Ethan was finally able to get out of the restaurant. He walked down the restaurant street and someone almost hit him with luggage.“Please we are going to pay”, the old woman begged.“When would you pay? "It’s been two years and I think you are starting to take me for a fool” The other old man said, raising his voice at a high pitch.“Please, I’m trying my best to pay up. "If my husband was still alive he would have paid and, you know, we always pay earlier” The woman knelt down begging him, but he refused.“Is that not the reason I left you alone for a year? "Your husband was a good man, but won’t you pay? "It’s been two years, and you still can’t do anything by yourself!” He yelled, snapping his hand from her grip.“Please don’t do this to us. "We have nowhere to go. "I have no family or friends I could call” She started crying while the kids watched their mother struggle with him.“Go and sleep on the street then. "I also need money and if you can’t pay then you should leave and le

Ethan watched his left and right to be sure he was not being followed before he left and went home in a hurry.“Are you sure about this? "What if he was just there because he didn’t want to stay around his territory?” Liam must have been trying to make sense of it.Then he could have gone anywhere? "Why closer to my own company? “ Ethan rolled up his sleeves and his mom slowly opened her eyes again.“Mum” He walks up to her quickly.“You’re not speculating it son, but I’m afraid he might have already done the damage just waiting for the result,” she said, and this makes him even more impatient.“Bring me all the files on our staff, all of them! "I’m going to catch the bastards who might have been feeding him with details on our company”, Ethan ordered, and Liam's eyes went wide.“How are you going to do that? "Do you know how many workers we have in the company in total?” Liam questioned him.Ethan would have fired him on that spot, but that was the first time he would question his or

“What do you want me to do now?” Zara was on the phone with Ethan.“I don’t know, just find an excuse to leave there early, and I felt stupid having gifted her that necklace now”, Ethan replied over the line.“I can’t do that. "She's like a fan to me and I don't want her causing scandal for me. "I don't trust that bitch. "She can do nonsense and tries to mess with me,” Zara confessed.“Look dear, she is not going to do anything, okay? "Just calm down and talk to her normally and if she asks how you know me, then tell her we just happened to be sitting at the same table that day, and I was a fan too,” Ethan suggested.“Gosh, I don't like this! You know how bad I’m at keeping things in. My facial expression always fails, and I might just end up slapping her” Zara signs.“Don’t do that if you don’t want your career in a trash bin because of her, she’s not worth it, and you know that, right?” Ethan switches the call to a video call.“Where are you?” I’m at the office going through files.

Sophia giggles as she finally achieves her aim, she swings her hips in cycles and sits down enjoying the rest of the wine.Brian soon walks in. Sophia had already texted him her location. “You look beautiful, my love.” Brian was amazed at how beautiful she suddenly looked tonight.“Of course I’m and guess what? She said that my fashion sense is great. "I mean look at me, I didn’t even put too much effort into it.” She stood up, turning around for him to see.Brian was unable to say anything. He wondered how he was able to have her as his own because she was just too beautiful. “You look stunning and believe me, right now, I think you’re more beautiful than Miss Zara.”“Oh my goodness, you make me already feel like what I had planned will go well”, Sophia giggles.“What did you plan?” Brian frowns and takes his seat. He could still smell the scent of another person there, and he wanted to believe it belonged to Miss Zara.“Don’t worry, I might be compared to Miss Zara soon, and I will

The door burst open and Sophia almost fell from the sudden outburst. “How dare you!” Henry was foaming in anger.“How dare me what?” Sophia acts ignorant when she's aware of what her father is talking about.“You mess with Zara Bennett? Are you crazy? Do you think she's Ethan? That you could use and dumb however you like? The media is blowing up in your favor, and you think it's okay?” Henry couldn't believe how careless his daughter could be.“I didn't do anything! "It's not like I'm the one controlling people to be against here, they just see something better and want it.” She shrugs.“Don’t tell me that! "I know you did this and, trust me, you really don't know what you're doing to yourself. If her family takes this up with us, we will be buried underground like we never exist at all.” Henry feels frustrated about what she did.It's already done and there's nothing I can do about it. Measures have already been taken, but it's not going to end like that.One thing he learned about t

Henry And his son came to a halt in front of MACFORD bank. This was their last straw of hope of getting the funds they needed. As Henry stood before the tall building, he could not help but fiddle with his sweaty palm. He could recall vividly when his company was still ranking at tenth and every bank kept on approaching them and asking them to take a loan.But now, not many banks are even interested in listening to them. Both of them took the elevator and went straight to the Manager's office and as expected, the Manager claimed to be busy because he was trying to brush him off.Yet they remain reluctant and not ready to leave until they have achieved their purpose of coming here.At some point, they were becoming exhausted and impatient. Max could see that the manager wasn't busy inside, but each time they spoke, they were told to wait because the manager was busy, not able to bear it any longer. Max rushed over to the cashier, his eyes brimming with rage.“What the hell is going on

The president of Rico Corporation had a stern expression on his face as he sat in the large armchair in his office.

I am not so certain that he would be ready to show up. In this case, he might decide to buy his way out.His right hand man carefully explained the situation to him and even though he knew that he was right, he didn't say a word while thinking it through for a long while.“P
Chapter Seventy Nine
As Ethan arrived back home, there was a mixed feeling inside of him while he thought that he had probably handled things the wrong way and there might have probably been better ways to avoid the situation.But as he arrived back home, he had noticed Zara's car in the driveway, yet there was no sign of her anywhere. He took his bath, got changed into a better outfit before walking over to the balcony and was stunned to see Zara seated there with a glass of wine and her gaze fixed outside the swimming pool.“Ethan! "You are back!” A flash of excitement raided her face as she rose to her feet and gave him a quick hug.“I saw your car outside but wasn't sure you were in here”“Yeah, I just thought that I should cool off. So go ahead and tell me how the date went with this strange girl. Were you able to get all the information that you were hoping to get?”She asked, but he groaned and finally sat next to her, pouring himself a glass of wine.“Yes I did, and she is not the kind of person I

Once Henry and Max arrived back home, they realized that Sophia was not yet back home. With the thought that she was having fun with Brian out there, they both fell on the couch with a sigh of exhaustion.“So Dad, what do you think about Brian's proposal?”“It's a good one if it works, but I think that even though the Bennet might be involved in what happened to us, going after them might be a wrong move because we might just end up provoking them further.”“Is that all you are worried about in the whole situation?” Max furrowed his brows as he stared at his dad in disbelief, but Henry seemed more confused while he stared at his son.“Is there supposed to be something else that I would be worried about?”“Brian invested a huge amount of money into our company and, despite it all, it all went down the drain, anyone would be so angry about this, yes he was angry when he came to my office two days ago and was seeking help from me and today, he walks in here with a lot of money and a prop
Chapter Seventy Seven
As Ethan and Sasha took a stroll back home, while Ethan had a wide smile on his face, the more he thought about the humiliation Brian and Sophia had gone through, the more satisfaction he got as he played the whole scene in his over and over again.But Sasha, on the other hand, had a deep frown on her face. There were so many things she kept on thinking about, yet she didn't have the gut to ask him about them.But after walking for a while and realizing that Ethan wasn't ready to give the answers that she sought, she stopped walking and turned to him.“Are we not going to talk about what happened?” she bit her lips, trying to contain the rage that was slowly building inside of her.Ethan also stopped walking, seeing the sore expression on her face. “Oh, I had no idea that you wanted to talk about it.”“Are you for real Ethan? You had no idea that I wanted to talk about the fact that Sophia Steele is your ex-wife and I just found out that you were also dating Zara Bennet. Now I underst
Chapter Seventy Six
Ethan crossed his legs while he felt so relaxed as he watched the wines and food being served to them. He was very conscious of the price of this wine and couldn't wait to see the amount of wealth that Brian had acquired for him to be able to afford this wine.“So, Miss. Sophia, how do you know Ethan here?” Sasha tends to grow more curious seeing the cold attitude both Brian and Sophia have been displaying.“He was my ex-husband, my broke ex who had nothing, yet I took him in and fed him. At a point, I just couldn't continue and had to let go of him.”She shrugged, staring down at Ethan, yet he remained calm, a blank expression on his face.“Ethan, are you okay sitting here and watching them treat you in such a manner?”“It's fine, I have been here on several occasions, and I am used to it”, he assured her as he whispered to her, and the more he stared at her and the concern in her eyes, Ethan was starting to believe that she was truly not a spy.Sophia and Brian enjoyed themselves so
Chapter Seventy Five
Sasha had immediately recognized Sophia as soon as she stood before their table. She was a model and, not to mention the fact that she had been involved in a few scandals lately, it was only natural for her to be familiar with her.But what Sasha could not comprehend was how Ethan would be familiar with someone like Sophia Steele, and she could see the uneasy feeling on his face.“How can someone like you be able to get in here?” Sophia asked, her eyes brimming with intimidation. Brian had just landed more wealth and, for her, she felt like she was on top of the world.“Sophia, please, I don't want any trouble. How about you go ahead?”“Trouble, of course, I am not here to cause trouble. I was only hoping to have a good meal, yet I had to meet you here and, since we haven't met in a while, wouldn't it be nice for all of us to stay at one table?”She suggested, her gaze turned to Brian, who seemed to have liked the idea. Ethan was about to refuse when Sasha touched his hand.“Ethan, yo
Chapter Seventy Four
Sasha stood outside the restaurant for hours waiting for Ethan, but there was no sign of him anywhere. Her entire bones were becoming cold as she fiddled with her fingers.She felt this lump in her heart, knowing that she had just been stood up by this man and even when she thought about calling him again, just to be certain that everything was fine, but after thinking about it, she kicked against the idea.After a long while, Sasha was exhausted from waiting. The thought of it almost brought tears to her eyes, but as she turned around and was about to leave, she heard someone calling out to her.“Sasha!” The voice sounded so much like Ethan but even as she came to a halt, she was forced to believe that it was her ear playing tricks on her until he called out to her again.“Sasha!” That was when she finally turned around and saw a man dressed in a worn-out outfit running towards her. This brought tears to her eyes. She could not hold it anymore and cried uncontrollably.“I am so sorry
Chapter Seventy Three
It was dark, Ethan was all dressed in a warm shirt and ragged trousers and was about to step out when Zara walked into his room. At first, she was stunned to see her brother dressed in such a manner, but as she moved closer to him, she started to understand what was going on here.“So you truly are going on a date with that girl”“Yes, I just need to find out if she is truly a spy sent to me”“And how are you going to find out when you will be so lost in love and nothing else will matter to you?” She asked, but he ignored her question, staring at his reflection in the mirror from head to toe.“Wait, does it mean that she doesn't know about your identity?” Zara narrowed her gaze. For a moment there, she seemed even more confused.Ethan was reluctant to speak to her, but after a deep breath, he finally turned around as he held her shoulder.“There is something that has been going on which I didn't want to tell you about since I was afraid that you would become extremely worried.”“What
