Arnold quickly rose from his kneeling position. He felt embarrassed by his actions. He’d knelt before Ethan. What a humiliating experience. The whole family had seen him bow at the feet of a loser. That had to be the most terrible thing ever happening to him.Ronan Rogers frowned as he saw his and Ethan's conversation. Arnold had let himself be mocked by the useless live-in son-in-law. He was pretty dissatisfied. He couldn't do anything, though, because it was a bet, and he believed in fairness. Arnold had utterly misjudged Cassie, and this was his retribution."This should serve as a lesson to you, Arnold." I believe you will never doubt any member of this family's ability. I expect you to stop making irresponsible bets like this, especially with Ethan, as of today. It would be beneficial if you could learn to maintain your position as the eldest son in this household. Do not act or speak as if you are a youngster. You have a lot of responsibilities in this family, and one of them i

Cassie dashed to the opposite end of the room to take Demi's call. Her pulse was pounding against her chest because the outcome of the phone call would decide whether or not she would be appointed as the director of Rogers company. If the chairman declined the invitation, she would lose her chance to become the director, and vice versa.She spoke into the phone while holding the device with shaky hands. "I wasn't expecting your response so soon, Miss Demi. Have you spoken with the chairman? "I just got off the phone with him, and yes. I told him about the banquet and that he had been invited. He agreed to come.”Cassie almost burst out screaming. She couldn't believe she could persuade the anonymous chairman to attend the banquet. The man rarely attended renowned events, yet he was willing to attend their party. She was overjoyed that he accepted the invitation and, more importantly, that she would be appointed as the company's director. She had done something spectacular and nearly

The manager laughed as she crossed her arms across her chest. "Who do you believe you are to threaten me? How dare you come in here and speak to me like that?"She turned to face the security guards who had entered the building. "Take him away, and if he resists, bundle him out. I never want to see him here again. Keep that in mind."Mrs. Abby was in an uproar at the store as customers who disagreed with her attitude toward Ethan began to speak up. Others cheered her on and seemed thrilled that she was about to evict him. They were perplexed why a lowly man like him would try to raise a commotion in Ardini Enterprise.The security guards approached Ethan, but he appeared unconcerned. They would never force him to go if he didn't want to. When they arrived, they attempted to lead him out, but he remained immobile in his posture."You have the option to leave willingly without any further embarrassment, or they would be forced to use other measures to take you out." The manager cautione

Ethan departed Ardini Jewelry Enterprise, trailed by his entourage. When he walked out of the building, he noticed that people were still gathered outside, waiting for him to depart.They were trying to photograph him while others were videoing him. It prompted a commotion, and numerous individuals tried to push their way past Ethan. Instantly, he felt quite uneasy and urged his bodyguards to disperse the gathering and guarantee that no one continued to photograph him."Archibald, please handle everyone and make sure they stop photographing me. I don't want this to spark a riot on the internet." He spoke to Archibald, who bowed slightly. Archibald immediately asked several bodyguards to assist him in dispersing the gathering as Ethan directed.Although it required much effort, Archibald and the bodyguards soon dispersed the crowd."It's time to go, Sir. Everything has been handled properly.” Archibald told him."All well, then. You may get going. I have another place to go before I re

‘You have no business being here. You do not belong here.’Ethan was stunned for a few seconds. What had suddenly struck her? Why was she acting so strangely?"What do you mean by that, Samantha?" He inquired, hoping to have misheard what she had said previously."I believe what I said is quite self-explanatory." She responded quickly. "I don't have time to waste on you. I have things to do and hotel guests to speak with. Please excuse yourself from the premises before I summon the guards to do that. It would be embarrassing if you forced me to kick you out. That is something I shall despise doing."Ethan couldn't believe what he was hearing. Where did all of this come from? Why had she been so sweet to him earlier? He couldn't figure out why she was suddenly unpleasant to him. Did he say something incorrectly?"I didn't expect this from you, Samantha." Ethan spoke with disappointment in his voice. "I realize that the bodyguards were tough on me because they didn't know who I was. But
