Rags to Stardom Chapter 115
Simon King was the wealthy heir of the elite King family.The King family was well known in Cedarwood. Their prestige and vast connections made less important families cower at their feet.So it wasn't a surprise to Ethan that the scion of the family was conceited and ill-mannered.There was deafening silence in the hall as Simon's mocking remark reverberated causing everyone's attention to shift to Ethan.Even the musical group that had been playing melodious tunes suddenly paused, their attention fixated on Ethan.“I’m sure your sorry ass heard me punk!” Simon King yelled in exasperation when Ethan didn't bulge.Ethan's calm exterior stunned Simon. For someone who didn't appear important to him, he was unusually calm before Simon.This wasn't something Simon was used to, so it infuriated him.Ethan glared at the musical group. He had been moving his head gently to the music, enjoying the rich blend of their instruments fiddling with his eardrums.Since his senses were heightened, he

Hearing Ethan mention the diamond rhythm so casually, momentarily unsettled Simon.He wondered for a minute if Ethan was capable of pulling off something like that before the mocking expression returned to his face.“The Diamond Rhythms! Are you insane or something?” Simon scoffed.“The Diamond Rhythms would never respond to someone like you and even if they did you would have gotten to them long before now. And how are you even going to pay them?” He shook his head while eyeing Ethan disdainfully.“I'm sure he's just bluffing. Look! The Diamond Rhythms are even performing at Kingston Dome! So how was he even expecting to bring them here.” Samantha's friends began to mock Ethan.“He was probably going to make up an excuse but unfortunately we found out in time that they were unavailable!” Simon King smiled mischievously as he heard the rest of their friends mock Ethan.“Guy! I'm sure he just wanted to feel important! Let's cut the jerk some slack, he's probably never been in the compa

Simon King glared at Ethan, unsure of what to think.He recalled Ethan promising to make sure the Starlight harmonics never perform in any major event again and a few moments later it happened that way!“Could he really have done it?” He wondered.Samantha's other friends began to look at Ethan differently.A person that could instantly ban a popular group like the Starlight harmonics was not one they could afford to offend.Simon King on the other hand wasn't pleased with what was happening, so he quickly called a reporter to find out why the Starlight harmonics were banned.“Ah…you all can relax, it was only a coincidence that the Starlight harmonics were banned at the same moment that this loser promised to have them banned. I just called a reporter friend of mine and it seems they offended someone very important.” Simon explained after dropping his call.They all heaved a sigh of relief, convinced that it wasn't Ethan or his name would have been mentioned by the reporter.Ethan sh

Simon King felt like the ground was about to open and swallow him.He turned around to see Ethan's mocking glare directed at him.His friends on the other hand seemed to be waiting to see what he would do next.They still wondered how Ethan had managed to bring the Diamond Rhythms to perform at the hotel.Since the Diamond Rhythms were extremely popular, there was no way that imposters could imitate them or they would have accused Ethan of doing that.They decided to stay out of the rift between Ethan and Simon, afraid that Ethan might be someone very powerful.Simon King frowned deeply, as several thoughts flew into his mind.How was he going to face his friends after now? He wondered.A wicked smile slowly crept up on his face.They were his friends after all and not those of Ethan's, so there was no need for him to fear!“If you need drinks, why not go somewhere a poor kid like you can afford!” He responded coldly.As far as Simon was concerned, Ethan was a nobody who must have use

Samantha's friends were yet to fully grasp all that was happening.They stared in awe at the General by Ethan's side.The respectful actions and the friendly exchange between Ethan and General Cage left them dumbstruck.For someone who appeared to be unimportant, his actions were the exact opposite.Their jaws instantly dropped when they saw Simon return to the hall, dressed as a waiter.Tried as they may, they couldn't hold back their laughter anymore. Everyone in the hall roared in laughter at the sight of Simon in a waiter's outfit, serving drinks.“This is hilarious!” Amanda, one of Samantha's friends exclaimed. “Who would have thought Simon King would serve us drinks tonight? Ethan beamed with satisfaction as soon as he saw Simon in a waiter's outfit.Loretta and Samantha couldn't help laughing as well when they saw Simon serving them drinks.General Cage had insisted on waiting a little, forcing Simon to be even more respectful towards Ethan.“Sir Ethan, would you want anything

Simon felt like his world was about to crash as he quickly thought about what to do. His heart rate slightly increased as he imagined the disappointment his mother would feel when she saw him.“Oh Dahlia, you didn't tell me your son worked here as a waiter. Are you now keeping secrets from your dear friend?” Melinda wasted no time in confronting Simon's mother.“Damn it!” Simon yelled, trying to slip through a nearby hallway but it was too late. He could already feel his mother's piercing gaze behind him.“What nonsense are you spewing now Melinda…” Dahlia stopped in the middle of her response when she recognized the unmistakable figure that she had given birth to and watched grow up into a man.“Simon! What in God's name are you doing in those clothes?” Dahlia's fury was unimaginable at the sight of her beloved son dressed as an ordinary waiter.There was a subtle chuckle from her friends as they soon realized what was happening.“Simon King, a waiter? I thought they just secured a

Ethan chuckled as Loretta said something funny in his ear.Samantha beamed as well, enjoying the company of Ethan and Loretta more than all her friends put together.Since Ethan made Simon dress as a waiter and serve them drinks, Samantha's friends had become suddenly courteous towards him.There attempt to curry favor with him amused all three of them, causing Loretta to joke about it in small whispers to Ethan.Not that Loretta couldn't make such jokes openly to their hearing but she didn't know how Samantha would act, so she decided not to.General Cage had left after receiving an urgent call from the base, promising to return if Ethan needed him again.Ethan took a peep at his Daytona wristwatch and looked around, a frown forming on his face.Loretta noticed the expression on his face and enquired, “Is there a problem?”“Simon isn't back….” Ethan didn't need to speak further as he saw the disdainful look on Simon's face. He was in the company of a popular feminine socialite.“What

Queen Dahlia's annoyance could be seen from a mile away. Not only did someone with no background make Simon serve drinks at the hotel but he also howled mocking comments at her and her son and now her friends are present with her!A thundering sound was suddenly heard as not less than 12 fierce-looking bodyguards stormed the hall.Their intimidating presence sent fear to everyone present in the hall…everyone but Ethan who didn't even flinch.Simon glared at the men, his eyes widening instantly.These were the specially trained bodyguards of the King's family. The King's family had different sets of bodyguards, according to their capabilities. Since the King's family had dealings with very important people in closed circles, they took their security very seriously.Queen Dahlia chuckled at the sight of her bodyguards. After she heard that Ethan had invited General Cage, she decided not to take chances. Each of the men she invited was specially trained to handle even the toughest comman
