Rags to Stardom Chapter 231
A panic-stricken Andrew glared at his father, unable to speak. “Have you suddenly gone dumb? You better start talking before I lose my temper!” Emiliano growled. “I..I…had no choice. It was the only way I could save my neck. Pachenko spared me in jail and in return I was supposed to take Ethan out of the picture so he could get out of jail but when I failed, he gave me another condition, which was to launder money for the red dragons to enable them to exert their revenge on Ethan and the black axe group. I swear I don't know how Ethan got proof of my dealings, I was extremely careful!” Andrew explained before breaking down in tears. Emiliano gritted his teeth, “Apparently, you were not careful enough! Now look at what you caused. Why didn't you come to me?” Martha was almost in tears after she heard Andrew's explanation. “What are we going to do now?” Martha asked, panicking. “Andrew, how in the world did you make such a blunder?” Ariella yelled at her brother. “You should have

"Yes Jay, you both should help my boy. Please all hands must be on deck to save Andrew!” Martha joined Ariella. Emiliano furrowed his brows, contemplating his next move. *** “Mr. Douglas, we might have a problem. Emiliano’s kid just got arrested, we might be exposed!” A slim fellow was seen talking to someone on the phone. The voice at the other end of the line, didn't sound too pleased, “And you called to inform me? What happened to our security protocol? Don't call me again, I'll send word to you! And please lose that damn phone!” The line instantly dropped, causing the slim fellow to frown as he glared at his phone. Meanwhile, Ethan returned to his Villa to find Loretta and Samantha chatting happily. As soon as Loretta saw him, she chortled, “So, how did it go?” Ethan’s satisfied laughter gave her the answer, even before his words. “They didn't see that coming, that's for sure!” Ethan winked at her. Samantha chuckled, “You are really something you know. You mean you watche

“What is it? You sound unusually excited, ” Loretta rolled her eyes at him in a curious manner. “Yeah, that's a good way to put it. Anyway, I have a really good design that I need you to work on pronto. Here it is,” Ethan handed her a rather detailed rough sketch. Loretta stared at the sketch for a few seconds and glared at him, “Did you sketch this?” Ethan simply nodded, unsure of why she was asking. Loretta glared at him in disbelief. She had seen his sketches in the past and none of them…not even his best could be compared to the one she held in her hands. “This is far better than anything I've ever seen you sketch before!” Loretta exclaimed. Ethan grinned, “I've been doing a lot of practice.” Even though she was still stunned, she didn't make any other comments about it, instead, she sat down to study it. “This is brilliant! I still don't know how you come up with these things!” She exclaimed after studying the design briefly. “I'm a business analyst, remember? It's what I

Nash dropped his phone, shaking his head. Sarah had gotten into a frenzy after watching the live broadcast of Ethan hanging Andrew out to dry. News of Andrew’s arrest has already circulated and it was one of the most trending stories on the media. The live broadcast only made Sarah more apprehensive, causing her to mount some more pressure on Nash. “Relax! I have my people working on it as we speak! It's only a matter of time before that jackass is kept in his place,” Nash had assured her. He tapped a button on his desk, “Jamie, come to my office immediately!” Meanwhile, at Lopez Conglomerate, Loretta could be seen working on the new design that Ethan had just given to her. After that, she proceeded to the lab but was surprised when she saw Ethan there. “Hey, you! I've been waiting for you,” Ethan chuckled when he saw the surprised look on her face. Ordinarily, Ethan would probably have been at his mother's apartment, crying his eyes out but Loretta had been not just a pillar

Several employees were also seen casting alluring glances at him. Since Jay was the heir to the Walters' empire, they all desired him. “Oh…these ladies….they keep tempting me,” Jay whispered, flashing a naughty smile at one of the ladies who kept trying to entice him. Trevor walked into Jay's office at that instant and saw his brother staring at one of the ladies, “Oh, don't go there bro, cos dad is not going like it at all!” Trevor warned him. “But she is kind of cute right?” Trevor added, chuckling. Jay chuckled as well. His brother was right though, Marcus was not going to tolerate any improper conduct in the office. Suddenly Jay's phone began to ring. “Damn it! She must think I'm talking to my father about Andrew!” Jay banged his desk when he saw Ariella’s call. *** “Okay, we need to try it out and see how good your code is,” Loretta's voice echoed in her office as she and Ethan stared at her computer screen. They had both spent the last couple of days working on Ethan's

Loretta settled on the sofa with a bowl of cereal in her hand. She had been agitated after the attack on the company several hours ago. Ethan on the other hand didn't allow the problem get to him as he tried to encourage Loretta, “Don't worry, we will bounce back. Eat, relax and tomorrow we will determine a way forward.” “But how are we going to do that?” Loretta countered. There was no telling how much damage had been done until they looked through everything themselves. Ethan grabbed a spoon and joined her in her bowl of cereal. “If you want to keep worrying while I eat up your cereal, then be my guest.” Loretta rolled her eyes at him and they both chuckled as they stared into each other's eyes. Meanwhile, seated behind a parked vehicle somewhere in Cedarwood was the uncanny fellow and Nash Barrington. “Okay boy, what have you got for me?” Nash asked. The uncanny fellow took out a brown envelope from his jacket and handed it to Nash. Nash perused the contents of the envelo

Samantha glared at her mom, “Why the excited expression? Did something good happen?” Sarah chuckled, “Come off it! You don't expect me to lay down and mope all day do you?” “Have you checked what time it is? You've literally moped the day, Mom!” Sarah didn't pay much attention to Samantha’s response, “I'm down now and that's what's important.” “Have you heard what happened to Lopez Conglomerate?” Samantha suddenly asked. “Oh, yes dear. It's quite unfortunate what happened,” Sarah responded, making a sad face. Samantha thought it strange that her mother was happy on the same day that a tragic incident had taken place at the company but she said nothing in that light. Maurice and Ian suddenly walked in with sad expressions written on their faces. “Dad….Grandfather!” Samantha rushed to hug them both. “I heard about what happened at Lopez Conglomerate, I'm sorry!” Samantha apologized, knowing how passionate both her Grandfather and father were about the family company. “Come dear

"Come on! That isn't my place! It's left to Loretta and Nash to come up with a convenient date!” Maurice was beginning to get tired of Sarah's insistence on Nash and Loretta's marriage. “But it's still within your right to do so, after all, she is your daughter! Besides, I don't think Nash would mind,” Sarah ran her fingers across Maurice's chest, tenderly. “Okay, fine. How about two weeks from now?” Maurice finally gave in, in a bid to stop her from pestering him. “That's perfect baby, I'll ask her to come over tomorrow!” Sarah responded excitedly, hugging Maurice, almost suffocating him. *** Nash glared at his phone that had just started to ring, his vision fuzzy, “Hello Nash, guess what?” An excited voice rang out from the other end of the line. Nash smiled when he heard the excitement in Sarah's voice. “Just tell me, baby, what is it?” Nash responded carelessly. “Baby? Nash, are you drunk?” Sarah yelled, looking around to be sure no one was eavesdropping on their conversati
