Tony and Maya were completely taken aback by what they saw.The sight before them was beyond their wildest imagination. The man they had once cast aside as their son-in-law was now comfortably settled in a luxurious five-star hotel. The opulence and grandeur of the place seemed almost surreal to them.The price tag for a single night's stay in this lavish establishment was an exorbitant sum, well over a thousand dollars. Tony couldn't help but voice his disbelief, turning to Maya with a look of incredulity."Maya, are you absolutely certain that he's only had a few hundred dollars to his name all this time?" Tony questioned, his tone a mixture of confusion and suspicion. "Could it be possible that he has been hiding a substantial amount of money from us all along, squirreling it away behind your back over the past three years?"Maya shook her head in bewilderment and replied, "I really don't know... it's possible that he did." Tony, deep in thought, pursed his lips and mused aloud, "
After Clara finished her cigarette, she gracefully rose from her seat and bid farewell to the Reynolds. "Old Ms. Mimi, Mr. Reynolds, I have some matters to attend to at the office, so I must take my leave," Clara announced. Old Ms. Mimi and the others accompanied Clara to the door. "Miss Walport, we are placing our trust in you for the investment," Old Ms. Mimi expressed warmly as she clasped Clara's hand. Clara responded with a smile, "You can count on me. Rest assured." Observing Clara's departure, James decided it was time to bid his own farewell. "Old Ms. Mimi, Mr. Reynolds, we should make our way as well," he announced. As the guests realized a thief was in their midst and the mysterious benefactor who gifted the bracelet remained absent, they gradually dispersed, heading their separate ways. Before long, the Reynolds found themselves alone in the banquet hall. Old Ms. Mimi turned to Ms. Julia with a questioning gaze. "What did Maya say? How is it that we only uncovered hi

The looming threat of a potential third altercation filled him with dread, knowing that it could result in permanent disfigurement.Although John had once been Ethan's father-in-law, their current estrangement severed their familial ties. This newfound distance left John feeling vulnerable and apprehensive, fearing that Ethan's volatile nature could turn his aggression towards him as well.John, unlike Klein, lacked connections to the criminal underworld. Therefore, he opted to reach out to his daughter, Maya, for assistance. He swiftly dialed her number and waited as the phone rang."Maya, are you still at the West Lake Hotel?" John inquired once the call connected."Yes, Dad, I'm still here," Maya responded.With a sense of urgency in his tone, John relaye
Maya stood frozen in shock as a sense of familiar washed over her. It felt like she had heard that exact phrase somewhere before!After a moment of reflection, she remembered that she had uttered those same words to Ethan just a couple of days ago at the Sunsets Tower Hotel.Two days ago, the scene that unfolded when Ethan unexpectedly entered the hotel room occupied by Maya and Tony West was nothing short of tense. Ethan’s initial instinct was to charge in and confront Tony West, but Maya swiftly interjected, questioning Ethan’s worthiness to even set foot in the lavish surroundings of the five-star establishment.Despite Maya's words, Ethan found himself not merely present in the luxurious confines of the hotel room, but also a legitimate guest entitled to enjoy its comforts.Adding insult to injury for Maya, not only was Ethan present in a presidential suite that Maya had never experienced before, but the grandeur of the suite surpassed anything she had encountered.Complicating ma

Chief Lee observed Maya and Tony, sensing the unique bond between them.He addressed Maya, saying, "Ms. Reynolds, we cannot make an arrest of Mr. Ethan unless there is concrete evidence implicating him.""If you are insistent on his arrest, kindly provide evidence such as video footage or photographs showing him stealing the watch, or any proof of him selling the watch in exchange for money.""Also, refrain from labeling your ex-husband as a pauper or a good-for-nothing. Remember, you both shared a marriage, and such words can inflict deep wounds," "I speak the truth. If Ethan had shown a bit more competence, maybe we wouldn't have ended up divorced," Maya retorted sharply."It was you who instigated the divorce from Ethan... Mr. Sinclair, am I correct?" With a smug expression, Maya responded, "Yes, I was the one who filed for divorce! I wonder if he's feeling regretful yet?"The police officers, aware of Ethan's true identity, maintained their composure and simply smiled and offere
Ethan was eager to embrace his new position as a commanding CEO after spending three years as a live-in son-in-law.Despite his anticipation for the role, Ethan's excitement did not stem from his upcoming identity as the CEO. Having risen from humble beginnings, Ethan had grown weary of the false sense of superiority that often accompanied being perceived as better than others.Ethan's excitement stemmed from Clara, the enchanting Deputy President of the Walt Disney organization.

Clara mingle in the upper class society of Los Angeles and hence, knew all the tycoons. She had a long list of suitors too. However, no one had ever heard of her having a boyfriend. 'Maybe Walport Clara into women!' Ethan thought. "Hey, what are you thinking about!?! Hurry up and answer me. Why are you here at our office!?!" Sarah said in a firm voice. Ethan snapped back to his senses and said, "I'm Ethan Sinclair, the New president of Walt Disney organization." Ashley Sarah's jaw dropped, and her mouth was so wide open that it could fit an egg. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr Sinclair! I'm too stupid. Since you had the key to the door, you must be the president! But, please forgive me, Miss Walport said that there's a suspicious person in the office, so I..." Ethan was surprised after hearing her explanation. 'suspicious person?"
