Rags to Stardom Chapter 259
It took the men almost an hour to comb through the entire penthouse.The leader of the team had a rather frustrated look.He glared at Ethan a couple of times but Ethan remained still, enjoying the show he was watching on the television.All the men soon returned to the living room, exhaustion written on their faces.The team leader paced around a couple of times, but halted when he heard Loretta's voice, “What's with all the noise…” Loretta suddenly paused on sighting the strange men in the living room.Ethan turned around instantly, “Hey, you are up! Sorry about the noise, I believe they are done with their search and were just about to leave!” Ethan responded, smiling at the leader while giving him an angry glass.“Search? What search?” Loretta asked in confusion.“I'm not sure myself, perhaps the man here can explain to you,” he responded, still staring at the leader.The leader cleared his throat, obviously unsettled by Ethan's stare, “We are just carrying out a routine search, s

John Stewart began to apologize profusely, “Mr. Banks, I'm truly sorry for this embarrassment, I didn't sanction it but he rest assured that I will get to the bottom of this!” John Stewart crashed his fist into his desk, causing a loud bang that startled his subordinates outside his office. Ethan ended the call with a satisfactory smile dancing around his lips. Loretta folded her arms in front of her chest, giving the men a disdainful stare. “Hahahaha……” The men suddenly broke into another fit of laughter. They all held a similar condescending expression on their faces as they stared at Ethan. The leader suddenly took a few steps toward Ethan, snorting, “Was that performance meant to achieve anything? Come on, I'm sure you can do better!” He mocked Ethan. The leader and his men were initially troubled by Ethan's casual tone with John Stewart but after thinking about it for a while, they quickly dispelled the thought and concluded that Ethan was only putting up a show and ha

Samantha suddenly asked while glaring at the men.She didn't believe the routine check excuse that they had given to Ethan.The men stared at each other and then at their leader.Meanwhile, at the other penthouse, Mr. Wedge was seen smiling with great excitement.Since he received a message on his mobile phone, he has been unusually happy.“Dad, you look extremely happy, don't tell me those fools took the bait,” Thomas dropped onto the couch next to his father.After what happened the previous night, he didn't expect to see his father in such high spirits, so he guessed something must have happened.Mr Wedge chuckled, “Son, those punks are as corrupt as we are, the only difference is the side they are on!”Thomas instantly became excited. Since his encounter with Ethan, he hadn't had a peaceful night's sleep. The past couple of nights had been filled with pain and panic.He even found himself waking up several times at night to ask one or more of his men to do a perimeter sweep.But

Loretta scowled at Gabriella as the eyes of both ladies met.A certain uneasiness overwhelmed Gabriella.Loretta suddenly took a few steps to where Ethan stood and slipped her delicate hands into his palms, her gaze swiftly returning to meet that of Gabriella.Gabriella gave a slight frown as if responding to the non-verbal message from Loretta.The men from the financial crimes unit suddenly halted their search and returned to the living room where Ethan and the others stood.“Ahh..gentlemen, I see you are done with your search…..” Mr. Wedge suddenly halted in the middle of his remark as he spotted a familiar backpack in the hands of one of the men.Mr. Wedge's jaws dropped instantly as his gaze moved from the man with the backpack to their leader before finally settling on Ethan.Thomas, Daniel, and Gabriella also stared at the backpack and instantly observed the look on their father's face.“How….How….did you get that? Where did it come from? Did someone put you up to this?” Mr. We

Mr. Wedge beamed with excitement as he spoke, “Officer, what if I told you that the bag in your hand does not belong to me!”The leader furrowed his brows, “What do you mean, Mr. Wedge? What are you trying to say?”Mr. Wedge's eyes sparkled with even more excitement, “That bag doesn't belong to me! It was planted here by the same fellow that brought you guys here!”The leader stared at Ethan momentarily as he thought about what Mr. Wedge said.Thomas was even more confused than the officers as he knew for certain that the bag belongs to his father. He stared at his father with curiosity, observing his every move like a chess player learning from a master.Ethan narrowed his gaze at Mr. Wedge, casting an icy glare at him.A chilly feeling shot through Mr. Wedge and he took a few steps backwards in terror.“You…You…. should open it. Open the bag and I'll prove it to you!” Mr. Wedge added shakily.Loretta stared at Ethan at that instant, swallowing hard.From the looks of it, Mr. Wedge h

Mr. Wedge chuckled, almost instantly forgetting what Daniel just said to him.“And after you have confirmed what I'm saying, I want you to also take these ladies into custody as well!” Mr. Wedge added.He remembered Thomas' tale about his first confrontation with Ethan because of the girls and he wanted both ladies to suffer for it as well.Samantha's gaze turned cold as soon as she heard Mr. Wedge's instruction to the officers. She wished Ethan hadn't previously spared him.Gabriella as well wasn't too pleased with her father's response. She didn't like the idea of Ethan going to jail, “Father, what have you got in those mobile devices anyway?” She suddenly asked him, causing Mr. Wedge to turn to her in shock.Something about his daughter's recent remarks has been somewhat confusing to him.He glared at her but smiled after a few seconds, “I'm sure our fine officers here are capable of finding that out for themselves.”Loretta felt more uncomfortable by the second. Her fears became m

The leader scrolled through the device in his hand and was shocked at the numerous fraudulent transaction records that it contained.Both devices were like a treasure trove to any genuine official of the financial crimes unit, capable of guaranteeing a very successful career!Mr. Wedge swallowed hard as he saw the look on the leader's face.You didn't know about all that, right?” Ethan asked the leader, shaking his head.“You were willing to throw away a fulfilling career, one that any right-thinking person would jump at…..all for what? Temporary financial gains?” Ethan glared at the leader who now wore a guilty expression on his face.Mr. Wedge had only left crumbs of evidence that could easily be manipulated to set Ethan up but Ethan had recovered several hidden files in both devices that were capable of ending Mr. Wedge's criminal activities for good.All the other officers of the financial crimes unit also had remorseful expressions on their faces.They were to resume as clerks at

Ethan stood before an old dilapidated apartment with a piece of paper in his hand.He glanced at the address written on the paper, “This is definitely the place,” he whispered.The stairs creaked under his feet as he slowly approached the door, rolling a key around his finger.A few seconds later, the door made a creaking sound as Ethan gently pushed it, taking out the key from the keyhole.The air within the house was stale and from all indications, no one had been there in a very long time.Ethan stood in the middle of what seemed to be the living room and an image flashed before him.“What? But I've never been here before,” Ethan whispered, rubbing his chin in confusion.“You came!” A voice suddenly rang out behind him.Ethan turned around to find an unfamiliar figure with a hat over his head that covered most of his face.Ethan could tell the man was smiling.“Who are you? And why am I here?” Ethan asked with a frown as he tried to figure out who the man was.The apartment had ver

Ethan simply stood there staring at Clarissa and her boyfriend without responding to any of their mocking remarks.“Baby, hope we didn't keep you waiting for too long?” A beautiful feminine voice was suddenly heard asking Ethan.“No darling, you didn't,” Ethan swiftly responded, smiling at Loretta.Gabriella also came to him and kissed him affectionately on the cheek.Clarissa and her boyfriend gasped in shock as they tried to wrap their minds around what was unfolding before them.Not one but two extremely gorgeous women were now standing beside Ethan and being very affectionate with him.“That's impossible!” Clarissa whispered to herself.She and her boyfriend had assumed that Ethan was at the shopping mall to carry shopping bags for people but now it turned out that they were both wrong.Although Clarissa was beautiful and classy, yet her beauty was nothing compared to those of Loretta and Gabriella.“Ladies, I can't believe you would both stoop so low as to associate yourselves wi

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.
