Chapter 51: The Business Competition
The next morning, Ethan arrived at the office before everyone else. He placed the old Lawson agreement on his desk and stared at it. The mysterious beneficiary bothered him. So did the message about Sophia's grandfather. But Ethan knew he couldn't chase every mystery at once. There was another problem in front of him. Horizon Capital.The competition between the two companies had entered a new stage.David rushed into the office. "Ethan."Ethan looked up. "What happened?""Horizon has made its move.""Where?""They've entered the market we were preparing to expand into."Ethan stood. "How?""They've offered several major suppliers contracts we can't compete with." David placed a report on the desk. "They're also offering customers discounts for switching from us."Ethan studied the numbers. "How long?""Three months.""What?""They're willing to operate at a loss for three months."Ethan's expression became serious. "Then they're not trying to make money."David nodded. "They're tryin
Chapter 52: Ethan's Brilliant Strategy
The next morning, Ethan arrived at the office with one thing on his mind. The competition. Horizon Capital had spent millions trying to push his company out of the market. They were buying competitors, stealing clients, and offering prices that normal businesses couldn't survive.But Ethan had finally understood something. Adrian wasn't trying to win every customer. He was trying to force Ethan into making a mistake. And Ethan wasn't going to give him one.David entered the office carrying several folders. "We have another problem."Ethan looked up. "What now?""Horizon has approached five of our smaller clients.""How many accepted?""Three are considering it."Ethan nodded. "Good."David stared at him. "Good?""Yes."David looked confused. "We're losing clients.""Small clients.""Clients are still clients."Ethan stood and walked toward the whiteboard. "Look at the pattern."David followed. Ethan wrote down the names of the companies Horizon had targeted. "Why these five?"David st
Chapter 53: The Mysterious Young Investor
The address on Ethan's phone kept him awake for most of the night. The old mansion. The same place from the photograph. The same place connected to Victor Ainsworth. Someone wanted him to go there. Alone.Ethan knew it could be a trap. That was exactly why he couldn't ignore it.At nine the next morning, he left his apartment. Sophia was still asleep. He didn't tell her where he was going. Before entering his car, Ethan sent one message to David.Keep an eye on everything while I'm gone. Don't follow me.David replied almost immediately. Where are you going?Ethan didn't answer.At exactly 10 a.m., Ethan arrived at the address. The mansion stood behind a tall iron gate. It looked abandoned. The garden had grown wild, and several windows were broken.Ethan stepped out of his car. He looked around carefully. No security. No pedestrians. Nothing.He pushed open the gate. It creaked loudly. Inside, the silence was unsettling. Ethan walked toward the entrance. The front door was already op
Chapter 54: Everyone Wants to Meet Him
The news spread faster than Ethan expected. Within forty-eight hours, three companies that had recently broken away from Horizon Capital contacted his company. Then came the investors. Then the business newspapers. Everyone wanted to know who was behind the sudden rise of Ethan's company.Ethan didn't like the attention. He had spent most of his life being ignored. Now, people were suddenly fighting for a meeting with him.David entered his office carrying another stack of requests. "Another six."Ethan looked up. "Six what?""Meeting requests.""From?""Investors, company directors, and two major business families."Ethan sighed. "Decline them."David stared at him. "All of them?""Unless they're directly connected to our current expansion."David smiled. "You really don't enjoy attention.""I enjoy results."By noon, the chairman called Ethan into his office. "I've been receiving calls all morning."Ethan sat down. "About the company?""About you."Ethan frowned. "Why?"The chairman
Chapter 55: Kyle Is Humiliated
Kyle Lawson stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the sleeves of his expensive black suit. Today was supposed to be his day.The Young Investors' Summit had attracted some of the biggest names in the city's business world. Investors, company owners, young entrepreneurs, and representatives of wealthy families would all be there. And Kyle intended to make sure everyone remembered the Lawson name. More importantly, he intended to remind everyone who he was. The heir of the Lawson family. Not Ethan. Never Ethan.Kyle looked at his reflection and smiled. "Ethan," he muttered. "Let's see how long your luck lasts."He picked up his phone and walked out.The Grand Meridian Hotel was already crowded when Kyle arrived. Luxury cars filled the entrance. Security guards stood everywhere. Businessmen in expensive suits walked through the doors while reporters waited outside.Kyle stepped out of his car confidently. Several people immediately recognized him. "Isn't that Kyle Lawson?""Yes. The La
Chapter 56: A Hidden Photograph
Lawson mansion had never felt so quiet.Kyle sat alone in his room, staring at his phone.The message from the unknown caller was still on his screen.“You have no idea who Ethan really is.”Kyle had read those words so many times that they had begun to annoy him.He hated mysteries.More importantly, he hated mysteries involving Ethan.For years, Ethan had been nothing to him. A useless son-in-law who could barely afford decent clothes. A man who stayed silent whenever people insulted him. Someone Sophia had married because her family had forced her into the marriage.But things had changed.Ethan was no longer the same man.He had money now.He had connections.People at the company respected him.Even powerful businessmen had started looking for him.And the worst part was that nobody knew exactly how he had achieved all of it.Kyle clenched his fist.“I won't let him rise above me.”He threw the phone onto the bed.Just then, there was a knock on his door.“Come in.”The door ope
Chapter 57: Questions About Ethan's Past
Ethan barely slept that night. The old photograph lay on the table in front of him. He had placed it there before going to bed, hoping that staring at it would somehow make the missing pieces fall into place. It didn't. Instead, it created even more questions.His father. The strange young man beside him. The golden ring. The word Ainsworth. And the warning written on the back.Ethan leaned forward and studied the photograph again. There had to be a reason his father was connected to the Ainsworth name. But why had his father never told him?His phone suddenly rang. Ethan looked at the screen. It was Sophia. For several seconds, he considered ignoring the call. But he answered. "Hello?""Where are you?"Sophia's voice sounded tired."At home."There was a short silence. "I need to talk to you.""About what?""About you."Ethan frowned. "What about me?""I've been thinking about something.""What?"Sophia hesitated. "Your past."Ethan's expression changed. He sat up straight. "What abo
Chapter 58: The Missing Father
Ethan stood outside Mr. Harris's house, staring at the envelope in his hand. The words written by his father were still fresh in his mind. If Ethan ever comes looking for me, tell him not to trust anyone carrying the Ainsworth name.He had read the sentence several times, but it still made no sense. Why would his father leave a warning like that? And why had he disappeared without saying goodbye?For years, Ethan had believed his father was simply gone. He had heard different stories from different people. Some said his father had left because of financial problems. Others said he had gotten involved with dangerous people. But now Ethan knew there was more to it. His father had been hiding something. And whatever it was, it had been important enough for him to disappear.Ethan folded the note carefully and placed it back inside the envelope. Then he looked toward the road. The two men who had been watching him were no longer visible. But Ethan knew they were somewhere nearby. He could
Chapter 59: The Golden Ring
Ethan barely slept that night. The call from the unknown man kept playing in his mind. Stop looking for your father. Those words should have frightened him. Instead, they made him more determined. Someone was clearly afraid of what Ethan might discover.Early the next morning, Ethan sat alone in his apartment, staring at the old watch Samuel had given him. It belonged to his father. He turned it over several times. There was nothing unusual about it. At least, that was what he thought.Then he noticed something. A tiny mark was engraved beneath the watch. It looked like a circle with a strange symbol inside it. Ethan frowned. He had never seen it before. He took a picture of it with his phone and sent it to Samuel.A few seconds later, Samuel called. "Where did you get that?""My father's watch."Samuel's voice became serious. "Ethan, listen to me carefully.""What is it?""That mark was on your father's belongings.""What does it mean?""I don't know exactly.""You've seen it before.
Chapter 60: Someone Is Watching Ethan
Ethan left the old railway station with the black card still in his pocket. The message from the unknown caller kept replaying in his mind. If you find the ring, you will find the truth. But where was the ring? And who had hidden it?Ethan drove back toward the city, but something felt different. He checked his rearview mirror. A black SUV was several cars behind him. He changed lanes. The SUV changed lanes too. Ethan turned onto a smaller road. The SUV followed.His eyes narrowed. Someone was watching him.He didn't panic. Instead, he continued driving normally until he reached a busy intersection. When the traffic light turned red, Ethan suddenly turned into a narrow side street. The SUV tried to follow. But a delivery truck blocked its path. Ethan continued forward and disappeared into another street.He stopped a few minutes later and looked behind him. The SUV was gone. But Ethan knew it hadn't been a coincidence. Someone had been following him.He reached into his pocket and tou
