CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FORTY-TWO The moment Ethan walked into the ward, Maria forced herself up from the chair, walking up to her brother with wide eyes. “Where have you been, Ethan?!” She frowned, her eyes burning with annoyance.“Father has been asking about you,” She added, staring Ethan in the eyes. “That was when she eventually saw the weakness in his eyes, indicating that he was exhausted. “Is everything alright?” She asked, but Ethan didn't respond. He walked to the bed where Michael was and sighed heavily, staring at the recovering man. “How is he?” he asked the moment Maria inched closer, his eyes still fixed on his father. “He is totally fine now, Ethan,” Maria responded cheerfully, and then she chuckled softly, grabbing her brother’s arm with both hands. “Thank you so much, Ethan! Without you, this wouldn’t have been possible!” She laughed joyfully, unable to hide her relief. Ethan turned to look at her face, and then he sighed heavily, a smile spreading all over his

“How long is it going to take you to find your bank app and make the damn transfer?!” Ethan asked with a vibrating tone, sending more shivers down Reese’s spine.“I am trying!” Reese said with a shaky voice, staring from one part of the screen to the other as though he had never seen it before.“I can’t find it!” He said, his tone low and cracked. Ethan scoffed, and then he grabbed the phone from him with a rough snatch. “Let me help you.” He said calmly, and with just a few scrolls and swipes, he found what had been staring Reese in the eyes for a while, and it was either that he pretended not to see the colorful icon, or he was too flustered to pay attention. Ethan proceeded to click on the icon, and then he lifted his face to his uncle, holding onto his wry smile.“What’s the code?” He asked impatiently, glaring at the middle-aged man. Reese swallowed hard, showing reluctance to speak. “The code, Uncle!” Ethan sparked, his eyes burning with annoyance. “Three…” Reese paused, f

Watching from where he was standing, Reese was frozen in shock, his eyes turning from one man to the other.But he seemed more concerned about the old man, his eyes spreading like they were about to run out of their sockets.“He is not going to survive it.” He muttered frantically, seeing the blood that gushed out from his mouth. “Ethan is as fierce as his father.” He observed, his voice low and trembling. The thought of helping the old man crept into his mind, but he was very quick to shake it off, not certain if he was going to be able to survive the consequences of drawing Ethan’s fury toward himself. He already knew that he was going to suffer greatly after that moment, his hands trembling almost as fast as his pounding heartbeat. Ethan eventually stopped striking the old man, leaving him weakened with blood all over his face. Smith gasped, panted, and gagged his vital fluid, his hands quivering as he struggled to catch his breath.“I need water?!” He wheezed, turning to Rees

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND THIRTY-NINE Slowly, Smith reached for his pocket, and this time, he took out the key to the door, extending his hand toward the keyhole. Before he could get to twist, Reese had turned to look at Ethan, but the moment their eyes met, he looked away, still gripped by the cringe that simmered through his nerves. Eventually, Smith unlocked the door after what almost seemed like an eternity, pushing the door inside and turning to Ethan with a deadpan expression. “The door is unlocked.” He explained, standing still and seeming like he was waiting for him to give him a response.Ethan remained silent for a while, and then he took a deep breath, turning to Reese and seeming like he was going to ignore the old man. “Tell him to go in there and bring the rest of my money, Uncle Reese.” “Me?” Reese pointed to himself, staring at Ethan with wide eyes. When he realized that Ethan was not going to say even a single word to him, he eventually turned to Smith, but instead o

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND THIRTY-EIGHT After a glance at the old man, Ethan turned to Reese, glaring at him in disdain.“I will come to you later,” He snorted, causing Reese to stagger backward. “Where is the rest of my money?” Ethan demanded from the old man, his glowing eyes evidence of the rage that was rippling through his nerves. Smith wanted to ignore the sensation that gripped him, but it was too intense for him to overlook.Without knowing it, he was already staggering backward, his breath seeming like it no longer belonged to him. “The money no longer belongs to you, Ethan! It is mine now!” He retorted, his voice reeking of arrogance and desperation, his eyes sparking with disdain. “I suggest you go back to wherever you are coming from before you make me angrier than I am.” The old man added, leaving Reese dumbfounded. However, when Reese turned to look at Ethan, he saw nothing that looked like anger or annoyance. Instead, the young CEO looked completely calm, and the wry sm

Reese couldn’t get himself to say even a word. He nervously bent his face to the table, refusing to lift it no matter the pressure. Smith was still insistent on getting a response from him, turning to face him with a glare.“How could you bring him to this place, Reese? You have betrayed me!” He clenched his fist tightly, but he did not want to be told that the young man was going to defeat him effortlessly in a fair fight. “I am here on my own accord, Smith.” Ethan finally broke his silence, slowing his steps while he held onto his wry smile. This unplanned occurrence had left Jake wondering what was going on, and sensing the increasing tension in the air, he was forced to rise from the chair, turning to the old man who was the only one he knew among the three men. “What the hell is going on, Smith? Who is this man?” He pointed to Ethan while his eyes were still on the old man, demanding an immediate response. “Don’t worry, my friend.” Smith took a deep breath while he moved hi
