Chloe clenched her jaw tightly and smiled bitterly. "I didn't go to acting school, and the William family is the only place I can come to whenever I have a problem because they are my family."The corners of Lewis' mouth curled up into a proud smile. "Your family? Don't humor me, Chloe. If you care so much about the William family, you should've divorced your loser husband and married someone wealthier a long time ago!""You are nothing but a darn hypocrite! And the last thing our William family needs is a hypocrite!"He gripped her jaw tightly and violently pushed her to the ground.He sensed he was in danger and instinctively rushed to Adam's side.When he stood beside Adam, his eyes darkened in anger, realizing he had sprinted away from her just because he was scared of what Ethan would do to him.His eyes met with Ethan's, and the corners of his lips hooked into a triumphant smile."Did you come all the way here just to beg for alms? If that's all, then you should leave before I a

Lewis' head snapped towards the staff in disbelief. "What? My cousin got the job as Levi Cruz's assistant?"The staff quickly shook his head. "Not at all, sir. I suddenly just recalled seeing Chloe William at Pearl Hotel not too long ago. I think yesterday or the day before.""About who was chosen to be Levi Cruz's assistant, the company is yet to inform the general public."Lewis didn't care about who got the job as long as it wasn't Chloe, so he shifted his attention to what the staff mentioned the first time. "You said you remember seeing Chloe at Pearl Hotel. What did she go to do there?" The staff hummed lightly. "Pearl Hotel released an official statement on all their social media platforms announcing they'd be expanding their business. As a result, they need more hands on deck.""Your cousin has no business there. It's not like she can afford the simplest dish on their menu, so I think she went there in search of a job."Lewis' lips curled into a wicked grin as he looked at t

It took only a minute for three security guards to come rushing into the store and straight to where Ethan and the salesperson were standing.As soon as he saw them, the salesperson pointed at Ethan and said loudly, "I suspect this man right here to be a thief. I've asked him to leave nicely, but he insists on getting an apology from me simply because I called him a thief!""A thief?" The security man in front repeated and glanced towards Ethan.One glance at him, and he frowned, immediately believing the salesperson."You've not stolen anything. Good for you. If you do not want to spend the miserly money you have left to bail yourself from the police station, then I suggest you come with me now."Ethan stared straight at him and raised a questioning brow, "I came here to get a vehicle. Why should I leave with you before getting my hands on one?"The security man whipped out his baton and waved it in Ethan's face threateningly."What? Have you ever been to the police station? Maybe sl

"Hmph! I told you he was a thief, didn't I?""Guard the door very well. It would be very bad of us to miss an opportunity to teach this thief a lesson!""A pity what is about to happen to you. Ms. Stark gave you so many opportunities to back out and find a way out, but you refused to heed it. You only have yourself to blame now."Rickon Martell flicked his stylish watch to his eyes to see the time, then folded his hands on his chest and grinned at Ethan."Lucky you, my schedule is free today. So I have all the time in the world to mete out your punishment to you."After saying that, he turned to the three security men in the store and nudged his head at them. "Grab him and strip him of his clothes. Then drag him to my car."The security men nodded and quickly advanced towards Ethan. However, an icy glance from Ethan made their brains temporarily shut down.Their limbs halted, and their outstretched hands, which were ready to grab Ethan, hung midair.Their brains had sent a warning sig

Ethan stopped somewhere on his way back to the house and called Josiah Haworth.The man arrived a few minutes later with another who immediately began working on the Ducati.It took him less than thirty minutes to cover the 'Ducati' written on the motorcycle and anything that'd make Chloe suspect Ethan bought it for an exorbitant price.As Ethan climbed the Ducati after the man was done with it, Josiah stepped forward and cautiously suggested, "I could've ordered you a better motorcycle and had it customized for you, President."Ethan plugged in the key in the keyhole and turned it without looking at him. "I could've told you about it, but it's taking you so long to fix my Koenigsegg Jesko. I can't wait for a year to get a motorcycle. You can't exactly blame me, can you?"Without another glance at Josiah, he revved the car engine and shot forward with it like a bolt of lightning.Josiah sucked in his teeth as he watched Ethan disappear out of sight. Then he turned around and whipped o
