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
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."
