Chapter 196: George try to be kind
At first, George assumed the man was some kind of attacker—an assassin or thief—which explained why he had backed away in panic and huddled in a corner. But once he took a closer look and realized the man appeared calm, polite, and respectful—falling to his knees and begging for money rather than posing any threat—he relaxed.After confirming there was no immediate danger, George slowly approached him.He looked the young man up and down before speaking. “Hey, what brings you here asking us for money like this?”Ethan was also baffled. It was beyond strange that someone had shown up out of nowhere on the yacht asking for cash.The young man answered sincerely, “I spotted your yacht from the riverside, and through a pair of binoculars, I saw you all dining. I figured you must be wealthy people. To someone like you, $20,000 might be no more than the cost of dinner.”“So I jumped into the river and climbed aboard, hoping to ask for help.”He reached into his soaked clothes and pulled out
Chapter 195: George! You hypocrite
Clara had previously mentioned to Ethan that her younger sister, Elena, had a more lively and spirited personality than she did.In truth, Clara herself used to be cheerful and full of life. But everything changed when her family was hit with a crisis. Forced to drop out of school early, she stepped into the business world before her time. On top of that, becoming the mistress of her father’s old friend hardened her, gradually transforming her into the composed, more reserved woman she was now.Elena, on the other hand, had been spared from all of that. From the moment Clara made the difficult decision to be with George, it guaranteed Elena a future of ease and comfort.Clara had sacrificed herself to secure a carefree life for her sister.Since their parents passed away, Elena had grown very dependent on Clara, and their bond became especially strong.Clara gently scolded her, “Elena, that’s no way to talk to your future brother-in-law.”Then she turned to Ethan with a soft smile. “D
Chapter 194: Stanford
Cayden scoffed with clear disdain. “Handsome? Seriously? That guy? Come on—he’s already way past his prime. And even when he was younger, he wasn’t exactly a looker.”To Cayden, George’s appearance was nothing special. In fact, he thought he was being generous by not calling the man flat-out unattractive. He couldn’t wrap his head around why Maya seemed so impressed.Maya, however, rolled her eyes and shot back, “You clearly don’t get it. A man’s charm isn’t just about his face. It’s also about presence, composure, and how he carries himself. Just look at Uncle George—he exudes confidence, and the way he takes command of the conversation at the dining table? That’s charisma.”Earlier, Maya hadn’t thought much of George beyond being an older man with wealth. But after Cayden pointed out who he was, she started to notice the commanding aura he projected—and found it strangely magnetic.It wasn’t unusual—many women were drawn to men of power and influence, even if they weren’t convention
Chapter 193: People in the yacht
George’s cold attitude toward Ethan didn’t sit well with Clara at all.In her memory, George had always been refined and composed—not someone to act petty or rude. She couldn’t help but wonder if his behavior now stemmed from feeling inferior to Ethan.Clara spoke up, her tone calm but firm. “Mr. Langston, my boyfriend truly appreciates everything you’ve done for me. He knows your status and influence well. That’s exactly why he went to such great lengths to arrange tonight’s dinner on the most luxurious yacht in the world—so he could host you in a way that’s worthy of your position and express his gratitude properly.”“But the way you’re behaving right now doesn’t reflect the grace and class expected from the president of a publicly listed company. Shouldn’t someone in your position be more composed and courteous?”George’s expression darkened as he turned to Ethan, his voice laced with resentment.“Ethan Sinclair… if you’re so resourceful—if you really have the connections to rent t
Chapter 192: Envy Maya
George had always been a cunning, calculating businessman—hardened by years of experience in high society. To him, dealing with someone like Ethan should’ve been effortless.What Clara didn’t know was that after she left George, unable to endure the loneliness, he had taken a pretty college student as his mistress.At the time, the young woman had a boyfriend. But George, ever the manipulator, invited the young man out for a private talk.With just a few sharp words, George had the poor guy—who came from an ordinary background—reduced to tears. The boy ended up walking away from the relationship on his own.So, George had assumed Ethan would crack just as easily—buckling under pressure and retreating from Clara’s life.But things weren’t going according to plan at all.Instead, Clara was radiating joy. When she reached the pool with Ethan, she practically lit up with excitement.“Wow! The design is stunning! The water’s the same shade as the sea—it looks amazing, like a visual masterp
Chapter 191: This isn’t how things were supposed to go
Out of nowhere, an ultra-luxurious green yacht appeared on the Huston River!Towering at around 110 meters, the vessel’s sleek, futuristic design looked more like a high-tech spaceship than a traditional yacht—it completely shattered the crowd’s expectations of what a cruise ship could look like.Tourists gathered on both sides of the river were left in awe, eyes wide with disbelief and fascination.“Oh my God! What is that?! Is it a spaceship? A UFO? It looks like something from a sci-fi movie!”“That can’t be real. It has to be a hologram or a mirage—no way a yacht like that actually exists!”“Wait! Isn’t that the world’s first hydrogen-powered yacht—Aqua?”“Aqua? Yeah, I’ve heard of it! That’s the one owned by Bill Gates, right? He supposedly spent nearly a billion dollars building it! Insane!”“Wasn’t it scheduled for launch two years from now? Has it already hit the water? Don’t tell me Bill Gates is the one who booked out the Huston River today!”The crowd went wild. Dozens of p
