“It must have been a shock,” Ethan remarked, noticing the melancholic air about Trina.Trina shook her head, quickly putting aside the melancholy to once again glow like a radiant flower with a beautiful smile on her lips. “That's by the way. What's done is done. All that can be done now is to look toward the future.”“I guess you are right,” Ethan admitted, deciding not to pursue the matter.As it was, they were in public so talking too much could result in an unsavoury scandal.Meanwhile, Varun had long since been forgotten with no one paying him any heed any longer.Considering what they'd discovered, it was even to his benefit because it would have been a mockery for him to date go against someone capable of competing with the Goldbergs in terms of financial might.So, he faded away into the background, never to be paid any attention to.As more dignitaries approached Ethan intending to befriend him, the man in charge of the evaluation process returned.“So?” Trina raised a brow.

With that, Argyle got to his feet before whispering something in Louisa's ear after which he took his leave.Louisa's expression remained bitter as she watched her father leave.Just then, someone touched her on her shoulder, causing her to back away instinctively.It turned out to be Lucian. Louisa managed a wry smile as she greeted him. “Hello, Your Highness.” “You should be aware of why I traveled from Solaria.”“I am.”“That's good, so what do you say?” “We can talk more about this later.”Before Lucian could say more, Louisa stepped away to address everyone. “Please follow me, everyone.”With that, she turned and left with all six people in the room moving to join her with Ethan noticeably faster than the rest as he moved up to stand beside Louisa.Lucian's gaze narrowed. “It seems Louisa is being distracted by a few frogs.”“Do you want me to handle it, young master?... No need, if I can't even deal with such things, then wouldn't I be an incompetent fool?” ***“Are you alri

Ethan didn't even bother with a response as he met Lucian's gaze squarely.Stifling the scowl on his face, Lucian suggested. "Fine then, how about a game?"Ethan raised a brow. "Oh?""Yes. A treasure detection challenge. If you can prove that you are skilled, then I will allow you to remain, if not, you will leave this place immediately and never come back!"Ethan remained silent for a few seconds with Louisa quickly retorting."What the hell is wrong with you, Lucian?... There's no need for this.""Calm yourself, Louisa dearest. I just wish to show you that even though he has money, this pauper would never be able to tell real gold from fake." Lucian said confidently.Just as Louisa considered taking him away forcefully, Ethan replied. "I accept your challenge." "Oh and here I thought you didn't have the balls to accept," Lucian muttered excitedly. "What are the rules?""It's simple. Five objects will be randomly picked from within this room and we are to pick the one with the grea

"I don't intend to do so." Ethan calmly replied.Though he knew the man was mocking him, he already expected it.Up until now, he'd been a bit limited in his thinking.At first, he only came to save Louisa and help her secure her freedom but the problem was that just using brute force wouldn't solve the issue.He needed to prove that Louisa hadn't made the wrong choice in picking him, so right here, right now, he will prove himself!John snorted derisively at Ethan's foolishness as he turned and walked away. "Fool."He walked over to where there were three glass stands with objects covered in thick clothes."These are some of the rarest pieces found in our Goldberg's artifact collection, each one with a different value. To ensure a sense of fairness, we have covered them up to ensure that the value won't be detected by eyesight. Your task is to pick the most valuable out of the three. Am I clear?""Yes.""Indeed." Both Ethan and Lucian replied."Good, now, come forward one at a time

Despite Lucian mocking him, Ethan remained calm as he addressed John."Check the meteorite, you might be surprised by what you see.""What nonsense?... Do you think you can come in here and do whatever you want?... Are you telling me that you are more knowledgeable than our workers?""No, I'm only telling you to check the item." "You…" John trailed off as he began to nod. "Fine then, but if it turns out that I'm right, you'd go down on your knees and kowtow to me 10 times for wasting my time!""Agreed." "Hah, this fool doesn't know when to quit." Lucian mocked in the background.Meanwhile, Trina couldn't help but pause as she wondered. "What exactly are you up to, Ethan Jones?" John was already angry at Ethan for now knowing his place.So seeing as Ethan didn't know when to take a step back, he was prepared to completely humiliate him.That would teach the young fool a lesson.So he walked toward the meteorite and took hold of it before quickly perusing it.However, he soon reduce

Leaving those words behind, Ethan glanced at Lucian to find the latter still in a daze.“I expect to have you gone as soon as possible.”“And if I don't go?” Lucian questioned in a cold tone. Ethan shrugged. “It doesn't matter, I'm not the one that people would see as insincere.”“You will regret this.”“Try again.”Satisfied with his win, Ethan left the hall.A few of those that had insulted him before tried to meet him now but he simply blew all of them off, unwilling to make friends with such fake people.He got to a place where Louisa was already waiting.Before he could say anything, she leaped into his arms and planted a kiss on his lips."You were amazing back there," Louisa said breathlessly.Ethan chuckled as he replied. "Quite a welcome for someone that didn't expect me to win."Turning away in embarrassment, Louisa muttered. "I'm sorry about that."Ethan chuckled. “It's fine.”“How did you know it was a meteorite?... Even my dad would never have figured it out.”“It's simp

It's 7 pm.The main hall of the Golden Palace was teeming with several people related to the birthday celebrant.Today was Lucinda's 90th birthday and though she was quite advanced in age, she had done well to manage her appearance, causing her to look quite healthy.A few speculated on ways she had managed to keep herself so healthy with some even bordering on nonsense like she had sold her soul to the devil but regardless, few took them seriously.She sat as the center of attraction today, adorned in an eye-catching attire that made several envious with some even wondering why such an old woman would bother with such opulence.The main hall was also decorated specially for the occasion and after most had arrived, the first part of the party which was the gifting section quickly began."Grandma, on your birthday today, I brought you this flower vase. It's said to be a rare treasure once owned by a queen of the Mali Kingdom and given as a gift to the man who saved her life during an a

Just then, the curator who stood beside Lucinda spoke up. "Who are you?""I am Ghost and I am here to attend this birthday party, I hope I am not too late."Murmurs flew around before Jason suddenly spoke up."I don't care who you are but the Goldberg family doesn't take it lightly with those that try to cause problems for us.""I am aware." Ethan calmly replied."Then…""But I don't believe there has ever been a time your family prevented outsiders from attending and even participating in the gifting ceremony, am I correct?""Well, that…""No." Lucinda suddenly spoke up, her frail voice traveling about the hall and silencing the voices.Then, she added, "The Goldberg family never turns away a friend.""I'm glad to hear that," Ethan remarked, even giving a slight curtsy as he spoke.Albeit unwillingly, Jason finally relented though he still glared at the unwanted guest.Ethan merely flashed a smile in her direction before inquiring. "So is the gifting ceremony over?" "No, please wait
