Chapter ninety nine
Chapter ninety nine.Ethan's smile grew wider as he watched the interview, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction. Victoria, who had been observing him, cleared his throat, breaking the silence. "I really don't get what you're up to," Victoria said, his expression puzzled.Ethan's gaze met Victoria's, and he dropped his phone, still smiling. "You'll understand soon enough," he said, his voice low and mysterious. "But let me tell you, I've killed two birds with one stone."Victoria raised an eyebrow, curiosity piqued. "How?" she asked.Ethan's smile turned smug. "I've humbled the Sawyer family today. All I need to do now is humble Maria, and my plan will be complete."Victoria rolled her eyes, a hint of skepticism in her voice. "By marrying her? That's not humbleness, Ethan."Ethan chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Only time will tell," he said, his voice dripping with confidence.Just as Victoria was about to respond, Maria burst into the room, excitement radiating from her.
chapter ninety Eight
Chapter ninety Eight.To their surprise, the judge had moved out of her place. Caleb's father seethed. "This can't be happening," he muttered, his eyes scanning the area as if searching for someone to blame. "Someone helped her. Who the hell helped her?" he barked, his anger boiling over.He turned to Caleb, his face twisted in a snarl. "Call the airport, seaport, train station, and border control. Send her picture. She must be found and brought to me." His voice was cold, calculated, and menacing.Caleb nodded, his eyes wide with a mix of fear and obedience. He quickly pulled out his phone and began dialing, his fingers moving swiftly as he relayed his father's orders. The urgency in his voice was palpable, and he paced around making the calls. "Make sure she is brought back to me, no matter the cost," he growled, his eyes blazing with determination. "The Sawyer family will not be mocked. We will teach them not to mess with us."Caleb nodded, his voice steady as he spoke into the

Chapter ninety Seven.The courtroom emptied as the judge announced a break, and everyone filed out, their faces a mix of relief and tension. Caleb's father stepped out into the hallway, his phone already dialed and pressed to his ear. As soon as the person on the other end picked up, he growled, "Tell the judge she better favor the Sawyer family, or I will make sure to ruin her." With that, he ended the call, his anger and frustration evident. As he turned around, he was met with a surprise. Ethan stood behind him, a mischievous smile spreading across his face. His hands were crossed behind his back, and his eyes sparkled with amusement. Caleb's father flinched, taken aback by Ethan's sudden appearance. "You scared me," he said, trying to compose himself, and stretched out his hand for a handshake.Ethan's eyes lingered on the outstretched hand, but instead of shaking it, he chuckled and turned to walk away. Caleb's father's words stopped him. "Are you going to inherit Maria's e

Chapter ninety six.Just then, his father walked in, concern etched on his face. "What's happening?" he asked, his voice low. Caleb's anger boiled over. "That bitch made the court hearing tomorrow. How do I fucking get a lawyer?" he barked, his frustration and intoxication evident.His father's eyes widened in surprise. "She did what?" he exclaimed. Caleb shook his head, feeling overwhelmed. "I don't know what the hell to do. This is driving me crazy," he admitted, rubbing his hair in a futile attempt to think clearly. “I will kill that bitch.” As Caleb struggled to gather his thoughts, his father stood there, seething with anger. He was trying to piece together who could be behind Maria's sudden surge of power. It was clear that she and her family didn't have the influence or resources to pull off such a move. Someone big, someone with real power, must be backing her. But who?His father's eyes narrowed, his mind racing with possibilities. He knew that whoever was behind Maria'

Chapter ninety five."Tell her to fucking not get involved in this case. Either she's for me, or she's not. Period," he barked over the phone before abruptly hanging up. His father, attempting to intervene, advised him to calm down, but Caleb's rage wouldn't be contained. "I won't calm down. You don't know what's at stake," he snapped. "Maria wants to make a mockery of me, and I'll never let that happen."His father took a deep breath, his expression calculated. "We only have one option," he said, his voice measured. Caleb raised an eyebrow, intrigued despite himself. "What's the option?" he asked, his curiosity piqued."Ethan," his father said, and Caleb's eyes widened in surprise. "Ethan?" he repeated, incredulous. His father nodded. "Yes, Ethan is the only option." Caleb let out a harsh laugh. "We both know he won't help. He'll only have pride, he'll be happy to see me suffering in misery," he said, his voice laced with bitterness.His father hissed, a glint in his eye. "Wha

Chapter ninety four.Caleb walked into the sitting room, his arm wrapped around a laughing lady, but his steps faltered as he took in the tense atmosphere. His eyes landed on his brother, then his father, who was pacing back and forth, his face etched with concern. Caleb's gaze lingered on his father's disgusted expression as he stared at him and the lady. With a whispered promise to meet her upstairs, the lady nodded awkwardly and excused herself. Caleb cleared his throat, his eyes locked on his family's stern faces, and asked, "What's happening?"His father's hiss was followed by a curt gesture towards the file on the table. Caleb's eyes darted to it, and he picked it up, his voice laced with confusion as he asked, "What is this?" His father's response was gruff, "See for yourself." Caleb's hands trembled slightly as he unwrapped the envelope, his eyes scanning the contents. His face paled, and a low curse escaped his lips. "Holy shit! How dare the lawyer ditch us for Maria?"
