The instant the gunfire sounded, Ethan suddenly revealed a menacing smile on his expressionless face.

He flashed away and disappeared from his initial position, leaving only a mere afterimage behind.

As a result, the shot missed its target.

Spencer was shocked beyond belief.

In the blink of an eye, Ethan had suddenly appeared at Spencer's side like a ghost.

"Agh!"

At that moment, Ethan grabbed Spencer by his arm and twisted it without any mercy. As the sound of bones cracking reverberated throu

    At that moment, Ethan expressionlessly sent a text message to the driver, Marcus, who was seated near the back row of the hall."Alright, Ms. Host. Since no one else is going to participate in the auction, you might as well announce the final result. I will now be smashing the King of the World into millions of pieces!" Sterling said scornfully with an ice-cold smile on his face."Two pieces of jewelry, ten million dollars for the Everlasting Light going once, one dollar for the King of the World going once," Jennifer said slowly as usual.Sterling and his wife looked at Sophia's look of despair and laughed at the same time."How does despair feel like, Sophia?" Natalie said in high spirits. "I will teach you a valuable lesson that will inevitably stick with you for your entire life. By the end of this auction, you will understand that a lowly person like you is simply not worthy to go against someone like me. Do you understand?""Wait a minute! Mr. Sterling!" Jennifer's eyes lit up a

    "Haha! What a joke!" Natalie exclaimed as she revealed a look of contempt. "You can't actually be thinking that your pendant will be sold at a higher price than mine, do you?"Natalie sneered as she said coldly, "Sophia, I will let you understand just how big the gap between you and me is later! I will show you just what you can achieve with money and status!""Don't you understand that I can crush you to death using money? Let me give you a heads up of what's going to happen. During the auction, I will make it so that no one present will dare to bid for your pendant and cause it to be sold at a low price! As for my work... I have plenty of money to spend on it, you see. I can afford to raise it to any price I want. But what about you? Do you have the money to do so? What can you even do to raise the price of the bid?"Natalie laughed proudly and said, "Do you understand now? How could a stupid frog that lived at the bottom of the well their entire life possibly dream to fight and com

    over from her seat."Sophia, I don't know what kind of rubbish you ended up designing but let me tell you, the Everlasting Light I created is absolutely perfect and flawless. Your inferior creation is nothing when compared to my masterpiece," Natalie spoke with an arrogant attitude, looking down on Sophia. "The masterpiece I created will definitely be the most exquisite piece of jewelry that you will have ever seen. Even the accessories that you're currently wearing don't even amount to ten thousand dollars, yet you still intend to compete with me in terms of quality?""Just wait and see as the jewelry you created ends up as a joke! To think that you still have the delusion of becoming the official Chief Design Officer! What complete nonsense!"After uttering those conceited words, Natalie turned around and went back to her seat. It seemed that she deliberately came here to boast of her superiority.Sophia bit her lips lightly in frustration. Her work of painstaking effort was definit

    "That piece of trash, Ethan, actually dared to talk to us in such a preposterous manner! If we don't teach him a lesson now, I'm afraid he will be even more arrogant in the future," Sterling said frustratingly as his veins popped out on his forehead, on the verge of eruption.After all, he was the young master of the Sterling Family, one of the most influential families in Clearwater City. Who would have the audacity to act so arrogantly before him, even in the circle of wealthy people in the city?However, a mere pathetic son-in-law like Ethan actually dared to use Sophia's position as Chief Design Officer of the Harrison Group to put on airs in front of him? Could that brat really not distinguish between life and death?"What the hell is going on with Derek? Could it be that Ethan really managed to bring back the King of the World?" Natalie frowned slightly as she exclaimed with a livid expression. Thinking about how a useless brat like Ethan actually had the nerve to make her suffe

    "Security, escort these two out."Natalie said confidently and waved her hand. At that moment, three or four staff members dressed in security uniforms immediately responded to her commands from the side."These two people do not have the right to enter, yet they still wanted to go take a seat inside. They are obviously trying to cause a ruckus at the exhibition, so chase the two of them out at once!" Natalie said bluntly."The two of you, please stop," the four security guards said seriously and stretched out their hands to block Sophia and Ethan's path."What is the meaning of this? I am the Chief Design Officer of the company, yet I cannot enter my own venue?" Sophia said angrily."Haha!" Natalie sneered with disdain. "Sophia, have you already forgotten about the mistake you made in the King of the World Project? Since you messed up the project, you would naturally be fired immediately. Thus, I have already arranged for other guests to take your original seats. There is no longer a

    The next day.Early in the morning, Ethan and Sophia set off from Riverside District towards Clearwater Commercial Skyscraper in the city center.While Marcus concentrated on driving, Ethan was resting with his eyes closed in the back seat of the car. On the other hand, Sophia looked extremely worried about the day."Ethan, what did you do last night?" Sophia suddenly asked.Ethan slowly opened his eyes and smiled, "Can I assume that you are concerned about me?""Tch!" Sophia rolled her eyes in irritation at Ethan."Never in a million years. I was simply worried about the jewelry exhibition today. Since the final product I designed has been stolen, I'm not sure how we're going to explain the situation to our guests," Sophia said anxiously.Ethan responded, "Don't worry. I have already settled the matter last night."Sophia looked doubtful and asked, "How did you do it? Did you really get the King of the World back?""Why don't you take a guess?" Ethan smiled.Sophia bit her lips and p
