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
An hour later, they arrived at a car dealership, leaving Victoria surprised and curious about their purpose there. She couldn't help but ask, "Master, why are we here?"Ethan reassured her, saying, "Don't worry, just follow me."Nodding in response, Victoria followed Ethan as they made their way into the dealership. As they entered, a friendly young man approached them, extending a warm greeting. "Hello, welcome! How may we assist you?"Ethan glanced at Victoria and replied, "I'm here to get a car for her. Please show us around so she can choose the one she wants."The words struck Victoria with a mix of shock and disbelief. Her eyes widened as she processed what she had heard. "Master, but why? I never said I wanted a car. If it's about yesterday please don't mind it." Victoria quickly saidEthan chuckled and shook his head. "I already had this in mind but I wasn't getting the time for that." He saidVictoria shook her head, expressing her gratitude, but also stating her hesitation
The lady was happy when Victoria admitted that it was her. She continued, "I've heard so much about you and your incredible achievements at Aureus. It's an honor to meet you."Victoria blushed, feeling a mix of pride and humility. "Thank you," she said graciously. "I appreciate your kind words."Ethan, too, was impressed by the recognition Victoria received. He smiled and said, "Victoria is indeed a remarkable person." He saidThe sales lady took a look at Ethan. He was neatly dressed and looking handsome. "Ms. Sparks, is he your boyfriend?" She asked with a smileVictoria blushed and was about to shake her head when Ethan interrupted with a nod. "Yes she is my girlfriend, soon we'll get married."Huh!" Victoria was stunned, her cheeks turned red even, she stared at Ethan in surprise but didn't say anything since he might have had his reasons. "Wow, this is so nice, you both are indeed made for each other." The lady said with a smile. "Well, if you need any assistance in finding
Meanwhile, Ethan couldn't help but feel torn as well. He cared for Sophia and cherished their connection, but he was also looking forward to the dinner with Victoria and his other team to encourage them so he couldn't put that aside. He took his phone out and made a call to Cory.Cory answered with a happy tone, and he said, "Brother Ethan, how are you?"Ethan smiled and replied, "You look so happy, what's wrong?"Cory chuckled excitedly, "Ethan, you made me CEO of Nexus! Shouldn't I be happy?"Ethan laughed, pleased with Cory's enthusiasm, and said, "Let's not talk about that now. Tonight, we are having a great dinner, and I would love to invite you since you are now a part of the team. Tonight, I'll reveal every truth to you."Cory's excitement grew, and he said, "That sounds amazing! I can't wait for tonight. Count me in, brother!"Later that same night, Ethan dressed up smartly in a sharp black suit that accentuated his commanding presence. He hopped into his car and drove off t
Ethan was shocked seeing Cory's immediate reaction. "What's wrong Cory, why this? Sit down." He saidCory nodded lightly and sat down. "Ethan we have suffered together since childhood, I don't know how tho but you made it big and you didn't forget me, I can now work and be proud to receive something big. Look at me from a delivery guy to a CEO." He saidYolanda and the rest felt emotional seeing Cory's reaction, his words were heart touching too. Ethan rested his arms on his shoulders and asked. "Do you remember the promise we made to each other when we met for the first time?"Cory laughed and said, "Of course how can I forget that day and what we said?" He laughed. "We promised to help each other in times of crisis."Ethan nodded and gave him a knuckle. "That is what we are on, it's a journey and we'll travel it together, work hard and more opportunities would be there for us, let us eat. I'll tell you everything in detail later." He saidThe whole place looked lively as they star
