Ethan drove while looking through his car's rear view mirror. He smirked but said nothing as he zoomed off. After leaving his house this morning, he noticed a car following him, not too far away. Most people wouldn't have noticed, but Ethan was different. He wouldn't let something like this escape his attention. To him, it seemed like child's play. He accelerated and went into a restaurant where he had a meeting with James and his sister.With an uncaring demeanor, he walked into the restaurant, feigning ignorance about being followed. "Good day, sir. Do you have a reservation?" a pretty waitress approached him, her face blushing.She was captivated by his appearance, especially his eyes. She had seen many people, but she had never seen someone with such captivating eyes that seemed to draw one in when they made eye contact.Ethan felt the change on her face, but he did not care and looked at his watch impatiently. He didn’t need to worry about disguising his eyes with glass anymore.

Ethan stood there without turning his head to hear what he had just said.James had an anxious look on his face and only realized what he had said after he finished speaking. He cursed inwardly about his actions, but he also knew there was no way he could justify himself. It would be better to just go with the flow."Ethan, I mean what I'm telling you," he said, hoping it would convince him."Oh, so there's another 'me' with my grandma, right? Isn't that what you're trying to tell me?" Ethan finally turned to look at him with a smirk on his face. "You want to tell me I have a brother or someone who is impersonating me back home? Or am I impersonating him? I think I'm not getting the full picture here. Please explain it to me."James clenched his fist and closed his eyes, hiding his emotions. When he opened them, they had all disappeared, and only a playful look was showing in his eyes."Well, I might have said something I shouldn't have. But you can choose to believe me or not. It's u

Ethan walked back home with a gloomy look on his face, and Steve, who happened to be the only person present, noticed it."Young master," he called with a worried look.Ethan stopped in his tracks and looked at him. "Is anything the matter?" he asked with a concerned expression.Ethan continued to stare at him and said, "Follow me," then walked into his study.Steve didn't know what he did, but he still followed him anyway."Now, will you explain to me how there is a 'me' back home with my grandmother that I know nothing about?" Ethan asked, placing his hands on his chest.Steve was shocked, as he knew Kate nor the rest would tell him about this."You were supposed to find out for yourself when you go back home," he said and realized he had said something he shouldn't have."What did you just say?" Ethan asked, a questioning look on his face.Steve swallowed a morsel of saliva, realizing there was no going back anymore."I think it's time you know. But before that, I would like to ask

As the leader trembled in Ethan's grip, his fear-stricken eyes darted around, desperately searching for an escape route. But Ethan held him firmly, his smile never faltering, radiating an air of confidence that sent shivers down the leader's spine."You should have thought twice before crossing paths with Brian ," Ethan said calmly, his voice carrying a dangerous edge. "Now, listen carefully. You're going to deliver a message to your boss on my behalf"“What again? Y..you have already said enough don't you think ?” the leader said in a trmbling voice. “Oh, you think I'm done. Well then sorry for the misunderstanding. I really do have something else to say” Ethan said with a grimace.The leader's voice quivered as he stammered, "W-What message?"Ethan leaned in closer, his eyes piercing into the depths of the leader's soul. "Tell her that Brian is under my protection now. And make sure she understands that crossing him will come at a price. And if she doesn't want to have a problem w

Ethan stood outside the ward, his gaze fixed on the slumbering Brian. Concern etched deep lines on his face, despite his attempts to mask his worry. He wrestled with his emotions, battling the guilt and responsibility he felt for the young heir.Dan approached him, a knowing smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "You care about him more than you let on, Ethan. He looks up to you, you know. Considers you an idol."Ethan turned his gaze towards Dan, a mix of pain and determination in his eyes. "He shouldn't see me that way. It's a futile admiration. I'm just trying to make him self-reliant, to protect him from relying on others."Dan studied Ethan for a moment, a newfound understanding dawning on him. He realized that Ethan's actions were driven not only by a desire to keep Brian safe but also to mold him into a resilient individual."He is the rightful heir of the Willow family, and you are guiding him in your own way," Dan stated, his voice filled with admiration.Ethan sighed, a
