"“No wonder I always felt something was off! So that's what it is! You're right!" he said in a rage. This mistake could make him lose his job; thinking of the possibility of that, he was immediately enraged. "You came here, thinking that you could deceive your way in?" he asked. "I'm not surprised that you could stoop so low, Ethan. You must have planned this with Roseanna, but do you actually know what's funny?" She paused, turning to Eric before shifting her gaze back to them. "It's funny how it almost worked if not for Eric," she added. "You should be grateful for the kind of senior manager that you have because trust me, if any other official had found out, you would have lost your job," Dana said. "You're dressed in a fine suit, but your attitude downgrades your personality." The security guard commented, feeling disgusted. "Anyway. I didn't forget our bet. I'm looking forward to seeing the both of you on your knees," Dana said, smiling mischievously. "But there's one more thing! I can save the both of you from the shame and embarrassment by letting you guys in, but Ethan has to do something for me first," Roseanna scoffed, gazing at her, "And what is that?" "Ethan will have to beg me. Apologize to me for what happened yesterday, and I want him to do it on his knees. I want to see that you regret bringing the papers for me to sign in the first place," she said, but Ethan rolled his eyes and shifted his gaze to the security man, the person who he actually has to explain to. "Look here, I'm sure you're misunderstanding...." "What's going on here?" The security captain walked in; he had been noticing the arguments going on for minutes, and he needed to come see it for himself. "Sir, this invite card was forged. The man and his lady tried to fool me; how desperate can one be?" he added. The security captain took the invitation and turned pale with shock. “This… This is…!” “Captain! Isn’t their forgery extremely poor?” A security guard laughed. “They even got the emblem wrong, mistaking a dragon for a bear…” “Shut up!” The security captain angrily raised his hand and slapped the guard. “Captain! What… What are you doing?!” The security guard panicked, trembling all over as he asked in fear. “Have you never read the security manual? The company issued three types of invitations today. The Silver Bear is just the most basic one! The highest-level invitation is marked with a dragon, which means they hold the company’s Supreme Card!” The security captain was about to lose his mind. Holders of Secret Company’s Supreme Card had a status equivalent to board members! Even if they didn’t own shares, they still possessed various privileges—far beyond what low-ranking security guards like them could afford to offend! “Su… Supreme Card? The highest-level invitation?” The security guard was dumbfounded, and even Dana and Eric couldn’t believe it. “That’s impossible!” Dana lost control and screamed at the security captain. “You must be mistaken! How could these two losers be Supreme Card holders of Secret Company? They’re just garbage!” Eric also growled in anger. “You’re the security captain—you should know that Supreme Card holders are of the highest status. How could these two pieces of trash have one?” The security captain frowned, his face turning serious. He respectfully bowed to Ethan and asked, “Excuse me, sir, may I verify your Supreme Card?” “Hah! I guarantee he doesn’t have a Supreme Card! That invitation is obviously fake!” Dana screamed hysterically. “When his lie is exposed, Secret Company won’t let them go! You have no idea how powerful the company is. You’ll end up as beggars, roaming the streets for the rest of your lives!” Eric added. Surrounded by skeptical gazes, Ethan chuckled. “A Supreme Card, huh? Turns out, I do have one.” Ethan pulled out his wallet, which contained numerous different cards. Casually flipping through them, he took out an exquisitely crafted black card and tossed it to the security captain. “Go ahead, check it thoroughly so these idiots won’t keep whining.” Ethan said nonchalantly. “Ethan… I… I’m a little nervous!” Rosanna’s voice trembled. Everything happening now was far beyond her expectations and control. “Relax,” Ethan said gently. His calm voice somehow reassured Rosanna, making her feel at ease. The security captain took the Supreme Card and pulled out a scanning device, swiping the card lightly. Everyone anxiously awaited the result. Beep… Supreme Card, Number 0001. Security Clearance: Highest. Holder’s information: Unavailable. Welcome, esteemed Supreme Guest, to Secret Company! The entire room fell into silence. “What does that mean?” Dana frowned. “What do you mean, ‘information unavailable’?” The security captain trembled. He respectfully returned the card to Ethan, nearly kneeling on the spot. “S… Sorry! Esteemed Supreme Guest, please forgive our negligence. You and your companion may enter.” “Wait! How does ‘information unavailable’ prove that his Supreme Card is real? Are you covering for him?!” Dana shrieked. “Enough! This is Supreme Card No. 0001—the most prestigious of all Supreme Cards! We don’t even have the clearance to access the cardholder’s identity!” the security captain roared. He hated Dana to the core. If not for her, how could he have offended the holder of Supreme Card No. 0001?! “This… This can’t be real…” Dana murmured in disbelief, her eyes lifeless. “Alright, no need to be too scared. It’s your duty to carefully check everyone’s credentials,” Ethan said calmly. The security captain was so overwhelmed with emotion that he nearly cried—Ethan wasn’t blaming him! “Thank you! Thank you for your generosity!” However, Ethan then casually remarked, “But… what should be done about those who offended a Supreme Guest?” His gaze landed on Dana and Eric, filled with meaning. The security captain immediately understood. He straightened up and firmly declared, “Rest assured, esteemed Supreme Guest. These two will absolutely not be allowed into the banquet tonight!” Ethan chuckled, patted the captain’s shoulder, and walked into the banquet with Rosanna. “Wait!” Dana shrieked and tried to rush forward for an explanation. But— She slammed into someone hard. Looking up, she saw the security captain’s cold, resentful face. “The Supreme Guest has spoken,” he said icily. “You—and that man over there—aren’t stepping foot inside tonight!”

"Is my husband home?" Elia asked the butler as she strolled into her home with Ethan beside her and the butler in front of them."Yes, ma'am, he got back this morning." The butler, chasing Elia, arched her brows, asking,"He left? He left my baby here?" "No, ma'am. He left with the baby yesterday, and he returned this morning," the butler informed, causing Elia to respond with a small nod, wondering where Xavuer went with their child."Inform him that I'm here with my brother." She said, falling on the sofa like she didn't have enough rest the previous night, "You seem tired; didn't you sleep?" Ethan asked nonchalantly as he sat on the chair beside hers, "I did, but not enough. I had to wake up this morning to put some things in order," she responded.Just then, Xavier climbed down from the stairs with the baby in his arms. "Ethan... I didn't know you were coming." He paused and turned to Elia. "A call would have been nice," he informed her."Well... he's my brother; isn't this his

James was stunned; he opened his lips to speak, but not even a single word came out. "You work a lot, sir, and I think you need rest." Ethan sat on the counter, gazing plainly at his food that was now fully cooked. "You can go, James. I enjoyed your company," he said, causing James to nod before leaving the room.He dished the food onto a plate and carried a fork. It almost felt like the sight of the food was reducing his appetite.Just then, his phone started to ring. He rubbed his hand on his forehead before reaching for the phone on the table. His eyes narrowed the second he caught sight of the caller, "Catelyn." He read,"Hello." Ethan answered firmly,"What was that call I received, Ethan? Are you trying to threaten me to tell everyone that I've been lying?" She asked sternly. Her voice was surprisingly charming; for a second, Ethan forgot this was how Cersei described her to be before they got married.The thought of this instantly made Ethan wonder, "Dp girls change after marr

"Okay, sir," Lilian responded sternly before Ethan hung up. After the call, he decided to rest.Ethan closed his eyes, and just like the last few nights, his head began to hurt the second he shut his eyes to sleep.If he manages to get through the pain, the world suddenly turns quiet, and his thoughts become louder in his head. "You're taking time, Ethan; what if they're faster than you?"He tried not to think too much of if things didn't go his way, but it was almost impossible. "You have to get up! What if they're watching? What if they're working while the only thing you do is sit down and wait?""You don't even know who your foes are...""Stop!!!!" Ethan yelled, throwing his hand to his ears to cover them, but unfortunately, the voices were all in his head; he was depriving himself of sleep by thinking like that, but the problem was that Ethan just couldn't escape it.He sat up, staring blankly at his wall for hours. He climbed down from the bed and took a few steps towards his dr

"I hope not, Rosanna. I hope not because I'm teaching you how not to leave all your eggs in one basket," Vera informed.Getting tired of the conversation, Rosanna asked, "You've gotten the invitation that I promised. I have something to do now. Bye, Grandma." Without waiting to get a response, she hung up.After hanging up, she sat in the room and completely lost track of the time.Knock! Knock! A knock on the door caught her attention. "I'm not hungry yet, James; I'll come down soon," she said, thinking it was the butler.The door opened, ignoring her words, "Didn't you hear me?" Rosanna asked and swiftly turned to the door and was surprised to see Ethan standing there instead of the butler.She froze, surprised. "How are you feeling now?" Ethan asked, strolling towards the bed where she sat, next to Carissa, who has spent more than half of the day asleep.The nanny had occasionally come to check up on the baby, making sure she was fed anytime she woke up.Rosanna ignored Ethan's qu

Lisa walked to the kitchen with the intention of brewing a cup of coffee for herself so that she could stay up all night and walk around the house; hopefully, she'd come across Xavier randomly, but the only problem she had was her mother, and maybe instead of Xavier, she might bump into her mother.Her phone rang, and without checking the caller, she answered and said, "I think you should focus on your boyfriend; at least now I know where you stand...""Who are you talking to?" Her mother cut in, causing Lisa to immediately check who the caller was.Surprisingly, her eyes fell on the words, "My mom.""It's not you, Mom... I'm, uhmm, rehearsing for a role," she lied."Okay, I hope I'm not interrupting. I really want this movie to be a hit movie for you so that we can finally be able to fund living alone in a mansion and afford that kind of lifestyle without breaking the bank," she said."Okay, Mom. "I'm trying, and don't worry, I'm putting in the effort," she responded."Alright, dear.
