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

It became obvious to Ethan that Mr. Martini was terrified of Andre. Emiliano, Martha, Ariella, and Jay who had paid their respect to Andre immediately he walked into the hall, and glared at Ethan, sneering, “It seems there were is no limit to the misbehavior of this good for-nothing! Of all the paintings to misbehave with and he chose that one? Even a fool can tell that such a painting is worth a lot!” They exchanged all manner of mocking comments, raising their voices so Ethan could hear them. “And who is talking about the painting? I'm talking about the entire building! I want to buy it!” Ethan suddenly responded with a mischievous grin. Several eyes instantly widened the moment they heard Ethan's words. Even Loretta and Samantha were shocked by his response! Why in the world would he want to buy an art exhibition center? Mr. Martini stuttered as he tried to speak, “Mr. Banks….I….are…what…. what are you saying?” The art exhibition center had actually been struggling in reality,

But Ethan didn't pay much attention to his words, instead, he waved at him, “I'm not obligated to prove anything to you, so think anything you want!” “As for you!” Ethan suddenly turned to Andre Camino, “I'm giving you a couple of days to return everything you stole from this building, I'm aware that you've sold most of the artworks you stole, so I suggest you go back to retrieve them! If you fail to do as I say,” Ethan suddenly turned to Ariella, Jay, Emiliano, and Martha before he continued…..“you would automatically be making yourself my enemy and I don't spare my enemies!” Ethan suddenly gestured at the guards who had been in the hall watching everything unfolding. “Get this garbage out of my sight!” Ethan's command stunned everyone! Mr. Martini’s eyes widened instantly as soon as he heard Ethan's command. He didn't think Ethan had it in him to speak to someone as dangerous as Andre Camino! The guards immediately obeyed Ethan's command, dragging Andre Camino by the collar, out
