Ethan Mark: Billionaire in Disguise Chapter 229: Reveal of the Darkness Secret
“According to our research, as you might know, we have been following your story for quite a while now. We found out that you were against her marriage with Ethan Mark, and in the process, your daughter got engaged to someone else named Davis John. We also learned that this man was your assistant when you were the branch manager of Woodmark Industries, HavenBrook. We also learned that while Mrs. Isabella Rosewood was seeing this new guy, she sent divorce papers to Ethan Mark, and he had to sign them. Why then do you say he forgot her when obviously she was the one who left?” another reporter asked. “Yes, I was against their marriage, and you cannot blame me for that. I was rich, and I could not imagine my daughter being with someone who could not even afford to buy her a pin for her hair. I never understood why she chose him over Davis John in the first place. After she came to me for help to pay her daughter’s hospital bills, I knew I had to help her see reason and tell her to leave
Ethan Mark: Billionaire in Disguise Chapter 230: More Questions
Asking Mr. X any question was like asking a deaf person some vital questions, as the response he gave to the press was his steadfast look at them; hence, his face was boldly shown on camera.As his silence continued, they kept taking pictures and filming him like the notorious celebrity that he was. Finally, he said, “I want my lawyer.”“Detective Sharon, do you believe that Attorney Hughes and Mr. X did not know each other, as Attorney Hughes has clearly explained?” One reporter broke the silence immediately, and instead of Mr. X, the attention was now shifted back to Detective Sharon.In this way, for the people watching her via the news channel, on social media, and on YouTube, her face was clearly shown with multiple microphones thrust into her mouth as she said,“It does not matter what I think. What matters is if he can prove that he does not really know Mr. X in court because we have evidence, and believe me, this evidence was not fabricated. Everything we discovered about him—

“No! I cannot identify every member of this organization, but I can identify…"“Alright, this is the end of the question-and-answer conference for the press. We are heading to court right now. If you want to get more answers for the general public, please make your way to the court and cover the entire judgment,” Detective Sharon said suddenly. With this, the police officers behind Mr. Alexander, Attorney Hughes, and Mr. X immediately held them on the shoulders and made them walk forward.In this way, the reporters filmed how the criminals were bound in cuffs from their wrists to their ankles, creating a human chain of guilt, shackled in the echoes of their misdeeds.In a straight line, Mr. Alexander, Attorney Hughes, and Mr. X, tagged as criminals, were taken towards the ominous black van a little distance outside the police station. The exterior was tainted with the shadows of secrecy, rumbling down the desolate street. Its tinted windows guarded the interior like silent sentinels, b
Ethan Mark: Billionaire in Disguise Chapter 232: The Prosecution.
As the judge instructed that the proceedings could proceed, Attorney Sarah Thompson began her statement immediately."Your Honor, esteemed members of the court, today we bring to light a dark conspiracy that thrived in the shadows. These three individuals, Mr. Alexander, Mr. X, and Attorney Hughes, were members of a clandestine organization that dealt in the unspeakable act of assassination," Attorney Thompson said, immediately shooting her eyes at Mr. Alexander. In this way, a smirk appeared on her face like a traffic light guiding cars on the road, conveying a message of doom to Mr. Alexander."Mr. Alexander, the orchestrator of this heinous plot, engaged the services of this organization to silence a man named Ethan Mark permanently. Ethan Mark is a person who has done nothing to him but cut him off from devouring his company completely."As she said this, she gestured towards a projector in the courthouse, and in return, the projector revealed a meeting between Mr. Alexander, Atto

“Objection noted. Attorney Thompson, you may state your response,” the judge said.“Your honor, the defense seems keen on casting doubt on the validity of the evidence. To address these concerns head-on, we present a witness who will shed light on the legitimacy of the video in question,” Attorney Thompson said, signaling towards the door, where a detective, well-dressed and composed, entered the courtroom.“Your honor, may I present Detective Rachel Williams, a seasoned investigator with expertise in digital forensics? She will testify to the authenticity of the video evidence and counter any claims of manipulation.”At this moment, the detective took her place on the witness stand, ready to provide her testimony.“The court acknowledges Detective Williams as an expert witness in digital forensics. You may proceed, Attorney Thompson.”“Objection, your honor! A detective cannot be a reliable witness in a case where technology, especially AI, is involved,” Attorney Reynolds said as he
Ethan Mark: Billionaire in Disguise Chapter 234: The Twist
As Dr. Millier said, the courtroom was filled with doubts regarding the integrity of the presented evidence. Murmurs arose from the people in the court as they turned to face one another, questioning silently."Could it be that the video evidence is fake and Attorney Hughes is truly innocent?""But if Attorney Hughes is innocent, what does that make Mr. Alexander? Does it mean he is innocent too?"While the murmuring continued, resembling the sounds of a thousand voices in a market square, the court bailiff shouted, "Court!" to restore decorum and order, as the murmurs escalated like the crescendo of a distant storm.Suddenly, Attorney Thompson's cellphone began to explode like a firework."Attorney Thompson, it is mandatory to silence your cellphone while at the bench. Are you disrespecting the court?" The judge frowned upon seeing Attorney Thompson's ringing phone."I apologize, Your Honor. I do not mean to disrespect the court, but this phone call is relevant to the subject matter
Ethan Mark: Billionaire in Disguise Chapter 235: Sentencing
“Attorney Reynolds, proceed with what you have to say,” the judge said, but if indeed Attorney Reynolds had anything meaningful to say, it was lost in a string of surreal and entirely irrelevant phrases. “Your Honor, do you think this is true? I mean, this is a clear Quantum penguin engaging in disco jamboree, a clear violation of intergalactic jurisprudence!” The courtroom was caught in a moment of surreal confusion as Attorney Reynolds continued with his seemingly meaningful yet entirely irrelevant phrases. "Attorney Reynolds, I'm afraid I'm not well-versed in the legalities of quantum penguins and disco jamborees. Could you please bring your objection back to this earthly courtroom?" "My sincerest apologies, Your Honor. I seem to have experienced a temporal glitch in my legal lexicon. No objection; carry on." “Your Honor, I believe the defense attorney has suddenly experienced a glitch because he knows that something he has not imagined has happened, and of course, something ve
Ethan Mark: Billionaire in Disguise Chapter 236: The Global Network News
Stepping out of the courthouse as the court officers escorted them was like stepping out of a safe zone into a lion's den. In this way, the reporters who covered the entire event in the courthouse were waiting eagerly for the criminals to be brought out so they could film their faces again, like hawks poised to capture their prey. And if this was all, it was a lie, there were people who came out to the front of the courthouse, shouting at the top of their voices like campaigners in a rally against a bad government. “We want them jailed. every one of them.” “Criminals like them should not be allowed in society.” “Ethan Mark was lucky, but his daughter was not.” “We don’t know who their real target is. They can target anyone! Send them all to jail.” As the people continued to shout at the front of the court, displaying their handwritten words on cardboard or any other medium that aided writing, the reporters made sure to film everything. Thus, they scrambled to the testifiers in th

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 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

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.

"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

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.

“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.
