Let's divorce
Inside Avalon Bar, on the outskirts of the Nile city.A young man clad in bargained clothes was busy cleaning up the counter to set up the place after it had been busy the previous night, bustling with customers. This had been the job he could get ever since, for years now. Though his salary was low, he still managed to work extra hours just to be able to keep his family intact and settle mostly his wife's bills.Fatigue was written all over his face, and even dark circles were around his eyes while his skin looked so pale, but none of it mattered as long as he was getting extra cash.While he was so engrossed in what he was doing, with sweat gushing out of his pores, a feminine voice echoed.“You must be Ethan Michael, right?”Ethan, the bartender, looked up after hearing the sound of footsteps approaching him. There, he saw a woman clad in a polyester suit, adorned in luxury, looking so exquisite walking towards him. Besides this, she was exuding a powerful aura like a battle warri
Running into his mother in law
Ethan froze, and a wry smile appeared on his face as he tried to understand what was going on. His wife, whom he had invested his effort, given his support, and loved even more than himself, after getting promoted, felt like he was no longer fit to be her husband.Then it was this man, this scion of the Hale family, that was now her class since he was rich and classy.“Punk, don't think too much about it. You don't even deserve such beauty like her. Look at you; you look like those beggars on the street. How do you intend to polish her lifestyle?” Logan stepped in and spoke discriminatingly.“Look, divorce her, and I can buy you an Audi car so you can become a Didi driver. I am sure you'll make better money over here than here,” he continued.Ethan looked at him, and anger flared up inside him. He clasped the towel in his hand. His teeth were gritted tightly. This man had the guts to ridicule him because his wife gave him the opportunity to. So this is what he gets, huh?He ignored L
A stolen card
“Stole from you?” Ethan was stunned, as he never expected her to say such a thing. Wasn't it hilarious? This ring was given to him just today by that mysterious woman, yet Charlotte had to act like she had seen it before. How and why?The securities frowned as they looked over at him, their eyes revealing how disgusted they were.“How dare you hurt an elderly woman and steal from her? Do you know there are consequences for such actions?” one of the guards sneered.“That’s not true. I only came here to make some transactions with the bank. This woman came looking for trouble with me.” Ethan explained quickly since the men looked like they might rain punches at him and also use their electric batons to hurt him.“Hahahaha, this loser is indeed very useless. Can a nobody like you have a business with such a prestigious bank? Do you think it's similar to that wretched bar you are working in? Wake up to reality, trash!” Charlotte, who was holding her back, pretending to be in severe pain,
You two are fired
“Don’t move, we are going to take you in, you thief!” The guards were quick to make a move, as after all, what Charlotte and Fiona said made a lot of sense, and if they didn’t take matters into their hands, they would be dealt with later on. Also, Charlotte had a bronze card and was considered a top priority by the bank. If she chose to lodge a complaint about them for neglecting this thief, their lives would be over too. “Wait, I just told you I didn’t steal this card, right? Why are you guys trying to attack me on my own right?” Ethan said with a frown. At this point, he realized his mother-in-law and her daughter would stop at nothing until his life was ruined entirely. Haven’t they had enough already?He was sure they were the ones who instigated Amelia to date Logan Hale so that she could initiate a divorce with him later on. For that one, they had won, yet it didn’t seem like it was enough.“Can we talk this through? You guys are mistaken.” Ethan tried to talk them out of it.
Turn yourself in
“What? Mom, did you just say Ethan attacked you?” Amelia’s furious voice could be heard on the line immediately after.“Yes. That man is so vicious. He is involved in theft and has a fake black card he wants to use to cheat the bank. We tried to report him, but he sabotaged the whole situation and reported us instead, saying we were the ones carrying a fake card. The bank director had to come over and seize it.”Charlotte explained while faking tears just to make it more believable. “What? How dare he?” Amelia was hopping mad. Her voice was almost breaking through the phone speakers.“Sister, you have to get justice for us. How could he hurt Mother so badly and still have our card confiscated? You know Logan gave us that card and how authentic it is, yet that damn punk has to make us suffer for something we weren’t guilty of.” Fiona also joined in as she leaned towards the phone.On the other side of the phone, Amelia froze in shock. She never expected Ethan to go so far as to indulg
A senior director
An hour later, both of them drove over to Grand City Hall in the city. It was a noble place known by all to hold such a grand event that would be attended by several big shots in the city. As soon as they parked, a call came in on Axel's phone. It was one of her superiors at the bank, so she couldn’t just ignore it.“I’m sorry I’ll have to pick this.” She said to Ethan.“It’s fine. Go ahead. I’ll step out first.” Ethan nodded before hopping out of the car. While Axel was busy with her call, he had no reason to stay in the car to listen to whatever she had to say. Besides, he wanted to get a view of the place since this was his first time here. He began to take a stroll, but it wasn’t long until he heard someone call his name.“Ethan?” He turned only to see Amelia standing so close with Logan while he had just had his hand wrapped around her waist so possessively.“You still can’t stay away from me, can you? How dare you follow me here?” Her face scrunched up into a frown at once.“
If he wants
Amelia's frown deepened even more as she learned of Axel's identity. This woman held a status that was far more significant than hers. In fact, at a table where such kinds of people were seated, she could only wish but might never be able to sit there.This made her green with envy, and the discomfort in her heart couldn’t be shaken. What was worse, right after she dumped this good-for-nothing husband of hers, he was able to bag such an exquisite lady, who was far better than her.This made her feel inferior. She was supposed to be able to keep looking down at him, but in the face of Axel, it felt like she was supposed to hide her face away.Well, soon, she would realize Ethan's true colors and dump him too. She was sure of it. As the realization dawned on her, she found her face and ego again, and a prideful look settled back on her face. However, she noticed how Logan kept staring at Axel, and unable to stomach it, she pulled him over to the direction of the entrance quickly.“Let’
Leeching off a woman
Does this punk have a death wish or what? Everyone looked at him only to find a smug expression on his face. Did he perhaps think that this place was a roadside stall where he could get some cheap goods and flaunt his stupidity, or what?Logan was more provoked than anyone else. Does this man know when not to step on his nerve, or does he not like the fact that he still has teeth in his mouth? Does he want to lose them or what?“Let’s see how you’ll take the ring from me,” Logan said with a threatening tone as he sternly stared at Ethan.Whereas, the guests already knew Ehan was broke and could afford nothing. By the time the main event commenced, they would see where he was going to hide his face. Everyone saw him as an eyesore and they began to gossip about him.“Hello ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats as the auction is about to start immediately.”However, just then, a man in a suit walked up to the main stage holding a mic as he addressed the crowd. He was the auctionee
Praying a game
Everyone looked in the direction of who spoke, at most expecting that perhaps a big shot might have walked in while they were so engrossed with the event, but to their surprise, who they saw was Ethan.Ethan? The worthless junk dared to even stand up on his chair and bid such an amount? Was he perhaps nuts, or had he lost his mind already? What the heck was this?“Did Axel tell him to speak up, or what?” Logan thought to himself as it didn’t make sense that Ethan would sanely stand up to bid on such an item from his pocket when he was worth only a few bucks, down to nothing.But right after the thought crossed his mind, a mischievous smile followed. The reason was that, due to the laws of the auction set by Orion Asher, the bidder and the payer must be the same person. That meant you would have to pay for the item you bided and not get someone else to come to your rescue.Since Ethan was bidding for this item, he had to be the one to pay for it. It seems he didn’t know of this rule; t
Payment successful!
Hmph! At this moment, everyone looked at Ethan and huffed. Not even Axel, a senior staff member from the bank, will be able to save him. He was busy throwing his weight around without realizing the consequences of it? What a joke!He even had the guts to go against Logan? A scion from a powerful family? Of course Ethan was doomed. No one could save him now, not even the heavens.“Come on, punk, you don’t think you’ll escape, do you? Now pay up. Let’s see how you can fork out five hundred million dollars since you have the guts to call it so casually like it’s something a bum like you can have at will.” Logan sneered.In fact, he didn’t care to reveal what his intentions had been, as already, Ethan had foolishly fallen for it.“Let me tell you, even a rich scion like me wouldn’t dare to go to such an extent—buy a useless ring worth such an amount of money. I was only saying those prices to lure you in, and it seems you fell for it! Hahahahaha, what a wastrel.” He added.“Perhaps he f
