2025-06-04 20:12:29YOU WILL REGRET THIS DECISION
He had endured three solid years in prison just for his wife to be a free woman. With his medical skills in prison, he had been able to help a lot of wealthy people and had made billions of dollars, with the intention of coming back home to enjoy his life with his wife. Ethan finally found his voice to speak again after a few seconds. “I was in prison for three years because of you. I have taken the fall for you and served your sentence for you. It is finally over. I come home to spend my life with you, and this is how you reject me. Is this how you want to repay me for all the love and care I showed to you? . How could you be this cruel, Ava?!” Ethan said with a serious face. He had just mustered courage to say this, although he still had some traces of a broken heart in his voice Ava let out a mocking laugh. “Listen here, I did not tell you to carry my cross for me. You did it out of your sheer stupidity, and I won't be to blame for it., I have made my decision that I am not going to be the wife of a broke man with a criminal record, so just get it,” Ava said, making a mocking face at Ethan Ethan realised that Ava had come here to make fun of him and belittle him. He just went speechless as he looked at Ava in shock. He was down, and his eyes were filled with tears; it was just that he was trying so hard not to let them down his face. Ava did not waste time. She stretched into the car and took out some papers, together with a pen, and handed them to Ethan. Ethan took the papers hesitantly and read the heading. “DIVORCE CONSENT AND AGREEMENT”... Ethan looked at the paper and then at Ava. Ava maintained a stern face as he looked at Ethan. Ethan hesitated for a moment as he thought about what he was going to do, but after a second thought, he signed the paper sadly. His hand was visibly shaking as he signed. “You are going to regret this, Ava. I promise you this. You will regret ever doing this,” Ethan said, sniffing hard. Ava rolled her eyes and chuckled. She did not even bother to reply to Ethan. Ava checked the signature on the paper, making sure it was correct. “I have to go meet the granddaughter of the WINSOR GROUP in a bid for a fifty million dollar deal…” Ava said with a mocking smile to spite Ethan as she opened her car door. “I will finalise the divorce, and you will get the notification on when you will finish the rest of the procedures,” Ava said and got into her car, starting the engine. Ethan looked on, too dumbfounded to speak. He watched as Ava drove away at top speed, leaving a plume of dust behind. He closed his eyes for a second, and as if by magic, regrets, pain, and sadness swept over him. He found tears flowing from his eyes in a split second out of deep pain Before Ethan could move out of where he stood with his broken heart, a black sedan arrived right in front of him, at the same spot Ava’s car had just left. Mr. Frost got out of the car and looked at Ethan. He recognised him easily with the description the guard at the gate had given him. Mr. Frost spoke in a calm manner. “Dr. Ethan. I came to see you. I am terminally ill, and I know you are the only one who can heal me. Please help me. Please save my life,” Mr. Frost pleaded as he looked at Ethan humbly. Ethan, who had just been ignored and divorced by his wife, looked at the man with no pity. He was brokenhearted, and the man’s words felt like nonsense to his ears at that moment. “I am in no mood to cure anyone,” Ethan simply replied, uninterested. Mr. Frost pulled out a black card from his purse and handed it over to Ethan. “This is a black card worth ten billion dollars. Please take this and heal me, please,” Mr. Frost said pleadingly. Ethan slowly pushed the card back. “Your disease is not that deadly yet,” Ethan said and walked away, leaving Mr. Frost to himself. He walked shabbily with sore red eyes and trails of tears on his face. and looked so lost. Mr. Frost let out a sigh and looked at Ethan as he walked away. He could not understand what kind of a man Ethan was, who could reject ten billion dollars just like that and talk of an ex-convict like him. As a successful businessman and a billionaire, he was used to always rejecting people, but today he has been rejected by someone. Mr. Frost shook his head in pity for himself. Then, looking at Ethan as he left, an idea popped up in his head suddenly.

BACK TO COURTFRIDAY MORNING, REDWOOD AIRPORTMr David and Ethan were walking on the runway, heading towards the stairs of the aeroplane to board it.They were busily having a conversation as they boarded the plane.“So. I have been able to draft something. I will perfect it when the plane moves and then I will submit it in the court during the hearing. With the severeness of the case, I know it is going to result in the lawyer being fined and punished by the court, and being taken off the case.” Mr David explained to Ethan as they got into the plane.They headed straight to sit in the first class cabin where their seats had been assigned.They discussed throughout the entire flight until they landed and checked out at the airport at Dome.Heir chauffeur was already waiting for them when they arrived. They got into the car and headed straight for the courtroom.An hour later, they were seated in the courtroom. The judges had arrived and the court was already in session.There wwere a

YOU ARE UNWELCOME HEREEthan made his way straight to the gate.The guards opened the small door for him to see who the people were.When Ethan got out, a man and a woman stood at the gate, with smiles on their faces.The duo seemed to be somewhere in their sixties.“Good day. I heard you were looking for me. How may I help you?” Ethan asked, raising an eyebrow.“Hello, sir. Nice to meet you. We are here to speak to you, please,” the man, Ernest, said.Ethan walked back inside and instructed them to come in, and they followed.Right at the path to the entrance of the house, Ethan stood there, trying to engage them.“I am sorry, but I do not know you by any chance, and I am not expecting you either.Who are you, please?” Ethan asked them“My name is Ernest Allswell, and this is my wife, Sarah. We are the parents of Jake. Jake Allswell,” the man explained.Ethan raised an eyebrow in blank expression.“Jake's parents? I never knew he had parents. But how did you get my address?” Ethan as

THE UNKNOWN VISITOREthan smiled widely“Once again I appreciate your kindness and your willingness to do something return for your health. However, like I said, I prefer that all that money go to charity.I have nothing that I wish for, because I am doing well, thankfully.For the amount spent on flights and transportation, I did not even realise that money. I don't pay for flights; I have cards that cover that, and I don't buy fuel either, so technically nothing is lost.I don't need anything. I want all that money to be channelled to charity. I am very good with that, and I will be more than glad if you do this for me.” Ethan explained to the astonishment of Jake and his father, Mr Andy. The two looked at each other in surprise. “Okay, Doctor. That will be done. But I still think you should take the money, or at least something, as a token.Anyways, I am sure I am going to do the donation within the course of the week, but that being said, I am very grateful for your help, and

FREE GIFT, NO PAYMENTS NEEDED“So technically I won’t be cross-examined again, right?” Ethan asked him.“Not really. They have all the needed information; the investigators will handle the rest.Unless, of course, any of the suspects raises an issue that has to do with you and the court needs clearer information, or I am representing and I want us to pin more on them.These two scenarios may warrant you being in the witness box again, but I think this will be unlikely.” Mr David explained to him.They got into their chauffeur, and the driver drove.Thankfully, Ethan had booked the return flight on a two-hour interval from the first flight, knowing the court session was not going to last that longThe flight was just a few minutes away.Mr David was returning to Redwood, and Ethan was taking a flight to the Cley Islands instead.Ethan’s flight was moving first, and so he was the first to board his flight, leaving Mr David behind in the VIP lounge.In just about forty minutes, Ethan was

TOUGH QUESTIONSEthan looked at Mr David, who nodded to tell him to go on.They had not really planned for any cross-examination today, knowing the law was on their side, but now Ethan had been called. He had no idea the questions he was going to be asked, but he knew he had to obey the call and hope for the best.Ethan went to stand in the witness box, ready for the questions from the judges.“Mr Ethan Smith. The Report on the investigations conducted by the Bureau of National Investigations on the police and the judiciary service was rightly true and tallied exactly with the reports you submitted to the court for the reopening of the case.
CHAPTER 179
THE CALLAfter he dropped the call, he simply imagined what was going on at that moment with Julius.He had successfully been able to establish his dominance by not doing anything and had succeeded in scaring the hell out of Julius.Now he was sure Julius was going to back down for a while, giving him enough time to do justice to Ava, Jake and their accomplices properly before focusing again on the the next.Ethan heaved a sigh.His phone beeped again. He thought it was Julius calling again and decided not to answer, but when he checked the phone, he realised it was Ralphael calling instead.“Hello,” Ethan said when he answered the call.“Hello, sir. Good evening” Raphael greeted.“Good evening, Ralphael. How are you doing?”“I am very well, sir. I missed your call a few hours ago. I was still in the meeting with the clients; that was why I could not answer the phone,” Raphael said.“Oh yes. I realised you might still be in the meeting by then. How did the meeting go?” Ethan asked him
