“How…” Harry was shocked. “He isn’t supposed to know that!” He turned to Eva and growled at her. “I hope you didn’t tell me the answer! You know that this is a challenge, and no one is to help him!”“That’s a very easy question, Harry.” Ethan interrupted. “Even a junior student in computer science would know the answer.’Damian nodded. “You are right, Sir Ethan.” He sighed heavily, relieved that his instincts were proving to be right. “Next question.” He turned to Harry. “Are you ready?”“Always.” Harry turned to Ethan and glared, eager to crush him.“What was the first software program that was built in this company?”Harry sniggered. “Is this a joke, Mr. Damian? Don’t you have harder questions?” “Just answer the question, Mr. Harry.”Harry grunted. “The Larry B 12, built in the year, 2012 by the former CEO of this country. It was renamed Latitude 12 earlier this year.” Everyone clapped. “That’s correct, Mr. Harry!” Damian sighed, not knowing if he was supposed to be satisfied

Confidently, Ethan stepped closer to the computer, but before he could get to it, Harry got in the way, sniggering to taunt him. “Did you see that?” Harry pointed at the screen. “I bet that you would never be able to achieve that. That is the kind of thing that happens when you know what you are doing. I will advise that you just give up already. There is no need.” Ethan scoffed. “I agree that this is good.” He turned to the screen and stared for a while. “But you completely forgot to create a backup lock for the program you just created.”Harry twisted his expression. “You know nothing, boy! I have been creating this kind of program since I was a teenager! You cannot tell me what to do!”“That’s the point.” Ethan sighed. “You have always been making use of the same methods to do things, and now you don’t know how to make use of other methods of coding.”Harry was infuriated, especially as he saw that the audience was paying keen attention to what Ethan was saying.“Let me see what

Harry laughed again, finding Ethan’s words very funny.“Are you sure you really want to do this, Boy? You can easily walk away, and we don’t have to increase the same that you are facing already.” “I am sure, Harry.” Ethan nodded without getting rid of his smile. He turned to Damian and gestured to him. “Please run the program.”The old man nodded, and taking a deep breath, he pushed his hand toward the keyboard.For a moment, he looked at Ethan, thinking that he was going to change his mind about him running the program.Left with no choice, he clicked the button, and what followed at once left him bewildered.His eyes widened in astonishment. “I have never seen anything like that!” He confessed, unable to take his eyes off the screen. The program had caught the attention of the audience, and those who could get close to the screen didn’t wait for even a second.They started trooping forward in their numbers, attempting to take a peep at the screen. Harry tried to fight off the c

Harry gasped, his eyes expanding while his heart thudded violently against his ribcage. “Stop that!” He yelled, attempting to get to Ethan.But the crowd refused to let him, standing between him and Ethan with scowling eyes lashing at him.They were angry and disappointed, and soon, they began to move toward him, causing him to stagger backward. “There is still more,” Ethan announced, drawing the immediate attention of the hungry crowd. “You have no right to invade my privacy, you Leech!” Harry yelled from the corner where he was standing for safety, sweating profusely.“Not when your privacy has to do with the safety of this establishment.” Ethan retorted, and then he moved to the next files that were lined up on the screen. Apart from the clips of the female employees in the company Harry was having affairs with, there were documents of the illegal deals he signed, the programs he refused to accept because he considered the male employees incapable, and some other documents show

Stunned by their actions, Ethan separated his lips, but he couldn’t find his words.No one had ever shown him that amount of respect, not even when he was running his own tech company.It appeared that his actions had given them hope, and they were willing to do whatever it was going to take to keep him as their new leader. “Please don’t change your mind about keeping the position of the new CEO, Mr. Ethan.” A lady in a pink suit pleaded, slowly lifting her face toward Ethan. “Rise, all of you.” Ethan said with a low but audible tone, then he turned to Eva.“I think we are done with the introduction, Eva. Aren’t we?”“Yes, Mr. Ethan.” Eva nodded reluctantly, unsure of what was next she was supposed to expect from Ethan.“I need to go see my sister. Take me away from here.” Ethan began to walk away, and Eva had to follow at once. She made a quick call, and an escort of cars lined up in front of the building.Ethan got into one of the cars, and she joined him after running with her h

The medical director turned to Ethan, his eyes firing shots of disapproval.Then his brows furrowed, the anger of immediate recognition hanging above his eyes.“You again!” He pointed, snorting in annoyance.Rick Smith had been the director of Starline Hospital for over a decade, and he had been known for his arrogance and intimidating demeanor. He never cared about the health of his patients, especially those who couldn’t afford to pay their medical bills. Ethan had pleaded with him to give him more time to pay for his sister’s surgery, pestering him without getting even the slightest sympathy from him. “What the hell are you doing here?! And why is Miss Evans kneeling before you?!” He turned to the hospital security guards, and seeing that they were still trembling with fright, he glared at them.“Why have you been standing here and watching this lunatic disturb the peace of this hospital?! Seize him and throw him out! I am sure he is claiming to be who he isn’t!”The security m

Seeing what was happening before them, the crowd that had gathered to watch began to feel the aura of the merger man they had looked down on.“I think he may be Miss Eva’s husband. Maybe he married her to become this powerful.” A lady who had come to see her sick daughter suggested, but seeing the lack of romance between Ethan and Eva, she was forced to take back her words.“I doubt if those two can ever have anything to do with each other.” A man in a blue suit chipped in. “They are like ice and lava, nothing is connecting them.The comments kept pouring, but no one had yet been able to picture the reality that was going on before them.Ethan ignored everything he heard, turning to the nurse with a wry smile. “I think I have the perfect punishment for you." He said, and turning to Eva, he took a deep breath. “Take me to my sister at once.” He demanded, and Eva wasted no time in leading the way to the special ward where Ethan’s sister had been kept. “Follow me,” Ethan said to the

At his instruction, Ethan was dropped not too close to the Kilson family Villa. He wished he didn’t have to be there, but Emma had been waiting for him, and he needed to speak with her after a very long time of being away. “Where have you been, Ethan?” Emma who seemed to have been worried sick asked as soon as she set her eyes on him, her body displaying a slight tension. “I have been waiting for you to come home, Ethan. I really wanted to talk to you.” She took a deep breath, but that didn’t look like it was going to be able to grant her relief. Ethan looked her in the eyes, and seeing her worrisome expression, he asked, “What’s wrong, my dear? Why do you look so worried?” Emma silently looked him in the eyes and took a deep breath. Her lips parted but she couldn’t find the right words to say.“Talk to me, Love. What happened?” Ethan insisted, grabbing her with both hands.“Did anything happen today, Ethan?” Emma finally found her words, but her voice gradually lost its grip.“A

Whatever the case was, Madam Theresa was disgusted by his presence, and it seemed like his words had fueled her rage.“Since when did you feel the need to compliment my outfit?!” She yelled at him, sharing the same shock as every other person in the room.“Why act as though you got them for me, Ethan? You could never afford even the cheapest thing I am wearing in your lifetime!”Again, those words that were supposed to sting didn’t seem to hurt Ethan.He had an invisible tolerance to them, holding onto his smile even in the midst of the rising tension hovering in the air. “Grandma?” Natasha turned to the old lady, her eyes glittering with intense fury. “I have something to tell you!” She scowled at Emma, ignoring her plea for her to remain silent. Jeff nodded. “Yes, Grandma. We have something very important to tell you.” He folded his arms, pointing at Ethan while his chest rose and fell. The old lady was still angry that Ethan had the guts to sit on the couch, and the fact that he

Emma gasped, the words her Grandma said to her sent shivers down her spine. Turning to Ethan, she pleaded, “Just get rid of your pride and beg for mercy, Ethan. I beg you!” Ethan shook his head in refusal, holding onto his stern expression. “That’s never going to happen again. I will never be reduced to a slave because I married you, Emma. It seems you are happy that your husband is constantly ridiculed by your family.”Those words hit Emma so hard that she hard to taking a deep breath, and in her defense, she said, “I didn’t say that, Ethan,”Her husband grunted. “You insinuated it.” He turned to Madam Theresa, his eyes staring almost without blinking.“I am sure you remember that we had a deal. My wife is going to get a call from the Assistant to the new CEO of Tenent company, and she is no longer going to have to divorce me.” Ethan spoke with so much confidence, but his words caused Madam Theresa and the rest of the family members to laugh out so loudly.Natasha pointed at Ethan,
