Rags to Stardom Chapter 67
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

The sound of a loud thud caused Ethan to turn around.Ethan wasn't too surprised to find Jay and Ariella kneeling before him. He figured out that something must have happened to Morrison like he had warned them.“What's with the drama now?” Ethan sneered at them.“We..we.. need your help. Please help us.” Ariella fought hard before the words could even leave her mouth.Her mother had taken both her and Jay aside and convinced them to quickly go after Ethan to beg him.At first, Ariella and Jay had refused to even contemplate such a thing.“Mother, how can you even suggest such a thing, knowing fully well how much trouble that lowlife has caused us!” Ariella had argued with her mother. But Martha had reminded her of what would happen to their prestigious hospital if such news came out now especially after the fire incident at their lab.Even though Martha has convinced Ariella and Jay to go after Ethan, she still had other plans.“You! Come here.” Martha called one of the nurses.“Take

Philip looked at the list that Ethan gave to him and furrowed his brows.“How do you know about all these when you are not even a doctor?” He asked with confusion written all over his face.“Just do as I say and get me those items,” Ethan responded, ignoring his question.Jonathan also took a look at the list and laughed, “Have you gone insane? Do you have any idea what these things are used for?”“You already concluded that Mr. Morrison was dead did you not? So what's with all the questions? Or did you skip some classes in medical school?” Ethan asked disdainfully.“You either allow the man to do his thing or you leave,” Henry's father responded as his temper began to rise.Even Henry was shocked at his Father's outburst as he hardly ever got angry.“Dad, please calm down. I believe grandfather will be all right.” Henry tried to calm his Father down while giving Jonathan a warning stare.Ethan found Martha's silence strange and briefly stared at her but she shot him an icy glance tha
