She quickly called one the guards that she saw, “Guard!”“Slap…”But before she could say anything else, a heavy slap landed on her face, “You again? Didn't I just warn you?” The head guard suddenly appeared with a dark look on his face.He had been keeping an eye over the exclusive VIP section from a distance because of Ethan and had spotted Ariella loitering around the exclusive VIP section.Ariella yelled in pain as she quickly grabbed Jay's hand, trying to get him to defend her, “Guard, my girlfriend meant no harm, she only wants to have a word with that fellow in there,” Jay responded, pointing at Ethan through the transparent glass.“Slap…” The head guard slapped Jay instantly.“You both are constituting a nuisance here, get lost or I'll be forced to throw you out, I won't warn you again!” The head guard clenched his jaws.He had spotted Ethan staring in their direction so he quickly slapped Jay in a bid to curry some favor with Ethan.Jay's cheek flashed red from the slap he ha

Ethan sank into a sofa in his bedroom.Since Ian's penthouse had five rooms, all three of them occupied one each.Ethan's mind suddenly drifted to the small piece of paper and old-looking key the young lad at the park had given to him.He had been so occupied with improving Samantha and Loretta's emotional state that he had forgotten to check out the address on the paper.‘What if it was a trap?’ He thought to himself.He took out the key from his pocket, staring at it for a while.There were inscriptions on it that appeared strange to him.‘What if the lad or the man who hired the kid mistook me for someone else?’ He asked himself.Meanwhile, Mr. Wedge burned with rage as he paced continuously in the other penthouse.“Dad, I know you are pissed but you need to calm down!” Gabriella tried to get him to relax.“Calm down you say? That nobody made a mess of me and you tell me to calm down?” Mr. Wedge kicked the table in front of him, sending it flying instantly.“Who does he think he is

John Stewart began to apologize profusely, “Mr. Banks, I'm truly sorry for this embarrassment, I didn't sanction it but he rest assured that I will get to the bottom of this!” John Stewart crashed his fist into his desk, causing a loud bang that startled his subordinates outside his office.Ethan ended the call with a satisfactory smile dancing around his lips.Loretta folded her arms in front of her chest, giving the men a disdainful stare.“Hahahaha……” The men suddenly broke into another fit of laughter.They all held a similar condescending expression on their faces as they stared at Ethan.The leader suddenly took a few steps towards Ethan, snorting, “Was that performance meant to achieve anything? Come on, I'm sure you can do better!” He mocked Ethan.The leader and his men were initially troubled by Ethan's casual tone with John Stewart but after thinking about it for a while, they quickly dispelled the thought and concluded that Ethan was only putting up a show and had probably

Loretta scowled at Gabriella as the eyes of both ladies met.A certain uneasiness overwhelmed Gabriella.Loretta suddenly took a few steps to where Ethan stood and slipped her delicate hands into his palms, her gaze swiftly returning to meet that of Gabriella.Gabriella gave a slight frown as if responding to the non-verbal message from Loretta.The men from the financial crimes unit suddenly halted their search and returned to the living room where Ethan and the others stood.“Ahh..gentlemen, I see you are done with your search…..” Mr. Wedge suddenly halted in the middle of his remark as he spotted a familiar backpack in the hands of one of the men.Mr. Wedge's jaws dropped instantly as his gaze moved from the man with the backpack to their leader before finally settling on Ethan.Thomas, Daniel, and Gabriella also stared at the backpack and instantly observed the look on their father's face.“How….How….did you get that? Where did it come from? Did someone put you up to this?” Mr. We

Mr. Wedge chuckled, almost instantly forgetting what Daniel just said to him.“And after you have confirmed what I'm saying, I want you to also take these ladies into custody as well!” Mr. Wedge added.He remembered Thomas' tale about his first confrontation with Ethan because of the girls and he wanted both ladies to suffer for it as well.Samantha's gaze turned cold as soon as she heard Mr. Wedge's instruction to the officers. She wished Ethan hadn't previously spared him.Gabriella as well wasn't too pleased with her father's response. She didn't like the idea of Ethan going to jail, “Father, what have you got in those mobile devices anyway?” She suddenly asked him, causing Mr. Wedge to turn to her in shock.Something about his daughter's recent remarks have been somewhat confusing to him.He glared at her but smiled after a few seconds, “I'm sure our fine officers here are capable of finding that out for themselves.”Loretta felt more uncomfortable by the second. Her fears became
