets his confidence from... I mean... the audacity should be questioned."

"What is your condition! Anything you want us to do, we will! And forever be loyal to you!" Antonio said, causing Ethan to smirk."I'm granting you power over the Nalson gang and every other gang in the country, and in return you'll promise to maintain peace in the city and have the Los Lobos gang engage in legitimate business," Ethan said, causing a smile to immediately appear on Antonio's face.He was overjoyed because Ethan's task was easy; he just needed to keep his men under control."Thank you so much! Thank you, Ethan. I and my gang will forever be loyal to you! I won't ever be ungrateful!" He promised, causing Ethan to nod."But Ethan, I think the Nalson gang is up to something. I don't know what exactly they're planning, but believe me, it's big and dangerous, and you won't like it. I don't know who they're working with yet, but I'll have to find out if you wish me to," Antonio said, but Ethan was not interested in whatever the Nalson gang was plotting."You don't have to wor
