Ethan was a bit stunned. "You'll do all this right here?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper. Lily nodded and said, "I promise, Ethan, I will. I love you so much, Ethan, and I'll do anything for you." She reached out to touch his chest, but he pushed her back."I've said it several times, don't touch me, Lily," he said, his voice trembling with emotion. "Look at what you're shamelessly saying here. Everything you want to offer me, my woman will offer ten times better than that. You cheated on me with another man because of money, and the funny thing is, the man works for a company that belongs to me. Fast forward, you invited me one night apologizing, and that's because you were suspecting I was rich. After lying that I wasn't, you insulted me and called me all sorts of names. Now you know who I am, you're back to apologize. You're a gold digger Lily." He saidLily could only keep pleading. "Ethan, please," she pleaded, her voice trembling with emotion. "I know I've hurt you,

"What? $5 million?" Lily frowned. "You must be joking, Ethan."Ethan maintained a calm demeanor and replied, "I'm not joking." He then turned to Esquire Dera and inquired, "Please, is there any law that can sue someone for illegally demanding on properties?"Dera nodded affirmatively and stated, "Yes, master. According to section 342B of the Property Rights Act, any person found unlawfully demanding a share of properties without legal entitlement can be subject to a civil lawsuit. We can proceed with the case."Ethan smiled confidently, "Good. I want to sue her for $5 million. Let's teach her a lesson about the consequences of such demands."Dera nodded and said, "Okay, master, that would be after I have confirmed from Manager Campbell."Ethan acknowledged, "Okay, no problem. I'll gladly wait." He then directed his attention to Lily and warned, "You want to challenge me, Lily? You're playing with fire." After saying this, he added, "That isn't all. I also need your company, Lily. It's

Ethan held Sophia as they walked back to the celebration place.On their way, Sophia looked at Ethan and said with a smile, "You really amazed me, Ethan."Ethan stopped and smiled, asking, "Really? Did I?"Sophia nodded and replied, "Yes, surely you did."Ethan smiled and said, "Then I deserve a kiss for that.”Sophia smiled and kissed his lips. However, as they were kissing, someone walked over, causing them to quickly stop. It was Giselle."I'm sorry for interrupting your moment, Master Ethan," she said, then turned to Sophia and added, "I'm sorry, madam."Sophia smiled, reassuring her, "It's okay, there's nothing to worry about."Giselle continued, "First of all, I want to congratulate you, Master, on your upcoming wedding next Saturday. It's also a pleasure to be working under you.”Ethan smiled and said, "It's okay, Giselle. We've been classmates before, so it's cool."Giselle nodded and inquired, "You mentioned that the wedding will be at the hotel I'm managing."Ethan confirmed,

"What?" Ethan was shocked. "Sophia, I should give her back her company and take the lawsuit?" He asked.Sophia bit her lower lip and nodded lightly. "Yes, hubby, please."Ethan shook his head and said, "You know that can't work. I can't give her back her company. I've bought it and gotten the highest shares, so everything belongs to me.”Sophia sighed and said, "I understand. I'm not your wife yet after all. I'm not in any position to make such a request. Sorry for asking, hubby." She then got up from the bed, changed into her pajamas quietly, and came to sleep on the bed quietly.Ethan, who was worried, stood up and held her. Sophia looked at him wondering what he was upto. "Get up, please," Ethan said.Sophia nodded and got up, standing down facing him.Ethan pulled her closer, staring into her eyes, his hand around her waist, and said, "Please don't think that I don't value you. You're more important than my business or any amount I have. I can spend everything I have to gain you.

Charlotte hugged Lily, sharing in her friend's happiness. "Lily, it's never too late to change. I'm here for you, and we'll get through this together. Now, let's focus on rebuilding and making amends. This is a new beginning."Lily looked at Charlotte with gratitude in her eyes. "Charlotte, I can't thank you enough for being such a good friend, especially in my darkest times. Your support means the world to me."Charlotte smiled warmly. "Lily, friends stand by each other through thick and thin. I'm just glad I could be here for you.”Lily took a deep breath before continuing. "Charlotte, I've been thinking. Since I'm getting a second chance with my company, I don't want to go through this alone. I want you by my side. Will you join me as the manager of my company so we can build it together?"Charlotte's eyes widened in surprise. "Really? Are you serious, Lily?”Lily nodded sincerely. "Absolutely. I trust you, Charlotte, and I believe with you as my manager, we can make something grea
