"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

"Ethan, don't act recklessly. I am Miss Wang of the Wallace Family. If you dare to be disrespectful to me, I will have you thrown into the river tomorrow!"Victoria gritted her teeth and tried to sound authoritative, but her voice came out soft and unconvincing.Ethan didn't appear to hear her and had already walked over to stand in front of her.Victoria suddenly lowered her head and turned her face away. She couldn't bring herself to look at him directly.Ethan reached out and pressed his finger lightly beneath Victoria's chin, gently raising her head."I just want you to understand that there is nothing you can do to me," Ethan said calmly.Victoria's face turned as red as an apple. Ethan's gesture and his words were far too direct. He had gone too far.Her cheeks puffed up and she felt deeply wronged. She glared at him furiously. She was so irritated she could barely contain herself. When had anyone ever dared to be so bold with Miss Wang of the Wallace Family?Never mind touching
I'm not lying
“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
This house is too small for someone as ‘important’ as you.
“I was offered the position of vice president at a collectibles company, with an annual salary of one million dollars. But I turned it down,” Ethan Ford said truthfully.“Oh, please. The lies just keep getting bigger!” Helen burst out laughing in disbelief. “You? And Miss Wang from the Wallace Family personally approached you with a vice president offer worth a million a year? And you actually refused?”“Don’t treat us like fools, Ethan,” William Harrison said sternly. “Would someone like Victoria Wang really show up in person just to offer a vice president position with that kind of salary? Your story doesn’t add up.”“Do you think your mother-in-law and I are idiots?” William continued angrily. “I may not be wealthy, but I’m still part of the Harrison Family. I’ve seen enough of the world to know better.”“You’ve just offended Nathan, the only son of the Wallace Family’s fourth branch. And now you expect us to believe that Victoria Wang personally invited you to be vice president of

"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

“You don’t need to come out to receive me,” Ethan said calmly.“Understood. I’ll follow your instructions, Director Ford,” Jake replied respectfully.Snow Dragon Villa, the most prestigious residential estate in Clearwater City, was known as the gathering place of the elite. Those who lived there were either the city’s highest-ranking officials or its wealthiest tycoons. The price alone was staggering, with each villa starting at over one hundred million yuan.Although Jake didn’t fully understand Ethan’s background, he had no doubts about his financial strength. Riverside Real Estate Company held a stake in Snow Dragon Villa, which meant Jake had the authority to arrange a top-tier villa for Ethan immediately.Of course, doing so would come at a heavy cost, requiring the use of valuable resources and connections.Still, Jake was eager to build a relationship with someone as powerful as Ethan, especially since he needed a favor. He was willing to pay any price for that opportunity.“E

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

The next morning…Ethan left Snow Dragon Villa and hailed a taxi by the roadside, heading to Prestige Tower for work as usual.Twenty minutes later, Ethan arrived at Prestige Tower.Marcus had already parked the brown BMW by the roadside and was waiting.“Director, you’re here. Sophia has already gone upstairs to work,” Marcus said as he stepped forward and opened the car door.Ethan got into the back seat.“Director, why didn’t you come with Sophia today? I noticed she didn’t look too well,” Marcus added.Ethan replied seriously, “For the time being, I won’t be going to work with her. You need to be extra careful about her safety. If anything happens that you can’t handle, inform me immediately.”“Understood! I’ll make sure she’s safe,” Marcus said firmly.Ethan nodded slightly. With him not around, Marcus would be the first line of defense. Ordinary troublemakers wouldn’t stand a chance against him.“By the way, Director, I heard some rumors from the staff at the entrance this morni

“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

"A lawyer's letter?" Ethan was curious. He picked up the document from the table and read through it.It was a lawyer's letter signed by the Wallace law firm. It claimed that Ethan had damaged an expensive antique worth sixty million dollars belonging to their client, Nathan — a pair of porcelain bottles attributed to Ming Dynasty imperial craftsmen. They were suing Ethan for sixty million dollars in damages, ten million for emotional distress, ten million for reputational damage, and ten million in legal fees.The total compensation demanded was one hundred million dollars.The wording throughout was highly formal and official.In addition to the lawyer's letter, the stack of documents also included certificates of authenticity signed by Clearwater City's antique collector association, the appraisal association, and several prominent expert collectors.Ethan wanted to laugh but settled for shaking his head.Nathan had gone to extraordinary lengths. He had spent thirty million on a fa
