"What did you say?"Victoria widened her eyes and stared at Ethan as though she couldn't believe her ears. There was actually a man who dared to say that she, the brilliant and beautiful Miss Wang of the Wallace Family, was not worthy of being his friend?"Outrageous! Ethan, you're asking for trouble! What is Miss Wang's standing? She has shown you enormous face. How dare you say she is not worthy to be friends with you?" Harold said furiously.In his view, not only should Ethan have been grateful that Victoria was willing to speak with him at all — he should have been deeply respectful. Yet he had dared to be this arrogant."Ethan, I think there is something wrong with you," Victoria's face flushed with embarrassment and anger. She snorted coldly and pressed her lips together tightly."You two — bring him under control. I want to teach him a proper lesson," Victoria said coldly.*Bang!*The two men in black who had been guarding the door burst in immediately.Both pistols were levell

“Mom, what’s wrong?” Sophia stood up and walked over, looking at Ethan in confusion.“Daughter, can’t you tell?” Helen stomped her feet in anger. “Ethan actually dared to find a woman outside! Do you think he’s that bold?”“You eat our family’s food and live in our house. You even rely on our daughter to make money, yet you’re still so heartless. You don’t even have the ability to earn money yourself. Instead, you’ve learned from those unruly people and gone out to find a lover. I’m furious!” Helen said, insisting that Ethan had been seeing another woman.Sophia’s expression darkened slightly. She asked hesitantly, “Mom, don’t jump to conclusions. Ethan wouldn’t do something like that… right?”“Do you think I would wrongly accuse him?” Helen snorted coldly. The more she looked at Ethan, the more displeased she became. “Daughter, go and smell the perfume on him. It’s so obvious—you can smell it from far away. And it’s not cheap either. This isn’t some low-quality fragrance. It’s clear

"Mom, this is too much..." Sophia's expression was ugly. She helped Ethan say something. "This house was bought by Ethan with his own money. Did you forget?""What do you mean Ethan bought it?" Helen snapped. "Didn't I tell you earlier? If you hadn't helped him become an assistant director, why would he ever buy a house? He'd still be setting up a stall by the roadside!"Helen did not think much of it and coldly snorted. "Besides, isn't your name on the property ownership certificate?""No, Mom. No matter what, Ethan transferred it to me. He spent the money." Sophia was very embarrassed to say that. She felt that her mother had indeed gone overboard in this matter.Helen was not thinking about this at all. She felt that Ethan buying a house to show respect to them was exactly what he should do."I already said that this is what Ethan should do after two years!" Helen said righteously. "Besides, what is a house worth two million dollars? Don't you see that Nathan's gift is a luxury ite

Half an hour later…Inside a luxurious villa at the center of Snow Dragon Villa, Ethan stood on the third-floor balcony with his hands clasped behind his back. His gaze stretched across the surging waters of the Clearwater River. Beyond it lay the bustling heart of Clearwater City, where towering skyscrapers shimmered under dazzling lights.The view was nothing short of extraordinary. From this height, he had a complete panoramic view of the entire city.Ethan was quite satisfied with the villa.Spanning over a thousand square meters, it featured a vast backyard, a swimming pool, and a spacious garage. Inside, a grand living room dominated the interior, while more than ten bedrooms lined the corridors. Together with the sweeping staircases, the entire structure exuded an imposing and majestic presence.The décor followed a refined antique style, furnished with a full set of classical hardwood furniture, paired seamlessly with pieces from the world’s top luxury brands. It was the very

“Indeed, Miss Wang, Ethan is far from the ordinary man he appears to be,” No.7 said with conviction. “Yesterday, you asked us to keep a discreet eye on Ethan. I found that after being thrown out of his home last night, he went to Snow Dragon Villa with a man named Jake. However, the villa’s security is extremely tight, with surveillance everywhere, so we couldn’t risk attracting attention. Because of that, I’m not sure what Ethan was doing there.”“I looked into Jake afterward,” No.6 added. “He’s the general manager of a real estate firm in North City and seems to have some financial influence.”Victoria waved her hand dismissively. “What does it matter that this unfortunate man went to Snow Dragon Villa? It’s obvious. After being kicked out last night, he was pressured again by the Harrison elders. He’s clearly afraid of Nathan. That’s why he’s reaching out to friends for help. But I doubt his friend Jake has much influence—he’s just a small company manager and probably too timid to
