Rags to Stardom Chapter 31
Henry walked into Ethan's office with Tim following closely behind him.Henry's impression of Ethan suddenly changed as he stepped into his majestic office.“Was this not the fellow my cousin claimed was a nobody?” He whispered, trying to make sense of everything.First, he was convinced that Ethan was an important person, for him to have made them lose in a matter of seconds a contract that had taken them months to secure for months.But then his cousin said he investigated Ethan and it turned out that he was the divorced live-in-son-in law of the Gray family who was recently released from jail, and so his impression about Ethan changed again.Not until Nolan Perez came knocking on their door with a 2 billion dollar too-good-to-true merger deal for a so-called nobody! “Who goes to such lengths to fight a nobody?” He had asked himself.“Mr. Campbell to what do I owe this visit,” Ethan broke his chain of thoughts with his powerful voice.Henry could sense the coldness in his voice but

“Grandfather please hold on!” Henry yelled as walked and saw that his grandfather was about to sign the last part of the document for the merger.Morrison furrowed his brow, pausing to listen to his youngest grandson.“What's this rat up to?” Lucas cursed under his breath, angry that his cousin had stopped their grandfather from completely signing the merger documents.Henry was glad he had made it just in time, a few more seconds and it would have been too late.“Grandfather, we don't need the merger anymore, we have our contract back!” He announced, causing everyone's eyes to widen.“Hahaha…We have our contract back!” Lucas snorted, imitating his cousin mockingly.“How is that even possible? Grandfather, please don't pay him any attention, let's not keep Mr. Perez waiting,” another member of the Campbell family added.“Grandfather, I'm just coming from Mr. Banks office and after apologizing to him, he agreed to return the contract to us on the condition that you allow me to oversee

Ethan woke up in the middle of the night, sweating profusely.It was the same dream he had a couple of nights ago that had woken him up.“Why won't it go away,” he asked himself.“Okay, I've received your message, my lord,” he yelled at the medallion on his neck as if talking to someone on the other end of it.Since he was yet to figure out the meaning of the dream, he found it difficult going back to sleep each time he had it.He peered at his bedside clock, “Huh, it's just nine minutes past four,” he grumbled, unhappy that his sleep had been cut short so early in the morning.An idea suddenly popped into his head, ‘Why not hit the gym,’ ‘Yeah why didn't I think of that?’ he thought as a smile suddenly appeared on his face. Since he had never used the villa's gym facility, he welcomed the idea with open arms.Within a few minutes, he had already changed into his workout clothes and he dashed off instantly in the direction of the gym.Suddenly, a slim figure appeared from the shadows

Ethan's piercing glare scared Titus making him almost piss on himself.“I..I..still have no…idea what you are talking about,” he responded fearfully.Slap…Ethan's slap stunned the security men as it sent Titus rolling on the ground.Loretta's gaze remained the same as she had seen Ethan slap thugs countless times.“You were here this morning while I was at the gym, were you not?”“I know because I perceived the smell of that thing you just dropped but I assumed it was coming from outside, so I didn't think anything too serious of it.”“You must have slipped in using Laura's key card. So what, you came in to poison me?” He's revelation shocked the security men as their eyes widened.“Start talking before I lose my patience,” he warned Titus through gritted teeth.“I didn't know she was going to drink it. It was meant for you,” he finally admitted, shocking everyone. Titus couldn't stand Ethan's menacing scare anymore and he was scared of what he would do to him if he didn't speak up,

“Isn't this the useless freeloader who had somehow found his way into the arms of another wealthy family after being kicked out of the Gray family?”“Why does he make me shiver with just a glare,” he asked himself.“I'm sure it's nothing. He may have picked that up to frighten some people, but such tricks would only worsen things for him here,” he concluded in his heart before pointing at Ethan.“Seems you've gone blind. Even the dumbest of my men would feast on you…”There was a loud sound followed by a crashing sound as Mathias dropped to the ground cringing in pain before he could even finish his sentence.“Don't just look at him you nitwits, kill him,” he yelled, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.His men quickly surrounded Ethan, glaring at him with stern faces.“I'm in a really foul mood now boys. Your boss' little stunt just cost the life of an innocent soul. It's him I came here for but if you chose to stand in my way, it's your funeral.Ethan gently placed the pizza

Ethan's gaze turned cold and he held the steering wheel so hard that his veins almost popped.“What did you just say?” He asked like he was unsure of what he had just heard.“The anonymous user that hired Mathias was Emiliano Gray,” Loretta repeated herself, unsure of what he was going to do next.Ethan gritted his teeth, “So having my mother killed wasn't enough for them, they also tried to have me killed? Alright then!” He said nothing else as he finally pulled up in front of the office complex.***Morrison Campbell sat down, depression written on his face. Since the day he signed the merger documents, he had been restless. It wasn't that he wasn't aware of what it meant when he was signing the documents but he had no choice.Many years ago, Morrison had accidentally killed a 12-year-old girl because he was drunk and driving. He was still in college at the time and had gone to a party with some friends where he had too much to drink.Morrison frowned, “Young people do stupid things

Lucas frowned, unsure of what Henry meant.He simply smiled and ignored him.Meanwhile, Ethan and Loretta ended the day early as they both needed to clear their head and determine the next step to take.Loretta still felt really betrayed because of all the effort she had put into the prototype but she was shocked when Ethan suggested they work on another prototype for the listening device.“We have something Nolan doesn't have. We have you, so let's surprise them by making an even better listening device,” he told Loretta with an encouraging smile.“But what if Nolan steals it again before we actually launch it,” she asked.Since Ethan joined Lopez Conglomerate, he has been pushing for more products to expand their product line and go beyond what they initially did at Lopez Conglomerate.“That's not going to happen again. Nolan will meet his downfall soon enough. Besides, his spies already left before we found them out, so we have nothing to worry about anymore.”“Alright, so what are

Nolan frowned, “Is that the reason you barged into my office? Is it my fault that you failed to read the content of what you signed?”“What? So you only used me?” Lucas couldn't believe what had just happened.“Just like you and your father were trying to use me.”Lucas was shocked, “What do you mean? My father had no hand in this. This was between me and you.”Nolan laughed scornfully, “So you think your grandfather signing the merger documents was dumb luck? If that's what you thought, then you are more stupid than I've been giving you credit for.”“You should have listened to your cousin but then, I paid you handsomely for your services,” he winked, laughing so hard that he almost choked.“I’m going to kill you!” He yelled, reaching out to grab Nolan but his bodyguard stopped him swiftly.“Seems you have run out of use to my boss. I suggest you leave and never return.”Before Lucas could cause any more trouble, the bodyguard yanked him from the ground and took him outside.As soon

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.
