take her to dinner
River Garden, outside Ethan's home.William and Helen were talking to a young man downstairs.Nathan was wearing a dark red suit and holding a bouquet of flowers."Uncle, Auntie — please ask Sophia to come down for a chat. I'd love to take her to dinner tonight," Nathan said with a smile."And these are small gifts for you both."As he spoke, Nathan handed two gift boxes to Helen and William.Helen quietly opened hers and looked inside. Her eyes lit up immediately.Stacks of cash — at least two hundred thousand dollars in total.Helen was quietly dazzled. Truly worthy of the Wallace Family's young master. He was generous and thoughtful. He hadn't even started pursuing Sophia yet and was already spending this freely. He was in an entirely different class from that useless Ethan."My goodness, you really didn't have to. Young Master Nathan, I'll go call Sophia down right now. You young people should spend more time together — have dinner, go shopping, see a film," Helen said with a beam
he wet himself
"Did you hear that? Do you really need to wait for Young Master Nathan to have someone break your legs before you give in?" Helen sneered at Ethan, her face full of contempt.She couldn't wait for Nathan to find someone to bring Ethan to his knees so she could finally vent everything that had happened at the old residence. She wanted Ethan to understand exactly where he stood — that he was nothing without Victoria's name behind him — and then come crawling back to beg Sophia for a meal. At that point, she would find a way to drain everything he had gained from his connection to Victoria, and then discard him.She had only pretended to speak up for Ethan earlier to make a good impression on Nathan. If she persuaded Ethan to back down, it would naturally endear her to him."Hello? Hello!" Nathan kept shouting into his phone. His expression was wrong.What was happening? The head bodyguard had hung up on him?A dozen bodyguards had been waiting on the far side of the building just moment
do you know who I am?
"Who are you? What do you want? Do you know who I am?" Nathan said in horror. He looked at the group of powerfully built men radiating killing intent and kept stumbling backward in panic.In his panic, Nathan fell off the bonnet of the car and hit the ground. He scrambled up in a sorry state and grabbed the car door for support."Is this really the young master of the Wallace Family? Quite a show," one of the lean fighters said with a sneer."You know I'm the young master of the Wallace Family?" Nathan looked stunned. He stared at Ethan and then at the others in disbelief.How was this possible? These men knew who he was — and they still dared to deal with his bodyguards and rough him up?Where had Ethan found people like this?Nathan was completely lost."So what if you are?" the lean fighter said with contempt."You know I'm the young master of the Wallace Family and you still hit me?" Nathan was both shocked and furious. "You are all fools. You're going to offend me because of this
it must be Victoria
"Otherwise, Spencer will come forward! You can try and see if your father, Walter, can handle it!"After saying that, Connor rushed forward and kicked Nathan to the ground, causing him to scream in pain.Nathan knelt at the entrance of the residential area. His face was pale and filled with shame and anger. His entire body was in pain. Looking at the mocking eyes of the residents passing by, he wanted to die!There were also many pedestrians and car drivers who picked up their phones and took videos.Nathan gritted his teeth and lowered his head. He could not understand who he had offended.Today, he was only here to deal with Ethan. How could he have gotten himself into such a huge trouble?How could Ethan, a weakling, have such great power? How could he let Spencer, who had shaken the entire Clearwater City, step forward?It must be Victoria!Nathan's heart was filled with hatred. He had figured out the crux of the problem. Other than Victoria, no one would help a loser like Ethan!
the guts
North City, Ocean Building, Riverside Real Estate Group.The office building on the thirty-third floor was completely dark under the night sky.The employees of Ocean Building had already left work or had been asked to leave the company.In the underground parking lot, more than ten off-road vehicles were parked. More than ten men in black were guarding the only entrance to the elevator.On the thirty-third floor, in the chairman's office, Jake was sitting on the chairman's seat. He was restless. Sweat was dripping down his forehead. He kept filling himself with tea and taking one mouthful after another.Outside the door, there seemed to be a lot of people kicking the door."Jake, come out! Do you think you can hide in the office with the door locked?""Do you know that you are about to die? You are just a lackey of the Sterling Family. How dare you bite your master back? Do you know that you are courting death?"Jake lit a cigarette and took a deep breath. He was under tremendous pre
I won't sign
Jake bit down and said nothing. His face was twisted with pain."What? Still hesitating? Don't you even care about your own mother?" Rex asked. "I'm a little curious — who gave you enough backing to dare swallow the Sterling Family's assets and hold onto them?""You're that loyal? Not even for your mother's life? You want to protect whoever is behind you that much?" Rex said with a playful expression.Jake sneered and said in a low voice, "If I sign the contract, you'll let me and my mother go? Don't treat people like fools."As far as the Sterling Family was concerned, there was no coming back from what had already happened. He had given years of his life to that family and had gotten nothing but humiliation in return.Now they had kidnapped his elderly mother. Did anyone genuinely believe the Sterling Family would let him walk away after this?*Bang!*Rex slapped Jake across the face and said, "Hit him."A dozen large men stepped forward and gave Jake a thorough beating, leaving him
no one touches you
"You — who are you?" Rex stared at Ethan with complete disbelief, panic rising in his chest.He couldn't work out how this young man in a white shirt had gotten through.Where were the more than twenty armed men guarding the elevator entrance?Even if they had been caught off guard, surely at least one of them would have managed to send a warning?The only explanation was that all twenty-plus men had been subdued in an instant — so fast that none of them had time to make a call.The more he thought about it, the more his hands shook."Who do you think you are? How dare you touch Rex?" one of the large men said furiously, glaring at Ethan."Let him go right now, or you're not walking out of this building today."Several of Rex's men started shouting. They drew daggers from their waists and pointed them at Ethan.Ethan sneered and kicked Rex — limp as a dead weight — to the side. Then he moved."Get him!""One man — are you serious? You're dead!"More than a dozen men who had lived by t
barking man
Ethan sneered and said nothing. Rex had no shame whatsoever. Men like Rex who blustered and threatened on the phone or online always turned out to be the most spineless when they faced something real. "It was my loose mouth. I said the wrong things. I'll punish myself," Rex knelt on the ground and slapped his own face repeatedly, each strike harder than the last. The imprint of his own fingers appeared on his cheek. Jake stepped forward and unleashed everything he had been holding back — several punches and kicks, measured but forceful, slapping Rex's face and driving his shoe into Rex's head. He had been carrying a stomach full of fury, and now it all came pouring out. If his mother weren't still in the Sterling Family's hands, he would have finished Rex on the spot. After Jake had dealt with him thoroughly, Rex curled up with tears running down his face. "I'm asking you, Rex — where are you holding my mother?" Jake's eyes were red. He picked up Rex's pistol from the desk and pr
crown club
North District, bustling central area, entertainment strip — flashy venues lined the streets in every direction. KTV clubs, large hotels, restaurants, and various establishments where people came to spend money and be seen.The Clearwater Palace — also known locally as the Crown Club.More than a dozen floors rose above the most profitable stretch of the entertainment district. People moved in and out constantly and business never stopped.It was the most celebrated playground in the North District.Each floor offered a different experience — Chinese dining, western cuisine, a wine lounge, VIP private rooms, card and games rooms, a large billiards hall, a bar, a live music bar, top-tier presidential suites, a swimming pool, a sports court, and private screening rooms for racing and football.In the North District, the saying was — bring enough money and you can find anything you want here.This was not only the base of operations for the North District's most powerful man, but also th
who are you
"Jake? You — how did you get here?" Felix said in horror, staring as though he were seeing a ghost."Did Rex fail? How is that possible?" one of Felix's men said, equally stunned.For a moment, Felix's face went through several rapid changes.Just moments ago they had been happily waiting for news of Jake's submission — certain it was only a matter of time.And yet here was Jake, standing in front of them just minutes later.Which meant everyone Rex had brought was down."Felix — where is my mother?" Jake asked in a cold, furious voice.Felix's eyes narrowed slightly. Once he understood that Jake had come with backup, the initial shock faded. He wasn't afraid.Jake's mother was still in his hands. That was the unbeatable card."Oh." Felix sneered, glancing at Ethan and then back at Jake. "Your mother is missing — what does that have to do with me?""You two didn't come all the way to the Crown Club just to cause me trouble, did you?" Felix said, drawing on his cigar with great composu
