Ethan wondered who the sender of the message was as read the message again while trying not to worry Loretta by allowing the content of the message to bother him.

The message was a warning from someone unfamiliar to him telling him that he was going to lose someone precious to him for taking away someone precious from them.

“Who could this be?” He whispered to himself, furrowing his eyebrows.

“Is there a problem, you look disturbed?” Loretta interrupted his thoughts.

“Oh, it's nothing. Sorry, I was just a little distracted,’’ he responded with a wide smile, trying to hide the concern that she spotted on his face.

“You would be surprised what money can cause people to do,” he quickly responded to her comment about the Campbells.

Loretta stared at him for a second wondering if he was telling the truth about him being alright but then she just concluded that it was probably due to him being really tired.

    Jimmy Larson suddenly took keen interest in Ethan as he watched the Cedarwood Police Department acknowledge his help in catching Mr. Morrison’s kidnappers.“Take it easy,” he yelled as one of the girls ran her fingers all over his body.“Let's take this party to my room,” he stood up to leave but his phone rang, causing him to stop briefly.“Have you seen the news yet?” The voice at the other end asked in a feminine voice.“Yes, I have. He doesn't look that tough to me,” Jimmy boasted.“All I want are assurances that you would give me what I've always wanted if I take care of this problem for you.”“You have them. I just hope you won't let me down” the voice at the other end responded before ending the call.Jimmy licked his lips in anticipation.All he had to do was to break the legs of Ethan and he would have her all to himself.His plan was to have her for good but he knew he had to take things one step at a time and right now all he wanted to do was to have a good time with the la

    Andrew was taken aback by William's remark. Even a one-eyed man would have observed the excitement in him.“Okay, so tell me. I'm listening,” Andrew's response sounded somewhat skeptical as he doubted that Williams was going to tell him anything that could change his mood.“The viper has agreed to your offer.” Andrew's eyes widened as processed what Williams had just told him.“What did you just say?” He asked in disbelief.“Dude, he accepted your offer. All your worries are over.”Andrew suddenly chuckled excitedly.“This is the best news I've heard in a long time!”“You know what, I think I'll have that pie I've been hearing you talk about.”“Hahaha, see what I told you? You wait till you have a taste,” Williams chuckled.“Hey Anna, get me and my friend here a plate of your special apple pie each.”In less than five minutes both Andrew and Williams were served their pies and Andrew wasted no time in emptying his plate.“Hahaha, you are quite predictable my friend.

    Jonathan and all the others who had been looking down on Ethan were thrown into shock when they saw how respectful Henry was to Ethan.“Isn't that a member of the Campbell family? Why is he speaking to our former janitor that way?”“I'm sure there must be a mix-up somewhere.”“You must be mistaken, sir. I think you are addressing the wrong person. Don't be fooled by his appearance or the gorgeous lady beside him. He must have fooled her as well. This is our former janitor who also happens to be an ex-convict. I'm even surprised that he's still allowed to roam free.” As if hearing what the others were thinking, Jonathan took it upon himself to clarify things.Slap…The sound of a slap echoed throughout the VIP section, stunning everyone there.“How dare you speak about Mr. Banks that way. Don't you have any manners?” Henry’s action wiped off the mocking expressions on their faces, replacing them with discombobulation.The door to the VIP section suddenly swung open and Emiliano, Ariell

    Jimmy Larson had been watching Ethan for some time after Sarah demanded that he handle him more quickly.Although he had initially assured her that he would scare off Ethan but he didn't do anything until now.“I knew you would come begging, my sweet Sarah,” he smiled while licking his lips. “Desperation is indeed a powerful weapon.” He chuckled loudly.He was actually the unknown person who sent a message to the Grays about Ethan's presence at their hospital.He had been watching Ethan for some time now and when he thought he had seen the perfect opportunity, he decided to act immediately.“Now I only need to sit back and watch the fireworks begin,” Jimmy whispered with a smirk.Meanwhile, back in the hospital, Martha’s embarrassment quickly turned into fury when she heard Ethan call Ariella a leftover.“If only Andrew were here, he would have put you in your place for talking trash about my daughter.”“And what would your ex-convict of a son have done?” Ethan sneered, causing Martha

    Ethan's question drew the attention of everyone in the room.“Did he just ask that?”“I'm sure he's only saying that to draw attention away from himself.” The Campbells continued to whisper among themselves.“What would you even know about such an expensive jewelry? Even if you worked your ass off for ten lifetimes you still won't be able to afford it!” Ariella roared at Ethan.Emiliano shook his head at this point, “It's only a waste of time explaining anything to him. Such expensive jewelries are far beyond him.”“It's only a real man like Jay that can get such a rare and expensive item under such short notice,” Martha praised Jay while eyeing Ethan disdainfully.Ethan calmly drew out something from the bag he had been carrying.The appearance of what he drew out glittered, such that even Jay's golden guardian pendant paled in comparison.It looked like a gift item and the merely looking at the quality of the packing, one could tell that it was one of those items that was probably g

    Ariella reached for her mother instinctively, trying to help her steady herself.The looks on the faces of the Campbells made Martha regret following Ethan into Morrison's room.“Who would have thought Mr. Banks was the one with the original? I guess looks can really be deceptive!”“Mr. Walters has only succeeded in making a fool of himself!”The Campbells began to look down on Jay.“I'm sure Jay was cheated!” Emiliano quickly announced, trying to save face.“The merchant he visited must have played on his intelligence, by selling him a fake. The real question should be how this lowlife was able to get the original!” Martha jumped in as soon as she regained her composure.Ethan smiled, as he watched them make up all manner of excuses to save face in front of the Campbells.“I don't owe you any explanation! After all, the gift wasn't for you.” Ethan snapped.Morrison's smile suddenly froze as he began to gasp for air. A few seconds later he became unconscious.Everyone in the room inst

    The voice of Loretta shocked everyone since she had been silent all along.“That's not happening, Miss,” Jay responded, looking at Loretta with dark interest. “Some of us can see right through this freeloader. I would advise you to ditch him and find someone with better prospects,” he added, licking his lips.“I’ll pretend like I didn't see you making advances at her. Try it again and you'll be lying right next to Mr. Morrison over there,” there was something about Ethan's voice this time that scared Jay to his bones.“How dare you accuse my boyfriend of looking at this…” “Hey, watch it! I've been more than nice to you guys but it would be a mistake to test me right now. You better address her with respect!” Ethan interrupted her with a stern warning.“Who do you think you are to speak to any of us that way? Didn't you just call my daughter a leftover just moments ago?” Martha gritted her teeth.“And was any of that untrue? Besides, was it any fault of mine that the moppet you all ca

    A few minutes after the doctor administered the drug, Morrison opened his eyes to the shock and excitement of everyone in his room.The doctor beamed with joy instantly, “I told you all to trust in my abilities. I wouldn't have even been contacted in the first place if I didn't know my onions in the medical profession, he boasted.“Didn't I tell you not to listen to that punk? It's obvious he was only seeking for attention with his ridiculous remarks,” Martha chipped in, glaring at the nurse who was just rounding up with her face. She felt like slapping her again but changed her mind and just watched her leave the room.“I knew he was only bluffing, that's why I offered to kneel before him and wipe his shoes with my face!” Jay and Loretta laughed scornfully.The Campbells who were initially excited when they saw Morrison open his eyes, quickly gathered around him. But their excitement soon faded when they noticed he wasn't saying anything.“Dr. Philip, why is my father not saying anyt

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!
