Suddenly, a few of the higher-ups of the company stood up and began throwing unreasonable accusations at Ethan with angry expressions on their faces. It was as if Ethan had really stolen the King of the World."Actually, I had already suspected that something was wrong last time. Although Sophia had only been in office for a day, she had already bought a car that was worth at least five hundred thousand dollars!" Derek exclaimed with a serious expression as he analyzed the situation. "From this alone, we can assume that the car was one of the few things she bought after selling the jewelry worth tens of millions of dollars. Looking at how she spends her money recklessly, do any of you really see her fit to stand in her position, let alone be in charge of such an important project? Isn't she secretly hoarding and using the money for herself?""Last time, I asked the manager of the finance department to check her account. However, no one from the top management of the company was willin
the hundred of million worth stolen jewelry
Twenty minutes later, Sophia and Ethan returned to Riverside District.As soon as Ethan entered, the two elders in the house got up from the sofa and asked in a panic."Ethan, what happened to the jewelry that Sophia was responsible for? Why didn't you pay more attention to it?"Having already received the news of the disappearance of the jewelry, the two elders began throwing out questions in the moment of anxiety.It certainly was not easy for their daughter to have such an opportunity to rise up in the company. If her life was ruined because of this matter, they would regret it for the rest of their lives."It's nothing. Just a small matter," Ethan replied calmly."A small matter?! Do you really think the two of us are old fools?" Helen said angrily. "The jewelry that Sophia personally designed, worth tens of millions of dollars, was stolen! Don't you understand how severe this issue is?""William, just take a look at your wonderful son-in-law! He doesn't seem to care about this ma
meeting with Victor
Anyone in the vicinity of Ethan's current presence would certainly not be able to help but tremble in fear. While the menacing aura lingered eerily around his body, his deadly voice alone could cause one's knees to go numb.Beads of sweat gradually appeared on Spencer's forehead. He could suddenly smell the stench of blood."Arrange a meeting with Victor for further negotiations at once," Ethan said calmly.Spencer replied hesitantly, "Master Ethan, Victor will probably only be willing to negotiate in his own territory, East City. After all, why would a rabbit come out of its hole and put itself in danger?"Ethan's eyes flickered with killing intent as he stated, "Then, let's go to East City!""Master Ethan, you must not underestimate Victor's strength and influence in East City. I'm afraid that even I won't be able to fight toe-to-toe against him in his territory," Spencer warned with a dejected expression.Having interacted with Victor for the past many years, Spencer naturally knew

"Hand it over at once, and I'll spare your life!"Ethan remained unfazed despite being under the aim of Victor's gun. Spencer, on the other hand, looked extremely embarrassed."Haha! Spare my life?" Victor laughed after hearing those ridiculous words. "Hahahaha! Brothers, this useless son-in-law came to my doorstep and claimed that he would spare my life?""Boss Victor, this trash is simply a fool. Just cripple him.""Boss Victor, I think this good-for-nothing has yet to wake up from his sleep. Why don't we throw him into the river and wake him up first?"Victor's two capable subordinates both laughed mockingly."At least you have the guts to barge into my territory to meet me personally," Victor said with a cold smile. "However, do you think you can act arrogantly in front of me just because you've fawned over Spencer?""I'm certainly not afraid of telling you the truth. I indeed am the person responsible for messing with you! I was the one who sent my men to steal that piece of jewe

"Ethan, what do you want? What are you thinking of doing?"The closer Ethan stepped towards him, the more terrified Victor became. Under Ethan's domineering presence, Victor was so scared out of his wits that his legs went completely numb. Staggering in his steps, he tripped over his own foot and fell onto his back. As Victor attempted to retreat by sliding backward, he looked like a cockroach that had fallen into a helpless position."What are you guys just standing there for?! Stop him!" Victor shouted in fear as he waved at his men.Despite his desperate calls for help, none of Victor's dozens of men dared to obstruct Ethan in his path.Everyone present in the factory stood petrified in a state of utter shock as they stared at Ethan with fear and respect.Upon recalling the previous sequence of events, a great sense of doom struck down on their minds.Not only was Ethan practically immune to gunshots, but he was even able to knock down a dozen ruthless fighters within the span of a
jewelry exhibition
The next day.Early in the morning, Ethan and Sophia set off from Riverside District towards Clearwater Commercial Skyscraper in the city center.While Marcus concentrated on driving, Ethan was resting with his eyes closed in the back seat of the car. On the other hand, Sophia looked extremely worried about the day."Ethan, what did you do last night?" Sophia suddenly asked.Ethan slowly opened his eyes and smiled, "Can I assume that you are concerned about me?""Tch!" Sophia rolled her eyes in irritation at Ethan."Never in a million years. I was simply worried about the jewelry exhibition today. Since the final product I designed has been stolen, I'm not sure how we're going to explain the situation to our guests," Sophia said anxiously.Ethan responded, "Don't worry. I have already settled the matter last night."Sophia looked doubtful and asked, "How did you do it? Did you really get the King of the World back?""Why don't you take a guess?" Ethan smiled.Sophia bit her lips and p
difficulties unnecessarily
"Security, escort these two out."Natalie said confidently and waved her hand. At that moment, three or four staff members dressed in security uniforms immediately responded to her commands from the side."These two people do not have the right to enter, yet they still wanted to go take a seat inside. They are obviously trying to cause a ruckus at the exhibition, so chase the two of them out at once!" Natalie said bluntly."The two of you, please stop," the four security guards said seriously and stretched out their hands to block Sophia and Ethan's path."What is the meaning of this? I am the Chief Design Officer of the company, yet I cannot enter my own venue?" Sophia said angrily."Haha!" Natalie sneered with disdain. "Sophia, have you already forgotten about the mistake you made in the King of the World Project? Since you messed up the project, you would naturally be fired immediately. Thus, I have already arranged for other guests to take your original seats. There is no longer a

"That piece of trash, Ethan, actually dared to talk to us in such a preposterous manner! If we don't teach him a lesson now, I'm afraid he will be even more arrogant in the future," Sterling said frustratingly as his veins popped out on his forehead, on the verge of eruption.After all, he was the young master of the Sterling Family, one of the most influential families in Clearwater City. Who would have the audacity to act so arrogantly before him, even in the circle of wealthy people in the city?However, a mere pathetic son-in-law like Ethan actually dared to use Sophia's position as Chief Design Officer of the Harrison Group to put on airs in front of him? Could that brat really not distinguish between life and death?"What the hell is going on with Derek? Could it be that Ethan really managed to bring back the King of the World?" Natalie frowned slightly as she exclaimed with a livid expression. Thinking about how a useless brat like Ethan actually had the nerve to make her suffe

over from her seat."Sophia, I don't know what kind of rubbish you ended up designing but let me tell you, the Everlasting Light I created is absolutely perfect and flawless. Your inferior creation is nothing when compared to my masterpiece," Natalie spoke with an arrogant attitude, looking down on Sophia. "The masterpiece I created will definitely be the most exquisite piece of jewelry that you will have ever seen. Even the accessories that you're currently wearing don't even amount to ten thousand dollars, yet you still intend to compete with me in terms of quality?""Just wait and see as the jewelry you created ends up as a joke! To think that you still have the delusion of becoming the official Chief Design Officer! What complete nonsense!"After uttering those conceited words, Natalie turned around and went back to her seat. It seemed that she deliberately came here to boast of her superiority.Sophia bit her lips lightly in frustration. Her work of painstaking effort was definit
inhumane ways
"Haha! What a joke!" Natalie exclaimed as she revealed a look of contempt. "You can't actually be thinking that your pendant will be sold at a higher price than mine, do you?"Natalie sneered as she said coldly, "Sophia, I will let you understand just how big the gap between you and me is later! I will show you just what you can achieve with money and status!""Don't you understand that I can crush you to death using money? Let me give you a heads up of what's going to happen. During the auction, I will make it so that no one present will dare to bid for your pendant and cause it to be sold at a low price! As for my work... I have plenty of money to spend on it, you see. I can afford to raise it to any price I want. But what about you? Do you have the money to do so? What can you even do to raise the price of the bid?"Natalie laughed proudly and said, "Do you understand now? How could a stupid frog that lived at the bottom of the well their entire life possibly dream to fight and com
