You dare threaten my family?” Mr. Douglas suddenly yelled, gritting his teeth.“You have ten seconds to decide or I'll make the decision for you!” Ethan suddenly snapped as his patience wore thin.Mr. Douglas was about to speak when loud bang was suddenly heard as he dropped to the ground.“Time up!” Ethan announced as he swiftly took out Mr. Douglas’ men, including Randall.In another few minutes, Zack arrived with several other men from the Cedarwood Police Department and picked up Mr. Douglas and all his men, hauling them into a police van.Ethan simply waved as Zack and the officers drove off.***Loretta

Why don't I show you around?” Samantha offered, taking Gabriella’s hand.Ethan chuckled, amazed at how relaxed Gabriella was becoming with Loretta and Samantha.“She is adjusting quite well, reminds me of someone!” Loretta suddenly told Ethan while staring at Gabriella and Samantha as they left.Ethan's attention instantly shifted to the beautiful lady standing beside him, “And who might that be?” Ethan asked, chortling.Loretta rolled her eyes at him, “You, of

“You look worried, is there a problem?” Gabriella asked Ethan a few seconds after she sat down.Loretta had also noticed the look on his face and was also staring at him, waiting for his reply.Ethan simply chortled, “I'm okay ladies, just little setback but it's nothing that I can't handle. So what do you think about our operations here? Can we compete with those at May Paradise City?” Ethan asked, smartly changing the topic.Unknown to both Loretta and Gabriella, the little setback that Ethan was referring to, was a loss of 300 million dollars!Gabriella raised an eyebrow, “Compete? I think you will more than just compete. I think you will actually give them a run for their money! Loretta told me you were responsible for most of the upgrades that I just saw! That's crazy, Ethan. You literally rebuilt the place!” Gabriella gawked at Ethan. She felt so proud of him.Ethan chortled, “That's not entirely true, she is obviously giving me more credit than I deserve! It’s a team effort!” E

Bring him out right now or I'll….” “Or you will do what?” Ethan suddenly appeared, cutting Chuck off.Chuck furrowed his brows as he turned to face Ethan.Ethan's sudden appearance coupled with his intimidating look on his face, threw Chuck off guard for only a few seconds before his cold resolve returned.“Look kid…..” Chuck was about to respond when he laid eyes on Gabriella.Licking his lips in a flirtatious manner, he gestured at one of his men, “Bring me that damsel, will you?”“Bang!!!” The thug hard barely tak

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

You deserve a little time out like Chuck, don't you think
