It didn’t even take a full minute after the man had delivered the news about the new models. Darlington and Shirley immediately stood up and walked out with him, leaving the area deserted.

The moment they disappeared from sight, Ethan summoned his courage. He sprang forward, slipping quickly into the interior and landing exactly where Darlington and Shirley had been standing moments earlier.

He moved slowly and silently, scanning the space around him.

There was nothing.

No chairs. No cabinets.

  • 112. A Deal?

    Immediately after Ethan said that, the entire hall exploded into laughter.No one could hold it back after hearing the way he calmly asked them to provide an account number, as though transferring millions was the simplest thing in the world.Seriously?The laughter spread from one guest to another, filling the atmosphere with mockery and ridicule. Only Michaela remained silent. Unlike the others, she wasn’t amused. Instead, anger and frustration burned inside her as she watched Ethan being HUMILIATED before everyone.Deep down, she clenched her fists.I knew it… I knew this was exactly what would happen. That’s why I never wanted you to come to this party in the first place. And now look at what has happened!Her thoughts were still spiraling when Joshua suddenly stopped laughing. His face darkened as he glared at Ethan with undisguised fury.“Can you even hear yourself right now, Ethan Loner?” he barked. “Are you really this stupid?”He took a threatening step forward.“Do you think

  • 111. Account Details?

    Ethan gave a slow smile. So, this was what the old man wanted, huh?Everyone present was shocked.None of them had expected such words from Thai Wong. In their eyes, Thai Wong was a fair and respectable man who only handed out cruel punishments to those who truly deserved them. And since he had decided to punish Ethan this way, they believed Ethan must have crossed the line badly enough to provoke the patriarch of the Wong family.Some of the guests began whispering among themselves.“Mr. Wong Snr is already being merciful by giving him such an easy option. Either he pays for the dress or licks the drink off the stain. We all know what he’s going to choose, right?”“Of course we do!" Another person nodded with a mocking smile.. "He’ll definitely accept the second condition and lick the drink off Mr. Wong’s clothes. Where would a useless man like him get sixty million dollars to pay for that outfit?”That was exactly what everyone believed. To them, Ethan had no other choice but to pi

  • 110. Make A Choice

    "Father, are you okay?”Darlington’s voice abruptly pulled Thai Wong out of his thoughts.Slowly turning toward him, Thai Wong wiped away every trace of shock from his face. In its place, a look of anger gradually appeared.“Who is this young man? And how did he get into this house?”Darlington immediately turned toward Ethan, and the anger inside him intensified.This animal is here to cause me more trouble again, isn’t he? Darlington cursed inwardly before facing his father once more.“Father, that’s Ethan,” he explained quickly. “He is my personal janitor. He is—”“But aren’t janitors supposed to have proper manners?” Thai Wong interrupted coldly. “Where did you find such an ignorant person? Why would he spill his drink on me? And on top of that, there isn’t even a trace of remorse on his face.”The entire hall fell silent.Darlington instantly grabbed Ethan by the collar and glared fiercely at him.“I saw everything that happened, and I also know how disrespectful you were to my f

  • 109. The Connection

    That question came as a huge surprise to Ethan.But at the same time, the person who was even more shocked was Thai Wong himself.Seeing Ethan standing there and speaking to him in such a manner was the very last thing he had expected from anyone.After all, Thai Wong came from an extremely prestigious family. He was not only one of the richest men in the country, but also a man of enormous influence. His name alone carried weight wherever it was mentioned.The moment he arrived in the country, his return caused a massive sensation. The entire mansion had been filled with important figures and influential guests who had come solely to welcome him back.Just him.Because of his status, Thai Wong expected everyone around him to lower their heads and behave with utmost respect. In his mind, they were supposed to WORSHIP him and treat him like a KING.And so far, everyone had done exactly that.Everyone except Ethan.Ethan's tone had been sharp, fearless, and disrespectful. It instantly l

  • 108. Long Time, No See!

    Seeing his grandfather standing right in front of him, Ethan froze in shock.His fingers still pressed against his stinging cheek as he slowly lifted his gaze to look at Thai Wong. For a brief moment, everything around him faded, and the present blurred into the past.Then, like a cruel echo, the memories came rushing back—“Your shameless mother was busy having sex with another man, and you are here asking me to save your father? Do you really think I give a damn about your dying father? If your father wants to die, then he should go ahead and die. I don’t care!”Those words.They had been spat at him without hesitation, without mercy.Ethan could still remember that day so clearly—how he and his mother had stood there, desperate and broken, begging for help. Begging for a chance to save his father’s life. But Thai Wong had refused. Coldly. Firmly. Without a single trace of sympathy.It wasn’t as if he couldn’t afford it.No.Back then, Thai Wong had the money. More than enough. In f

  • 107. Thai Wong!

    The second man froze when he heard Ethan speak like that. In this mansion, he was used to people lowering their heads, used to hearing the word boss fall from their lips without hesitation. To him, it was natural. He stood above them, and they stood beneath him. That was how things had always been.His name was Toby. The small tag clipped neatly to his uniform said it clearly, and Ethan had already taken note of it the moment he walked in.Now, seeing the way Ethan addressed him, Toby felt a sharp sting of anger rise in his chest. His jaw tightened. Who did this man think he was?In Toby’s eyes, Ethan was nothing—just another worker, another face in the crowd. Everyone else in the mansion knew their place. They showed respect. They spoke carefully. They understood who deserved authority.So why wasn’t Ethan doing the same?Toby slowly lifted his head as his eyes locked onto Ethan.“Who the hell do you think you are to challenge me like that?”Ethan remained silent.That silence only
