“You're fired!" Ethan froze on the spot. “What?" He blinked in disbelief. “You heard me. Now, get out!" His boss, Wendy, barked in rage. Her polished finger pointed at the door, with dark eyes, her face filled with anger. The noise echoed so loudly across the office that those outside paused to see what was going on. Although no one dared step in, they all stopped to watch. Ethan frowned, "I was only trying to help. I saw that——”A resounding slap echoed loudly over the office that shut his mouth. Ethan's head snapped to the side. His eyes grew wide as his body stiffened. " You bloody liar," Wendy hissed, “You tried to force yourself on me. You have no shame, you mannerless bastard!” Ethan's brain froze for a few seconds. He couldn't believe what he just heard. He dared not. He would never do such a thing. Just a few minutes ago, he stepped into his boss's office to submit some documents. On getting there, he saw his boss, Wendy, struggling with a drunk business partner who w

“You are fired!" The furious scream of Wendy filled the whole office. Ethan's eyes snapped open as he stared at everyone in confusion. His boss, Wendy, pointed at the door with those well-polished nails, eyes filled with disgust and rage. Then, there were the employees who stood outside with venomous judgment on their lips. This…He stared at the familiar scene, then looked down at himself. He wasn't dead. He's back on time. How? "Get out!” Wendy's voice exploded through the office again. He stilled. He was back.Back to the day everything began.The day Wendy ruined his reputation by lying against him. The day Lucy stole his future, and he couldn't save his sister. The day he died like a stray dog on the side of the road.A cold fury surged through Ethan, his nails dug into his palms.All his life, he had tried to be decent. Where had it gotten him?Betrayed.Humiliated.Buried.Not this time.Never again.His eyes darkened. Ethan opened his mouth to speak, but a mechanic's

Ethan smiled. Indeed, his fighting skill has improved. [Ding!][Mission Evaluation Complete.]The familiar mechanical voice echoed in his mind.[Targets Lucas Evans and Lucy Harper have experienced extreme emotional instability and have been driven out.][Calculating rewards...]Ethan frowned. [Reward Granted.][Congratulations, Host. You have obtained ownership of Imperial Tower.] “What?" The system screen appeared before him. PROPERTY: Imperial Tower STATUS: Fully Owned By Host ANNUAL REVENUE: $180,000,000 CURRENT TENANTS: 87 Companies A few seconds passed. Then Ethan let out a doubtful dry laugh. Imperial Tower was the largest commercial building in the city. How can it belong to him? Before he could fully process what was going on, his phone rang. He pulled out the phone from his pocket. It was an unknown number. He answered the call. “Hello." "Good afternoon, Mr Ethan Maxwell.” The caller greeted with utmost respect, “This is Mr. Henry Donald, the manager of Impe

Vanessa stepped into the office and froze when she saw Ethan seeing behind the desk. "E—Ethan?” Her eyes grew wide in shock. "Miss Vanessa, meet the new owner of Imperial Tower, Mr. Ethan.” Henry announced. Vanessa gasps in shock. Her eyes remained on Ethan, who stared back at her with amusement. The man who had helped her outside… was actually the new owner of Imperial Tower. She suddenly recalled everything she had said outside. Her face burned with embarrassment. She had even offered him her business card. With the way he was dressed so casually, no one would have guessed. Finally, she forced herself to move forward and bowed, “Chairman Ethan, I… I didn't know—" “It's alright." Ethan waved it off with a smile. “I know the situation you're facing in your company. I am willing to allow you to stay until you are able to pay." “What?!" The yell came from both angles. Henry and Vanessa. They couldn't believe that Ethan was actually doing that without

The operating room was still closed. Nurses weren't moving about as he expected. He walked over to one of the nurses, “Excuse me, my sister, Jenna Maxwell, she's supposed to be in the ICU.”The nurse frowned. " ICU?” She asked. " Why?” Ethan frowned, wondering what she meant by why. The nurse explained,"The surgery hasn't been scheduled yet." Ethan's eyes darkened. “What do you mean the surgery hasn't been scheduled yet??" His voice is deep and dangerous. “I'm sorry, sir. But we haven't received any instructions to resume her treatment as payment hasn't been received yet." Ethan's mind went blank.He had clearly sent the forty thousand dollars more than five hours ago. What do they mean by the payment wasn't received? The nurse looked at him apologetically, “I'm sorry, sir." Ethan remained frozen on the spot, wondering if he had made a mistake. If all of these were a trick. " This is impossible." His voice suddenly went cold. “I sent the money myself.” He has clearly sen
