Rags to Stardom Chapter 302
Two weeks later, Gabriella, her father, and both of her brothers sat down in an opulently furnished office, and from the expression on their faces, one could easily tell that they were impressed with what they saw. “I hope I didn't keep you guys waiting for too long?” A voice suddenly sounded from behind them, causing them to turn around instinctively. “I was in an important meeting,” Ethan added as he and Loretta sat down. Gabriella flashed him a smile that made Loretta slightly uncomfortable. Thomas avoided looking at Ethan directly in the eyes and simply bent his head, staring at the floor. Daniel on the other hand seemed to have developed a lot of respect for Ethan, after all, not everyone could lock up and release their father at will. “Mr. Banks, it was nothing.” Mr. Wedge responded with a sheepish smile. Loretta instantly frowned as soon as she heard Mr. Wedge’s response. “Is your father okay?” She suddenly turned to Gabriella to ask in a slightly low tone. Gabriella sm

Ethan explained to everyone's surprise. Even Mr. Wedge was just hearing of how Gabriella got separated from her real parents for the first time. “I made several attempts to locate your family but unfortunately all my efforts were in vain, so I and my wife decided to take you as ours,” Mr. Wedge chipped in with a sober expression on his face. Ethan glanced at Gabriella with a big smile on his face, “And that's why I had him and Thomas released from the penitentiary. His good deed is the reason why I have you today!” Ethan spoke to Gabriella, holding her hands. “We have a lot of catching up to do,” Ethan suddenly announced, slightly squeezing Gabriella's hands. “By the way….there's something else…something else that you must know,” Mr. Wedge spoke to Ethan with a worried look on his face. Ethan furrowed his brows, “And what could that be?” *** “So son, have you decided on how you want to handle that fool?” Donnie Wilkins asked his son who had recently returned to Cedarwood but ha

“Their last known location is Ballpoint Cinemas, bring them!” As a high-ranking member of the Navy, Warren had several men under his command who obeyed him without any hesitation. “Yes sir!” They all roared as they marched out. Warren smiled as he walked in to join his father and Farrell. *** Three hours later Ethan and his sister along with Loretta and Samantha walked out of the cinema with so much happiness written on their faces. “Your acting skills are super impressive!” Loretta praised Samantha. “They are right?” A masculine voice suddenly joined in the conversation. “What?” Both ladies yelled in surprise. “Grandpa! Father! I can't believe you both came!” Samantha yelled excitedly. Both Ian and Maurice had planned on surprising them, so they pretended to have an important business meeting on the same day as her movie launch just so they could surprise her. Maurice took Samantha in his arms, “Of course dear, we wouldn't have missed it for anything in the world.” “I'm ex

“And what is this that I hear? Has that good-for-nothing been brought before us in chains?” Madam Comfort asked with so much excitement. “Yes grandmother, my men are dragging him in as we speak,” Warren responded, grinning widely. All the other members of the Wilkins family rained praises on Warren for finally bringing Ethan to his knees. Donnie was filled with pride, hearing them praise his son. Suddenly Ethan, Gabriella, Loretta, and the others walked into the Wilkins' family mansion with the officers walking behind them. Madam Comfort glared at them in shock, confusion written on her face, “What sort of nonsense is this? Why isn't he in chains? And who are these with him?” Madam Comfort and the rest of the Wilkins family were actually expecting Ethan, Gabriella, Loretta, and Samantha but now Ian and Maurice were also with him. Warren gritted his teeth, shooting his men a devious glare, “Is this a joke or something? How dare you boys repudiate my orders?” Several members of t

After a few minutes, another set of military vehicles drove into the premises of the Wilkins family with several men alighting from the vehicles and walking into the mansion. Warren became excited when he saw the men, “Boy! You came just in time, seize this fool! The rest of you, I'll deal with your insubordination later!” Warren dished out orders like the high-ranking naval officer that he was. After several years in the Navy, Warren had risen to a rank that many other officers could only dream of! He had a battalion of naval officers at his command, so when he heard what Ethan did to his family, he returned as quickly as he could, vowing to make him pay. “Sir, what are your orders?” The commanding officer of the men who had just arrived ignored Warren like he didn't even exist, directing all their attention to Ethan. All the members of the Wilkins family glared at the officers in shock. Why are they disregarding Warren and showing Ethan so much respect? Warren shook his head in

“Admiral Jenkins told me never to step foot in the cantonment again!” Warren finally responded after several seconds of silence. Warren’s sudden response shook Madam Comfort and the other members of the Wilkins family. The once excited looks on all their faces quickly turned into one of confusion and shock. Warren Wilkins, the high-ranking naval officer who brought so much pride to the Wilkins family was now an ordinary fellow! While Madam Comfort was still lost in thought, Donnie’s phone suddenly rang out. Donnie initially ignored the call but because his phone wouldn't stop ringing, he reached for it, tapping on the screen with checking who the caller was. “Donnie Wilkins here, how may I help you?” Donnie asked casually. But suddenly his mouth dropped as he turned around gawking at Ethan. “Father, who was that?” Farrell asked, taking his father's phone to see who had just called. Farrell furrowed his brows as he recognized the number. “Father, please say something, what hap

Gabriella and Loretta walked into his office at that instant, smiling to themselves. The two ladies had suddenly become friendly to Ethan's surprise. “Hey bro, what's up?” Gabriella asked, kissing him on the cheek. She suddenly caught sight of the video by Damian Crown, “Hmm, don't tell me you play poker?” Loretta stared at Ethan, frowning, “Isn't that gambling?” Ethan chuckled, knowing how Loretta felt about gambling. “Yes, I'm thinking of accepting the challenge!” Ethan announced casually. Loretta's eyes widened instantly, “Not that I fancy gambling or anything of the sort but isn't Damian Crown the best poker player in all of Cedarwood?” Gabriella raised an eyebrow, “Really? He is that good?” “Yeah, he is. He has never lost a poker game before!” Loretta responded, still gawking at Ethan. “If he is that good then there's no need to accept the challenge, Ethan,” Gabriella spoke to her brother with a concerned look. Ethan suddenly got up from his seat, “Relax girls, it's just

Loretta on the other hand was shocked that Ethan was not only risking 30 million dollars but was also using his Maserati as collateral. She tried making several discreet gestures at Ethan to register her disagreement but Ethan simply smiled in response. Gabriella simply glared at her brother, both shocked and impressed with how daring he was. Damian Crown seemed to have noticed the look of displeasure on Loretta's face because suddenly he chuckled excitedly, “It appears the fellow here has met his own side of the deal so let the game begin!” A few minutes later, Loretta gawked at Ethan as Damian Crown initiated a transfer of 300 million dollars to Ethan and also returned the keys to the Maserati. Ethan had defeated Damian Crown! Damian Crown was still in shock as he watched Ethan leave with Gabriella and Loretta. Even those who had been murmuring and mocking Ethan could only glare at him in shock as he walked out. The great Damian Crown had been defeated by an ordinary-looking f
