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

Ethan stood before an old dilapidated apartment with a piece of paper in his hand.He glanced at the address written on the paper, “This is definitely the place,” he whispered.The stairs creaked under his feet as he slowly approached the door, rolling a key around his finger.A few seconds later, the door made a creaking sound as Ethan gently pushed it, taking out the key from the keyhole.The air within the house was stale and from all indication, no one had been there in a very long time.Ethan stood at the middle of what seemed to be the living room and an image flashed before him.“What? But I've never been here before,” Ethan whispered, rubbing his chin in confusion.“You came!” A voice suddenly rang out behind him.Ethan turned around to find an unfamiliar figure with a hat over his head that covered most of his face.Ethan could tell the man was smiling.“Who are you? And why am I here?” Ethan asked with a frown as he tried to figure out who the man was.The apartment had very

The second man gave a loud chuckle and attempted to grab the wristwatch from Ethan's wrist.“I wouldn't do that if I were you!” Ethan's terrifying tone caused him to instantly halt.There was something about Ethan that scared him. ‘Why doesn't he look scared?’ The man wondered.A part of him nudged at him to run but if he did, word was bound to get out that he wasn't as tough as he appeared to be, so instead he garnered courage and remained.“From where I'm standing, you boys have only two options.”The first man suddenly asked with a disdainful smile on his face, “And what are they?” He asked, flashing a concealed weapon for Ethan to see.Ethan remained calm, paying no attention to what the man had just showed him, “You both can either run off like two scared little girls or keep pissing me off and have my fists redesign your faces, your choice!”Both men broke into a fit of laughter.Even the one who had flashed a weapon at him was dazzled by Ethan's boldness.Suddenly he nodded hi

Gabriella stood at the door, knocking subtly but persistently.After several taps on the door, it finally swung open to reveal Ethan's calm exterior directly facing her.Gabriella froze for a few seconds, gawking at Ethan.“Ethan, who is…? Loretta instantly went silent as soon as she saw Gabriella.“You again? What do you want here?” She asked, scowling at her.Gabriella suddenly cleared her throat, “May I come in?”Meanwhile, at the other penthouse, Thomas appeared to be in a very bad mood.He had barely stepped into the living room when he learned that Gabriella had gone to see Ethan behind his back.“She's in the best position to do this Thomas, so just chill,” Daniel told him after seeing how upset he was.Daniel wasn't too surprised with Thomas' reaction though as he already knew his brother would take the news and it was the reason why Gabriella went without telling him.“You were in on this, huh? You knew she was planning to make a fool of us and you went along with it! How stu

Loretta glared at her father in shock, “What? You can't be serious, Dad!”“Dad why are you doing this?” Samantha yelled at Maurice.“I gave your sister a choice but…” “Let me stop you right there, son. It was my decision to give Ethan that position and it was also mine to keep him there, so don't blame the innocent girl for your decision. At least be bold enough to own up to it.” Ian furrowed his brows as he returned to his study.“Grandpa wait!” Samantha yelled as she ran after him, leaving Loretta with Nash and their parents.“Dad, so this is why you sent for me right?” Loretta gritted her teeth, glaring at all three of them before storming out.“Wait! Where are you…” But Loretta was gone before he could finish speaking.“Call Ethan and have him come get her!” Now damn it!” Maurice yelled at Sarah when she hesitated before picking up her phone.Nash on the other hand felt very satisfied as he exchanged glances with Sarah when Maurice wasn't looking.***Ethan was in the middle of a
