He had a wine glass in his hand and a satisfied smile on his lips and why wouldn't he be satisfied considering what was currently happening?

Behind, a young man in a grey suit was standing while holding a notepad.

The young man was named Gabriel and was also Antoine Dumont's third son.

    "You have a point. Alright, you can leave, I'll call after I've made a quick phone call."

Mr. Luke, prepare to receive the deposit and draft an invoice. I would like the transaction to be completed right now if possible." Antoine calmly addressed Luke and Gabriel while Trina moved to sit beside Ethan.The expressions of the trio shifted at the news.Luke wasn't exactly bothered since as long as there was no reason to leave the company, and even if there was, he was a highly sought-after consultant who would be able to get into any company with his skills.Meanwhile, Trina seemed slightly excited as she understood that Ethan was successful in his plans.But then she wondered what he would do next.In any case, as long as Dumont Inc was taken out of the picture, that meant her Park Pharmaceuticals would hold a monopoly over the pharmaceutical industry in the Lumina Empire.Luke gave Ethan an account number, to which the latter qui

    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.

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!...

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?...

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.

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.”
