Ethan frowned, looking sternly at the man who had stolen the phones. "You said I should forgive you. What did you do?" he asked with controlled anger.The thief was panicking, his voice trembling as he confessed, "I stole phones from the shop yesterday."Ethan's anger surged, and he couldn't contain it any longer. He angrily raised his hand and slapped the man twice, his frustration evident. "So you know the nonsense thing you did, right? Do you know a phone store would have lost $10,000 because of you? I had to pay for that money because you were near me?"The man fell to his knees at Ethan's feet, begging for forgiveness. "Forgive me, sir, forgive me. I didn't want to, but I didn't have a choice," he cried.Ethan's patience was wearing thin, but he continued to press the man for answers. He held his collar, raising him up to face him directly. "You didn't have a choice?" he questioned, his voice sharp with frustration. He slapped the man again, unable to comprehend the justificatio

When they went back into the car, Anthonio looked at Ethan and asked"Boss, did you have to pay so much money?"Ethan laughed hard. "You wouldn't understand, I've passed through a lot, I know how this can go a long way for her. Also you see that tears mixed with blessings the woman delivered, it would follow me and make me more money than I gave."Anthonio nodded lightly even though he was confused. Ethan took his phone out and made a call to Victoria. "A hospital building would be added to my project." He said and ended the callSlowly the weeks passed by, the project of Ethan also continued nicely. On this day, Ethan was still in bed when he received a call from Victoria. He answered and immediately noticed the happiness in her voice."Thank you so much, Master," Victoria said excitedly, "my brother just told me that my dad's transplant was successful, and he's recovering."Ethan's smile widened, genuinely happy for Victoria and her family. "That is wonderful news! I'm glad to hea

"Yes I have a business meeting, but I don't even know who it was since we only spoke through a phone call, I'll just go and meet the person then we will discuss."Ethan nodded. "I'm happy you are growing day in and day out, what about your stuff with Aureus, how is it going?" He askedSophia looked at him and smiled. "Aureus is a blessing, I pray the CEO is blessed and reaches greater heights. Since the day everything went well, I've been earning well and moreover it has given exposure to my brand." She saidEthan nodded and said, "I guess with Aureus and your hard work, you'll grow bigger."Sophia nodded and replied, "I wish I knew this CEO of the company."Ethan's heart thumped at her words. He gave a fake smile and asked, "Why do you want to see him?" He intentionally injected a hint of jealousy into his voice.Sophia looked at him, hugged him, and then raised her head to meet his gaze. She asked playfully, "Oh, are you also jealous?"Ethan responded, "Me? Jealous?" He shook his he

Sophia couldn't help but laugh at Maxwell's question, a bitter chuckle escaping her lips. "One, Ethan would never force someone to be with him; that makes him different from you," she retorted defiantly. "Two, despite the fact that he's not wealthy, he's kind and loving. Even if you were as rich as Elon Musk, I'd still choose Ethan over you," she declared with unwavering conviction.Maxwell's features contorted into a sneer, his arrogance showing. "Tell me, have you both had sex?" he probed further, his tone dripping with malice.A flush crept up Sophia's cheeks, but she refused to give him the satisfaction of a response, maintaining a defiant silence.Maxwell's laughter reverberated through the room. "Judging by your expression, it means you both haven't. That's nice," he taunted.Sophia's frown deepened, and she tried to fabricate a lie. "We have, who said we haven't?" she countered, attempting to sound nonchalant.His laughter only intensified, as if he saw through her words. "Yo

Cory was also shocked and asked, "Brother, do you know him?"Ethan nodded with a fierce expression in his eyes, his anger palpable. "That bastard lied to Sophia," he seethed.Just then, another popup appeared on the computer screen, capturing everyone's attention.Lady Byte spoke urgently, "Master, I'm accessing Maxwell's phone. It's on, and he's even recording something. I can tap into the feed for you, although it's technically illegal."Ethan's anger flared even more, his voice resolute. "Illegal or not, he'll regret this when I get hold of him. Tap into it," he commanded.As Lady Byte skillfully worked on the computer, a video opened up, leaving everyone in the room in shock.Ethan stared at the screen, his heart sinking. It was Sophia, lying on the bed motionless.Cory turned to Ethan, concern etched on his face, and asked, "Brother, is that Sophia?"Ethan's expression was a mix of anger, fear, and desperation as he nodded. "Yes, it's her. We need to act fast."He asked Lady Byte
