The Lost Heir: The Rise Of Ethan Walker

You two are fired

“Don’t move, we are going to take you in, you thief!” The guards were quick to make a move, as after all, what Charlotte and Fiona said made a lot of sense, and if they didn’t take matters into their hands, they would be dealt with later on. 

Also, Charlotte had a bronze card and was considered a top priority by the bank. If she chose to lodge a complaint about them for neglecting this thief, their lives would be over too. 

“Wait, I just told you I didn’t steal this card, right? Why are you guys trying to attack me on my own right?” Ethan said with a frown. 

At this point, he realized his mother-in-law and her daughter would stop at nothing until his life was ruined entirely. Haven’t they had enough already?

He was sure they were the ones who instigated Amelia to date Logan Hale so that she could initiate a divorce with him later on. For that one, they had won, yet it didn’t seem like it was enough.

“Can we talk this through? You guys are mistaken.” Ethan tried to talk them out of it. He never thought the card, which was supposed to help him out of this situation, would end up making it worse.

Zzzzzzzzz!

Just then, a buzzing sound could be heard coming from an electric baton held by one of the guards as he switched it on and was ready to use it on Ethan. 

He had been surrounded by four people now, and looking from here to there, he knew an attack would come at him anytime soon.

Adding to the securities, Charlotte and Fiona made them four. Both ladies had molded their fists and were ready to box him down to misery. 

“Wait! What’s the meaning of this?”

Just at the point of attack, a roar was heard coming from the entrance of the bank. Looking toward it, a tall and elegant woman clad in a suit, her hourglass figure peering through, was walking towards the scene.

She was gorgeous and had light makeup on. Even though she had a deep frown on her face at the moment, that didn’t change anything.

“Do you even know what you are doing?” She roared again, causing everyone to freeze and return to position. The guard especially, wanted to explain what was going on, but before the words could leave their lips, a slap was hurled at their faces.

Smack!

Smack!

“I was watching what was going on through the cameras. Have you two gone insane? Do you have any common sense at all? Do you know what you have just done?” The lady named Axel Steele was a senior staff member in the bank, so the guards didn’t dare refute or even talk back to her, as they knew the consequences.

Since she had been watching them on camera, it meant that they were done for. It seemed they were the ones in the wrong, but it was too late to change what had happened.

“You two are fired. Go get your things and leave. Don’t even try to plead, or else I will call the cops on you and report you for harassment of a top client of ours.” She was cold as she sneered at them, causing shivers to run down their spines.

Both securities broke into a sweat as their bodies wouldn’t stop shivering. It now looked like they might piss their pants soon.

“What are you waiting for? Scram!” She hollered while they stumbled, losing their balance due to her sudden roar before they were able to get hold of themselves and rushed out of the scene.

Axel was still frowning but quickly put on her best mood to greet Ethan. However, before he could even start, Charlotte and Fiona spoke.

“Excuse me, ma’am, aren’t you chasing off the wrong people? This punk is a thief, and if anyone should be arrested, it should be him. Those guards were doing their jobs. Why did you sack them?” Charlotte spoke first.

“That’s right. Look, he has got a black card. How can that be possible? We have known him for a long while, and this man is the poorest of the poor. How could he own such a card?” Fiona continued from where she stopped.

Axel looked at them like they were fools. Do they think the Supreme Bank Card was just any kind of card that could be stolen? Certain kinds of cards were rarely found.

In fact, to show how significant these cards were, only two hundred of them had been produced so far in the entire world. For such a card to show up here meant Ethan had a very extraordinary identity.

Yet, these women were claiming to know him and even calling him a thief?

“What kind of bronze card do you have?” Axel asked, though there was a hint of sarcasm in her tone, the two ladies were too carried away to realize it. 

Instead, they thought they were about to be recognized. Charlotte pulled it out with great pride and showed it off.

“A platinum card. That is why you should listen to us.”

“Is that so?” Axel raised a brow at her. “Do you know I can have your membership card taken away from you, and you shall be permanently disqualified from doing business with this bank?”

Hearing this, both Charlotte and Fiona felt like they had just been hit with several bolts of lightning. They wanted to say something, but seeing the coldness in her eyes made them realize that if they infuriated her more, she was going to do what she said.

After all, for her to have the power to decide those guards' fate meant she wasn’t a small employee in the bank.

Deep in dismay and resentment for Ethan, they silently walked off without looking back or lifting their heads. By the time the bank realized that Ethan was only a fraud and had stolen the card, they would definitely arrest him. 

Since their good intention wasn’t recognized, they would leave them to figure things out by themselves. However, Charlotte wasn’t done yet. After they had both walked far, she pulled out her phone and quickly made a call.

“Hello, where are you? Ethan attacked me on the way just now.”
