A steely stare of frustration was met with her fiery eyes. He sighed: "So, you're changing your mind?”
She gave him another playful glance, then said softly: "It’s your baseless bragging, not my change of heart.”
She added: "Besides, Toshan Bailey has disappeared for now. We'll continue this once he's found. I’m off to bed!”
With that, she buried her blushing face into the pillow. Ethan chuckled: "Alright then.”
With an air of finality, he immediately stepped outside and dialed a number, reaching out to Philip Bailay – the ostensible head of the Bailay household.
"A day has gone by, who put forth the bail to have your son released?"
Ethan'
Amanda swiftly grasped the essence of the situation, her eyes narrowing in disbelief as they darted toward the group: "What is your intention?""Intentions?"Young Master Green turned around, casting his gaze upon the modestly dressed Ethan and the youthful appearance of Amanda. A hearty laugh escaped his lips."I've just perused the transfer files of you both.""A subpar student from New Single dares to compete with my son? Hart's quotas are precious, you know."The receptionist too, with a smirk, commented: "I had advised against letting those of a lesser stature enter.""It would only dilute our school's average quality, severely tarnishing its esteemed reputation."
"How can they just replace the head of the All Sea Security Office?"Young Master Green lamented.The principal coldly retorted: "When you changed the registration quota of someone's child, did you ask if changes could just be made?"This left Young Master Green speechless.Amanda couldn't hold back: "Exactly, and you dare to question our identity from New Single? I'll prove our credentials to you."With determination, she stepped aside and dialed someone from her lineage.Even if the Fred family didn't have power in All Sea, proving their status in New Single was no challenge.Young Master Green disdainfully disregarded her and shot a
She once believed Ethan could achieve anything, but now she wondered if she'd been simply living a fantasy.The car pulled up at the All Sea security office building."Just wait for a bit while I talk to them." he instructed.She grew anxious, fearing he might misspeak.Ethan chuckled: "Relax. I assure you, this will be straightforward.""Please, situations like these are never easy to negotiate." Londyn sighed heavily.Though Ethan exuded an aura of ease, she had only ever known him to be good with his fists.As for the instances where he had previously helped her, she wasn't present, making her wonder if those were mere coincidences.
Following the lifting of the seal, the Londyn Corporation resumed its operations. Ethan lay on the bed, watching Londyn, fresh from a shower, hum a tune and wrap a towel around her wet hair. It was evident that their company had overcome its challenges. This woman, transparent as glass, never concealed her emotions, an endearing trait indeed. On the other side, London had officially enrolled in Hart Kindergarten. She was currently chasing Caradoc around the hall, seemingly in high spirits. Only after confirming that the little one's mood hadn't been affected by the school transition did Ethan sigh in relief. Watching the two lovely figures, one transitioning to a new company and the other to a new school, yet both steadily overcoming without any hindrance, Ethan felt a surge of happiness and relief. Just then, his mobile phone rang. Picking it up, he saw that it was Frederick, who had recently recovered. He instantly sensed the topic. Stepping outside the luxurious residential
How could she possibly not comprehend this moral principle? "But, we have no other choices, shall we alert the police?" Londyn pursed her lips. Jackson seemed to catch their words, his mouth broadened into a smile, quipping: "Call the police, you say?" "Let me tell you, even if you call the police, we are not afraid!" "Mr. Issac has numerous connections. If you dare, go ahead and call, let’s see who has worse luck!" Witnessing such arrogant and dictatorial demeanor, they were simultaneously furious and reluctant, yet rendered powerless. The group of workers displayed a resigned countenance: "This is, indeed, like trying to talk sense to a fool." "Indeed, a wicked person will not be tormented by another..." Absolutely. Their spirits immediately dampened slightly, recalling Ethan's previous words, they all felt Ethan was overly optimistic. Just as they were about to compromise, Londyn prepared to hand over money to provisionally resolve the issue. Suddenly, vrrrmmm! Another
Now, Ashton's eyes sparkled at Scarlett's insinuations. Others observed and chimed in: "Oh! Young Master Anderson is still smitten after all these years." "Destiny has reunited the two after years apart; it’s fate! Go for it, Young Master Anderson!" Someone even shouted: "Why not confess your love later?" "Yes, confess, confess!" "This is belated destiny, how romantic!" Hearing the chants from both genders, Ashton could only smirk confidently. "I'll give it my all!" “Yeah!” Ashton's affirmation caused a chorus of cheers. Seeing everyone so jubilant, Scarlett was amused but she said: "Honestly, I didn't mean to rain on your parade." "I've heard she's currently accompanied by a man named Ethan, who will also arrive shortly." The venue fell into pin-drop silence at her revelation, the previous exuberance evaporated. All eyes were fixed on Scarlett. Consequently, Scarlett felt compelled to relay everything that transpired with Londyn over the years. Including medical negligen
Stuart instantly scooped it up, his face breaking into a wide grin: "Ah, a diploma." Unfurling it, Stuart’s laughter became even more uproarious. "Damn, such high education, yet from a vocational school!" With those words, a clap of thunderous laughter struck the hall. "Good lord?" "A vocational school? Ha ha ha!" "Do any of us have anything less than a Master's degree?" The crowd was convulsed in laughter to the point of doubling over! All attention was now riveted on Ethan, sitting there, imbibing his drink in solitude. How could a mutt from a vocational school dare to leech off their queen bee, Miss Edwards? Truly, a shameless creature! Ethan saw it, but he hadn’t expected that he’d accidentally pocketed Jackson’s diploma. At that moment, Ashton abruptly stood, his laugh laced with scorn: "A vocational school mutt, huh? It seems even the qualifications to transfer goods at our company elude you." As soon as these words were articulated, another wave of laughter reverber
"So, not drinking anymore?" With Ashton ceasing his pour, Ethan chuckled lightly. For a moment, everyone seemed stupefied, never having imagined Ethan could drink so much. Ethan inwardly smiled, thinking, these young ones wish to compete in a drinking game with a titan like him? Back in the day, on the battlefields of his homeland, they drank potent brews from underground cellars, far stronger than these mediocre spirits. Ashton's face turned ashen. Getting Ethan drunk wasn't crucial, but if he continued, he risked endangering himself. Just as Ashton seemed caught in a dilemma, the room's door burst open! A woman, clutching her face, staggered in. Everyone turned, recognizing her. Wasn't that Stuart's girlfriend, Lauren Brooks? "Lauren, what happened?" Stuart inquired with concern. All eyes were now on her. Lauren Brooks clutched her reddened, swelling face, tears streaming down in rivulets. "Just now, some thug near the restroom leered at me with lustful eyes. I had a bit
