“What's going on?”

“Did the Lex family go bankrupt?”

“What are you saying?... Is that even possible?... I mean, look at that man, does he look like the type of person to have such power.”

“Then you explain why Miss Lex is losing her mind while mentioning bankruptcy repeatedly.”

As those in line began to murmur amongst themselves again, confused as to what was happening, Mr. Cherish couldn't also understand as he watched Letitia break down.

As she dropped her phone, she glared at Ethan who was staring back calmly.

“What did you do?” She questioned.

Ethan smiled. “I did nothing.”

“You liar!... How dare you try to play a trick like this. Don't think I'd let you go scot-free, you are dead!... I'm going to lock you up for daring to steal from my family.”

“Do you have any proof that I stole from you?” Ethan calmly inquired.

Letitia froze as she realized that she didn't.

Ethan had made a casual phone call and though she could claim that it was the phone call that caused her family to go bank

    Ethan took out the phone and realized it was Poltergeist calling.Raising a brow, he wondered why she was calling him back so soon.Perhaps to bother him but considering she did something for him it was only right he reciprocated the favor.She had shown she was willing to take their alliance seriously and not doing so would be detrimental to him.With that understanding, he turned to Rebecca who was waiting.“You head in first and look around. If you see one that catches your fancy before I join you, then call my attention to it. I need to take this call.”“Do we need to get me a cellphone?... I don't think I need one.”“And I insist you get one.”“Alright,” Rebecca replied, unwilling to make trouble for Ethan.She left for the store while Ethan picked up the call.“Yeah, I'm listening.”“You took your sweet time.” Poltergeist teased.Ethan let out a sigh. “Is there something up?”“Oh my, so rude, can't I call you to check on you?”“I doubt you have that much free time on your hands.

    "I'm not a thief, I didn't even touch the phone."Rita snorted. “Oh please just stop lying and tell the truth already. Well, it doesn't matter, once the police arrive, I'm sure you'd start singing like a canary.""No, please…" Rebecca pleaded but they all turned deaf ears to her pleas.Ethan glanced at Rita who immediately tensed up at his stern gaze."How did you know that Rebecca was the one that stole the phone?""That…""You'd best not lie because I do not work well with liars.""I…""Look here sir, I don't appreciate you bothering my daughter with unnecessary questions." Lena suddenly said, drawing attention away from Rita.Ethan pursed his lips. “So you guys are allowed to falsely accuse my friend of a crime while I'm not allowed to investigate if it's true?”“Falsely accuse?... The phone was found on her person and she hadn't paid for it. If that's not stealing, what is?”"Someone must have put it in there," Ethan remarked.Lena balked as she replied. "Assumptions.""..."

    Seeing Ethan work, Rebecca couldn't quite understand what he was doing but seeing him so focused, she decided not to disturb him.She felt bad for making trouble for him and swore that she'd be more careful next time to avoid putting a stain on his name. Suddenly, Ethan remarked with a smirk on his lips “Bingo.” Before Rebecca could understand why he said that, he began to make some calls.***"Mom, I was so scared. I thought I'd have to apologize to that poor bitch but thankfully you saved us in the nick of time. Ugh, that guy was so scary." Rita remarked as they waited at a corner for the tension to dissipate.As it was, those in the store were slightly hostile toward the mother and daughter duo for falsely framing a person.The worst part was that they didn't even see anything wrong in what they had done.Lena chuckled. "Oh please, there's no way I'd have allowed us to beg that poor bitch. She should blame herself for being poor, why do we have to pay for it?”“Exactly, I mean, w

    Once Rebecca had gotten over her feelings, she accepted Ethan's offer with Lena and Rita remaining nothing more than dust compared to Ethan.Ethan quickly left while informing Lena that Rebecca would resume work as soon as possible so she had to make sure everything was prepared in advance.Just like that, the Lopez family was removed from the list of wealthy people on Rhodes Island.***Since Pez Brand was a fashion house, Ethan decided there was no need to go to a different store and instead went to the store and got Rebecca to choose a few items while taking the opportunity to introduce her to her new employees.Rebecca was overwhelmed judging from how she reacted to meeting the employees and how they treated her with utmost respect.She had never expected that the moment she left Nomansland, she'd turn into a CEO in an instant.It felt too good to be true, from being accused of stealing to owning a company.She couldn't help stealing a few glances at Ethan while wondering if he wa

    Karen returned with Aston who in turn was accompanied by several muscular men.Seeing them come in caused Anna to frown while Rebecca immediately got scared.Ethan didn't even react as he remained on his chair, bathing in the golden rays of the sun. It almost looked like he was sleeping.Seeing Anna and Rebecca react negatively caused Karen to remark. “You bastards, I told you I'd be back. Now let's see if you'd dare to hit me again in front of my man.”Aston inquired from Karen. “Was she the one that hit you?” Karen immediately nodded. “Yes, she was and all I did was ask her to politely let us borrow the pool for some time.”Anna gawked at her blatant lie. “Are you crazy?... Why would I hit you if you were polite? You were the one that attacked me and I merely defended myself.”“Hmmph, you should just stop lying now. Now that I'm back you can forget about getting away scot-free. You should have run before I got back.”“And why should I run?” “Still acting so tough. Fine then, mayb

    There were quite a few things Ethan didn't joke about and Anna was at the forefront of that list.She was the family he never had and harming her was tantamount to harming him which was a big no.So naturally, since Aston decided that he would misbehave, Ethan decided to misbehave as well.He didn't hesitate to hide his killing intent as he glared at Aston. “You dare!”Aston's bodyguards were taken aback by the sudden strike that knocked Aston to the ground but realizing that Ethan had attacked, they didn't hesitate to do the same as they attacked Ethan.Ethan quickly shoved Anna back to prevent her from getting injured before proceeding to deal with Aston's bodyguards without mercy.Usually, he'd let them off with a single punch, but this time, he wasn't feeling very lenient and so he dealt with them unrestrainedly, dealing several blows that would most likely see them remanded in the hospital for several weeks.Karen trembled at the sight of Aston and his men getting decimated by on

    Leilani let out a resigned sigh. “Yeah, you are right. If only she hadn't decided to go down that path.”Mark bit down on his lower lip but ultimately gave no response.“I guess we should get going then.”“Yeah, let's go.” Mark nodded.With that, Leilani nodded before rising to her feet and making her way outside.Meanwhile, Mark watched her back, his gaze flashing with malicious intent.***Outside, the hall was filled with numerous bachelors who had taken residence in the hotel.There were even those who had been called over by their friends, all of whom were gathered to watch the beautiful Leilani.Also known as the Untouched Rose, Leilani was the stuff of their wet dreams, with incredible beauty and an outstanding appearance.She was like a fairy unsullied by nature and for that reason, she was all the more alluring.Several wished to make her their mistress while others were more than okay with bedding her just once so they could have a taste of her.They didn't even bother to hi

    Falcon hadn't expected that there would still be someone seeking to throw his life away after he had expressed his interest in Leilani.He looked around, seeking to find out who was so bold, and soon, noticed him.The man seemed unassuming at first but on closer inspection, Falcon realized that he may not be a simple figure at all.Deciding to practice a bit of dialogue, he called one of his subordinates over and sent them to the unassuming man.Meanwhile, Ethan had just placed his bids resulting in a great deal of gazes flocking towards him.Naturally, he remained calm, not even bothering to place any of them in his gaze.“What are you doing?” Anna questioned at this juncture, slightly tensed by the number of people staring at them.Ethan chuckled. “Didn't you say the young lady was pitiful?”“Well, yes…”“So how about saving her?”“But we risk offending a great deal of people.”Ethan snorted. “How does that concern me?... I do what I want when I want. If anyone doesn't like it, they

    Ethan froze as he hadn't considered it but being asked such a question now, an answer quickly formed.“Then I will accept my fate and return to the hotel. But at least… let me try.” Aurora nodded. “Since you saved me… I have no reason to refuse your request. But then, how do you plan to help me regain my memories?”“I have my ways.” Ethan confidently replied.Looking down at her cup of cocoa, Aurora replied. “Fine then, I'll cooperate.”“Thank you.” Relieved that she accepted, Ethan didn't hesitate to activate [LifeGiver].Moving to sit beside Aurora, he asked for permission to touch her head which she gave after which he placed his hand on her temple and got to work.Aurora’s expression shifted as the deepest recesses of her mind were healed from the trauma she'd experienced due to the accident.However, it allowed her to figure out so many things that had been unclear to her before now.Gasping, she pulled away from Ethan's palm with the latter growing worried. “Is everything okay?

    With Ethan at the helm, he replied with conviction. “That woman is related to Rani and Leilani.”“Why do you say so?”“It's just a gut feeling.”“But didn't she die?”“Maybe she didn't. I mean, she was an Apostle who managed to escape the GK Council for a long time. What's the likelihood that she didn't do something to herself so they won't be able to find her?”“You have a point.”Pursing his lips, Ethan decided to test something out first.He called up the system tab. “Reach out to the God of Information.”[Reaching out… the God of Information has arrived]“Did your previous Apostle die?”[The God of Information is silent]“Damn it, answer the question!”[He says that he doesn't know. She forcibly ended her contract with him and even found a way to block his gaze to ensure he wouldn't find her]“Why would she do that?”[He has no idea. It happened too quickly for him to figure out]“I see.” Ethan immediately began to feel like there was something fishy going on.Regardless, he had t

If possible, would you like to regain your memories?”“... I don't know if I want to. Whenever I try to think back, only fear, regret, and apprehension await. What kind of life would be waiting for me if I did?”“That…”“I'm sorry but I need to go. Since the manager lost his job, I'd have to seek employment elsewhere.”“Aren't you curious?... To know if you forgot something really important in your past?” The woman remained quiet for a prolonged period before shaking her head. “If it's not with me now, it must not have been important.”With those words, she got to her feet and added. “I'll be taking my leave now.”Then she left, leaving Ethan feeling frustrated and Kiara curious.“Damn it!...

    Despite not knowing the woman at all, Ethan couldn't help but zero in on her as the blood within him surged like it had found its source.The woman seemed to be in discomfort as well as her expression shifted slightly.Noticing Ethan's reaction, Kiara inquired. “Is everything alright?”“... I'm not sure. I feel like I know that woman.”Glancing at the woman, Kiara shifted her attention back to Ethan, unsure of what to make of the situation.On getting to their table, the waitress, who looked to be in her late forties made eye contact with Ethan only to freeze as an indescribable emotion crossed her eyes.Instinctively, Ethan intoned. “You...”The next moment, there was a loud crash as the food spilled all over the ground, catching everyone present by surprise.The woman snapped out of the temporary shock she was in and immediately turned fearful as she moved to clean up the mess, her body trembling as she muttered repeatedly. “Oh no, oh no, oh no.” As Ethan tried to stand up to help

Just watch.”Then the video moved forward quickly before pausing to reveal when Vivian sneakily approached the man she accused of stealing and placed the necklace into his pocket herself.A flurry of gasps escaped the lips of those present at that moment.Ethan shifted his attention to her, his expression riddled with disappointment. “When people like you do shit like this, it makes others wonder if I only pick on the rich. I don't do that. My only wish is that people are treated equally regardless of how much money they have. If he had truly stolen your necklace, I would have been the one to mete out punishment without hesitation but this… what do you have to say for yourself, Ms. Vivian?”Vivian hesitated as several gazes filled wit

    A glance was enough for people to guess that the man she was pointing at was lower class.The man stuttered. “What…”Before he could say more, he was immediately tackled by two muscular men that served as guards for Vivian who was heiress to the Carris family wealth. “I didn't do anything. Let me go!” The man cried out but Vivian only snorted as she reached into his pocket and pulled out an expensive-looking necklace.“You thief, you dare to take my expensive necklace. Do you know how much I bought it?... I will make sure you pay for this.”Just as Vivian was about to order her men to act, Ethan arrived at the scene. “What's happening here?” Adjusting herself to look more appealing to him, Vivian replied. “This pauper dared to try and steal my necklace. I want him punished immediately!”Ethan frowned before glancing at the man.“Mr. Jones, I didn't do it. It's all a misunderstanding.”Vivian snorted. “Then where did I find the necklace?...

    Even the waiter gasped as he watched the bill reach up to a hundred thousand and even then, it did not stop.Once they were done, he was forced to ask if they were certain with Anna inquiring.“Do you think we can't afford it?”“... Not at all ma'am. I'll get them right away.”Watching the waiter scurry away, Anna chuckled.Ethan sighed. “Stop bullying the poor guy.”“It's just so much fun,” Anna remarked with a wide smile.Just as the group delved into discussions about various topics, someone approached their table at that moment.It was a young blonde man with an arrogant smile.“Excuse me, Miss, but would you be interested in joining me at my table?” He began, barely paying any attention to Ethan.Taken aback at first, Aquila looked about, unsure if the man was talking to her.Realizing that he was indeed speaking to her, Aquila intoned. “I'm sorry, what?”“My name is Gilbert Junior Jones, son of Gilbert Senior and heir to the Jones estate.

    Glancing at the origin, Austin found Ethan staring daggers at him with eyes that screamed of murder.Before the situation escalated further, someone, or rather a group, arrived while calling out respectfully.“Ethan!”Ethan shifted his gaze away, allowing Austin to breathe once again.He found a man in a suit approaching, accompanied by guards. But that wasn't what caught his attention.Instead, it was the three beautiful women dressed provocatively behind the man who did for the dual fact that they were the ones who had called out to him and that they were, in fact, Louisa, Aquila, and Anna.They were breathtakingly beautiful to the extent that everyone was staring at them, including Rani.Ethan was rendered speechless with his killing intent vanishing as he stared at the women.Only when Louisa coughed did the atmosphere manage to relax somewhat, with the guards at the gate immediately greeting. “Good evening sir.”The manager glanced at them before remarking. “You both are fired.”
