CHAPTER 59
Marcus's face contorted with rage as he watched his two trained bodyguards struggling to get up from the ground. His carefully constructed image of power and intimidation was crumbling before his eyes, and he couldn't accept it."Get UP!" he screamed at his men. "GET UP and take this arrogant BASTARD down! What am I PAYING you for?!"The bodyguards struggled to their feet, one clutching his hyperextended elbow, the other holding his ribs where Ethan's precise strikes had landed. They looked at each other, then at Ethan, clearly reconsidering their career choices.Charlotte's eyes widened with renewed fear as she realized the fight wasn't over. Her gaze darted between Ethan, the recovering bodyguards, and Marcus's furious expression."You!" Charlotte suddenly shouted at Ethan, her voice sharp and accusing. "This is YOUR fault! I told you to LEAVE! I told you this was none of your BUSINESS!"Ethan turned to look at her, his expres
CHAPTER 58
Marcus Hayes—not Hayes, but Marcus Chen, Ethan now realized as he got a clearer look at the man—whirled around fully to face this newcomer who dared interrupt his fun. His face was still bloody from Charlotte's earlier assault, his expensive suit stained and rumpled, but his eyes blazed with renewed fury."Who the HELL do you think you are?!" Marcus roared, his voice cracking with rage. "Get LOST! This is NONE of your business!"Ethan didn't move. Didn't flinch. Didn't show even a flicker of intimidation despite Marcus's size advantage and the two massive bodyguards flanking him.Instead, Ethan's gaze shifted past Marcus to Charlotte, who was still trapped in the man's grip, her face flushed with humiliation and anger."Charlotte Bianco," Ethan said, his tone almost conversational but carrying a sharp edge of mockery. "Granddaughter of Vincent Bianco. Member of one of the wealthiest families in the city. And yet here you are, unable to p
CHAPTER 57
Earlier that morning, Ethan had settled into the back seat of the luxury sedan, his expression calm and focused. James drove with practiced efficiency, navigating through the city traffic with the ease of someone who'd been doing this for decades."The meeting with Miss Rebecca is scheduled for ten o'clock, young master," James said, glancing at Ethan in the rearview mirror. "She's arranged for several key personnel to be present. The heads of the investment division, the legal team, and the strategic planning department."Ethan nodded, his mind already running through the implications. Today was significant—the day he'd be formally introduced to the inner workings of the Kidman empire. Not as a figurehead, not as a distant heir, but as someone being prepared to eventually take control of one of the world's most powerful financial dynasties."Has my grandfather been informed?" Ethan asked."Miss Rebecca has kept him updated on all preparations," James confirmed. "He's very pleased wit
CHAPTER 56
Charlotte's jaw clenched, her entire body going rigid in Hayes's grip. She could feel his hand against her throat, could sense the implicit threat in his touch, could see the cruel satisfaction in his eyes.But she refused to break."No," she said, her voice steady despite the fear coursing through her veins. "I'm not apologizing to you. I'm not EVER apologizing to you."Hayes's expression darkened. "You stubborn little—""I don't CARE how strong your aura is," Charlotte interrupted, her voice rising. "I don't CARE how threatening you think you are! I'm not backing down to trash like you!""Charlotte, PLEASE!" Uncle West begged, his voice breaking. "Please, just do what he says! Your safety is more important than—""My safety?" Charlotte let out a harsh laugh. "You think I'm going to be SAFE if I submit to this animal? You think he'll just let me go if I apologize? Use your HEAD, Uncle West!"Hayes's smile turn
CHAPTER 55
The man stumbled backward, his hand pressed against his bleeding nose, his eyes watering from the pain. For a moment, he just stood there, stunned, as if unable to process that this beautiful woman had actually just assaulted him with her handbag.Then his expression transformed.The lecherous smile vanished, replaced by something darker, more dangerous. His face contorted with rage, blood still streaming from his nostrils and dripping onto his expensive suit."DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!" he roared, his voice cracking with fury. "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO YOU JUST HIT?!"Charlotte didn't flinch. She stood her ground, her designer bag still clutched in her hand like a weapon, her chin raised in defiant contempt. Blood from the cut on her forehead had trickled down to her cheek, making her look fierce and slightly unhinged."I don't care," she said coldly, rolling her eyes with exaggerated disdain. "I don't care if you're the MAYOR of
CHAPTER 54
Uncle West took a shaky breath, trying to compose himself despite the trembling in his hands. He reached for his door handle, his voice strained but determined. "Miss Charlotte, please, stay in the car. It might not be safe out there for you. Let me handle this. It's my fault—I should be the one to face the consequences.""Uncle West—" Charlotte started."Please," he interrupted, his voice cracking slightly. "You and Miss Lina just stay here where it's safe. I'll deal with the other driver. I'll handle everything. Just... just stay in the car."But Charlotte was already pushing her door open, her expression set in stubborn determination. "I'm not hiding in the car while you face this alone, Uncle West. We're in this together.""Miss Charlotte, really, I don't think—" Uncle West tried again."I said I'm coming out," Charlotte cut him off, her tone leaving no room for argument.Uncle West sighed in defeat, knowing that ar
