Sophie was keen to discover what the enigmatic Mr. Sinclair looked like.However, Ethan had strictly instructed Sarah to keep his identity confidential. She wouldn't betray his trust for any amount of money.Sarah quickly pushed the money back to Sophie and replied, "Miss Reynolds, I don't have a photo of Mr. Sinclair. But I can assure you, he's very handsome and about your age."Hearing the words "very handsome," Sophie's heart fluttered with joy.Even though her request to discuss the contract with Ethan was once again denied, the beautiful yet naive Sophie left with a spring in her step.******Phuket, ThailandSalvatore landed in Phuket and met up with his boss, Ferragamo Ferraro.Ferragamo had been deeply involved in various underground businesses in Phuket, frequently traveling across East Asia over the past few years. His operations included recruiting numerous fighters for underground matches, running illegal gambling rings, and smuggling contraband.In a dimly lit gymnasium,
Ferragamo, taken aback, asked, "Mr. Romano, could you describe Mr. Ethan to me? I wouldn't want to risk not recognizing him and causing any offense."With a resigned sigh, Mr. Romano replied, "Los Angeles is pristine now, but it will be a mess once you arrive!"He then directed his assistant to send Ferragamo a photograph. The person in the photo was Ethan himself!It turned out that Mr. Romano was actually the Sinclair family's butler, Frank.Despite his role as a butler, Frank had diligently learned about investing from Ethan's father over the years, ultimately amassing a personal fortune worth billions. His keen insights and dedication to learning had paid off handsomely.In addition to his financial acumen, Frank had also taken on the role of mentor, guiding and grooming many people over the years. Ferragamo was one of the many who had benefited from Frank's mentorship and wisdom.When Ferragamo saw the photograph of Ethan, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Mr. Sinclair is incredibl
Salvatore barked the command, "Go!"In an instant, ten elite fighters from East Asia surged towards Ethan, their movements swift and deadly.**Bang! Bang! Bang!****Smack! Smack! Smack!**The air was filled with the brutal sounds of combat.Salvatore watched in disbelief as Ethan single-handedly took down all ten fighters with a lethal grace that left no room for doubt.Shaking off his astonishment, Salvatore grabbed his phone and dialed Ferragamo. "Mr. Ferraro, you need to send ten more fighters immediately. The ones you sent won't last more than ten minutes against Ethan Sinclair.""What?!"Ferragamo had just finished a chess game with Butler Frank when he received Salvatore's urgent call. His eyes widened with excitement at the news."An expert who can defeat ten men single-handedly? I must recruit such talent!""Tell me your location. I'm on my way."Without wasting a moment, Ferragamo hurried drive over. By the time Ferragamo arrived at the parking lot, the ten elite fighters h
Maya and her then-husband, Ethan, had originally proposed the project. However, Klein and his family took control due to Klein's superior standing within the Reynolds family.With the president of Walt Disney Corporation repeatedly refusing to meet Klein and his children, Maya decided to take matters into her own hands.Sophie sneered, "Mr. Sinclair won't see any of us. What makes you think he'll see you? You're overestimating yourself."From the sidelines, Ms. Julia defended her daughter, "Let Maya try. She was the one who conceived the project in the first place."Old Ms. Mimi, the matriarch of the Reynolds family, pondered the situation and realized there was no other viable option. She could either go herself or send Maya in her stead."Alright, Maya," Old Ms. Reynolds finally said, her voice carrying the weight of authority. "Go to the Walt Disney Corporation. If this attempt fails, I'll visit Mr. Sinclair personally. We must secure this cooperation with Walt Disney at all costs!
Maya, summoning all her strength, forcefully pushed Ethan away before resolutely opening the door to leave.To her astonishment, Clara was standing right outside as she opened the door."Miss... Miss Walport," Maya stammered, taken aback by Clara's unexpected presence.In their previous encounter, Clara had delivered a sharp slap across Maya's face, a moment that had left a lasting impression.Despite her deep-seated jealousy and resentment towards Clara, Maya found herself at the office of the company where Clara was employed.Furthermore, they would be collaborating frequently in the future. As a member of a distinguished family, Maya recognized the importance of setting aside personal grievances and focusing on the broader objectives."Miss Reynolds," Clara acknowledged Maya with a nod and a warm smile.After exchanging a few brief pleasantries, Maya quickly made her exit, her steps brisk and purposeful.Meanwhile, Ethan stood gripping the contract tightly in his hand, his knuckle
Maya couldn't contain her excitement, stomping her feet in delight. "Oh my goodness, you're amazing! I'm so envious of you. You've got your husband completely under your control, and you manage to date other men without him ever finding out. Why did I get caught when I tried? It even led to my divorce! It's so frustrating!"Renee chuckled and replied, "The difference between us is that your ex-husband is a taxi driver, while mine is a businessman. He's frequently away on business trips, so he's rarely in town. He doesn't have the time to catch me cheating.""By the way, why did you call me out of the blue?" Maya produced a copy of the contract and handed it to Renee.Renee was taken aback. "Wow, darling, you actually secured the deal with the Walt Disney organization on behalf of your family, and they even named the project after you! That's incredible. How did you manage it? Did you sleep with the president of Walt Disney?"Feeling somewhat speechless, Maya responded, "Seriously, do
While Jan stood in shock, a waiter emerged from Juice Cafeteria, carrying a signboard which he placed at the entrance.The crowd of onlookers quickly gathered to see what it was about."It's this week's program lineup for Juice Cafeteria!""Taylor Swift is performing tonight! Tomorrow's show features a singing performance, and the day after tomorrow, there will be a live band performance..."Jammi, visibly excited, exclaimed, "Mr. Brandon, the owner of Juice Cafeteria, is incredibly generous. He's invited the most popular singer around!"Jan, who preferred old-school R&B over mainstream pop, glanced at Jammi with a cynical expression. He remarked disdainfully, "They're just some amateur singer. There's no need to bother. I can guarantee that Juice Cafeteria will fold within a week!"******Two hours later, Tony, having just risen from bed, held a beautiful Tiffany ring box with elation. Inside was an extravagant diamond ring, a significant investment he had made.Determined to propose
The waitress ended the call and turned to Tony with a polite smile. "Sir, there seems to be a misunderstanding. Our boss has not accepted your deposit. I must kindly ask you to leave."Despite Ethan's instructions to have Tony leave immediately without any explanation, she was merely a service staff member and did not dare to be discourteous.Tony's face flushed with embarrassment. "What? That scoundrel Jan Niklas isn't trying to renege on his promise, is he?"The waitress maintained her composure and replied, "Jan Niklas is not the name of our boss."It was only then that Tony realized his mistake—Juice Cafeteria was not owned by Jan Niklas.Just then, Tony's phone rang. It was Jan. "Mr. West, I apologize for the delay. I've been quite occupied. What did you need to discuss? Rest assured, I've already arranged the venue for your proposal. Will you be arriving in the afternoon or the evening?"Tony hesitated before speaking. "Mr. Niklas, I regret to inform you that I won't be able to
