2026-02-21 00:18:13“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 five minutes, Liam. And during this five minutes, I want you to understand something!” Ethan scoffed, then continued. “Your company’s life is at stake.” Ava tugged at Liam’s sleeve, trying to pull his attention. “You have to do this,” she whispered urgently. “Think about the collaboration. Think about the profits. Drop your ego and apologize!” Liam ignored her, his gaze still fixed on Ethan. “You have two minutes left,” Ethan warned, his tone sharpening. “Beg me—or you lose.” The guests exchanged glances. Liam was a respected figure. Could he truly kneel before Ethan? After a long, tense silence, Liam shut his eyes. His fists clenched. Then, slowly—painfully—he dropped to his knees. A collective gasp filled the lounge. In that moment, a victorious smile spread across Ethan’s face as Liam forced the words out. “I’m sorry, Ethan Loner,” he muttered stiffly. “Forgive me, Michaela Murfers.” The irony was suffocating. This was the same man who had humiliated Ethan, sent him on degrading errands, and even played a role in sending him to jail. And now—he was kneeling. Right before him? Ethan and Michaela exchanged a brief glance. Instead of responding, Ethan simply took Michaela’s hand and walked away with her into the VIP section. They settled into their luxurious seats, surrounded by intercontinental dishes and sparkling crystal glasses. Kneeling had been easy. But standing up would be much harder. How would Liam face those who once respected him? He rose stiffly, then turned his looks on Ethan. Ethan simply turned, winked at him, and gave him a deliberate thumbs-down. “Miss Ava,” Simon said coldly, pointing toward the general guest area, “you and your family do not have access to the VIP section. Please join the other guests.” This felt like a slap across Ava’s face. So, after all the pride she took in being invited to this party, she was receiving this level of humiliation? Well, what could she do? She can only do as she was instructed. And that is to go to the guests area! When they reached the ordinary section, she froze. The same waiter she had splashed with wine earlier was now serving drinks there. Meaning she would be served by the same waiter she humiliated even after saying she can only be served by BILLIONAIRE WAITERS and waitresses! Humiliation just swallowed her like a flood! Meanwhile, Liam’s look was locked at Ethan. He remembered how Ethan once begged him for a small allowance to buy Ava a birthday gift—how he had refused. And now, Ethan was seated in the VIP section while he stood among ordinary guests. This was what he was thinking when the master of ceremonies stepped onto the stage. “Attention, everyone!” he announced into the microphone. “We have gathered tonight to announce the new CEO of Murfers Empire. Following the demise of her father, the late Mr. Dona Murfers, Michaela Murfers will now take over as the CEO of Murfers Empire! A round of applause!” Michaela set her drink down gracefully and rose to her feet. Thunderous applause filled the mansion. Ethan clapped enthusiastically. “Go on, Mich!” he cheered loudly. Several VIP guests turned to glare at him. “I’m sorry,” Ethan said with a playful smile. “Very disgusting,” one lady muttered under her breath. Ethan simply smiled back, unfazed. Of course, he wasn't ready to pick up a fight with anyone. On stage, Michaela took the microphone. “Good evening, everyone. I’m Michaela Murfers…” Ava’s cheeks flushed with complicated emotion. Her company was about to grow in ranking once the partnership with Murfers Empire was finalized. Then Michaela continued. “I would also like you all to meet someone who makes me happy. The special person in my life—my husband, Ethan Loner.” The applause that followed was laced with irony and disbelief. “Wait… Ethan is truly her husband?” Ava muttered under her breath. She didn’t know whether what she felt was jealousy or pure outrage. Just then, Ethan joined Michaela on stage and wrapped his arms around her. Ava’s fists clenched. Katherine’s feet tapped furiously against the floor. Unable to restrain herself, Katherine stepped forward. “That’s Ethan Loner—my ex-son-in-law!” she shouted. “How is it possible that he’s your husband?” The room quieted. Ethan only smiled, which made Katherine even more furious. “Yes, he is my husband. And whether he’s your ex-son-in-law is none of my concern.” Said Michaela. “How could you marry a bastard like him?” Katherine yelled. “My daughter divorced him just four hours ago and he jumped onto you! It’s not too late—you can still divorce him!” Ava tried to pull her mother back. “Mom, stop—” But Katherine refused. “My daughter fed him, sheltered him! He lived under our roof for three years. And how did he repay us? By killing my father-in-law—Charles Lugard!” Whispers rippled through the crowd. “So he’s a murderer?” someone murmured. Michaela started to speak, but Ethan gently held her back. He stepped forward slowly, eyes fixed on Katherine. “Did you just blame me for the Death of Mr Lugards ? And even labelled me as useless?” Katherine nodded. “Of course, ain't that what you are?” “No that's not what I am!” Ethan opposed. “For three years of my marriage with your daughter, I did everything in my power to please her. I never depended on her income. I endured every humiliation from you and your family without complaint. But how did she repay me?” Ethan asked, lifting his hand and pointing toward the large projector behind them. “This is how she repaid me!” Everyone looked up to the projector Ethan pointed. Even Katherine turned to take a look. And with just a glance, her handbag slipped from her fingers. The guests couldn't even stop glaring at the screen in shock. Some closed their eyes because it was disgusting to watch what was going on in the projector! Ava and Liam exchange glances with their mouths opened in surprise. Especially Ava whose lips were shaking! That was her sex video going in the Projector! The same video where she was moaning "I love it, Liam! Oh shit... Fuvk me right there in my pussy... Yeah, that spot..."

326. The Call
During one of her discussions with Rachel, Fiona learned that Darlington had installed a secret camera in the house to monitor her every move.Rachel had previously tried to convince Fiona that Darlington was innocent of the accusations against him. She had explained everything that had happened behind closed doors, including how someone had broken into her room with the intention of stealing the camera and destroying the only piece of evidence that could prove Darlington hadn't shot her.However, instead of paying attention to the points Rachel was trying to make, Fiona focused on one particular detail. She took offense at the fact that Darlington had installed a hidden camera in her house without her knowledge.She intended to use that as her main reason for ending her marriage to Darlington.After everything he had done to her, from cheating on her to getting another woman pregnant, Fiona wasn't going to let him walk away without facing the consequences. She had no intention of si
323. Not Found
As soon as Ethan jumped down from the third floor, the police officers immediately rushed to the edge and looked down at the ground floor. However, Ethan was nowhere to be seen.He was no longer standing where they expected him to land. There was no trace of him, and even the blood they had expected to find was nowhere to be seen.One of the officers turned to his superior, looking confused.“Sir, do you think he has escaped?”“There is no way he could have escaped!” his superior snapped. “I made sure I shot him in the right spot, and I saw how much blood he lost. Call for backup and rush down to the ground floor. Seal off every exit as well. I'm sure he hasn't gone far!”“Yes, sir!”The officer immediately hurried off to carry out his superior's orders.He rushed downstairs, made sure the entrances and exits were temporarily sealed off, and ordered a thorough search of the entire area. Every corner was carefully checked, but despite their efforts, they couldn't find any trace of Etha
322. Shot!
Ethan assessed the situation carefully. There were only two police officers standing at the door, and both of them were armed.If they took him to the precinct, things would undoubtedly take a bad turn. They would get a clear look at his face, and once they began investigating, they would eventually discover whose documents he had been trying to steal.If that happened, it would jeopardize their entire plan.Ethan couldn't let that happen. He had to do something, and he had to do it fast!“Raise your hands!” one of the officers shouted at the top of his lungs.Both officers began walking toward Ethan, closing the distance between them with slow, deliberate steps.“Who are you?” they demanded. “Take off your mask!”Ethan hesitated, making no move to obey.“Didn't you hear what we told you?” one of the officers barked as they finally reached him.He raised his gun and pressed its barrel against Ethan's head.“You'd better do as you're told, or you'll be shot dead!”The officer's voice
321. Don't Move!
Ethan squatted beside Raphael and pressed two fingers against his neck, checking for a pulse. He needed to know whether the man was still alive or if the punch had done more damage than he intended.A faint but steady pulse throbbed beneath his fingers. Raphael was still breathing, but the force of the punch had knocked him unconscious.Ethan scratched his head in frustration.“Such a waste!”He needed answers about the whereabouts of Darlington Wong's personal profile documents, and Raphael was the only person who could help him get his hands on them.Unfortunately, with Raphael lying unconscious on the floor, there was no telling when he would wake up. Ethan couldn't afford to stand around waiting for him to recover. He had a mission to complete, and he needed to get out of Raphael's office before something unexpected happened or someone walked in and caught him.He rose to his feet and planted his hands on his waist, pacing back and forth across the office. His mind raced as he tri
320. Where Are The Files?
Ethan's first plan was to find out whether Truly Darlington was actually impotent. If it turned out that Darlington was genuinely incapable of getting a woman pregnant, Ethan needed concrete evidence to prove it.And there was only one place he could get the information he needed.The Wong Family Hospital.Ethan didn't bother staying until the end of the reunion party with his former classmates. He had more important things to deal with than wasting his time in the company of people who were nowhere near his level.Those people weren't even worthy of standing on the same ground as him. If not for the fact that he was keeping his identity a secret, they would never have dared to organize a party without informing him, let alone fail to invite him as their Guest of Honour.But none of that mattered anymore.His priority was to find evidence that would prove Darlington was, in fact, an IMPOTENT MAN.Without wasting another second, Ethan climbed onto his scooter and headed straight for th
