CHAOS IN THE PARADISE OF THE RICH

Ethan!!” Both ladies exclaimed at the same time.

All The gentlemen around were surprised, and they looked at Ethan and then at the two ladies

Emily and Ava looked at each other.

“Do you know him?” Emily was the first to ask nervously

Ava nodded.

“This is my ex-husband I told you about. The Ex-Convict,” Ava said and shot Ethan a deadly stare.

All the gentlemen around except David and Chris were shocked to hear that Ethan was an ex-convict.

Emily was shocked. She bowed her head in shame but quickly regained her composure.

She just couldn't fathom the fact that she had made out with an ex-convict three days ago.

She looked at Ethan with a shameful face, and Ethan simply kept a straight face.

“But... how do you know him?” Ava asked Emily.

The question hit Emily off guard as she was still trying to process the fact that she had just slept with a stranger who was also an ex-convict and, even more disgusting, the ex-husband of one of her soon-to-be partners.

“Errm… I… I used to know him some years ago … That's… that's all,” Emily fumbled.

“Oh, great. It's nice you guys know Dr Ethan already…” David tried to speak, but he could not finish as Ava immediately interrupted him.

“Doctor?” I think you are mistaken here, Mr David. Ethan is not a doctor. He does not even qualify to be one,” Ava exclaimed, trying to belittle Ethan.

Ethan smiled and looked at Ava. He knew what was about to unfold. Ava was just about to be schooled and will soon find out who he was

“Woah, woah Wow, I think you are mistaken instead, Miss. He is a doctor. Emily, do you remember the doctor I told you about who healed me from my near-death ailment? This is him. Doctor Ethan. He was falsely accused and sent to jail, and he just came back,” David said, defending Ethan.

David was one of the shareholders of the WINSOR GROUP and was also a friend to Mr Winsor, Emily’s grandfather, and so he knew the Winsors on personal terms.

Ava was confused about what she had just heard from Mr David. For a second, she thought this was a different Ethan they were talking about, but Mr David was not a man known to joke.

And she was sure it was the same Ethan she was seeing here.

Emily's face brightened up a little.

“At least he is not a commoner. He is an important person,” she thought to herself.

“ Yes, this is Doctor Ethan. A very famous doctor renowned for his groundbreaking and unfathomable traditional healing methods. He cured me as well just a few months back,” Chris chipped in, in the defence of Ethan.

Ethan watched as the conversation unfolded, all about him.

At that same moment, a middle-aged man walked in on the conversation.

Ethan recognised this man at once. It was his former boss, the then-manager at his previous work before he went to jail. Surprisingly, he came straight to Ava and planted a kiss on her cheek.

Ava smiled and looked at him.

The man raised his head and saw Ethan standing right opposite him

“Ethan??!” He exclaimed in shock.

Ethan wore a surprised and angry look at the duo. The manner in which the two portrayed themselves, coupled with the shock on his former manager’s face, was an indication that something was going on between Ava and him.

It was then that Ethan began connecting the dots.

Obviously, while he was in jail, his manager was having a romantic relationship with his wife, and that was evidently the reason she stopped visiting him in prison.

Ethan at once knew the reason why Ava had called for a divorce the very day he came out of prison.

“What on earth are you doing here?” Ethan’s manager said with surprise in his voice.

Ethan did not reply to the question but went straight for Ava.

“Oh great. So this is exactly why you divorced me, huh? You were going out with my manager after I took the fall for you and ended up in jail.

He was the reason you stopped visiting me, huh? He is the same reason you divorced me, right? Great one, you cheat,” Ethan said with a straight face.

He was visibly angry but was trying to keep his composure.

“Took the fall?” David exclaimed as the phrase passed through her ears.

“What is going on here?” Emily said in surprise as she looked at Ava.

She was trying to see if Ava would say a different thing.

“Hey, hey. You all should hold on. This is a private issue, I guess. It shouldn't be discussed here.” Chris said, trying to ease the tension.

“Well. I think so. We came here for a ceremony. I guess you all can solve your differences later.” One of the gentlemen whom David had introduced to Ethan said.

He was also one of the major stakeholders of the company. His name was Ruben.

The atmosphere was tense, and they were trying to calm it.

Ethan took a deep breath and nodded.

“Of course, we will settle that later,” Ethan said as he flashed his former manager a deadly stare.

Jake, Ethan’s former manager, also wore a very serious face in an attempt to cover up his embarrassment.

“Hey, Emily, why don't you introduce us to who your new partners are?” They are the reason why we are here. Let's get the party started,” Ruben said in an attempt to divert the course.

All the other men with him agreed and all began saying “Yes” one after the other in agreement with what Mr Ruben said.

“Well, yes. This is Ava; she was the one I was signing the agreement with for the partnership.

She is the CEO for Avish Beauty Inc., but on second thought. I guess we will put this on hold for now. We need to get some things sorted out behind the scenes.” Emily said with uncertainty.

“What?!” Ava exclaimed in shock.

    Ethan raised an eyebrow, but Jay continued speaking"So, I simply told my men to track them. So, one set of men were tracking Mr Anderson from his side, and another set were tracking Abraham Lincoln on his side. Abraham Lincoln was on the highway, so generally, he was speeding, and Mr Anderson was also said to have been speeding through the estate road. Nobody knows why, but he seemed like something was wrong as he was driving the car haphazardly.In fact, my people reported that they believed something might be wrong with him. Nobody knew what happened, but right before the intersection where Mr Anderson was supposed to get onto the highway, there was a car crash involving him as he was speeding, and he hadn't slowed down before making the turn. He just literally drove right into the middle of the highway and crashed with another car.In fact, the impact was so hard that my people had to stop tailing and simply go to help and go to the rescue of Mr Anderson and whoever else was invo

    Abraham Lincoln sat in the car silently as he waited for clearance from his men before he would move out. He had just got off the phone with Mr Anderson, who was feigning ignorance of what was happening and how he had framed him. Unfortunately, Mr Anderson had hung up the phone in the middle of him talking, and all his efforts to try and reach him again had proven futile.He didn't know what was happening with Mr Anderson, but from the way he had been talking when he was speaking with him, it was clear that there was something wrong with him. He could not tell if he was just trying to act ignorant or if he was indeed sounding that way. Unfortunately, he did not get to know.He sat quietly in his car, waiting for his men to give him clearance that everywhere was safe before he went out. He was driving himself today, and he wanted to go on a cover mission, get to town, quickly check on something, and return before the sun rose. It was early in the morning, and it was a quick time to go

    About two minutes later, another message dropped in on the phone. "Okay, sir, I already began working on this even before you asked. The report should be ready in a few minutes. I will get back to you as soon as I am able to get anything on any of them. For now, we are just keeping our tabs on all of them and we monitor them throughout. Whatever thing that comes next, we are going to give to you," the message read.Ethan smiled and put the phone back in his pocket as he focused on the television and what the panel was discussing about Mr Anderson. He engrossed himself in looking on the screen and immediately forgot about what he was doing. Then, he soon realised the phone beeped in his pocket. He took it out and checked the message. It was a message from Jay with details on the current scene at Mr Anderson's place and the number of investors who had withdrawn from his business.Ethan read the message carefully. "Mr Anderson has over thirty-five main investors who are, in total, ha

    Ethan sat down quietly as the TV came to life, and the contents began showing. He had come to see the news on the TV, expecting to catch the early morning updates from the media about Mr Anderson's incidents and know where to hit next.Fortunately, the TV station did not disappoint. In fact, they were ready for what he was thinking about even before he entered. The newsreader was talking about Mr Anderson's issue, beginning from his warehouse that exploded to his oil refinery that caught fire and down to the document that had been released about him.In fact, it was clear that they had carefully analysed the papers and the document that had been released about Mr Anderson already and were already making analysis on that. From the way they were discussing it, using the evidence provided in the document, it was clear that Mr Anderson was in trouble.In fact, the newsreader also mentioned that the police had already taken on the case and were acting on orders to investigate the matter a

    Ethan sat on the edge of his bed with his phone in his hand, staring silently at it as he read some information on it. He had engrossed himself in reading all of the documents that had been released, and he was trying to understand everything that was in there. For the past two hours, he had read about thirty pages already, and the more he went further, the more he felt like reading more because the next page was always revealing.He turned around to look at Keziah, who was fast asleep on the bed. It was already 11 p.m., and he was still not asleep. He was trying to make plans, working with Jay remotely, as he figured out what their next steps were going to be.When he was finally done with the work and his eyes were strained from reading excessively, he calmly dropped the phone and lay down. Just as he was about to tuck himself into bed, the dummy phone beeped. It was a message from Jay. For the past two hours, Jay had continuously been giving him enough information about what was
