Ethan went up to the third floor.The corridor he had carefully decorated had been completely transformed.The expensive calligraphy and paintings had all been replaced with cheap Western-style oil paintings. Even the overall decorating style had changed.Garbage bags lay scattered around, and an unpleasant odor filled the air.Of course. Helen's doing again."Young Master, you're back. This—this was all arranged by your mother-in-law. I couldn't stop her. She wouldn't listen to me."Lee looked visibly flustered, sweat beading on his forehead.There had genuinely been no way to stop her. That woman was relentless. Out of respect for Ethan, Lee hadn't pushed back harder than he had."I understand. It's not your fault. Go down for dinner," Ethan said calmly.He wasn't in the mood to go to his room just yet.Of course, he wasn't going to get worked up over something this trivial. A few hundred million worth of furniture meant nothing to him. If it was ruined, he could simply buy better p

"What? You want to buy the most expensive necklace?" The niece looked at Ethan with contempt. "Do you have that kind of money? Do you even know how much the most expensive piece here costs?""Ha — are you trying to get killed? You want to buy the most expensive necklace?" Felix sneered.A professionally dressed sales associate approached and asked Ethan, "Sir, are you serious? Our most expensive necklaces run into the tens of millions. They require reservation, and proof of funds is needed before I can arrange a meeting with our manager.""And you want to book him? Ha," Felix said with contempt. "Do you think he can actually afford something like that, looking the way he does? I know exactly what this is — he's not actually placing an order. We're both in the jewelry business — who doesn't know how this works?"Felix looked at Ethan with a playful expression. "Be honest — is this your move? Make a flashy in-person reservation, then have someone quietly cancel it for a few thousand dol

Ethan smiled and slipped a crystal box into his coat pocket."Alright," Sophia nodded, picking up on his cue immediately.They turned to leave the mall. Marcus had already brought the car around and opened the door with professional precision.Watching Ethan and Sophia walk away, Qin Yu felt a chill of anxiety. He couldn't shake the feeling that Ethan hadn't seemed entirely satisfied."Brother Quinn — what's going on? Why are you so afraid of that nobody? Why are you warning me like I've done something terrible?" Felix asked, still kneeling, full of confused resentment."Nobody? Say that again and I will end you right now," Qin Yu said, grabbing Felix and venting his fury."Felix — come back with me to see my father right now. And call your father to come too," Qin Yu said coldly. "If Mr. Ethan doesn't pursue this further, I'll let your father and you go live overseas. If he wants to push further, you're both out of the Quinn Family entirely — no money, nothing. You'll be begging on t

"What? You think you're being reasonable?" Sophia said in disbelief. Who behaves this way over something like this and demands a million dollars from family?"Reasonable? Fine — I'll explain it to you properly," William said arrogantly. "I'm only asking for a million privately because we're family. If it were anyone else, I'd cripple him outright.""Look at this hospital evaluation!" Helen's brother produced a document from his briefcase with great solemnity. "See this depression diagnosis from the hospital? The doctor says she shows suicidal tendencies and signs of schizophrenia. Do you understand how serious this is? This is a genuine mental health crisis — she can barely stay admitted!"He sighed dramatically. "I'm telling the whole family — I'll only ask for a million privately. Otherwise I'll pursue this through every avenue available to me. This is my daughter's life we're talking about."Sophia looked at the document with suspicion and read through it. It described poor sleep a

"Grace wants to talk to you about the old days. You haven't seen each other in years. And beyond that, she has something she needs your help with," the old master said, his tone turning serious. "Ethan — Grace and her mother have been deeply devoted to me over the years. Your grandfather is asking you, just this once, to help her.""Grandfather — whatever you've asked of me, I'll see it through," Ethan said.His grandfather was the only family he had left in this world. For the old man to make a personal request at his age meant it mattered. And there were very few things in this world Ethan couldn't accomplish if he set his mind to it.East Sea Province, Clearwater City International Airport.Surrounded by a line of suited bodyguards, an elegant woman in a rice-yellow dress, gold-rimmed glasses, and a refined, scholarly air walked slowly down the steps.An impressive convoy of Mercedes-Benz vehicles waited to receive her. At the entrance, formally dressed staff stood with extreme def
