Ethan left the Arthur's house, his mind filled with a renewed determination to make the partnership work. He felt refreshed, ready to face the challenges that lay ahead. He entered his car and drove away, his focus on the road ahead.As Ethan drove, his thoughts drifted to the Arthur family. He knew they were a formidable force, unwilling to give up their power and control easily. He couldn't help but admire their tenacity, even as he planned his next move. He was aware that gaining their trust and loyalty would not be an easy task.“It won't take long for them to give in,” he said with a smirk.Memories about how he lived his life at the Arthurs were refreshing themselves in his memory. The hate and resentment he has been trying very hard to forget all came crashing back into his head.

Leona was ushered into the hospital by the medical staff, her dramatic lamenting abruptly silenced. She maintained a smirk on her face, feeling satisfied that she had given Ethan a piece of her mind. As she walked through the bustling hospital corridors, she made a conscious decision to remain silent, relishing in the notion that her silence would provoke curiosity and further frustration in Ethan.Meanwhile, Dan, still wearing his surgical gown, hurriedly joined Ethan, who was being attended to by a nurse.

Are you injured anywhere else?"Ethan, still seething with frustration, pointed towards Leona without uttering a word. His cold gaze spoke volumes, conveying his annoyance and disdain.

Steve hurriedly left the three and ran towards Leona, who had just walked out of the hospital. She was startled to see the middle-aged man rushing toward her with such enthusiasm, unsure of what to say or do. She stood there, trying her best to recall where she knew him from.Steve reached Leona's side and took her arm, as if they had been friends for a long time. Leona was still at a loss, but she mustered a sheepish smile in response to the unexpected situation. Steve couldn't contain his excitement and began expressing his gratitude to her for something she had done for him at the mall that day.It's been incredible, Leona! And it's all thanks to you. Remember that day at the mall? You helped me find the perfect gift for my grandson. He loved it!Leona's eyes widened as realization dawned on her, and she joyfully clasped his hands. Her voice filled with excitement as she asked him if he was the same man she had helped at the mall. “Don't tell me you are the cool grandpa I helped “

As Daphne's friends approached the table, their eyes flickered with excitement and curiosity. They exchanged glances, trying to contain their enthusiasm. One of them nudged the other and whispered, "Imagine sitting at a table with someone as important as Ethan Willow. It would be so thrilling!"Her friend nodded, her eyes fixed on Ethan. "I can't believe our luck! This is our chance to get to know him better and maybe even make a lasting impression," she whispered back.They continued their hushed conversation, discussing various scenarios and strategies to engage Ethan in conversation. The excitement in their voices was palpable as they envisioned the possibilities.Meanwhile, Daphne's attention was solely focused on Ethan.

With Daphne gone, the smug look on Leona's face vanished, and she stared at Ethan with an expression of animosity. Her eyes bore into his, filled with a mixture of disappointment and anger. Without uttering a word, she gathered her belongings and thanked Steve for the invitation. Before Steve or Kate could intervene, Leona swiftly made her way toward the exit, her steps resonating with a visible anger.Steve looked at Ethan, a quizzical expression on his face. "Why didn't you try to stop her?" he asked, concerned about the sudden shift in the atmosphere.Ethan maintained a calm demeanor as he replied, "Was it necessary?"Kate interjected, her voice firm yet compassionate. "Yes, Ethan, it was necessary. Despite Leona's frustration with you, she still stood up for you. She defended you there.
