In a luxurious mansion, at a long dining table, several people were sitting elegantly. The shiny gold-colored table was filled with various dishes with wine and mineral water. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.Tonight was the night of the Celeste family's regular once-a-month gathering.The clothes they wore looked branded. Even the women wore a lot of dazzling jewelry with different hairstyles. Their laughter sounded cheerful as conversation after conversation was exchanged, making the atmosphere even more lively.However, among them, there was one man who just kept his head down, enjoying his food quietly. He was Ethan Aldebaron, the husband of Ariana Julia, the first child and grandchild in Celeste's family.His figure, sitting at the end, made him look even smaller. Especially because his clothes were very different from the others. The look was more simple and cheap. However, his facial features could not hide his good looks and refinement."Grandmother, I just won a big

Ethan's reverie was broken, and he looked to the side, right at the cell entrance, where the Old Man was.The older man smiled broadly, thinking Ethan would be surprised and welcome him. Or at least ask about who he was. But it was unexpected. The man was indifferent, leaving him dumbfounded. "Hey, what the hell is that reaction of yours?""You really don't care about my presence?" The Old Man spoke again when he saw Ethan, who still did not respond. "Insubordinate grandson! You don't want to be free, huh? Do you want to stay locked up in this cursed room?"Ethan's eyes widened when he heard the word 'grandson' come out of the Old Man.He slowly turned his head and asked in surprise. "Grandson? Who are you referring to?"The Old Man grunted and then stepped closer to the cell. "Of course you are. Who else is in this room but you?""But I'm not your grandson. You must be mistaken," Ethan said."How can you say that with confidence?" The Old Man glared fiercely as he banged his cane, ma

Then Ethan looked back at Grand Master Kinsey with an incredulous face. "Old man, so you don't trust me? Since yesterday, you've been talking about how much you care about me, but now you're acting as if I'm your new employee. How ridiculous!""I'm not doing this because I don't trust you. Ethan, you don't fully know about the intricacies of our family. I'm just anticipating that if one day you're faced with a lot of choices, you'll never have a dilemma. I just want to confirm your choice," explained Mr. Kinsey with great seriousness.Ethan slowly pursed his lips and was silent for a moment. Then he reached for a pen and placed his signature on the paper."You don't have to worry. My decision to follow you is absolute, no matter how long it takes. No one can interfere with it, let alone shake it," he said as he gently pushed the folder away."I'm a person who knows how to return favors, so I won't abandon you as long as you give me the strength to take revenge," he continued.His word

Two days later.The atmosphere in front of the court was bustling with news-hungry journalists. I don't know how they found out about this divorce, but it did manage to upset Celeste's family because it managed to attract one of the television stations and was aired live.To them, this was very inappropriate. Very embarrassing.However, the smoothness of the divorce proceedings made Mr. and Mrs. Celeste, who were on site, quickly brush off the annoyance. At least now, a fool like Ethan was no longer part of the family.As soon as the court doors opened, they stepped out with beaming faces."In the end, you're still eliminated. Ethan, what do you think? Don't you regret not getting a penny from me?" Ethan, who had just gotten up and was about to walk away, fell silent as soon as he heard Ariana's words spoken in a dismissive tone.Ariana also stood up, staring at Ethan's back with an arrogant smile. "Being able to marry me is an amazing thing. But you probably still don't believe it b

"Why are you silent? I didn't invite you here to sit here and watch the food. Eat up, there's no need to feel awkward," Ethan said, chuckling softly as he looked at Hazel, who looked serious and sat up straight like an interview employee.However, the girl still didn't move. She kept looking straight at the food in front of her. Even if you look again, her sitting position looks uncomfortable because she only sits at the end of the chair."Hazel, let's eat!" Ethan, who couldn't stand it, unwrapped the tissue from Hazel's cutlery and offered it to her. "I'm very hungry, so don't make me delay any longer.""Sir." Of course, that made Hazel feel uncomfortable, and she immediately picked up her cutlery. But afterward, she returned it to its original place. "You can enjoy your lunch in peace. I will wait here without disturbing you."Hazel lifted her gaze and was met with Ethan's flat stare, making her sit up immediately. "Sorry, sir, I can't enjoy it. After all, you are my superior. It's v
