During the order of the food, Cory shifted towards Ethan and asked."Buddy, who's that Giselle lady? She's pretty."Ethan chuckled. "She was my colleague back then in school." He replied. "Colleague in school?" Cory frowned, repeating it. "We went to the same school, so how come I don't know her?" He asked.Ethan leaned in slightly, a playful glimmer in his eyes, and spoke in a reminiscent tone."Have you forgotten that we went to the same junior high school and university, Cory? Well, except for senior high school."Cory, caught off guard, slapped his thighs in realization. "Damn, that's true!" he exclaimed, a mixture of surprise and amusement coloring his voice. He continued, unable to contain his curiosity."Anyways, I'm curious. Is this lady really the manager at Luxuria? She's very pretty too." Ethan's smile widened, his eyes twinkling with a hint of mischief. "Of course she is," he responded, a note of certainty in his voice.Cory chuckled, shaking his head. "It seems like my
Later in the evening, Ethan arrived at the company to pick up Victoria. Getting there, he was stunned seeing her. Victoria looked exquisite that night, her attire a testament to refined elegance. She wore a stunning gown that hugged her figure gracefully. The rich color of her dress accentuated her complexion beautifully, while delicate embroidery adorned the bodice, adding a touch of intricate charm. Her accessories, like a necklace and earrings, subtly enhanced her natural beauty without overpowering her presence."I must admit, you look very beautiful." Ethan complimented. Victoria blushed in excitement. "Thank you, master." She saidAfter picking her up, they drove to the place where they were going to bid for the land.As they approached the auction location, a private venue tucked away from prying eyes, a sight greeted them that hinted at the caliber of individuals who had registered for the bidding. High-end cars were neatly parked in rows, a reflection of the esteemed partici
As the bidding reached a staggering amount of $950 million from room 5, a collective frown spread across the faces of those in the other rooms. The substantial bid had caught their attention, causing a ripple of astonishment and concern. The participants, realizing the magnitude of the competition, grew more determined to secure the coveted 50-acre land parcel.The voice in the speaker acknowledged the end of the second round and addressed the bidders, "Since round two has also concluded, we will proceed to the next round. Please refrain from stating small amounts that may waste our time. Let's make it a tough one."With a commanding tone, the voice continued, "We have $950 million. Participant one, what are you bidding?"Participant one's voice filled the room confidently as they declared, "I bid $1 billion."The bold bid resonated through the speakers. The stakes were now high, which showed that it was getting tough. As that round came to an end, only three participants remained o
William chuckled warmly. "That's not just money, my boy. To earn more, you need to use more. I'll have 10 billion transferred to your account. Anyway, take care and goodbye."Ethan expressed his gratitude. "Thank you, Dad."Before ending the call, William suggested, "When you have some free time, come and visit me."Ethan laughed, agreeing, "Sure, Dad. I'll come to visit. Bye for now."As Ethan hung up the phone, a notification instantly appeared on his phone, indicating a transfer of 10 billion dollars into his account.Ethan chuckled with a sense of satisfaction as he walked out to join Victoria in the room. Together, they proceeded to make the necessary payments and sign all the required documents, ensuring the successful acquisition of the land.As they stepped outside, Ethan held the documents in his hands, a gleam of triumph in his eyes. "Finally, it's mine!" he exclaimed, a mix of excitement and relief evident in his voice.Victoria, standing by his side, congratulated him, he
Victoria shook her head, dismissing her brother's words. "Don't worry, he's just speaking nonsense," she reassured Ethan.Matthew sneered, his tone laced with bitterness. "Nonsense, indeed. Anytime I speak the truth, you see it as nonsense," he retorted.Closing the distance between himself and Ethan, Matthew stared at him with anger in his eyes. "Tell me, working for that company, what benefit have you gained? You work for them to earn more money, but have you received anything in return?"Confused by Matthew's hostility, Ethan replied, "What do you mean by 'in return'? Aren't the employees being paid?"Matthew laughed disdainfully. "Even as a driver, you have a car to relax in, even if it's not yours. But what about her?" He pointed directly at Victoria. "She's been the manager of that famous company for so long, yet she doesn't own her own house or have her own car. Then, what's the use?"The weight of Matthew's words hung in the air. "Matthew, stop this nonsense, how dare you."
Shaking his head, Ethan gently rebutted, "You're wrong, Victoria. As the manager, you shouldn't have to bear all of this alone. When I asked about the absence of a car, you claimed it was a personal preference, and when I inquired about renting, you said it was a choice you loved. Were you lying to me?"Victoria's expression turned pained as she bit her lip, struggling to find the right words. "I'm sorry, master. Please forgive me. I didn't want it to become a problem for you or cause you any worries," she pleaded, her voice filled with remorse.Ethan's gaze softened, his voice filled with understanding. "Victoria, you don't have to face these challenges alone. We're a team, and your well-being matters to me. Let's find a solution together," he reassured her, his words infused with a genuine desire to help.Ethan shifted his focus onto Matthew and inquired, "So, where's your dad now?"Matthew responded, "He's at the hospital."Nodding affirmatively, Ethan said, "You two, get in the c
"No, there's no donor yet." The doctor replied"Huh?" Ethan frowned. "You have no donor but hell bent on taking the mone?""What are you saying?" The doctor askedEthan's frustration mounted as he confronted the doctor's dismissive attitude. He nodded firmly, maintaining his resolve. "Listen, doctor, we're not here to play games. We came seeking proper medical assistance for my friend's father," he asserted. The doctor's anger flared as he retorted, "How dare you question our intentions? We are professionals here!"Ethan's eyes blazed with intensity as he responded, "I'm not questioning your professionalism, but your commitment to saving lives. If you truly care about your patients, then prove it. Find a suitable organ donor immediately."The doctor's face contorted with a mix of anger and disbelief. "You think finding a donor is that simple? It takes time and proper evaluation!"Ethan's voice grew sharper as he challenged the doctor's resistance. "You had all those past weeks to lo
"Haha!" Ethan laughed. "Where is that arrogant tone you displayed moments ago? Oh you said you'll take the life support away right, please do it now." He saidThe doctor only kept shivering, he kept shaking his head and said, "I was impulsive, please forgive me, you don't have to stop my work or get me fired, don't do this." He pleadedEthan sneered and shook his head. "It's like you don't understand, I never go back on my words, only cowards do that. Leave here now." He said"I was just frustrated and lost control. I never meant to harm anyone. Please, give me another chance!" He said with tearsEthan shook his head firmly, "No, I won't forgive you. Your behavior is unacceptable. You should have been professional and caring, but instead, you wanted to put a patient's life at risk."The doctor trying to wipe his tears, continued."I'll do anything to make amends. I'll apologize to the patient's family and accept any consequences. Please, reconsider."He walked towards Victoria and Ma
