(Please note, in order not to make the chapter boring, I didn't include Boss lady scene of going inside to fight the men before killing Madam Northginton) Half an hour later, Boss lady walked out of the house, her dagger and her dress full of blood. She held big briefcase bags loaded with money. She placed them in the car and after that made a call. "Lord Blackwood, I've eliminated the threat that Master Ethan was going to face, both Madam Northintong and her men are dead now.""Good, it serves her right. I killed her son because of his behavior, raping ladies up and down, but she decided to come at me. Your job is done, I'll deal with the rest and make sure no problem arises." William Blackwood's voice came over. "Ok Lord, it's all at your power now." Boss lady said. She looked at her men and ordered them to donate the money to orphanage homes around. After that, they drove away. Meanwhile, Ethan an
An hour later, Cory drove to a local restaurant where he had agreed to meet Yolanda. He had finally bought his own nice car since he was earning well. He parked his car and stepped out, adjusting his collar with a touch of nervous anticipation. The morning air was crisp, carrying a hint of excitement.Soon after, a sleek car pulled into the parking lot, and Yolanda stepped out, her presence commanding attention. She wore a sophisticated charcoal gray dress that. Her dark hair was perfectly styled, cascading in loose waves around her shoulders.As Yolanda approached, there was a hesitance in her step, a slight furrow in her brow. She greeted Cory with a polite smile, though her eyes held a guarded look. "Good morning, Cory."Cory returned the greeting, his own demeanor a mix of eagerness and apprehension. "Good morning, Yolanda. It's great to see you."Yolanda's greeting lacked the warmth that usually accompanied
Jessica looked at Ethan with a polite smile and said, "Sir, please, our manager himself will be here shortly."Ethan frowned slightly, a hint of impatience in his voice. "Manager? Why must I wait for the manager?"Jessica's smile remained unwavering as she explained, "Actually, sir, for jewelry worth a million dollars and more, it must be dealt with by the store manager himself. It's store policy."Ethan nodded, understanding the protocol. He checked the time on his wristwatch; it was just a few minutes to twelve. He looked back at Jessica and said, "Alright, I'll wait. But I hope he doesn't take too long."Jessica assured him, "Of course, sir. He'll be here in just a few minutes."With that, Ethan took a seat, his gaze wandering over the exquisite jewelry on display. A few minutes later, the door to the jewelry store swung open, announcing the arrival of the store manager. He was in a bro
Ethan was stunned, his brows knitting in slight disbelief. He turned to find a man, approximately 40 years old, accompanied by a lady of about 25. The manager, recognizing the man, quickly stepped forward, extending his respect. "Mr. North, it's good to see you," he greeted.The man, identified as Mr. North, offered a genial smile. "I've been swamped with work. My girlfriend here needs a beautiful ring, and when I saw the one on display, I fell in love with it. I'm purchasing that one," he declared.The manager hesitated, a touch of uncertainty crossing his features. Ethan had already expressed his intent to acquire that very ring. Clearing his throat, he ventured, "Actually, Mr. North, there are many exquisite rings available. Perhaps I can show you some other options..."Mr. North's voice cut through, resolute. "I said I want this one." He pointed decisively at the chosen ring.Jessica, observing the scene, noted a frown forming on Mr. North's face. She knew him as a notorious woma
Ethan confidently retrieved his card from his pocket. "This is it," he stated, handing it over to the manager.The manager nodded about to swipe when his eyes fell on the card. His hands trembled as he took hold of the card. He looked at it in disbelief, stammering, "Th.. Th.. Te.. The diamond platinum card?" His shock was visible.All eyes were fixed on the card the manager was holding, particularly Mr. North. His gaze was equally transfixed, though he knew he could never possess such a card, as he had heard that it always held no less than $5 billion. Furthermore, only a select few individuals in the world had the privilege of owning one.To Jessica and Mr. North's girlfriend, the significance of the card was lost; they weren't well-versed in the world of high-stakes business.The manager, visibly shaken, mustered the courage to speak. "S.. S.. Sir, is this real?" he asked, his voice trembling.
Immediately after Ethan left, the young lady approached Mr. North, her tone tinged with disappointment. "Hunny, you made him take the ring away."Mr. North's frustration boiled over, and he lashed out with a slap. "How dare you still talk about the ring? Are you mad to see how I was beaten?"Covering her cheek in pain, the young lady's eyes welled up with tears. She stood her ground for a moment, then her resolve hardened. "It's over between us, you old fool," she declared, and without another word, she turned and walked out.Mr. North was left alone, seething with anger and nursing his wounded pride. He turned his gaze to the manager, accusingly. "You brought someone to humiliate me? You conspired with a young guy to beat me?"The manager's patience wore thin, and he retorted sharply, "Get out from here, Mr. North. I even doubt if you had the ability to purchase such a ring."With a nod of reluctant acceptance, Mr. North turned and strode out, his face a storm of frustration and bi
At 5:00 pm, Ethan and Sophia gracefully checked out of the hotel, their bags neatly packed with memories of their English adventure. A chauffeur, arranged by the hotel, whisked them away to the airport. The clock ticked on, and by 5:30 pm, they arrived at the bustling terminal. Promptly, at 6:00 pm, their flight soared into the sky, bearing them away from the English shores.Seated together on the plane, Ethan let out a contented sigh. "Finally, we've explored the great land of England," he remarked, gazing out of the window at the shrinking coastline.Sophia's face lit up with a radiant smile. "This was the best vacation trip, thanks for recommending," she said, leaning towards him.Ethan gently took her hand and planted a tender kiss on her cheek. "We should be traveling more, let's explore different countries," he suggested, his eyes sparkling with excitement.Sophia nodded eagerly. "Sure, we would love to do that,
The day slowly faded away, ushering in the awaited moment - the day of judgment at the court.The police had already escorted the Minister of Defense's son, Halland, in a car. The court premises buzzed with media personnel, eagerly waiting to report the proceedings.In the midst of it all, Dera Brown arrived, donned in a lawyer's suit, exuding intelligence and grace. Her expression was resolute, clutching a court file in her hand.A white car pulled up, and the Minister of Defense stepped out. The media pounced, bombarding him with questions."Sir, do you believe your son will be proven innocent?""Sir, what do you have to say about this?""Is there any comment on the allegations?"The Minister paid no heed, striding forward until he reached Dera, his gaze seething with anger."You think you've won, don't you?" he spat, glaring at her.Dera met his intensity with a calm smile. "It appears our Defense Minister is still aggrieved."He sneered, his voice sharp with accusation. "My son's
