"Decorum." The host said, trying to get their attention.
"Nothing had changed in the list, and it was not modified. What I read to you all was exactly what was given to me," she said sternly. "But Dana's name was originally determined by the company to be on that list, right?" Will asked. "Mr. Will Port. This list is the company's final decision," she said sternly. Expecting him to walk back to his seat, but unfortunately, the man was stubborn. "I heard that someone tried stopping Dana and the senior manager of this company from entering this dinner hall." He paused, turning to the people sitting in the crowd. "The man was with a supreme badge," he added. Eric had initially pointed Ethan to Will while they both walked up to the stage, so right now, Will tried searching for the person that Eric had shown him. "I'm certain that after he saw Dana was back at the dinner party, he must have turned angry and used his supreme badge to deceive you, right? Because the lady by his side is the owner of Milma company, and all of a sudden, her company's name appeared; it is not a coincidence," Will said, pointing out his biggest suspect. The crowd gasped, starting to see that Will might be right. "Besides, you should check the list of guests of people that ought to be in this party. Their names are not part of the list, and heaven only knows how he got his hands on that badge." He added. Before Will finished his sentence, several security personnel surrounded them. Ethan frowned, seeing how gullible the host and the crowd were. One of the security men tried to get Roseanna to get to her feet, but Ethan frowned, throwing a death glare at him before saying with his thick voice, "Don't lay your hands on her," Ethan got to his feet and held his hand out. Roseanna placed her hand on his and stood up. "We'll have to handcuff you, sir." One of the men said, causing Ethan to furrow his brows. Before he could protest or say anything, a lady walked into the call, ordering the security men to stop. Everyone turned in the direction where they heard the voice, and they were all stunned to see Lilian. She was in a royal blue dress, one that complemented her skin and beauty. "Nothing is wrong with the list that was read. Neither did she modify it." She said The room turned instantly quiet. Lilian has built a reputation that cannot be questioned by anyone. One could barely find a smile on her face, as she always kept a straight face. Will swallowed hard, wondering why Lilian had asked the security personnel to stop. She never had a stomach for deceit or lies. Will clutched his fingers tightly, forming a fist as he turned to Eric, who stood tensed. "How dare Lilian confirm that the list the host had read was correct?" Although Lilian has no shares in the company, she has been the only one who could contact the mysterious boss, and Will couldn't dare to provoke her. Dana, who was on her seat, smiled with the way things were going until Lilian walked in and frowned. She hadn't seen Lilian before, not in magazines or on news channels, and she had only heard from Eric that the CEO of the secret company goes by the name Lilian. She stood abruptly and questioned, "Who the hell are you to confirm that the list was correct? And on what basis do you speak for Ethan?" Eric was immediately stunned; it took him less than 30 seconds to walk towards where she stood and throw a dirty slap across her face. He immediately bowed at Lilian and apologized, "I'm so sorry for her outburst, ma. I'm sure she was ignorant of who you are!" He apologized. Dana immediately realized that she had offended a big shot. "I'm so sorry, ma'am. Please forgive my outburst," she said, bowing her head to apologize as well. Lilian shot them a death glare and turned to Will, who was a little terrified. From the second that Lilian stepped into the hall, the aura changed. "Will, you've always been so meddlesome. What made you think that the list was tampered with? Did you forget that you're not in any position to choose the company name that can be added or removed from the list?" She asked, rhetorically. "Yes, the list indeed did not include Dana's company name, and it was my decision to make Milma company a cooperating company." She informed sternly. Will's palms immediately began to sweat; he swallowed hard and bowed his head slightly. "I'm sorry, Lilian. I shouldn't have confronted the host like that," he said. "I need the hall to be in complete order!" She said, causing Dana, Eric, and Will to go back to their seat. Ethan and Roseanna did the same as well while the security personnel left the hall. "The host had informed you all that the owner of the secret company would be making an appearance today, right? It's about time he did that," Lilian said, standing on the stage, gazing at every single person. They all seemed anxious and ready to see him. Dana forced herself to calm down; she turned to Eric, who looked humiliated. "Even if I lost cooperation with the secret company, I'm sure that once the owner of this company revealed himself and I was able to have a moment with him, I could charm him with my beauty; no one has ever been able to resist me." She thought. She turned to Ethan, who gazed at her sarcastically. She narrowed her eyes, thinking that Ethan was only with Roseanna to get back at her. The plot to make him suffer when she's acquitted to the owner of the secret company made her chuckle dryly. "Please, let's welcome the owner of the secret company!" Ethan smiled and stood up, but his actions left everyone confused. Rosanna became anxious. She quickly grabbed Ethan’s sleeve and whispered to him, “Secret Company’s founder is a mysterious figure. Even though you’re Supreme Guest No. 0001, you shouldn’t steal his spotlight at a time like this!” Dana and Eric, on the other hand, burst into laughter. They never expected Ethan to dig his own grave. “This idiot is absolutely brain-dead. Does he really think being a Supreme Guest gives him the right to ignore the mysterious boss?” “Even Port, who owns just 5% of the company’s shares, could easily override his orders. And yet, he dares to challenge the mysterious boss? He’s asking for death—I just hope he doesn’t drag us down with him!” Ethan ignored their words. With a calm expression, he walked up to the stage. Everyone was watching, waiting to see Ethan humiliate himself. They were sure Lilian would throw him off the stage in an instant. However— To everyone’s shock, not only did Lilian refrain from getting angry, but she also respectfully handed the microphone to Ethan. “Sir, please speak.” “What?!” Dana’s face turned deathly pale. Eric and Port nearly lost their footing, about to collapse from sheer disbelief.

It's the money you want, right...?"Of course! You'll pay me, and that would be in our bedroom, right?" Norlan said, irritating Rosanna."No! I'll pay you the 50 million USD. That's what my parents owe you, right?" She asked.Norlan laughed as if he had heard a joke, "How do you intend to pay me a whopping 50 million USD? Even with your job as the CEO of Milma company, there's no way you must have made that sum of money except if you've been stealing from them.""I have secured a collaboration with a secret company, which would bring in profits far exceeding 50 million USD."

Everyone was stunned; the hair on their skin stood as they murmured amongst themselves in nothing but complete fear. They never expected Ethan to go to such extreme length. "What has he done?" "Is he aware of the repercussions of his actions?" "He's in big trouble now. The Santos family will definitely take severe revenge, and he will regret what he has done." Their whispers didn't go unheard by Ethan. Roseanna swallowed hard; her hand was fidgeting and sweaty. Although Roseanna admired and respected Ethan for a million and one things, she had little definite information about him. Her knowledge of Ethan was limited to his influential position in Secret Company, which was not enough to withstand the revenge of the Santos family. Ethan narrowed his eyes, not taking the Santos family seriously. He knew exactly who the Santos family was, but he didn't care. Roseanna watched as Norlan wailed on his knees, in fear, she moved closer to Ethan and took his hand, "Let's go.

She added. Her parents face immediately turned pale out of disappointment. "Rose, do you know this man?" Roseanna's mother asked stil

Meanwhile, Ethan knew he had to leave the penthouse that he stayed in. Until now he has been living there, and it was finally time for him to settle down properly. "Here are the keys!" He said, handling it to the housekeeper, before heading out through the door. Ethan took his phone out of his front pocket and casually dialed Lilian's number. "Hello," she answered the call before it could ring for a second time. "Hello, Lilian, do you know of any suitable place for me to stay?" He asked "Yes, sir. The villa at the heart of the city had always been reserved for you, and the servants there are waiting for your arrival. I have ensured that the place is well maintained and, most especially, remodeled to meet your taste," she informed. "I'll send you the address now," she added, causing Ethan to respond, saying, "Okay." Before ending the call.

Ethan's expression darkened at his words. "Where did he take her to?" He asked, ignoring everything else that the man had said. "Didn't you hear me? Where did Sergio take her to????" He demanded to know her whereabouts. The men laughed, "You shouldn't be worried. I'm sure she's spending quality time with Master Sergio right now. For her family to be safe and for him not to slit her throat, she must have probably stripped for Sergio and presented herself naked on his bed." "Yeah, and Master Sergio is generous with his toys," another man sneered. "Once he's done with her, he'll hand her over to us. And if we deliver you to him, we might even get to enjoy her before the others do." The men erupted into menacing laughter. Ethan's face instantly turned pale as he bit his lips so hard that he almost bled; he was unable to control the anger and hated the laughter that escaped their lips. In a rage, he threw a punch across the face of the man that had made the last comment; his enti

Ethan got to the second floor and kicked open each door, hoping each time that the next door he kicked open would be Sergio's room door. He checked each room carefully until he finally found Sergio and Roseanna in the last room on the floor. Roseanna was tied to the bed, her mouth gagged. Sergio grinned smugly while setting up a camera—he intended to record everything. "Hmmm. hmn." Roseanna struggled, but it sounded like music to Sergio. He was so carried away that he didn't notice when Ethan opened the door. The room was wide and big which muffled the sound. Sergio smirked and moved closer to Roseanna, saying, "You better be more submissive because after I'm done with you, I'll let my men have their way with you. That'll be the beginning of your punishment." "Do you need to see a video of your parents crying and wailing on the floor? I'm going to make sure I take every single thing that belongs to them. Believe me, Roseanna, since you refused to hand over the bastard that

As Ethan approached the exit of the Santos family villa, a young man suddenly appeared from behind. Apparently, he had been hiding at the stairwell. Ethan arched his brows; he was sure that he wasted the life of every bodyguard he caught sight of, and if there should be any left, he should be bleeding to death on the floor by now. "Don't come any closer if you don't want to keep your life," Ethan threatened as the man walked towards where he stood. The young man paused, looking down at himself; he had wounds and bruises in almost every part of his body. Ethan reacted quickly, shielding Roseanna behind him while warily watching the young man. But as he stood, he was calm and didn't seem hostile. He opened his mouth, stuttering as if struggling to speak, "D...." Ethan watched closely, looking around him to see if he was with any weapon. Tightening his hold on Roseanna, he was also ready to swiftly pull out a gun anytime the man posed as a threat. "Did you kill all the bodyg

Ethan scoffed; he didn't think Dana deserved to have this kind of conversation with her. In the contract he needed to sign to finalize his divorce with Dana, he would have to pay her 15 million dollars every 6 months, and the favors of the court on her side were 92 percent. It was either he sign it blindly or they go to court for it. Ethan left for his mansion; Lilian had a car delivered to his house for the auction. He was planning something big on that day, but up until that second, he wasn't sure of exactly how he needed everything to play out. On getting to his mansion, he caught sight of a Lincoln limousine parked just outside his mansion. "This is it!" He smiled and decided to take the baby on a quick ride for just 30 minutes. Ethan got into Lincoln and quickly checked his calendar. It was just a day to the auction, so he decided to put the court problem with Dana behind him and focus on the auction for now. He decided to quickly stop at the restaurant where he saw Belen

Ethan hailed a taxi just outside the building. The bodyguards at the entrance had their heads bowed in fear. As Ethan got into the taxi, he immediately informed the man of his direction, and in the next second, the man started the car and drove off. Ethan didn't want to go straight home; he knew he had some unfinished business before the day of the auction. The driver stopped him in front of a pub, not just any pub; it accommodated mafias and illegal business owners in it. Ethan got down from the taxi, dipping his hand into his almost empty pocket only to bring out a dollar note. It wouldn't be enough to pay the driver, and the local account he just opened won't start running until 24 hours. He stretched his hand forward, handing the driver the money. "What is this?" The man asked, furrowing his brows. "This is all I have," Ethan said, causing the driver to feel more enraged. "What year do you think this is? My money is 4 dollars; pay me so I can go." "4 dollars?" Ethan aske

The men didn't think twice before walking towards Ethan, about to hold him when Ethan furiously stopped them, saying, "Don't lay your hands on me." He was angry and just couldn't stand the fat man in a suit. "You don't have any right to stop any man from going into the building, whether poor or rich; your job is to make sure everyone is safe, so if you'll stop being a nuisance, get out of my way, and let me do my business," Ethan said sternly, causing the bodyguard to scoff. "A poor man that knows the laws, do you think these things apply here?" "I think I've been too easy on you; if you know what's best for you, you'll leave this place this instant!" He warned. "Because trust me, when the mysterious man that the manager is expecting arrives, you'll surely pay for littering this premises with your filthy body!" He was insulted.

Ethan sighed in relief after seeing his savings; he knew that there was no way anyone could beat him at the auction with the kind of money that he was ready to spend on the item. "But sir, that's not all you should know when going for the auction," the man on the other side of the phone said. "What else should I know? I'm all ears!" Ethan said, waiting for the man to speak. "When you bid the highest, send the money from a local account, and you can't use money with the secret account, okay?" Ethan nodded, still considering how he could move that amount of money in just a short time. "I'll have to go to a bank to make a transfer to a local account then!" Ethan finally said, "Yes," the man responded before ending the call. Ethan swallowed hard and shook his head helplessly; before scrolling through his phone, he finally found the number that he was looking for. "Bank manager!" It was the name the number was saved with. "Hello Mr. Ethan, to what do I owe this call?" The manager
