Chapter 191 Trust
Claudia couldn't shake the feeling of unease as she stared at her twin brother, James, who seemed more interested in his phone than addressing her question."Why did you lie?" she asked firmly, determined not to let the matter slide.James looked up from his phone, a smirk playing on his lips. "Lie? What are you talking about, Claudia?"Claudia's expression hardened. She wasn't going to let him evade the question. "Don't play dumb, James. You told me someone from our family's company was spreading rumors about our collaboration with the Willows. But I know you were the one who started those ‘rumors’. What you said holds no truth and you know that ."James sighed, his amusement fading slightly. "Alright, fine. I did it, but it's for the best. We can't trust others completely can we ?”Claudia's eyes narrowed. "Trust has to start somewhere, James. We can't build a successful relationship on lies and deception. What's your real motive for doing all this? Isn't it for his attention “Jame

The next morning, Sara sat in the cozy sitting room of the mansion, a cup of tea in her hands.Ethan entered the room, his expression focused yet calm."Good morning, grandmother," Ethan greeted, giving her a nod.Sara smiled warmly, "Good morning, Ethan . How are things going with the company and the Williams partnership?"Ethan took a seat across from her, "Everything is on track. The initial discussions have been positive, and we're moving forward with the planned collaboration."Sara leaned back in her chair, studying Ethan's demeanor. "Your father would be pleased to see the way you're handling things."Ethan nodded, "I hope I'm living up to his expectations."Sara's expression turned serious, "You're doing well, but remember, the business world can be challenging. Keep your wits about you and trust your instincts."Ethan listened attentively, "I will, Chaireoman ."Sara was a bit taken aback with his sudden distance then leaned forward, a twinkle in her eye, "On a different note

After Ethan left the room, Sara turned to Arva with a warm smile. "Arva, my dear, let me show you to your guest room."Arva nodded graciously, following Sara as they walked down the hallway.Sara led her to a beautifully appointed guest room overlooking the lush gardens.As they entered the room, Sara began, "I wanted to talk to you about something, Arva."Arva looked at her with interest, "Of course, Sara. What is it?"Sara's expression turned more serious, "You see, Ethan… he went through a lot during the time he was away from the family."Arva's eyes softened with concern, "I can only imagine how difficult that must have been."Sara continued, her voice tinged with empathy, "Yes, he faced challenges and hardships that shaped him into the person he is today."Arva joined in the conversation, "It's not easy to face the world alone, especially when you come from a family with such expectations."Sara nodded, appreciating Arva's understanding. "Exactly. And that's why I wanted to ask y

Chapter 196:" You've really Thought it through "
Arva took a deep breath, trying to find the right moment to bring up the topic she had in mind.The atmosphere in the restaurant was calm, with soft music playing in the background, and the dim lighting creating an intimate ambiance.Finally, she gathered her courage and said, "You know, it's surprising that the Willow family would give everything to the newly joined member, Ethan. I always thought the Willows' princess is the one who everyone believes deserves to be the president. Don't you think so, Ethan?"Ethan glanced at her, his eyes reflecting a knowing look.He replied calmly, "If you're talking about Lilly Willow, I haven't met her personally."Arva pretended surprise, "Really? You haven't met her? She's the brightest person in the family and the one who should be leading the Willows. It's a shame she chose to study Medicine. Otherwise, she would have brought the Willow family into the top three families worldwide."Ethan remained composed, understanding Arva's intentions. "I

Chapter 197: Why are they together?
Unknown to Ethan, James happened to be with Claire at the same restaurant, and as they entered, they couldn't help but notice Ethan sitting with Arva.James was surprised to see Arva with someone as she was known to be cold and unapproachable, but with Ethan, she seemed unusually friendly.James nudged Claire, trying to contain his surprise. "Hey, look over there. Isn't that Arva? And she's actually smiling and engaged in a conversation with someone."Claire glanced over, equally surprised. "You're right! I've never seen her like this before. Who's that guy she's with?"James shrugged, "I have no idea, but they seem pretty comfortable with each other."Curiosity got the better of them, and they decided to sit at a nearby table, pretending not to notice Arva and Ethan.They kept an eye on them, trying to eavesdrop on their conversation.As they pretended to read their menus, they couldn't help but overhear snippets of Arva and Ethan's conversation.Arva's voice sounded different, softe

Chapter 198: Robert's Hot Face
Ethan walked into his room with a dejected look, his thoughts still swirling around his conversation with his grandmother. Just as he sat down, his phone rang. Glancing at the screen, he saw it was Dan, his ‘dearest’ personal doctor whom he hasn't heard from since he moved from Houston ."Ethan! You won't believe what's going on," Dan exclaimed excitedly as soon as Ethan answered the call.“And to think, I thought you will start acting a little bit professional. Who would have assumed you will still act immature and annoying? Why I'm I not even surprised?” Ethan scolded Dan without giving him face .Dan who is in his lab coat and has yet to leave for the house held his nose in embarrassment and even forgot that Ethan wasn't in the hospital not to talk of Houston.“Okay, I know I'm annoying. But can you at least be a little nice? What I want to tell you is good news” Dan complained angrily.Ethan rolled his eyes and wanted to be done with this person as soon as possible.Ethan raise

Chapter 199: The Chairwoman Kidnapped
The day went by very fast and soon it was time to get off work.Ethan walked downstairs to his car and soon arrived at the mansion which looked like a palace everytime he looks at it.He was still a bit lost in thought about his invite to Brian farewell party. He knew there is no way Steve will not invite Leona.But he also did not want to have anything to do with her anymore as she always gets into trouble when she is with him.He knew he didn't want to admit it before but he knew deep within his heart that he has fallen deeply in love with that stubborn and strong headed actress.But he also couldn't do anything about it. “This is for the best”. He murmured to himself .He was brought back to reality by the absence of his grandmother when he entered the mansion. Confused, he glanced around and noticed Charles giving him a nervous and worried look."Welcome , young master . You are home early today," Charles remarked trying to sound cheerfulEthan nodded as he quietly looked at

Chapter 200: Scott
“She… she “ Charles stammered .He was confused with what was happening and for the first time he was in such a dire situation.And this also happened in just a few weeks after Ethan arrived .This could only means…..But this is also not the time to dwell on what this means . Ethan's gaze turned even colder, his voice demanding, "Charles, speak up. It can’t be that cat got your trouble now , is it ? What do you know about my grandmother's whereabouts?"Charles shifted nervously, feeling the weight of Ethan's intensity. He felt so intimidated with Ethan’s voice that he was surprised .Even the chairwoman doesn’t have such imposing character about her ."Young master, I'm afraid we don't know where she is. Her location is untraceable at the moment." He said. Ethan's lips curled into a cold smirk. "Untraceable? That means someone on the inside might be helping them. There's no way the Willow family, with all its influence, can't find out something if there isn't an insider involved."
