The Lost Heir: The Rise Of Ethan Walker

A senior director

An hour later, both of them drove over to Grand City Hall in the city. It was a noble place known by all to hold such a grand event that would be attended by several big shots in the city. 

As soon as they parked, a call came in on Axel's phone. It was one of her superiors at the bank, so she couldn’t just ignore it.

“I’m sorry I’ll have to pick this.” She said to Ethan.

“It’s fine. Go ahead. I’ll step out first.” Ethan nodded before hopping out of the car. While Axel was busy with her call, he had no reason to stay in the car to listen to whatever she had to say. 

 Besides, he wanted to get a view of the place since this was his first time here. He began to take a stroll, but it wasn’t long until he heard someone call his name.

“Ethan?” He turned only to see Amelia standing so close with Logan while he had just had his hand wrapped around her waist so possessively.

“You still can’t stay away from me, can you? How dare you follow me here?” Her face scrunched up into a frown at once.

“Isn’t he supposed to be locked up by now for having a fake card? Why aren’t the police doing their jobs? What if he steals more cards here or even mine?” Logan chirped in with a look of disdain in his eyes, as after all, he had heard the whole situation from Amelia.

“Hmp! He has to be so stupid and useless because of the divorce only for him to start running a fake Black Card just to get back at me? Indeed, he is such a loser!” Amelia chuckled before pointing at Ethan.

“I’ll warn you to return that black card to wherever you must have gotten it from, or else a big disaster shall befall you, do you hear me? Now that you are in front of me, let’s see if you can try to run.” She harrumphed.

“Amelia, I’ll advise you to stay at your place and don’t go beyond what you cannot finish. I am only here to attend the auction, so can you two get off my path now?” Ethan was pissed. Deep lines appeared on his forehead as he was infuriated to the core already.

“Huh? Attend the auction? Do you think they sell roadside items that someone like you can buy? Come on. Even if you want to dream big, shouldn’t you know your class?” Logan said with a chuckle.

“Amelia, I’ll advise you to stop caring about this punk, or else you’ll be implicated. Just look at him. What a sole loser. If someone like him can get in here, then I think it would have been a classless event. Hahahaha.” He added.

“Honey, don’t worry, I’ve cut ties with him already. If he is going to rot in jail, I’ll gladly send him off to hell. Care about him? I'd rather turn a pig into a pet, than care for him.” Amelia replied with a smirk. 

“That’s good!” Logan nodded his head, pleased with what she said, but just then, the crowd gasped.

“Who is that lady? She looks so beautiful, like a goddess.”

“Wow. Is she from around here? I have never seen her before.”

Looking in the direction, Axel had just hopped down from the car. Her beauty and strong aura gushed around the place, putting her in a different light from everyone, making her stand out. She was even more beautiful than Amelia. The difference was like heaven and earth. 

After hearing what was going on between both parties, she had to wrap up the call quickly just so she could come to Ethan’s aid. At once, she rushed over and wrapped her arm around his.

“I apologize for taking such a long time, baby.” She smiled sweetly at Ethan, pretending to be his girlfriend just to get back at Amelia, and it was working.

Her face had suddenly become so ugly that even her makeup was barely keeping up.

Ethan knew she was trying to help him, but the sudden closeness between them—how she was holding him made his heart start racing. He didn’t expect to get a lover so soon, even though it was in the name of pretense.

On the other hand, Amelia was angry and jealous at the sight of this. The same went for Logan. He didn’t expect a loser such as Ethan, would hook up with such a beauty right after his divorce from Amelia.

But that wasn’t all. He was able to realize that this woman was a senior staff member at Nile City Bank. She was not only beautiful, but she also had such a high rank in the bank. 

What was more, Nile City Bank was not only the largest bank in the entire country, but they had business around the world. The position of a senior director of the bank had a high voice that could influence the investment business of the bank in this city.

Logan only had a platinum card with the bank and knew that only those with higher bronze cards could contact people like her. As for people like him, he had no chance at all, yet Ethan here had a chance?

Just then he was able to connect the dots. The reason Ethan wasn’t arrested by the bank was that Axel here had used her connection to help him out, and now she has brought him to the event.

That could be the only valid explanation for all this. He was sure of it.

He looked at her and asked. 

“You must be Axel, right? A senior director at Nile City Bank?”
