There was a mischievous glint in Ethan's eyes as he spoke.The members of the Wilkins family clenched their jaws as the pain and exhaustion from kneeling tortured them.Ethan smiled as he stared at them in satisfaction.Dr. Kris was initially stunned when Ethan commanded them to kneel and they obeyed without any hesitation.The Wilkins family he knew would never cower before anyone, yet here they were trembling before someone without a powerful background.It was unfathomable to him.“I'll only treat Madam Comfort after you all kneel and tender an apology to Dr. Kris.”Farrell gritted his teeth furiously but didn't utter a single word. He had been silent since his family brought in Madam Comfort.His body still ached from the last beating that General Cage gave to him and since General Cage was still present at the hospital, he decided to stay silent so there wouldn't be a repeat of what initially happened.Though Dominic was also furious, he knew better than to refuse to do what Etha

Tim was in his office preparing a report for Ethan and Loretta when Sarah walked in.“Mrs Lopez, good day…” Tim greeted her in shock.“Oh Tim, relax. Why are you so surprised to see me?” Sarah asked with a mischievous smile.“I came to give my daughter a surprise visit, where is she?”Meanwhile, the Wilkins' gathered around Madam Comfort. They were relieved to see her fully conscious again.For several minutes she had drifted in and out of sleep, causing them to worry about her.“You are at home, Mother,” Madam Comfort's oldest son told her.The Wilkins family was a large family with several of them overseeing their business interests outside Stanberry.After news of Madame Comfort's health situation broke out, they all rushed down to see her.Madam Comfort had slept throughout the drive from the hospital to her home. After waking up, it took a few seconds for her eyes to get accustomed to the brightly lit room again.The sturdy fellow heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Madam Comfort

The men from the health department that went to search Krisville Hospital returned to their office looking very unkempt.Their colleagues glared at them with obvious irritation as soon as they saw them.“What happened to you guys? I had to cover up for you guys while you were away, I hope you brought back some goodies for me.” One of the officers asked them with excitement. He believed that such a quiet task that took so long was sure to bring a huge compensation.The leader of the team jerked the officer by the collar, “Do we look like we had fun where we went to?”The officer swallowed hard, realizing that things had not gone as planned for them.“My apologies then. I misread things,” he responded with a forced smile as the leader of the team released him.He had more problems on his hands than a nosy colleague. Ethan had evidence that could put him and some of the others into a lot of trouble. His thoughts now were how to retrieve them.But how was he going to accomplish that? He t

“How could she be broke when she is married to a man like your Father?” Ethan tried to stop Loretta's thoughts from running wild. He knew it would do her no good at this point.“Maybe she just wanted to see things for herself before she left. I'm sure she's been hearing of the great things we've been doing here and out of curiosity she decided to move around to see things for herself,” Ethan further explained.Loretta thought about his words for a moment and suddenly nodded in agreement, “Yeah, you may be right. That might be the reason.”An hour later, Ethan was sitting in his office when he received a message from Leo.Ethan furrowed his brows as he read the message. “So it was you after all?” He whispered with a mischievous grin.Meanwhile, at the Lopez family estate, Sarah could be seen pacing around in deep thought. She was becoming more impatient by the day.“Mother…. What is it? Why are you pacing again?” Samantha asked as she walked into the living room.Sarah frowned at Saman

Sarah sat next to an unfamiliar tall figure, smiling at Loretta as they both stepped into the house.“Darling, you are here. And you brought him…good!” She spoke to Loretta but glared at Ethan at the last part of her statement.“You sounded like you had something important happening here,” Loretta responded, scowling at the unfamiliar face that was staring at her.“Yes, darling. Come let me introduce you.”Sarah responded, taking Loretta's right hand.Samantha walked in at that instant and frowned.“Mom, I thought we were having a family dinner? Who is this?” Samantha asked, staring curiously at the figure that sat in their living room like he owned the entire estate.“Not now, dear,” Sarah responded to Samantha in an impatient tone.The entire house looked spectacular that evening, as Sarah had demanded that the house be specially prepared and the maids had worked tirelessly to make that happen.“Loretta darling, I want you to meet Nash…Nash Barrington, sole heir to the Barrington's

Ethan shot Sarah a disdainful glare.“What concern of yours is that?” Sarah shot back.“He's been away and he's back. That's what's important!”Nash chortled, feeling slightly embarrassed, “I'm sure he meant no harm,” he told Sarah while acting humble.“He's probably too intoxicated by his new role as the head of operations to see clearly. He must think I'm on the same level as him. Some of us were born into wealth and power so it's nothing to us. We fly in and out of Stanberry at will,” Nash's pretense evaporated as easily as it had come.“Oh Nash, please don't pay him any attention. I had something special prepared for you,” Sarah gestured to the dining room as she took Nash's hand.She also invited Ian and her husband, “Father, Darling, please, the table is set.”A few seconds later, everyone was seated while the maids hurriedly came out to serve the dishes.There were all kinds of food from baked bread to roasted lamb, omelet, stuffed chicken breasts, sausages, and even meatballs,

Nash fought hard to maintain his cool despite Ethan's comment.“You shouldn't talk to important people that way! Haven't you got any manners?” Sarah jumped in as she attacked Ethan.“You should let the young men be. They are only having a simple conversation.” Ian smiled, enjoying Ethan's response to Nash.Sarah glared at Ethan in anger and frustration.Samantha on the other hand, quietly watched everything. She recalled her mother's initial emotional state and she wondered if it had anything to do with what was happening at dinner.“Father is right,” Maurice chipped in.“They are two young and vibrant businessmen. So they are probably just bonding.”Ethan chuckled slightly at Maurice's remark and wondered if Maurice even knew the woman to whom he got married to.“So Loretta, we should hang out one of these days. We could spend the day on my yacht,” Nash's slightly tensed voice sounded.Loretta froze briefly but quickly shook out of it, “Sorry, but that won't be possible. I'm very bus

Sarah took the envelope from the maid and peeped into it.A frown was suddenly visible on her face as she took out the contents of the envelope.Sarah’s expression instantly changed as she glared at the paper in her hand.At the bottom of the paper was a warning from Ethan which read, “Don’t forget I still have these!”The paper carried records of several of her financial misdeeds.Sarah’s lips began to quiver as she hurriedly returned the paper to the envelope.Everyone at the table couldn’t help wondering if all was well with Sarah.Sarah gave off a forced smile as she struggled to recompose herself, assuring everyone that she was all right.Ethan and Loretta stood up at that instant to leave.“We have to go!” Loretta quickly announced.They both said their goodbyes as they exited the house.Loretta appeared to be in deep thought as they drove to the Villa.She was unusually silent and would occasionally let out deep sighs.At some point, Ethan had to ask her if everything was all r

Gripping the club, Chuck suddenly swung it hard in Ethan’s direction, aiming for his head, but Ethan's sturdy grip easily caught the club in mid-air.Chuck struggled to retrieve the club from Ethan's powerful grip but all his efforts were in pain.“Is that all you've got?” Ethan suddenly asked after watching Chuck struggle to retrieve the club from his grip.Chuck’s frustration was immediately palpable as he tried to land a punch on Ethan’s face but Ethan stopped it with only one finger and swung the club at Chuck's face.“Bang!” In another second Chuck was on the ground with blood oozing freely from his mouth.All the other customers who had initially looked down on Ethan, suddenly gawked at him.“You've simply been a pawn, so I'll spare you and your men. Leave now and don't ever come back!” Ethan warned Chuck as he and his men struggled to get to their feet.Mr. Orlando was also about to leave but Ethan stopped him, “Not you!

Mr. Orlando’s discomfiture was palpable as he clenched his fists in rage, almost launching an attack on Chuck, “You moron, what do you think you are doing?”He yelled at Chuck who simply frowned, “We have a bit of a setback but I'm handling it. I was just about to put this poor fool in his place before you showed up!” Chuck responded, ignoring Mr. Orlando's outburst.Mr. Orlando gritted his teeth. It was almost impossible for him to deny his involvement any longer, “You had a very simple task! Take the money quietly and leave, yet you blew it, you and your incompetent crew!” Mr. Orlando ended his statement, with an irritated expression on his face.Loretta couldn't contain her shock! She and several other customers, including Gabriella, gawked at Ethan and Mr. Orlando.“Let me guess, the last robbery incident here was also planned but you took the fall for it while Orlando here pulled some strings to get you out!” Ethan responded glaring at both Orlando and Chuck.“I'm also guessing t

“What was I even thinking when I turned down his proposal initially?” Clarissa asked herself, smiling as she watched the security guard preparing to hit Ethan with his baton.Ethan’s unwavering gaze remained fixated on Darius, even though he was speaking to the security guard, “I would think carefully about my next step if I were you!”The security guard chortled, “What's there to think about? I have the backing of Mr. Darius! Besides, what can a nobody like you do to me, huh?”A well-dressed man came out of the building at that instant wearing a discombobulated expression on his face, “What the heck is going on here?”The security guard wore an excited look as soon as he saw his boss, “Sir, I'm glad you are here! I was just about to call to inform you of Mr. Darius' arrival.”Clarissa chuckled, “Darius is a very important fellow, even the executive director of the museum came out to personally welcome him. You should have pleaded for mercy when you had the chance….”“Slap….. Slap….”
