where's the house you bought
"Jake? You know Jake?" Ryan's expression changed. His face was full of anger and shame."Ryan, who is Jake?" Robert asked. He sensed something was wrong with Ryan's expression.Ryan's face was full of shame and anger. He didn't know what to say.He could not just say that Jake was the general manager of Riverside Real Estate Company, could he? That would be like slapping himself in the face.Initially, he wanted to boast about his abilities, but he didn't expect that someone like Ethan would actually know that the general manager of Riverside Real Estate Company was called Jake.But then he thought about it — so what if Ethan knew?Even if he didn't exaggerate his position, he was still far better off than someone like Ethan."Jake is my boss, the person in charge of Riverside Real Estate Company," Ryan said.Helen smiled and immediately understood what was going on. She said, "Oh? So you lied when you said you were the general manager of Riverside Real Estate Company?""I didn't lie!
Ryan you're dismissed
"Ryan, forget it. Leave some face for others," Claire said proudly and glanced at Sophia. "Sophia, I think you need to change your partner.""This kind of man is a useless loser who likes to brag. Sooner or later he will embarrass you," Claire said."That's right. In my opinion, other than going out and losing face, he is good for nothing," Robert said without any mercy. He looked very pleased with himself.William and Helen had wanted to show off their daughter's abilities, but their plan had completely backfired. They just looked at Ethan with frustration in their eyes.*Ding!*At this time, an extraordinary Maserati drove over and sounded its horn. The window rolled down. A middle-aged man with an extraordinary temperament glanced at Ethan, then smiled and stepped out of the car.Ethan found the man familiar.He remembered that it was Jake.Ryan saw Jake walking out of the Maserati. He was surprised and waved his hand."Wow, Ryan, is the owner of this luxury car your friend?" Rober
New home
Ryan's face instantly turned pale when he heard Jake asking him to hand over the keys."What? Jake, what are you doing?"He didn't know why Jake had suddenly turned on him and fired him.He had lost a good job for no reason?Could it be because of Ethan, this seemingly ordinary man?Did Ethan actually have that much influence? Did Jake really need to be afraid of him?Ryan's mind was in a mess. He couldn't figure it out."Are you questioning my decision?" Jake said with a straight face. "You are just a small branch manager. I can let you go whenever I say so.""What? You don't want to hand over the car keys? Do you think that car is yours?" Jake said firmly.Ryan's face burned with shame. He took out the keys from his pocket and handed them to Jake."Oh, Robert, so your daughter's boyfriend's car wasn't actually his," Helen smiled. She looked very pleased.Robert's face turned red. He had not expected Ryan to be fired the moment he ran into his own boss.Standing right in front of Wil
second aunt
"Are you touched by him?" Helen did not take it to heart and said, "He has lived in our house for two years. He should buy us a house! Don't think that we owe him anything.""He is quite scheming. He knows that his money was earned because of you, so he came to please us. Daughter, don't think that Ethan would be so kind as to buy a house for us out of the goodness of his heart."Helen looked at Sophia and said seriously, "He is paving the way for himself. He must be worried that something will happen to him in the company. If he buys a house for us now and something happens to him in the future, you will feel obligated to help him."William thought about it and said, "Ethan is quite sensible. He is just an assistant, but he carries himself well. He does have some talent.""If he leaves Sophia, then he is nothing. He would have to go back to selling barbecue," Helen said complacently."Daughter, don't just focus on designing your work. You also have to build new connections," Helen sa
just Helen's character
"Oh! Silly girl, why did you say this in front of Ethan?" Helen was so angry that she stomped her feet. "Why are you telling him all this? He will definitely cause trouble for you.""Ethan is still counting on riding your coattails. He will not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life if he stays with you. Do you understand?""Mom, you can't keep saying things like that," Sophia said helplessly."What's wrong with saying it?" Helen said seriously. "Do you really think Ethan is your husband? He is just a decoration. Let's be honest — the two of you have no real feelings for each other. Not even one bit. Besides, who in Clearwater City's social circles doesn't know this? Ethan was just someone with no real standing. You are still a bright and capable young woman with everything ahead of you.""With your aunt and Second Aunt Margaret as connections, and with your great reputation in the jewelry industry, who would dare say anything against you?" Helen said without a
Going forward, you are absolutely not to introduce yourself as Sophia's husband
"Do you and I need to be so calculating?" Ethan said with a smile."I have been married into the Harrison Family for two years. You have suffered a lot of injustice and criticism. I should be doing these things," Ethan said."These are two unrelated things," Sophia said seriously. "It is not easy for anyone to earn money. Besides, I have never wanted to depend on anyone to survive."Ethan thought about it and said, "You are in the middle of building your career. You need money in many places. Good steel should be used on the right blade. When you make big money, it is not too late to return it to me.""It is still the same — I am one with you. The bigger your career grows, the greater my benefit as well."Sophia looked at Ethan with hesitation and said, "So the money to buy the house was your own private savings? Or did you really earn it through the company?"Ethan smiled and said, "Don't worry. It was all earned by me."Sophia said nothing more. She figured Ethan did have connection

Ethan smiled coldly and said indifferently, "It's not your place to tell me what to say.""What kind of attitude is this? Is that how you speak to your elders?" Margaret angrily rebuked. She had not expected Ethan, a man she considered beneath notice, to dare show her any disrespect."Sophia, look at this man. He still dares to talk to me like this. He has no sense of respect at all," Margaret said with extreme displeasure. "I want to properly guide you this time. If you keep someone like this by your side, sooner or later he will cause you to lose face.""Sophia doesn't need your guidance," Ethan said lightly. "You keep saying that you want to help Sophia's family. Where were you when Sophia's family was being pushed out within the Harrison Group?"Margaret was flustered and furious. She said angrily, "Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me like this?"She truly could not understand why Ethan, a man she considered worthless, dared to question her. He clearly did not know
1982 Romanee-Conti
"Hello."Sophia smiled and greeted the group on the sofa.The three of them took a seat on the leather sofas."Sophia, let me introduce everyone. This is Sebastian from the Shen family, Chloe from the Leo family, and Felix from the Queens family," Margaret introduced them with a smile. "You are all young people. You should interact more with each other in the future."Sophia faced the group and nodded with a smile.These people all came from wealthy families in Clearwater City. The Queens, Shen, and Leo families were all second-rate families on par with the Harrison Family.Although she came from the Harrison Family, she had never truly enjoyed the privileges of that background. Her father had never held real power or wealth within the Harrison Family, and she rarely found herself in situations like this."Everyone, let us welcome Sophia's arrival. Let's have a few drinks. Felix, go get two bottles from the bar — I have some set aside. Romanee-Conti, the 1982 vintage. Bring the best o
Nathan's intentions
Obviously, Nathan was the leader of this small circle. After all, his background and connections were the strongest. He was the only son of a powerful figure in the Wallace Family."Here, Sophia." Nathan's movements were practiced and elegant. He poured a small glass of wine and passed it to Sophia."Thank you," Sophia said. She politely accepted the glass but her expression was visibly uneasy. She glanced at Ethan, whose expression remained completely normal.Nathan poured another glass and looked at Ethan. He asked, "And this person? It seems I haven't been introduced to him yet.""He is Sophia's assistant director in Harrison Group. He works for Sophia," Margaret took the initiative to answer on Ethan's behalf."Oh? An assistant." Nathan seemed interested. "Since you are Sophia's assistant, let's have a drink together.""Sorry, I don't drink," Ethan said calmly."How dare you! Brother Nathan is offering you a drink as a courtesy. Don't you know how to appreciate it?" Felix spoke up
Nathan's Gifts
Felix immediately ran over and picked up several delicate handbags, placing them on the glass table.These elegant handbags and boxes were engraved with the logos of the world's top luxury brands.These were definitely items that would make some women's eyes light up.Nathan smiled with reserved confidence and looked at Sophia. He said, "Sophia, these are some small gifts I prepared. Allow me to introduce them one by one."Nathan looked at Sophia with a smile. He shook back his sleeve and began picking up the delicate gift boxes from the glass table.He also deliberately angled his wrist to show off the watch he was wearing — a famous timepiece from a prestigious Swiss series, worth well over three hundred thousand dollars."Sophia, this is a ladies' bag I particularly admire. When I bought it, I told myself I was saving it for the day I met someone truly beautiful and elegant," Nathan said graciously as he slowly opened an exquisite gift box.Inside was a classic Louis Vuitton ladies
