Roseanna couldn't stop grinning as Dana took some steps away from the entrance.

"Dana," Roseanna called,

"Don't forget to kneel," she reminded before walking into the hall with Ethan, causing Dana to boil.

"Eric!!!! What kind of humiliation is this?" She asked, furiously.

"Calm down, Dana; I'm trying to sort things out," he informed.

"Why is it taking time for you to sort things out? Can you do it immediately!" She said.

Seeing that speaking with the security captain was useless, Eric took his phone out of his pocket and dialed his boss number.

"Who are you calling?" Dana was being impatient.

"My boss. He can sort the matter," he responded.

"Hello, Mr. Will Port," Eric said as soon as the man answered the call.

Will Port owns 5% of Secret Company's shares, and Eric has been bribing him for the longest time now.

"I need your help. I'm at the commercial dinner party, and I'm outside the entrance. The guards wouldn't let me in," Eric explained.

"And why is that?" Will Port asked.

"Well, the company gave out a supreme invite to someone we know..."

"The invite is fake, Eric; don't forget to add that," Dana cut in.

"Isn't that Dana?" Will port, asked.

"Yes, she's outside the entrance with me. Unfortunately, we were both kicked out," he informed.

"Wow. That's surprising." He paused, letting Eric assume the worst before saying,

"I can help you,"

Will Port was aware that Secret Company's mysterious heir would be coming today, and over the years now, he has noticed something odd.

In every meeting that the company has, Lilian, the CEO, would bring in impromptu information from the boss of the secret company that would always be of benefit to Dana's company, and finally this year, he had decided to go into business with her and make her one of his strongest partners in business.

Everyone was already clear that Dana was in favor of the mysterious heir, so hearing that the matter involved her and Eric, who happens to be her very good friends, he was sure that the power of the supreme badge invite could be bypassed.

After ending the call with his boss, he grinned, turning to the captain; he gazed at him triumphantly.

Suddenly, the security captain's phone started buzzing in his pocket; he took the phone out and answered the call.

"Hello,"

"Security captain! Why were the senior manager and Dana kicked out?" Will asked.

"It was the power exercised by the supreme badge, sir. You know the conduct and policy of the company," the captain said.

"You're not the one to tell me about the conduct and policy of the company; let the senior manager and Dana into the dinner hall," he ordered.

"Okay, sir," the captain said, hesitating.

After ending the call with Will, he turned to the security guard and said, "Let them in."

Dana grinned. "You're very lucky that you didn't lose your job," she threatened.

As they got into the hall, their eyes immediately fell on Ethan and Roseanna. Dana triumphantly walked to where they stood and flashed a smile of mockery on her face.

Roseanna was stunned to see both of them.

"Surprised? Do you really think you could play God because you have the supreme badge with you? And by the way, I'm really sure it's fake," she said, causing Roseanna to narrow her eyes.

"Yeah, you've gotten in, but I'm certain that the cooperation you so desperately want won't be given to you." She threatened, causing Dana to pause for a second before bursting into a fit of laughter.

"Oh, you're just so funny," Dana remarked in between her laughter.

"You'll see. You won't get the cooperation opportunity."

She paused, finally deciding to be serious. "And you think so because? Don't tell me it's because you have the supreme badge. You think you can walk up to the CEO and flash the card in front of her, saying, "Hello, CEO of Secret company, I have the supreme badge, and I want to exercise the power of the invite by removing Dana from your list of business partners? Just like that?" Dana asked, arching her brows.

"I can't do that, but I'm certain of what I said," Roseanna informed calmly, causing Dana to sneer.

"There's no way that can happen because Eric is the company's senior manager, and his boss owns 5% of Secret company, which is not even comparable to the badge you have, so I'd advise that before you start speaking gibberish, you should think again!"

"Besides, the badge that you both have might be fake, or you guys might have stolen it, but either way, the truth always comes out, and you both will soon be exposed and kicked out of the party," Dana added.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Secret Company's commercial dinner party." The host said from the stage, causing Dana and Roseanna to shift their attention to her.

"I'm glad that everyone here could make it to this commercial dinner party." She added before opening a fancy gold-lined paper,

"This company was founded years ago, and most esteemed guests present here have taken part in the growth of the company." She paused,

"Today, I have two great news for everyone. Firstly, I want us to give a toast to the founder of this great company," she said, taking her glass of wine up, raising it to the air.

"To the founder of this great company."

"To the founder of this great company," everyone chorused, mimicking her action.

"The first news on my list is that this year, Secret Company has decided to cooperate with 10 companies, and their names would be announced soon." She paused. Letting the applause fill the air of the room.

"I'm sure you all are eager to know what the second news is." She said.

"Well. I would waste no time in telling you. The second good news on my list is that the mysterious boss of Secret company will reveal his identity today.”

    "Wow, I can't wait to finally see the owner of this great company," Dana said, sounding so excited. Every single person was. "When he comes, I really hope to meet him," she said, smiling sheepishly. "That's not a problem at all. Once he's here, I can take you to him!" Eric informed, causing the smile on Dana's face to broaden. She was excited and already planned a party in her head to celebrate when she gets home as one of Secret Company's business partners. "Then, I'm sure we can ask him to investigate the badge that Ethan has." She said, making sure that Roseanna could hear her. "When he finally finds out that the badge was stolen or fake, I'm certain that they'll be in great trouble." She added, smiling mischievously. "Decorum." The host said, causing the room to turn quiet. "Here are the names of companies that Secret Company would be cooperating with." She paused, holding out the paper for better reading access.

    "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 i

If the mysterious owner hadn’t remained hidden all this time, those families might have already made their move against the company.So if Ethan really was the mysterious owner, with his weak family background, Secret Corporation would undoubtedly be snatched away by other families.Ethan also heard the whispers around him.He wasn’t afraid of these people—compared to his wealth and power, everyone here was like ants to him.However, Secret Corporati

    Shocked, Rosanna took a step back; her face turned deathly pale."Er... 50 million USD," she swallowed, seeing the smirk on Norlan's face."I'll pay the money! I'm not getting married to you. 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." She informed him, causing Norlan to burst into a fit of laughter again; this time, he laughed even harder."You know, this sounds even better because after you become my wife, the collaboration you have secured would belong t

    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.

    At that moment, Roseanna's cousin, Amelia who has been on her phone even before Roseanna came in accidentally came across the news of what happened at the commercial dinner party, it was spreading like wide fire with views more than 7.2 million. "Aunty! Uncle.... I think you all need to see this," she said, rushing to where they stood, with her grandparents and her cousin, Roseanna. "What's it, child?" Roseanna's grandmother asked, curious to know what made Amelia yell in the middle of an important matter. "Norlan Santos was attacked at the commercial dinner party and unfortunately, he was beaten to a pulp that his balls was even crushed and according to the news, he won't be able to best children again" She paused, "And here, the Santos family is looking for Norlan's attacker, and people in the comments here say that he's Roseanna's kept man." 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. In less than 3 seconds after the call, Lillian sent him the address of the villa she spoke about. "Sir.... You forgot something." The houseke

    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

Is there something you're hiding from me?" He inquired but Dana just gazed at him and placed her hand on her shoulder, saying,"Hey... Let's get going,""Didn't you hear what I said?

    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."

    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.
