President director
Joshua did not respond, sending the atmosphere into an eerie silence.An enraged Mr Celeste raised his right hand, signalling his bodyguards to surround the Velvet Vault and forbid everyone from capturing this in photos or videos.Delilah and Daran continued to try to rebel while shouting apologies to Mrs Bernita, which were completely ignored.The visitors criticising Mrs. Bernita fell silent in the face of this situation. And Joshua's silence they took as fear for having lied."So you can't call him here? Manager Joshua, I have long questioned your origins. Now seems like the perfect time to show the world that you're a fraud trying to rob other people's businesses!" exclaimed Mrs. Bernita, pointing Joshua right in the face.The young man who didn't like being pointed at instantly turned sour, and he stepped back two steps.Even so, his mouth did not open to say a word.Whispers that cornered Joshua began to be heard. This made Ariana secretly smile happily as the bad situation had

Blaming Each Other
It didn't take long for the public to be shocked by the news of Ethan, the CEO of Pasaraya Grant.The man who was once known as the son-in-law of Celeste's family, the poor loser who married into a rich family using many tricks, as well as the man who became a burden on his wife's family, now in a short period of time suddenly turned into the CEO of two very famous places.No one would have expected this. Even some people who disliked Ethan from the start continued to try to deny this fact. They believe that this is just a mistake and a game of journalists who want to create a stir.But they forget that something like this wouldn't exist if the people concerned didn't speak out. In the released article, it is clear that Ethan and Great Master Grant stand side by side in confirming the current ownership of Pasaraya.Not yet done with the shock, Velvet Vault suddenly released a social media post stating that Mireille was the Brand Ambassador.These two blows, in quick succession, were c

Witnesses and Evidence
"Before saying what I'm here for, I'd like to first thank the media for coming. I also want to apologize. There has been a lot of confusing news lately, and you must have a lot of questions. I didn't mean to create a situation like this, but there are times when I can't help it because I don't live alone in this world." Ethan looked very authoritative and sincere when he said this.The atmosphere in the press conference room became quiet. Everyone was focused on him and eagerly awaiting what he had to say.However, when they heard this, one by one, the people present spoke up, rejecting Ethan's apology, which was not his fault.With this attitude, the public's view of Ethan was even more favorable—a good CEO who others had played. Everyone flocked to him with words of praise and wished him the best."You must be asking about Pasaraya Grant, but I'm not here for that, so I'll just say a few words." Ethan paused his words for a moment and looked at everyone seriously. "It's true, I got

Face Sketch
The atmosphere in the living room of the Celeste family's main house was very quiet, listening intently to what Ethan was saying.After he finished, Aiden chuckled softly while leaning his back. Then he said while shaking his head in amazement. "He's completely different, not like the old Ethan. He even boldly revealed the matter of his client's abduction. It seems like there will be a bigger war soon."Then he looked at everyone there with a satisfied smile. "We don't need to think of any plans anymore. He's at war with someone else, wouldn't it be great if we were spectators and waited for his defeat? When that happens, we can cheer him on and stomp him harder, making him the most miserable creature in the world.""What Aiden said is true," said Grand Master Celeste as he looked at his son. "Forget about your plan for now. This kind of situation is better for us to be spectators."However, instead of responding with similar enthusiasm, Mr. Celeste and Ariana stiffened with expressio

Paparazzi
"Explain what?" Mr. Celeste looked confused.Of course, that made Grand Master Celeste's anger even more intense. "You're still asking? Albern, do you think you can hide it forever? Look, a policeman is coming to see you upfront. How are you going to explain that?""The police?" Mr. Celeste's body instantly became tense. He looked at Aiden and Alvina in turn. "Is that true?"Aiden's expression changed as he looked at his father this time, but he still answered, "Yes. They brought a sketch of your face.""Explain, Albern!" snapped the impatient Grand Master Celeste.Mr. Celeste's gaze returned to his father. He did look tense, but he didn't look the least bit afraid. In fact, he was still able to say, "Father, I think you've guessed the reason, so there's no need to explain anymore. Besides, there's no need to worry. I won't get into trouble. Just take it easy."The look on Grand Master Celeste's face changed as well. "What do you mean?""We have good lawyers, they should be able to ha

Test
Ethan stretched his body with a smile on his face. Then he turned his chair to face the window, looking up at the sky that was perfectly clear without a single cloud. Apparently, even the sky knew he was in a good mood today.He wasn't doing this for the chief thug who had kidnapped Mr Leif and his wife but for himself.Ethan's smile grew even wider. Just a little more... just a few more steps before Celeste's family was completely destroyed.After taking a deep breath, he got up, grabbed his coat and carried it outside. "Hazel, I want to see the tests that the personal bodyguard did."Suddenly, Hazel, who was typing something, raised her eyes. "Yes, sir."Then she finished her work and followed Ethan in a hurry.Since some reporters were still in front of the building and Ethan was too lazy to look presentable, they chose to exit through the basement.Every security guard recruited by Zenith Corp had its own training ground. It was in a building not far from the company. But if they

Trust him
During the series of tests, Ethan was really paying close attention. Not because he wanted to choose a personal bodyguard more carefully, but because he felt a new spirit when he saw those who were so serious about the competition.Basically, the 20 men selected were the best in every aspect, so the tests were fierce.During the archery test, there were only three people who scored six and were eliminated right away.For now, the second test was to run through some obstacles."Is this all prepared by him?" asked Ethan as he looked at some media that was transported to the courtyard and placed where it should be."Yes, sir. The Chairman wants personal bodyguards who are tough and can deal with any situation. He doesn't want to be missed and end up with a loss," Hazel replied.Ethan nodded in understanding and looked at the participants who began to undergo the second test.However, his body immediately stiffened when he saw that it was Elio. The man passed all his hurdles with ease and

One week
"Mr. Leif, thank you for dinner and the chess game. I really enjoyed it," said Ethan who was near his car, facing Mr. Leif.Mr. Leif's wife wasn't allowed out because it was late, so she was afraid of the wind. Meanwhile, Hazel was already in the car after saying goodbye."I'm glad to hear that. I hope Mr. Ethan will still be willing to come to my house and do what we did earlier," said Mr. Leif who was still overwhelmed with happiness. "My wife loves a crowd and this is the first time we've had guests. You can see for yourself, that she is very enthusiastic about your presence.""Then I will often ask Hazel to accompany Madame." Ethan smiled slightly.He knew very well what Mr. Leif's wife was feeling. The difference was that she had a husband who loved her so much that her life in this big house was not so lonely."Thank you. I look forward to seeing her." The gleam in Mr. Leif's eyes grew brighter.But a moment later it turned serious with an expression that looked strained. "Mr. E

Gossip
Just out of the meeting room and about to head to his room, Ethan was confronted with the sight of his employees busy talking about something while looking at their cell phones.His steps slowed down, and he watched them intently. They didn't even notice his presence and continued to gossip. But even so, their voices were so low that he couldn't hear anything.Suddenly, Ethan's expression became grim.Hazel, who realized that, rushed over to the group of employees and said loudly. "Did you guys come to the company just to gossip? It seems like you have too little work to have so much time for unimportant things like this!"Everyone was startled and turned their heads quickly. Instantly, they were wide-eyed at the sight of their expressionless boss.Fear began to fill everyone's hearts, and they looked down deeply, not daring to open their voices at all."If you don't want this job anymore, you should hand in your resignation letter," Hazel continued firmly. "That way, you can gossip a

Don't Want to Meet
Facing back-to-back questions with demanding expressions like this clearly terrified Ariana.She had never faced anything like this before, especially when other reporters joined in with more pressing questions."Sorry, I don't understand what you're asking. Please don't discuss things that shouldn't be. I'm here to ask for your support for the slander that attacked my father," said Ariana, trying to calm down.But the people only intensified and were now even standing with their eyes wide with curiosity."Miss Ariana, how can you call it something it's not? This is your problem, and you can't run away from it.""Do you perhaps want to deny it?""Please give an explanation regarding the circulating video. Ms. Ariana, is that true? You had an affair but filed for divorce first?""Miss Ariana, do you really not know anything about Mr. Ethan's identity, who turned out to be the CEO of Zenith Corp? Is that also why you had an affair and divorced him because you thought he was poor?""Now
