Just then,a voice interrupted them.

Ethan was having a meeting with top management officials of his company when someone notified him about someone causing a scene at the entrance of the hotel.

He hurried over to see what was happening.

He didn't Imagine he would run Into the young man Tyson Gray.

He clearly remembered the Instructions given to him by the Butler of the Carter family of DC.

He understood that Lucas was someone important to the current helmsman of the Carter family.

Although he and his mother were kicked out of the Carter family, the fact that the helmsman wanted to make peace with him meant that there was a possibility he might return to the family in the future.

The Carter family was among the five top families in Washington DC.

That was a status every other family dreamed of reaching.

It was a family that held immense power and wealth.

His family wealth could be multiplied thirty times and still not get half of their assets.

That's just how wealthy the top five families in DC were.

From the information he gathered so far, Tyson was indeed a live-in son-in-law of the Lewis family before he disappeared five years back.

Now that he came back, he had the brilliance Corp under him.Be also got inside news that the new owner of the sarit business Park was a young man with a last name of Gray.

He didn't think that it was a coincidence that it's said that the new owner Just arrived in Los Angeles and has the surname Gray.

Tyson fit all the descriptions but since no one had yet seen the new owner, he couldn't verify his suspicions.

Tyson was not someone to be trifled with, even without the help of the Carter family.That, Ethan understood very well.

" Mr Turner, this is Tyson Gray, the live-in son-in-law of the Lewis family. I was trying to get him to leave the intercontinental hotel to avoid embarrassing my family. But Instead if listening to me, he Instructed his lackey to beat up my bodyguards." Brian was fast to explain, making himself look holy while accusing Tyson for being unreasonable.

Looking at the young man blabbering about, Ethan couldn't seem to recognize him. But he could tell one thing, he was from the Lewis family.

" Who are you?" Ethan asked indifferently.

Although Brian felt humiliated that Ethan didn't seem to recognize him, he pushed his dissatisfaction and answered with a smile.

" I am the sole heir of the Lewis family, Brian Lewis." Brian introduced himself.

He was happy inside. After this, he might be able to make acquaintance with the helmsman of the Turner family. If that happened, he would make his grandfather more proud.

" Oh I see." Ethan replied.He wasn't afraid of offending the Lewis family.At this point, he knew which side to take.

Ethan was Ina dilemma. Tyson had requested him to keep his identity a secret.

" Who said Mr Gray cannot afford to dine at the intercontinental hotel?" He decided to ask as he figures how to handle the matter without exposing Tyson's identity.

" You might not know but Tyson is nothing but a penniless man. He leeches off what his wife earns from our company. There is no way he can afford to pay for the expensive cuisines served at intercontinental." While bashing Tyson, Brian did not forget to praise the intercontinental hotel. This was an act of bootlicking the Turner family.

Lucas sneered after listening to Brian's words.

Couldn't he make it less obvious?

Even a fool could tell what he was trying to do.

" Are you saying that the Intercontinental is a lousy hotel? Since Mr Gray is one among our important customers?" Ethan asked coldly.

Brian thought that he was hearing things after Ethan Turner's words registered in his mind.

Tyson Gray? The penniless good-for-nothing was an important customer of the intercontinental hotel? That was the most absurd and funny thing he has ever heard.

" Are you perhaps mistaken? Tyson cannot afford a regular dining card. It took me a lot of effort to secure one.How can he be someone important? Maybe that punk lied his way to you." Brian defended.

If Tyson could afford to dine at the intercontinental, he would as well start addressing him as father.

" Do you take me for a fool?" Ethan bellowed.

He could tolerate anything, but not people who didn't Know when to stop.

He obviously announced that Tyson Gray was an important customer, how dare such an ignorant fool question the authenticity of his words?

" Don't be angry, Mr Turner. I believe there's a misunderstanding." Brian still continued to explain himself.

According to him, there was no way Tyson could be acquainted with such a prestigious figure from Los Angeles to have him defend such a lowlife.

He figured out that Tyson must have bluffed his way out to get a golden dining card.

Taking long strides to where Tyson stood calmly with no care in the world, Brian berated.

" You good-for-nothing! How dare you use the Lewis family to get a card here at intercontinental? Are you out to embarrass us all? Do you believe grandfather will kill you if he learns about these? Quick, apologise to Mr Turner and ask for his forgiveness." Brian was so self-righteous as he scolded Tyson.

Watching him behave like a clown, Tyson averted his eyes indifferently. He couldn't be bothered to deal with a fool.

Besides, he wanted to see how Ethan would deal with Brian.

Ofcourse, Ethan could tell what was running through Tyson's mind. Be figured out that Tyson was testing where his loyalty lied.

Comparing the two people before him, Ethan knew that there's no way he could afford to offend Tyson. The Lewis family was a third tier family in LA. It was them who depended on the Turner family in business, not the other world.

It was clearly evident whose side he should take if he wanted to remain in Los Angeles.

" Enough!" Ethan shouted.

" How dare you come to the premises of the intercontinental hotel and create a scene. Not only that, you even offended an important figure and brazenly questioned my words. You not only offended me but also Mr Gray. From today, you are never to step foot in the premises and all other branches of intercontinental hotel.Your card will be cancelled with immediate effect." Ethan announced the verdict with a straight face.

The people watching gasped in shock.

For someone to receive such a punishment, he must have offended someone important.

They started conversing in low voices as to who the Young man was.

After hearing the punishment rendered to the arrogant Brian Lewis, Tyson could not be bothered to continue staying there. He took calculated steps to the entrance of the hotel before disappearing with Jordan in tow.

" What are you waiting for? Throw him away.He is to be blacklisted from all the hotels under the Turner family." Ethan said and the bodyguards behind manhandled Brian and kicked him out of the hotel.

His injured bodyguards were also dragged along with him and thrown outside the hotel.

" Damn that Tyson Gray!" Brian cursed.

" I will teach him a lesson the next time I see him." He was humiliated before so many people. He just hoped a word about this did not get to his grandfather otherwise he'll be doomed.

Brian left the intercontinental hotel and drove back to his family home.

He had a date with a lady from one of the top families here in LA, but his plans were ruined by that homeless dog. He swore to take his revenge on that piece of trash the next time they met.

Samantha had Just finished work and was about to head home when she received a call from her grandfather.

Ever since they moved out or more like they were chased away from the main Lewis family house, her grandfather rarely called her.

'What could he want at this time?' She questioned inwardly avd still proceeded to pick the call.

" Hello grandfather?" She greeted him respectfully.

" Let's not beat around the bush. I heard that your husband is back." It was more of a statement than a question.

" Yes." Samantha replied monotonously.

" Today in the evening, bring him over for family dinner." Her grandfather and the helmsman of the Carter family Instructed before disconnecting the call.

Samantha could tell that something was wrong judging from the man's gloomy tone but she shrugged it off as nothing.

Maybe she was just thinking too much. Tyson just came back. He was yet to cross paths with any of the Lewis main family members.

Just then, Tyson arrived in his jaguar.

He was just arriving from picking Tara from school before picking Samantha from work.

" How was your day?" He asked but got no reply from Samantha. She seemed to be deep in thought.

" What are you thinking about?" Tyson couldn't help but ask.

Turning to look at his side profile, she said, " Grandfather just invited us for dinner with the family."

The flowers looked planted though sh couldn't see how Tyson could do that. There were roses or all colours, carnations, chrysanthemums, ivies among others. Then she lifted her eyes, there, as she followed the path made by the flowers, was a huge mansion. No, it looked like a castle. The reason why she hadn't seen it was because it was hidden by a beautiful canopy of jacarandas. "It's beautiful!" She breathed and Tyson spoke in her ear, "it's yours love.""What?"

And if there was anything that Tyson hated, it was for someone, anyone, humiliating his Samantha. Thus, no matter the promise Carla had made, Tyson would make it happen. What Carla didn't know was that ever since he got married to Samantha, he made it his business to keep tabs on all her former friends.One thing that he noticed was that once she fell from glory, all her friends left her.

She noticed that since she started guarding Samantha, the other woman had less than ten decent clothes and she was only using those ones. Yes, she was very beautiful and any dress looked good on her but she needed more clothes. She was a boss herself and was the wife of an even bigger boss. Samantha didn't see the need of getting more clothes. But Carla had permission from her boss to do whatever she wanted with Samantha as long as it was for her good. Carla also loved Samantha because she was a good woman. She never, even for once, made Carla feel like a servant. No. Samantha always treated Carla like an equal and this made Carla treat her like her younger sister.
