"Young Master!" Dante bowed respectfully to Ethan, his expression solemn and full of reverence. Looking at Dante, Ethan's calm gaze flickered with a subtle but distinct intensity. Years ago, after he was saved by that girl, he met the old man who changed his life.Under the old man’s guidance, Ethan not only learned incredible skills but also built a powerful network, gathering the world's top forces under his control. Among them was the most influential and secretive organization—The Blackgold Consortium.Dante, as the leader of this conglomerate, had become Ethan’s most loyal subordinate, protecting him with unwavering dedication.“Get up,” Ethan said calmly, his voice steady.“Yes, Young Master.”Dante immediately rose and quickly stepped behind Ethan. His expression was complex as he glanced at Ethan before carefully speaking up.“By the way, Young Master, now that Serena has betrayed you... Does this mean our alliance with the Blackwell family is...?”Ethan cut him off without

When Ariana recognized who had arrived, her face instantly darkened with fury. Even after the divorce, he'd somehow gotten wind of tonight's event and showed up—clearly trying to sabotage her daughter's dinner with Victor. Storming over, she glared down at him with undisguised contempt. "Ethan! Since when do trash like you belong in a place like this?" Her shrill voice cut through the lobby. "Don't think I don't know your game! You came to ruin this, didn't you? Well it won't work!" Ethan stiffened at the familiar venom. His gaze turned glacial as he countered, "What I do here is none of your concern." "You—!" Ariana's face twisted. With a mocking laugh, she gestured around the gilded lobby. " Golden Palace is Clouddale's only five-star restaurant. Members only. You think you can sneak in and freeload here?" Not wanting to waste any more time on Ariana, Ethan ignored her and continued on toward the grand entrance. But just as he reached the doors, a security guard stepped forwa

After Cruz finished speaking, Victor’s expression immediately shifted.A person who could even be looked up to by Mr. Steele or Dante?Who exactly was this big shot?Cruz continued, “Do you know that your so-called mother-in-law, Ariana, has been disrupting the order of our restaurant?”“If this ends up irritating that important guest, are you prepared to face the consequences?”Cruz’s final words were like a heavy blow, landing hard on Victor’s chest.Immediately, Victor’s face drained of color, and his breathing became rapid."Mr. Cruz, I… I’ll speak with my future mother-in-law about this. Please, could you speak to that guest on our behalf? Hopefully, they'll be understanding, and this can be resolved..."“Enough!”Before Victor could finish, Cruz impatiently cut him off and hung up the phone.Victor’s face darkened, his anger growing.Dammit! Ariana’s a fool!Seeing this, Serena immediately looked at Victor with concern and asked anxiously, “Victor, what’s going on? What happened

"Oh, come on, Ethan! Being a loser is one thing, but now you’re going around talking like that? Honestly, I’m starting to think that divorcing you was the best decision I’ve ever made!"Serena looked at Ethan with pure disdain.Then, as if something suddenly occurred to her, her eyes flickered with a touch of sarcasm and contempt."And don’t even try to say that I owe you! You’re the one who owes me!""You think I don’t know? The Phoenix ring you left home is exactly like Avery Mitchell’s!""That's the proof that you’ve cheated on me!"Boom!Ethan froze, his face turned pale with shock.The ring exactly like Avery’s?Did it mean that the ring he had seen earlier didn’t belong to Serena? But belonged to Avery?He had married Serena and secretly helped her all this time because he was convinced that the ring she wore was the same one he had given to the girl who saved his life all those years ago.But now, Serena was telling him that the ring wasn’t hers at all, but Avery’s?Ethan was c

As Ethan’s words fell, every eye in the room snapped toward him.They all wanted to see who’d dared to spout such arrogant nonsense.Serena, in particular, wore a scowl, her expression icy.Who the hell had the guts to pull this?When she turned and caught sight of that familiar figure, her face turned frigid. “Ethan? Who do you think you are, running your mouth here!” she snapped.“Security! Where the hell is security?!”Her voice hadn’t faded before Golden Palace’s security guards came hurrying over. But when their eyes flickered to Ethan, their faces twisted into complicated looks.With the guards now present, Serena suddenly found her backbone.She pointed at Ethan, nose in the air. “I’m ordering you as a Platinum Member! Throw him out of here! Trash like him doesn’t belong in a place like this—he’ll only stain the eyes of us Platinum Members. Got it?!”Her words dripped with contempt, reducing Ethan to nothing more than “trash.”But the guards just stood frozen, as if her orders
