Jessy instantly opened her eyes, “Daddy! Daddy!!” She cried out. “Jessy!” Arnold screamed, taking her into his arms. The guests eyed Ethan disdainfully, shaking their heads at him. “He was ready to let the poor girl die, just to satisfy his ego. What a shame.” They whispered nasty comments about him, not daring to say them out. “That's my daughter. We have a hospital. Don't hesitate to visit us when you need a check-up. There would be a discount for every guest here!” Martha announced amidst cheers. Jay smirked, “What did you just say about the doctor and his treatment?” Ariella shook her head, “Just because he got lucky with Mr. Morrison, he thinks he's now a doctor.” Arnold frowned when he heard what Jay and Ariella just said. He looked at Jessy for a few seconds before speaking, “Sir, what did you say is wrong with her?” He asked, worry written on his face. “Daddy! I don't feel so good….” Jessy's voice suddenly faded and her face turned pale. “Jessy! Jessy!” Arnold shook w

Martha and Jay also felt like a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders. Ariella quickly stepped away from the bodyguards and rushed to Martha's side. The gentleman was also short of words. In all his years in medical practice, he had never seen anyone raise an almost-dead person this way. The other guests in the hall couldn't help staring at Ethan. Some of them felt ridiculous for concluding that she was dead and crying. Jessy gave Arnold a big smile, “I feel a lot better, daddy.” She responded, before staring at Ethan. Arnold noticed the way she was looking at him and he explained, “This man here is the special doctor who saved you.” “Is he an angel?” Jessy asked, her gaze still fixed on Ethan. Arnold chuckled, “No, Jessy…” He was about to explain but Ethan interrupted him, “Your daughter needs some rest. Take her home.” Arnold smiled gratefully. “Thank you, Sir. I'm very grateful.” Ethan nodded, “I'll come to see your wife as soon as I can.” Arnold lifted his

“I…I want to…I want to say I'm sorry for the way I treated you in the past. Please forgive me.” She pleaded. Ethan observed her for a few seconds, “All right, you may stand up. Let's try to put the past behind us.” Olivia responded with a smile, “Okay, thank you.” He suddenly halted and turned around, “And one more thing. Your friend must never find out about who I am.” *** Martha smoothened the outfit as she inspected it. “All right, I'll take it. I like it.” She was in such high spirits. It had been a while since she went shopping. It appeared to her like the world had left her behind in the world of fashion. There were so many trending clothes that she wanted to buy. The saleswoman was so happy. She quickly brought more trendy outfits that she knew Martha would like. “I think you will love this out, ma'am. Why not try it on.” “This store is really loaded!” Andrew exclaimed from another corner of the store where another saleswoman was attending to him. “Yeah, it is!” Arie

Loretta on the other hand was experiencing a mix of different emotions. On one hand was the kiss they had just had and on the other hand was the awkward way that it had happened. Everything happened so fast! She glanced at Ethan whose eyes were fixed on the computer. They both fell into awkward silence as none of them attempted to speak about what had just happened. Tim suddenly reappeared and this time around he hesitated before speaking as he noticed the awkwardness between the two of them, “Boss, they are all gathered and everyone is waiting for you.” *** There was silence in the conference room as Ethan and Loretta settled into their seats. “I know you all have very busy schedules but there is a need for you to keep your subordinates in check. Speculations may be high right now because Walter Capital is picking up but that shouldn't cause anyone to worry. We are still on track. I am currently going through submissions from the marketing department and I'm very impressed wi

Emiliano sat on one of the garden chairs, scrolling through his phone when a vehicle drove in. Martha hurried out of the house to meet with the man behind the steering. “Ah….you came sooner than I was expecting. Quick, bring them in.” She gestured to some of the servants and they began taking out everything in the truck. Emiliano furrowed his brows, wondering what was going on. “Martha!” He called after his wife. “Yes, dear, you called me?” Martha had been in a very good mood since the Labell collaboration. Emiliano, ignoring her tone, enquired sternly, “What's going on? What's with the truck and all the moving around? Are you leaving town?” Martha laughed loudly, “Nothing of the sort, I'm only giving our home a facelift. I have guests coming over this weekend” Emiliano frowned, “And how do you plan to pay for all these? Isn't it a little too much?” Martha frowned, “And what do you mean by a little too much? Besides, you already gave me the go-ahead, so it has all been paid f

It was a credit alert for 400 million dollars. Emiliano could not believe his eyes. He refreshed his banking app several times to be sure it wasn't a prank but the balance remained the same. He finally smiled to himself before getting to shake the bank official. He heaved a sigh of relief as he left the bank. After Emiliano left the bank official left his desk quickly and entered another office. “Sir, he was here a few minutes ago and he just left. The money had been paid into his account as you requested.” He told a man sitting in the office he just walked into. There was a more simple-looking man with his boss in the office and the way his boss related with him told him he wasn't an ordinary person. Emiliano was unqualified for the loan and the bank official was going to deny his application and also call the authorities when his boss sent him a message to approve his loan request. The bank official though shocked, had no choice but to carry out his boss’s order. Ethan smile

“What nerve you've got to show your face in here after everything you've done?” Emiliano spoke, clenching his fists. Martha’s friends were taken aback by Ethan’s presence, “Isn't that her ex-son-in-law? I heard he now drives for a living.” “It's such a a shame. He doesn't look too bad. I think my maid will love him.” They made fun of him, casting mocked looks at him. But Ethan remained calm, glaring at each of them one after the other. Suddenly he spoke, “Where is Jake?” Jay gritted his teeth, “And why are you looking for him? Still wishing he was yours?” “You really are a sore loser! Don't you know when to give up?” Andrew joined to mock Ethan. “If I were you, I would never show my face in public again. Get lost this minute!” Martha yelled. “You came!!!” A little timid voice startled them instantly as Jake ran to hug Ethan. The maids ran after him but they weren't fast enough as he was already in Ethan's hands by the time they got to him. They froze the moment Martha’s glar

Alejandro enjoyed the sudden attention he was getting. Even his mother couldn't stop smiling. At that moment she felt like Santa Claus being troubled by little children for candies. “Okay, I'll give you a tip.” Alejandro finally accepted. “Hey jackass, this might be your opportunity to finally make some real money. So count yourself lucky that you were here tonight!” He roared arrogantly. “So here is my tip. Stake on Power Man to defeat Smokeless Drifter. Use any amount but remember that the bigger the amount, the bigger the reward.” Everyone hurriedly picked up their phones and rushed to place the bet. Even Emiliano and Martha joined in placing bets. Jay and Ariella pooled their money together for an even bigger reward before staking. Andrew not wanting to be left out, hurriedly did the same with money that wasn't his, believing in Alejandro so much. “Hahaha…..” Ethan suddenly broke into laughter. Everyone glared at him like he was insane. They wondered why one who drove ca
