She quickly called one the guards that she saw, “Guard!”“Slap…”But before she could say anything else, a heavy slap landed on her face, “You again? Didn't I just warn you?” The head guard suddenly appeared with a dark look on his face.He had been keeping an eye over the exclusive VIP section from a distance because of Ethan and had spotted Ariella loitering around the exclusive VIP section.Ariella yelled in pain as she quickly grabbed Jay's hand, trying to get him to defend her, “Guard, my girlfriend meant no harm, she only wants to have a word with that fellow in there,” Jay responded, pointing at Ethan through the transparent glass.“Slap…” The head guard slapped Jay instantly.“You both are constituting a nuisance here, get lost or I'll be forced to throw you out, I won't warn you again!” The head guard clenched his jaws.He had spotted Ethan staring in their direction so he quickly slapped Jay in a bid to curry some favor with Ethan.Jay's cheek flashed red from the slap he ha

Gabriella stared at Ethan as she strode to her father's side, “Dad, was he the reason we returned?”Her gaze remained on Ethan even as she spoke to Mr. Wedge.“Yes, my dear, look what he did to your brother's face!” Mr. Wedge pointed at Thomas' face while staring at Ethan.“I'll ask you one last time, what are you doing in our apartment? You have twenty seconds before I lose my patience!” Ethan glared at them coldly.Mr. Wedge suddenly began to chuckle, “This dude is quite bold, I love a man who is bold!” He glanced at Daniel as he spoke, a tinge of mockery in his voice.Mr. Wedge's gaze suddenly darkened and his men suddenly surrounded Ethan.“Now Ethan, or whatever you are called, I understand that you do not know who we are so you can think of this beating we are about to give you as a special orientation program!” Mr. Wedge and Thomas chuckled, his men also joining them.Samantha and Loretta instantly became afraid.Mr. Wedge didn't look like he came to mess around as his men were

Ethan sank into a sofa in his bedroom.Since Ian's penthouse had five rooms, all three of them occupied one each.Ethan's mind suddenly drifted to the small piece of paper and old-looking key the young lad at the park had given to him.He had been so occupied with improving Samantha and Loretta's emotional state that he had forgotten to check out the address on the paper.‘What if it was a trap?’ He thought to himself.He took out the key from his pocket, staring at it for a while.There were inscriptions on it that appeared strange to him.‘What if the lad or the man who hired the kid mistook me for someone else?’ He asked himself.Meanwhile, Mr. Wedge burned with rage as he paced continuously in the other penthouse.“Dad, I know you are pissed but you need to calm down!” Gabriella tried to get him to relax.“Calm down you say? That nobody made a mess of me and you tell me to calm down?” Mr. Wedge kicked the table in front of him, sending it flying instantly.“Who does he think he is

It took the men almost an hour to comb through the entire penthouse.The leader of the team had a rather frustrated look.He glared at Ethan a couple of times but Ethan remained still, enjoying the show he was watching on the television.All the men soon returned to the living room, exhaustion written on their faces.The team leader paced around a couple of times, but halted when he heard Loretta's voice, “What's with all the noise…” Loretta suddenly paused on sighting the strange men in the living room.Ethan turned around instantly, “Hey, you are up! Sorry about the noise, I believe they are done with their search and were just about to leave!” Ethan responded, smiling at the leader while giving him an angry glass.“Search? What search?” Loretta asked in confusion.“I'm not sure myself, perhaps the man here can explain to you,” he responded, still staring at the leader.The leader cleared his throat, obviously unsettled by Ethan's stare, “We are just carrying out a routine search, s

John Stewart began to apologize profusely, “Mr. Banks, I'm truly sorry for this embarrassment, I didn't sanction it but he rest assured that I will get to the bottom of this!” John Stewart crashed his fist into his desk, causing a loud bang that startled his subordinates outside his office.Ethan ended the call with a satisfactory smile dancing around his lips.Loretta folded her arms in front of her chest, giving the men a disdainful stare.“Hahahaha……” The men suddenly broke into another fit of laughter.They all held a similar condescending expression on their faces as they stared at Ethan.The leader suddenly took a few steps towards Ethan, snorting, “Was that performance meant to achieve anything? Come on, I'm sure you can do better!” He mocked Ethan.The leader and his men were initially troubled by Ethan's casual tone with John Stewart but after thinking about it for a while, they quickly dispelled the thought and concluded that Ethan was only putting up a show and had probably

Samantha suddenly asked while glaring at the men.She didn't believe the routine check excuse that they had given to Ethan.The men stared at each other and then at their leader.Meanwhile, at the other penthouse, Mr. Wedge was seen smiling with great excitement.Since he received a message on his mobile phone, he has been unusually happy.“Dad, you look extremely happy, don't tell me those fools took the bait,” Thomas dropped into the couch next to his father.After what happened the previous night, he didn't expect to see his father in such high spirits, so he guessed something must have happened.Mr Wedge chuckled, “Son, those punks are as corrupt as we are, the only difference is the side they are on!”Thomas instantly became excited. Since his encounter with Ethan, he hadn't had a peaceful night's sleep. The past couple of nights had been filled with pain and panic.He even found himself waking up several times at night to ask one or more of his men to do a perimeter sweep.But

Loretta scowled at Gabriella as the eyes of both ladies met.A certain uneasiness overwhelmed Gabriella.Loretta suddenly took a few steps to where Ethan stood and slipped her delicate hands into his palms, her gaze swiftly returning to meet that of Gabriella.Gabriella gave a slight frown as if responding to the non-verbal message from Loretta.The men from the financial crimes unit suddenly halted their search and returned to the living room where Ethan and the others stood.“Ahh..gentlemen, I see you are done with your search…..” Mr. Wedge suddenly halted in the middle of his remark as he spotted a familiar backpack in the hands of one of the men.Mr. Wedge's jaws dropped instantly as his gaze moved from the man with the backpack to their leader before finally settling on Ethan.Thomas, Daniel, and Gabriella also stared at the backpack and instantly observed the look on their father's face.“How….How….did you get that? Where did it come from? Did someone put you up to this?” Mr. We

Mr. Wedge beamed with excitement as he spoke, “Officer, what if I told you that the bag in your hand does not belong to me!”The leader furrowed his brows, “What do you mean, Mr. Wedge? What are you trying to say?”Mr. Wedge's eyes sparkled with even more excitement, “That bag doesn't belong to me! It was planted here by the same fellow that brought you guys here!”The leader stared at Ethan momentarily as he thought about what Mr. Wedge said.Thomas was even more confused than the officers as he knew for certain that the bag belongs to his father. He stared at his father with curiosity, observing his every move like a chess player learning from a master.Ethan narrowed his gaze at Mr. Wedge, casting an icy glare at him.A chilly feeling shot through Mr. Wedge and he took a few steps backwards in terror.“You…You…. should open it. Open the bag and I'll prove it to you!” Mr. Wedge added shakily.Loretta stared at Ethan at that instant, swallowing hard.From the looks of it, Mr. Wedge h
