Excuse Me, Sir! I Am Not Useless

Having remembered this, Ethan was angered to the core. He had never forgotten the promise he made to his parents all those years ago. Ten years after his father’s death, fate brought that same family back into his life through Mr. LeVert— his Grandpa's personal Aid. LeVert had contacted him a week ago and delivered the message plainly: “Your Grandfather wants you to return back to the family and become the CEO of GRC!” Ethan did not hesitate. Instead of rejecting the offer as everyone expected, he accepted it. This was because he knew his wedding anniversary was fast approaching. He had already made up his mind that he would transfer the entire property to his wife— Ava, as an anniversary gift. While Ethan remembered all these, LeVert tried to lay out his point, but before he could say anything else, Ethan cut him off. “When I agreed to return to GRC, I did it for one reason!. It's not because I wanted Mr Wong's appreciation but because I want Ava to take over

Ethan was taken straight to the precinct.When they arrived, he signed the necessary documents without protest and allowed the officers to lead him to the cell where he would remain until his case was reopened.Of course, Ethan did not panic.He was rich—powerful enough to make a single phone call and walk out of there before sunset if he wished. His grandfather alone could shake the entire police force the moment he heard that his grandson had been arrested for a crime he did not commit.But Ethan chose to stay quiet.He knew it would not be long before he was released. Lying low was wiser than causing a scene.He had barely settled behind the cold iron bars when a sharp female voice cut through the station.“I need to see a man called Stephen King! He is in this precinct, and I heard he was arrested.”Ethan lifted his head.From where he stood, he caught sight of her.The lady was so beautiful, tall and heavily authorized. Even from a distance, there was something commanding abou

“I will take your words lightly, Ethan, but I don’t think it’s right for you to make stupid threats,” Liam said, an ironic smile tugging at the corner of his lips.Ethan shoved Liam’s hand off his shirt and let out a low chuckle. “I haven’t even started, and you’re already scared. You’ve all been underestimating me for a long time without knowing what my true colors look like.”“We don’t need to know your true colors,” Katherine cut in sharply. “We’ve seen enough. You’re nothing but a dumb and useless thing. Nobody in this family wants you, so get yourself out of our lives, okay?”She turned to Liam with a proud smile. “Liam has helped Ava so much. We’re launching our deal with Murfers Empire all because of him. Do you really think we’ll regret divorcing you when we never benefited anything from you? The only things you brought into this family were disgrace and humiliation. So tell me, why would we ever regret what happened that day?”Ethan’s face hardened, every trace of amusement g

Michaela drove straight to the Court of Law, where the necessary petitions were signed and her marriage with Ethan was officially registered. Within a short time, they were handed a marriage certificate and declared husband and wife.The moment they stepped outside, Michaela walked ahead to the car. While waiting for Ethan, her mind drifted to the phone call she had received from Stephen King earlier that day. After she had mistaken Ethan to be Stephen, she later received a message from Stephen that he was out of prison. He had bluntly informed her that he was no longer interested in going through with the court marriage.She had no time to waste.She needed a replacement immediately because the longer she delayed, the worse it would get for her in the future. That was when Ethan came to mind.Her stomach had been aching terribly earlier, but after taking the pills Ethan gave her, the pain disappeared within five minutes. That alone convinced her that he was capable of this ‘pro

“You think I’ll bow for you?” Liam scoffed. “You must be mistaken if you believe a man like me would go on his knees and beg you for mercy. Neither you nor Michaela will ever hear a sorry from me!”Anger pulsed through him, but neither Michaela nor Ethan looked disturbed.Instead, Ethan smiled.“One should only be proud when they have nothing to lose,” Ethan said calmly. “In your case, forty percent of your resources come from Murfers Empire. Thirty percent of your net profit flows from this same empire. Imagine what you’ll lose—how much you’ll lose—at the snap of her fingers.”He took a step closer, lowering his voice.“To save your reputation, let go of your pride and kneel before me, Liam Paige.”Liam’s fists tightened so hard. His legs began to shake even though he tried to hide it. He knew Ethan was right. Even if Ethan couldn’t personally carry out those threats, Michaela absolutely could.Either way, he would be the one to suffer.“You have five minutes to apologize. Just fi
