"Your words are nothing but empty threats! What protection do you possibly think you can provide against the Santos family?" Belen asked before shifting his attention back to Roseanna, ready to say more mean words to her.

"Look who you're dining with. Someone that could get himself killed with his words," Belen hissed.

"You suddenly forgot that the only reason why you're breathing is because Sergio is protecting you. You forget too easily, or you don't know what to prioritize?" Belen asks.

Just like every other person in her family, Belen was selfish, thinking of things that would be of his best interest.

"You should start going, man!" Ethan said sternly, "You're disturbing my dinner with Roseanna," he added.

The second those words escaped Ethan's lips, it felt to Belen like he was just slapped in the face.

"How dare you? You know what, I don't think I'd waste my time handling you." He paused, standing upright, ignoring the fact that he has been attracting the attention of

    The second the news fell on Nina and Belen's ears, they turned to face each other, not hiding the shock on their faces."He must be tripping, right?" Belen chuckled dryly, taking it as a joke.Sergio is like a tree rooted strongly in his habitat and cannot be taken out, so it was quite difficult for news like that to be taken seriously."My boss was damn serious, Belen; he never jokes around with things like this," Nina informed; her palms were sweaty for reasons she could not define."You better believe it, Nina, if you want to keep your job! The Santos family you solely rely on can no longer help you!" Ethan said sternly, gazing directly into Belen's eyes because the disrespect to Roseanna was from Belen."What are you both still doing, standing in front of us! Get the f**k out of our faces!" He thundered.In fear, Belen and Nina didn't wait for a second more before leaving Ethan's presence.Letting out a sigh, Ethan put his hands together on the table and turned to Roseanne, who se

    "Well, Roseanna. The mysterious boss will surely have nothing to do with Roseanna anymore; he must have definitely approved the modified list for Roseanna's sake, right?" Will said, getting somewhere, although he was still unable to grasp the point."Yeah... And?" Dana said, impatient."This means that Roseanna is no longer a threat; Ethan is!""Do you think I'm dumb? I know Ethan is the threat; Ethan is the only reason why Roseanne got those favors, although I don't know how he did it." She said, feeling agitated, as she went back to sit on her bed."Okay then. We need to target the Milma family. At the moment, targeting Roseanna's family, which is currently wise, as it would be killing two birds with one stone," he explained."The mysterious boss won't be angered by this because he now perceives Roseanna as a whore.""And Ethan would do, he might not even speak in her favor with him again! But we shouldn't put this plan at risk by assuming what Ethan would and would not do."A smile

    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

    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 already had all his insults and humiliating comments on his jaw; he gritted his teeth and said angrily, "That's enough." He paused for emphasis; di

    "Uhh, yes, there, just right there!"Ethan clutched his fingers tightly, forming a fist as he watched the video in front of him. The woman in the video screamed loudly, but each sound pierced Ethan’s heart like a knife.“No… This can’t be my wife…”Ethan’s hands trembled as he tried to turn off the video. He couldn’t believe that his wife would do something like this!But just a second before the video closed, a distinctive tattoo flashed before Ethan’s eyes.It was Dana’s tattoo—one inked on a private part of her body, something only someone extremely intimate with her would know about.So… this video wasn’t AI-generated.Ethan shut the video with shaking hands, his heart sinking into despair.Seeing a video of his wife in his own email—it was an unbearable humiliation!What enraged him even more was the sender’s name: Eric Johnson!This was the man who had been getting close to his wife recently—the heir of the Johnson family!“I hope you can face reality and stop clinging to the po

    Ethan’s words stunned Rosanna for a moment—she didn’t quite understand what he meant. From the intelligence she had gathered, Ethan held a high position in Secret Company. How could Dana possibly let go of such an outstanding man? Sensing that something was off, she quickly said, “Did… something happen? Perhaps I could invite you and Miss Dana to dinner and help clear up any misunderstandings…” “I already said, that won’t be necessary.” Ethan’s voice was icy cold. Without hesitation, he mercilessly interrupted Rosanna , casually raising his hand to hail a taxi. Rosanna bit her lip and immediately instructed her driver, “Follow that taxi!” And so, a luxury car discreetly tailed a taxi all the way to a small tavern. Ethan glanced calmly at the luxury car behind him but didn’t bother to chase Rosanna away. Instead, he stepped into the tavern and ordered a drink, hoping to calm himself down. “Sir, is this seat taken?” A charming smile appeared on Rosanna ’s face as she looked at

And who do you think you are, meddling where you're not wanted?” The thug finally shifted his gaze to Ethan, grabbing his collar arrogantly.Ethan looked at the hoodlum indifferently, and surprisingly, his gaze made the hoodlum feel a bit intimidated.“You...” The thug was about to say something tough to bolster his courage when Ethan's fist came flying in.His fist punched the thug's face heavily, causing him to start bleeding from his nose.The crowd gasped in unison as their face turned pale with shock and fear.

    "What happened, Gina? I have a very important conference call coming up," Dana said, frowning."It's your ex-husband! He just got divorced from you, and now he's already at a bar drinking with another woman! And guess what? He even got into a conflict with the Los Lobos gang!" Gina said excitedly, her face full of gossip."What did you say?!" Dana was furious. That bastard Ethan! He had the audacity to go drinking with another woman right after divorcing her?And he had the nerve to accuse her of cheating? He must have been secretly fooling around with other women long before this!And Los Lobos—he actually dared to pick a fight with those ruthless thugs?"So, what happened? Did they beat him to a pulp?" Dana asked, a hint of happy in her tone. She hoped her useless ex-husband could be beaten badly by gangsters."Not at all! Your useless ex-husband can actually fight pretty well. Then, he made a call to the Los Lobos boss, and after that, they all kneeled down and apologized to him!"

    Ethan exited the building and got to his car, driving to his villa. On getting there, he headed straight to the room only to find. Roseanna in the same position he left her, still wrapped in a blanket on the bed, completely naked. "Mhmmmm...." She made a sound, as she slowly opened her eyes the second the felt the presence of someone in the room. "I got you some clothes to change into," He informed as he handed her the clothes. The aura in the room suddenly changed, becoming more intensed. Roseanna coughed, gesturing that Ethan should look away, "Oh... I'm sorry..." Ethan awkwardly said and looked away. Roseanna slowly climbed down from the bed and quickly got dressed into the gown that Ethan handed to her. "I'm done," She said and sat on the bed. Ethan felt uncomfortable because the burning silence and tension in the room. "Rose... Come with me for dinner," he said in a soft and memorizing voice. Roseanna swallowed hard before nodding her head. He held out his hand a

    As Dana spoke and got ignored by Ethan each time, she turned furious because he made her seem like she was a mad woman in the mall who was talking to herself. In a rage, she snatched every item he intended to pay for. "What are you doing?" Ethan asked, frowning at Dana's action. "Stop acting like you could afford these things you picked. You can't even afford just one!" Dana sneered, seizing every opportunity she had to mock him. "We both know that apart from coincidentally knowing the mysterious owner of Secret Corporation, you have no real abilities." She paused, taking a step closer to him. "This is not the commercial dinner party that you were given a supreme card. You might have a so-called VIP card at the dinner party, but you don't have anything here," she added, causing Ethan to let out a long sigh, thinking Dana was crazy. "Where's the salesman here?" She asked, and before she could blink, the girl that had brought down the black dress for Ethan earlier rushed to b

    "Where the hell am I?" "Where is this place???" Roseanna woke up, shouting the second she opened her eyes and realized that she was in an unfamiliar place, completely naked. Accompanied with her screams were tears rolling down her eyes like balls. "Sergio must have had his way with me. The drug he used on me was so strong that I couldn't stay conscious to fight him," she said, crying. The thought of it irked her, and she couldn't help but roll on her bed with her hands on her ears, feeling irritated. As she screamed, the door of the room suddenly opened, and Roseanna subconsciously reached for the bedside lamp, ready to defend herself. She quickly sat up on the bed when the figure of the person that opened the door came to light. Puzzled, she gazed at him, unable to take her eyes off him. "Ethan?" She inquired, trying to confirm that she was seeing well. "Yes. Calm down, okay? Everything has been resolved, so you have no reason to worry. The Santos family would no longe

    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
