Ethan Mark: Billionaire in Disguise Chapter 155: To Sophia
After Alexa’s words, to which Isabella understood everything she said and was in total agreement, she stepped out of her hotel room, walked through the grand corridor of the hotel, passed by the reception, and finally through the parking lot, slipping into her car.When she entered her car, she looked into the mirror once again, and if she didn't like what she saw, it was a lie.“Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, they say, but my own beauty lies in the eyes of everyone,” she muttered, then showed a gentle smirk on her face.Without any more time to waste, she pressed the button on the dashboard and had her car roar to life. Hence, she sped out of the parking lot and finally arrived at Ethan’s mansion.When she arrived at Ethan's mansion, as usual, she parked in the driveway at the gate. And because the security guards at the gate did not pave the way for her, she got out of her car and walked towards one of the security guards.Indeed, Isabella’s beauty was like angels' heavenl
Ethan Mark: Billionaire in Disguise Chapter 156: Enter The Mansion
Not having stayed too long at the entrance door, Ethan walked out of it like the gentle, perfect man that he is, and, of course, Mr. Smith was right behind him.To Isabella, it seemed that Ethan was ready for work. His attire was akin to a finely tuned instrument, with every detail in perfect harmony.His suit was impeccably tailored—a black suit that hugged his frame with precision. His shoes were polished to a high shine and made of black leather with a subtle sheen. His hair was meticulously combed, with each strand in its place.“What do you want?” Ethan asked gently, his eyes staring directly at Isabella without blinking.However, Isabella did not immediately answer Ethan's question. She continued to gaze at him, then down to his wrist and, of course, to the briefcase Mr. Smith was carrying right behind Ethan.On Ethan's wrist was an elegant timepiece, a slim silver bracelet with a sleek, minimalist face. The dial featured fine Roman numerals and delicate hands, conveying a sense
Ethan Mark: Billionaire in Disguise Chapter 157: It did not work.
Hearing this, Isabella was surprised. She couldn't explain how things had suddenly escalated from Ethan believing her words to whispering those words to her. At this point, it was evident that her beauty had failed her."My beauty failed me! Again!" she muttered to herself, watching as Ethan and Mr. Smith walked on toward their fancy car.In the same vein, she noticed another guard walking directly toward her. Without needing anyone to tell her the guard's intentions, she already knew and began to walk by herself. She moved away from the mansion's entrance door and toward the gate.As she walked on and the guard met her on the way, he said nothing. However, Isabella couldn't walk past him without hissing at the guard. Still, the guard remained silent and walked right behind her until she was outside of Ethan's compound and beyond the gate.At the gate's driveway, she slipped back into her car. Her face appeared rigid, like hard stones, showing obvious disappointment over the failed pl
Ethan Mark: Billionaire in Disguise Chapter 158: Back at The Hotel
"Fine!" Alexa said angrily."I will stop meddling with matters concerning you, and I will stop interfering in this plan. Let's see how much you can do without me. But just so you know, I promise you will fail woefully, like a dummy student who knows no right answers from the whole of the question set for him."Alexa shutting down immediately made Isabella drive on at fast speed to the hotel. When she arrived at the hotel, she didn't bother to greet the hotel receptionist, who had greeted her from the entrance door to the reception desk. All that Isabella did was walk on until she got to her room.If her anger was not evident on her face, it was also a lie. Her face looked as unbreakable and strong as a rock. Hence, when she opened the door to her hotel room and stepped in, she placed her fancy bag on the table, took off her heels, and rested on the bed.Like a wanderer who had made a tent in the middle of the wilderness and was resting to think ahead of his journey, Isabella thought a
Ethan Mark: Billionaire in Disguise Chapter 159: Room Order
"You should not be doing that, Isabella." Alexa's real voice suddenly sounded from Isabella's phone, which was inside her fancy bag.However, the fact that the phone was far away and her voice was not loud enough was a lie. Her voice was akin to a Bluetooth speaker turned up to the highest volume.Even so, Isabella thought at this moment that it was her imaginary voice occurring in her head. Therefore, she replied, "Why shouldn't I be doing this? I am practicing how to use this weapon in case that reporter comes; I will put a bullet in her motherf**king ass.""I checked all the CCTV cameras around, and indeed, all the ones in the whole of Eldridge. There are no traces of Elara. So you can put your mind at rest and stop doing that silly thing you call practicing."Hearing this again, Isabella still thought it was the voice in her head speaking, but not until Alexa suddenly and loudly cursed her, snapping her out of her hallucination with a louder voice than before. "Hey, you motherf**k
Ethan Mark: Billionaire in Disguise Chapter 160: How did Alexa Pay?
The room service having left, Isabella immediately voiced, “Alexa, how did you get the money to pay for this food?”“If you're worried I committed a very high crime, don't worry, I didn't,” Alexa said immediately.Hearing what she said, if it made any sense to Isabella, was a lie. “Is there even something like a low crime or a high crime?”“Well, Isabella, don't try to act like a saint here,” Alexa said.“What do you mean?” Isabella asked curiously.“You and I have been involved in one crime or another, so you are in no position to tell me what's right or wrong!” Alexa said.What Alexa said piqued Isabella's interest, as Alexa's attempt to ignore the question she had first asked her only meant to Isabella that Alexa had done something significant to have been able to pay for the special treat she got her.“What are the crimes you and I have been involved in together? Please, can you remind me?” Isabella asked.“Well, a lot, and if you think I won't mention everything, I will disappoin
Ethan Mark: Billionaire in Disguise Chapter 161: TheIr Sudden Agreement
"Did you just say I have a peacock’s mouth?” Isabella asked, her voice wrapped in her heavy breath, as if she had just finished lifting heavy weights.Hearing how Isabella sounded, Alexa pleaded, "I apologize for everything I said, Isabella. It's just that I want us to be great partners once again. Can we put every one of our disagreements behind us, please?”“How dare you try to compare me with you? I have never done anything bad to those who have never offended me. Ex-reporter Elara made me and my family a laughing stock on national TV, and through your help, I was able to get her fired. Ethan ridiculed my father and made him a common staff member, and I decided I wanted his wealth for myself. Is that so bad? I thought you were on my side."“I am on your side, Isabella, and more than anyone else, I want Ethan Mark to pay for what he did to Master Alexander. I promise,” Alexa said.“Then why did you do what you did? I am not a monster who feeds on the poor's money. These people are s
Ethan Mark: Billionaire in Disguise Chapter 162: The Next Day
The next day was accompanied by a cold morning that arrived with a hushed breath. The air was crisp and biting, stinging the tip of Isabella’s nose with each inhale. Similarly, the floor beneath her feet crunched with each step, and her breath hung in the air like a ghostly apparition.Since the previous night, Isabella had been awake, gazing at the clouds from her hotel room view. She sauntered around the room, pondering a more effective way to approach Ethan this time.Her thoughts barely escaped the reality of her past two days' failure in trying to win Ethan with her fake love. She contemplated what she could do differently this time to make her plan work.Alexa, on the other hand, had remained silent, emitting only a chime sound every few minutes, as Isabella had plugged her phone into the wall socket and instructed her not to speak for the time being.“I still don't understand why you told me not to suggest how to win Ethan's heart today,” Alexa suddenly said. Her female robotic

Chapter 245: The Tears And Redemption
Pushing her back into her prison cell like a reluctant pawn being returned to its square on a chessboard, Isabella fell on the prison floor, resembling a fragile autumn leaf descending with a surrender to the inevitable embrace of the cold, hard ground. No matter how her voice had risen in anger towards her mother in the meeting room, she knew very well that she wanted to read the contents of the letter in the envelope and discover the help Ethan Mark had promised her. "Would he file for my release?" "Has he bought me a home as a sign of my forgiveness?" "Would he take me back as his wife?" Different questions rushed through her mind like a tumultuous river, each query cascading over the other. As she held the envelope in her hand, she sat at the corner of her cell and stared at it much more closely. In this way, she saw that the surface of the envelope bore a faint trace of handling, like a blank canvas marked only by the weight of the untold. She also observed the edges, crisp
Chapter 244: What Was She Told?
As Isabella saw her mother through the glass panel, her eyes first peered at her face, which was fresh and glowing like a sun-kissing morning, radiating warmth and vitality. Similarly, she observed her hair, cascading strands of silk, flowing effortlessly, resembling a gentle waterfall gracing a serene landscape.But if that were all, it would be a lie. She also noticed her dress, which was as beautiful as a field of blooming flowers, each petal a vibrant hue, creating a tapestry of elegance. Likewise, her neck, ears, and wrists were adorned with jewelry, resembling constellations adorning the night sky, each piece a sparkling star in the galaxy of her elegance.Taking in this perfect image of her mother, the thought immediately struck Isabella that her mother's current appearance was the complete inverse of hers—a mess in a uniform and in a confined space, akin to a wildflower struggling to bloom in a cramped garden bed."Been a while," Victoria Sinclair said again, immediately as Is
Chapter 243: Isabella and The Tears
Like a fish forced to live in the desert for the crime she had committed, Isabella's prison days wove a bleak tapestry of monotony and despair. The cold, unforgiving reality of prison life left her yearning for freedom, with each passing moment feeling like an eternity. The absence of familiar faces and the pervasive loneliness created a profound sense of desolation that permeated every aspect of her existence.Most especially, the daily beatings from her tormentor, Elara Whitewind, resembled an unrelenting storm, leaving Isabella's spirit battered and broken, akin to a shipwreck in the tempest of her despair. This was the reason she wished she had never set foot in the prison yard, mess hall, or communal bathroom ever again.However, whether she wished to visit those places or not, prison protocol had to be followed, leaving her no choice but to be present even in the devil's face if the protocol demanded it.In the dimly lit mess hall, clattering trays and hushed conversations fille
Chapter 242: The Heart of Gold.
Ethan said nothing in response to Mr. Alexander's words. Instead, as if he hadn't heard him, he seized a seat on the other side of the table and crossed his left leg over his right.Yet, this did not mean he spoke at this moment. The only sound was the rhythmic tapping of his fingers on the table, as if he were playing an invisible piano.In this manner, Ethan Mark exuded authority. Gazing calmly from Mr. Alexander's feet to the tangled mess of hair atop his head, he looked at him. With a serenity akin to the gentle flow of the Nile and a voice as soft as a satisfied dove contemplating a defeated jungle lion, he suddenly spoke."Kneel and apologize."Upon hearing these words, Mr. Alexander's eyes widened in shock. He never anticipated a day when he would be asked to kneel and beg for mercy, especially from the person he had always regarded as a poor bastard.Like an enslaved cat in the presence of a lion, Mr. Alexander fell to his knees as Ethan Mark instructed, pleading, "I was a ter
Chapter 241: The Visitation
Seeing how bold, tall, and dangerous this prisoner appeared and observing his audacious manner of poking at him was akin to witnessing a prowling lion, confident in its dominance, taunting its prey before the impending strike. Mr. Alexander then immediately turned his back, attempting to escape from this menacing part of the communal bathroom like a startled deer seeking refuge from the looming threat in the dark forest. "I have to run," he muttered in total fright, his voice a tremor in the echoing silence, like a desperate whisper carried away by the chilling wind of impending danger. However, if his intention was for success, it was a futile hope. "And where do you think you are running to, huh?" Another prisoner said this behind him and pushed him forward like a pawn on the unforgiving chessboard of the prison's power dynamics. As Mr. Alexander was pushed forward, he witnessed how the older prisoners immediately surrounded him. He also noticed how they revealed smirks on their c
Chapter 240: The Next Morning
After speaking for hours, the man who had conversed with him advised Mr. Alexander to get some sleep. He emphasized the importance of having alert eyes to observe any unfortunate events that might occur in the morning. And with that, Mr. Alexander retreated to the corner of his cell once again, burying his head in his ankle like a ship seeking refuge in the harbor of solitude, sheltering itself from the tempest of the prison's harsh reality. He sat on the ground, succumbing to a haunted sleep. *** The next morning revealed Mr. Alexander as a mere specter of resilience, marked by the weariness of a night spent in the clutches of haunted dreams, like a tattered flag fluttering weakly after enduring the relentless storm of a sleepless night. His eyes, burdened with unrest, betrayed the toll of his surroundings. Disheveled strands of hair clung to his forehead, bearing witness to the restless hours entangled in unsettling dreams. As he rose from the dark corner of his cell, his eyes fir
Chapter 239: The Eerie Prison Cell
"Long story, man," the man answered. However, if this was all he said, it was a lie. He began to unravel his own narrative, detailing how his legs became amputated and one of his hands irreparably broken and dislocated."You see, I entered this prison as a healthy man. My crimes weren't that significant. I robbed a bank because I couldn't bear to watch my daughter suffer. We hadn't eaten for days, and robbing the bank seemed like my only option." He took a deep sigh and continued talking."Yes, you guessed right. The mission was unsuccessful, and before I knew it, I was completely surrounded by the police. I had no guns, only a knife and a dagger. I never headed to the vault but collected pieces from each person I encountered in the bank. I just wanted to be able to feed my daughter and move on with life the next day.""While being surrounded, there was nothing more I could do than raise my hands in the air and let the police apprehend me. God knows it was the biggest mistake I ever m
Chapter 238: The Prison
Arriving at the prison, Mr. Alexander saw how the prison walls were imposing, resembling a fortress of despair that stood as a testament to the shadows of society. Certainly, he shook his head in regret, as he had never been to a place this horrible before.He observed cold steel bars, like sentinels of incarceration, confining notorious men whose stories were etched in the graffiti of hardened souls. Similarly, he noticed how the air hung heavy with the weight of regret, whispers of past misdeeds echoing through the dimly lit corridors.The sounds of his handcuffs tucked in chains down to his ankle made obvious sounds as he was escorted through the corridor harboring the cells of different notorious men by two prison officers whose faces lacked smiles, as if they hadn't smiled for many notorious years. Hence, he saw individuals behind these cells harboring untold secrets with their unappealing faces and frightful behaviors.Upon witnessing him and the others being escorted to their r
Chapter 237: The Question and Live on TV
“Detective Sharon, we would love to ask you a few questions if you do not mind. We are sure this would help the public understand more of what is going on,” one reporter said immediately. “Alright, please go ahead. If this would help the general public understand more of what is going on, “Thank you, Detective Sharon. Now that Mr. Alexander, Mr. X, and Attorney Hughes have been sentenced to lengthy prison terms, and Attorney Reynolds is awaiting the outcome of his investigation before he is sentenced, do you think that would be the end of this deadly organization?” “Yes, Mr. X. Mr. Alexander Rosewood and Attorney Hughes have been sentenced to prison for a very long term, and if care is not taken, for life imprisonment. However, this is not the end of the organization. As you might already know, the deadly organization is a large organization that has penetrated every sector, which could even include the police, the prison officers, the legal system, and many more, which could even i
