After a few minutes of exchanging words over the phone, Charles turned towards Ethan with a sinister smile. He taunted, "Kid, today might not be your lucky day. Antonio Mario himself is on his way here."Ethan chuckled in response, curiosity piqued. "Really? And what is he coming here for?"Charles sneered, relishing in the impending threat. "Antonio is coming to break your legs."Ethan nodded, an unwavering determination in his eyes. "Fine. I want to see who dares to lay a finger on these two legs of mine."Infuriated by Ethan's confidence, Charles growled, "You're too proud for your own good."Ethan's voice resonated with conviction. "Of course I am, because I'm Ethan Nightingale. I have every reason to be proud."As the drama unfolded, a crowd had gathered, drawn by the escalating tension. Some eagerly awaited the spectacle, while others chose to flee in fear upon hearing Antonio Mario's name, knowing him to be ruthless.Charles maintained a slight smile, attempting to exert contro
At that moment, Antonio hasn't yet seen Ethan since a lot of people had gathered, he only moved towards Charles. Charles smiled and seemed respectful seeing Antonio. "Antonio welcome, I'm glad you are here." He saidAntonio only frowned. "Who did you say was causing you troubles here?" He asked with a deepened frown. "It's him." Charles raised his hand and pointed at Ethan who was standing aside. "He's the same bastard my dad paid you to take care of, deal with him now." Charles yelled. Gulp!"Antonio's tightened throat, his fear palpable. He swallowed hard, beads of sweat forming on his forehead as he struggled to find his composure. Ethan, his own master, had become his adversary. How could he have been instructed to harm the person he should serve and protect? Was he tempting fate, inviting his own downfall?Unaware of the unfolding dynamics, Charles, still oblivious to the situation, couldn't comprehend what was happening. Frustration laced his voice as he pointed an accusing f
Ethan bought a whole lot of Louis Vuitton clothes and paid for them all, shocking the lady to the core.After he was done, he went back home. The security guard greeted him respectfully and opened the door for him to enter. Ethan wanted to take a nap, but then he remembered about his friend Cory and also wanted him to learn how to become the CEO of Nexus Global. Thinking of this, he decided to call him. Ethan picked up his phone and dialed Cory's number. Cory, filled with joy, greeted him on the other end after the call was connected."Hey, friend! Are you back from wherever you went?" Cory asked, eager to catch up.The last time they met, it was the same day he was going to leave with Sophia. He informed Cory he was leaving for somewhere; that was why he asked. Ethan nodded happily and replied, "Yes, I'm back. Can we meet tonight? There's something important I'd like to discuss.""Of course! When and where?" Cory inquired, ready to accommodate Ethan's request."It's quite urgent, s
Later in the night, Ethan donned the new clothes he had purchased, dressing handsomely and exuding a sharp appearance. Stepping out, he made his way towards his car and settled inside, starting the engine. As he prepared to depart, he pressed the horn, prompting the security guard to open the door for him.The security guard respectfully inquired, "Master Ethan, are you planning to return tonight?"Ethan responded, his voice filled with assurance, "I'm going for an important meeting. If I won't be returning, I'll send you a message to inform you. You can rely on that."The security guard nodded, displaying his loyalty, and wished him well, saying, "Take care, master."Ethan flashed a warm smile in return, expressing his appreciation, and drove away into the night.After driving for some time, Ethan arrived at a larger hotel, where he parked his car and entered the premises. Following Cory's suggestion, he headed straight to the restaurant area. A waiter promptly escorted him to his de
Victoria confirmed, "Yes, I am. Congratulations, sir. I won't take up much of your time now. Just give me a call when you're ready to visit." With that, she ended the call.Overwhelmed by the news, Cory rushed towards Ethan and dropped to his knees. "Ethan, am I really a CEO now?" He gulped, his voice filled with a mix of excitement and disbelief.Ethan was taken aback by Cory's sudden reaction. "What are you doing, Cory? Yes, you are now the CEO of Nexus. Get up! People are staring at you. Don't make a scene. It's irritating."Cory got up from his knees and settled back into his seat, aware of the curious gazes from the onlookers. He smiled at them reassuringly, subtly signaling that everything was fine, and they should go about their own business.Turning back to Ethan, still perplexed, he inquired, "Ethan, the manager of Aureus just contacted me. Is this your doing?"Ethan nodded affirmatively, reiterating, "Yes, as I said, you are now the CEO of Nexus."Cory couldn't contain his
Taking a deep breath, Giselle began to explain her unfortunate predicament. "I tripped while serving, and the wine accidentally spilled on that man," she recounted, her voice laced with regret. "I've pleaded with him several times, apologizing profusely, but he simply won't accept my apology."Ethan's eyes narrowed with a mix of concern and anger as he listened intently to Giselle's account. He got up and turned to the young man. "Would you keep hitting a lady because of a small mistake?" Ethan's voice seethed with anger as he confronted the young man, his eyes blazing with intensity.The young man sneered dismissively and retorted, "Small mistake? Take a look at my clothes now. I'm having a date tonight, and do you know how long it took for the lady to finally agree to have dinner with me? And now she soils my shirt."Ethan's face contorted with a mixture of anger and contempt. "So, you want to bully her because of a mere soiled cloth?" He shot back, his voice dripping with disdain.
Gulp!" The young man swalloeed hard and nervously said to Ethan, "Yes, I've received it. Thank you."The surrounding people were astounded by Ethan's ability to pay $2 million on the spot. They whispered among themselves, expressing their shock and disbelief. Some of the things they said were, "Did you see that? He actually paid!" "I can't believe he has that kind of money!" "How did he do it?"Giselle, still in a state of shock, looked at Ethan with appreciation in her eyes. She couldn't believe that he had gone to such lengths to help her. She expressed her gratitude by saying, "Ethan, thank you so much. I will give you every penny of my salary from now on and work hard to repay you."Ethan shook his head and replied, "No, Giselle, you don't have to worry about that. Just focus on your own dreams and aspirations."Ethan was about to turn to the young man and speak, but the sight of the person walking through the crowd left him stunned and speechless.Dressed in a beautiful night d
Yolanda glared at Caleb, warning him, "Caleb, don't you dare touch me. I'll be forced to hit you."Caleb let out a frustrated sigh and retorted, "Yolanda, do you mean to say you trust him more than you trust me?"Yolanda chuckled sarcastically, shaking her head. "Trust you? Do you think we are that close or have any reason to trust you?"Growing increasingly angry, Caleb slapped his forehead in exasperation. He pointed accusingly at Ethan and questioned Yolanda, "Then who is he, Yolanda? Why do you believe him instead of me?"Yolanda struggled to find the right words to respond.Caleb, losing his temper, tried to grab Yolanda's arm. But before he could, Yolanda swiftly raised her hand and delivered a resounding slap across his face. "Don't you dare touch me! Ethan is my friend, so get out of my way!"Caleb, seething with anger, turned his attention to Ethan. He stepped forward, gripping Ethan's collar tightly, and seethed, "Damn you, man! Do you think you can just ruin my night bec
