Maurice stood at the door leading to Ian's room glaring in shock at his father. Ian smiled weakly at his son, “Hey son,” his frail voice was heard greeting Maurice. “Father! This….this is impossible!” Maurice exclaimed, rushing to hug his father. Ian winced slightly in Maurice's tight embrace causing Ethan to interrupt them, “I'm sorry Mr. Maurice, but your father needs a lot of rest. His body is still very weak.” Maurice nodded, flicking off a teardrop. “I was quite carried away, I hope I didn't hurt him?” He asked with a frown, afraid he may have hurt Ian. “No son, this man is tougher than he looks,” Ian responded with a weak smile. Ethan chuckled at Ian's response, happy to see that Ian's sense of humor was still intact. Dr. Kris who had been screaming in excitement before Maurice came, was yet to get over what Ethan had just done. He suddenly dropped to his knees before Ethan, “Sir, I'm sorry but I'm not qualified to even work for you. I want to appeal to you that you make

Loretta nodded in agreement before responding, “I feel great actually. Better than I've felt in a long time.” Ethan had used a nerve relaxation technique to cause her to fall into a deep sleep, making her feel extremely relaxed as she woke up. Samantha walked into the room at that instant, squinting as well, having just woken up, “Hey Sam, you are up as well?” Ethan chortled at the sight of Samantha’s disheveled hair. Samantha shot him a warning look, squinting her eyes, causing Ethan to laugh even more. Loretta stared at Ethan for a few seconds before responding, “Wait a second, how is it that you've been so active? Didn't we all board the same flight?” Samantha shook her head, the same thought suddenly occurring to her. Ethan didn't look anything like them. He looked like one who had been up, several hours earlier and both ladies didn't understand why. “I'm just waking up myself, your grandfather’s call actually woke me up,” Ethan swiftly shifted the focus of both ladies to Ia

Since Emiliano was unable to see Ethan's boss, he decided to poke at him instead with what he had done to Ian. Ethan furrowed his brows, glaring at Emiliano as he gloated at him. “How do you know he was poisoned? That information was never made public!” Martha chuckled loudly at that instant, understanding what her husband was trying to do, “It is quite unfortunate that bad things happen to good people, especially those who are around you! Get Andrew released and maybe they will stop!” Ariella smirked, “Time is of the essence here, kid, so act fast and maybe I'll convince my father not to get you fired! And even if you do get fired, Jay might just give you a job as one of his drivers.” Ethan frowned as something suddenly struck him. Emiliano was the supplier of the drug that had been used to poison Ian previously as well! Ethan had recognized the symptoms the moment he laid eyes on Ian as he had treated Ian with the exact same symptoms before, the only difference being the dosage

“Yeah, a dredging license!” “And why is that?” Trevor was catechized, unsatisfied with his brother's first response. “Isn't it obvious? We are going to set up a dredging company! It's the next big thing, Trevor, trust me!” Jay responded, waving off his brother's skepticism. Trevor raised an eyebrow as he sat down. His brother's recent business ideas have been mind-blowing, making them so much money in only a little while. Even their share prices had skyrocketed because of him, so it would be in their collective interest if he supported them in every way possible. “Well given your recent track record, I'm sure you have done your homework, so let's do it!” Trevor responded, tapping Jay's hand. “So how do we begin?” *** Ethan smoothened the sleeve of his jacket as he strode into the hall with Loretta by his side. A man standing by the entrance to the hall quickly ushered Ethan and Loretta to their seats after glancing at their tickets. Tim had purchased VIP tickets for both Eth

“This is it guys! We are taking home the price!” He chuckled excitedly. Ethan on the other hand simply ignored Ariella’s taunting stare and suddenly raised his bid sign, “Ten million dollars!” All the other bidders glared at Ethan in shock! “Who is he?” They began to whisper among themselves with sad expressions on their faces. Ariella also turned around in shock, glaring at Ethan in disbelief. Ethan had raked up the price by 9 million dollars, surprising all three of them! Jay instantly became agitated after Ethan suddenly took up the price by such a wide margin. “Where did this joker get that kind of money from!” Jay asked, clenching his fist in exasperation. All the other bidders instantly bowed out once they heard Ethan's offer. Ethan had exceeded their highest offer! Trevor stared at Ethan for a few seconds before speaking to his brother, “Bro, is this really the same fellow that was married to Ariella?” Jay smiled, “I'm sure he's only acting, he hasn't got a single penn

Tim was initially disappointed when he heard Ethan had lost the bid for the dredging license but a few hours later another opportunity suddenly presented itself as a well-known dredging company had decided to exit the dredging industry and so they were selling off their company! Tim had immediately reached out to them under Ethan's instructions, finally sealing the deal! Ethan smiled, “All right Tim, good job. Have Michael Rivers make the transfer.” Tim nodded before leaving Ethan's office. Loretta furrowed her brows as soon as she heard Tim's remark, “This is even more confusing, Ethan, did you just acquire a dredging company just after losing the bid for a dredging license?” Ethan shrugged, “Yeah, there is no need to wallow in self-pity don't you agree?” Loretta nodded in agreement. She also didn't see the need for Ethan to be too carried away with the lost bid. *** That evening, Jay took Ariella to a high-end restaurant. Jake was still out of town on a kiddies boot camp hi

“Good, I see our stocks are already rising, keep it up son,” Marcus tapped his son on the shoulder before leaving the office. Jay chuckled excitedly as soon as his father left. He was happy his father had finally gotten over the license incident. ‘If things went according to plan, he would make his marriage to Ariella an even bigger event,’ Jay thought to himself, smiling widely. Meanwhile, at Lopez Conglomerate, Ethan sat next to Loretta sipping a cup of coffee. Samantha suddenly walked in, excitement written all over her face. “Hey Sis, what's up, you look so excited,” Ariella hugged Samantha, beaming. “Yeah, she does, right,” Ethan chipped in, smiling. Samantha giggled as she withdrew from Loretta's arms, “Guess what, Sis!” Loretta furrowed her brows, “You know I can't guess, so what is it, Sam, out with it already!” Loretta’s response did the opposite of dampening Samantha’s mood, “Stanberry’s art exhibition is tonight!” Samantha broke the news, laughing. Loretta frowned

But suddenly, she broke off in the middle of her statement the moment she saw Ethan. “Huh, you again? How the heck did you get in here?” Emiliano gritted his teeth as soon as he saw Ethan, “This is unbelievable! Are you all blind? How can anyone in their right senses see this jackass and call him an important fellow!” Emiliano's remark made several of the guests frown instantly with some of them struggling to restrain themselves from hitting him. Emiliano smiled, confident that they wouldn't dare touch him as they all knew who he was. Ethan shook his head, “There are blind people here but they certainly aren't any of these people.” Ariella sneered, “Are you trying to convince us to pretend with you, to forget that you are nothing but filth? Sorry, but that's never going to happen!” Jay gave Ariella a coquettish look, as if trying to make Ethan jealous, “Forget about that loser, baby, we came here to appreciate the beautiful world of art and maybe spend some money, something that
