The Callous CEO Chapter 104 You will make a good pair
Ethan parked his car in front of his company and stepped out, ready to immerse himself in his work after hid short break and put the previous encounters with Daphne and those gangs behind him."I am here," Ethan said into his phone, his voice calm and collected. "Don't worry, I will call you if anything comes up. Also, please tell Steve that I would like to have a discussion with him when I return."Kate, on the other end of the line, already had an inkling of what the discussion would entail and began to speak, but Ethan interrupted her before she could finish."That can wait until I'm back at the mansion," he stated firmly. "In the meantime, please ask Dan to request leave for Brian from school. Also, inform his foster mother that he will be on a school trip, so she doesn't worry unnecessarily."Kate's admiration for Ethan's thoughtfulness shone through her voice as she replied, "You truly care about him, even if you don't show it openly. You and Dan would make a good pair. He ex
The Callous CEO Chapter 105 The game has just begun
Meanwhile, inside the company building, Ethan immersed himself in his work as soon as he entered his office, determined to put the encounter with Daphne behind him. He sat behind his grand mahogany desk, surrounded by the trappings of his success. The room exuded an aura of power and control, mirroring the empire he had inherited.Yet, as the day drew to a close and the sun began its descent, a nagging thought lingered in Ethan's mind like a persistent shadow. He couldn't shake off the feeling that Daphne's reappearance was more than just a coincidence. There had to be a deeper motive driving her sudden interest in him.Lost in thought, he leaned back in his leather chair and allowed himself a moment of contemplation. What could Daphne possibly want from him? Why would she seek his help, only to disappear so abruptly? Ethan's analytical mind churned through possibilities, each scenario more intriguing than the last.The most obvious explanation came to him. Daphne's family's bankrupt

Ethan strolled out of the office, and the moment he stepped into the elevator, fate intervened, presenting him with Nina. His eyes lit up as he locked gazes with her, and a mischievous grin spread across his face. Nina, initially caught off guard by his sudden appearance, hadn't received a whisper about his arrival that day. She inhaled sharply, her mind racing, but decided to embrace the unexpected encounter. After all, Ethan had been her confidant in the past, before his true identity was unveiled."How have you been?" she asked, a hint of curiosity dancing in her eyes, accompanied by a warm smile.Ethan, oblivious to any potential complications, saw no harm in engaging with someone who had once showered him with kindness. His reply was laced with genuine concern, "I've been alright, but I should be asking how you're holding up. Is the new manager anything like Manager Lin?"Nina vigorously shook her head, her heart pounding in her chest, desperate to hide the truth, to shield her v

A few days later, Ethan walked out of the car and walked into the restaurant and enter to see Daphne looking at him with a smile.He looked at his watch and was surprised to see that she was early. She was never like it while they were still married together.Daphne turned towards Ethan with a smile, her eyes shining with anticipation. She reached out and held his hands, her touch familiar yet distant. Ethan couldn't help but feel a pang of unease, but he quickly masked it with a neutral expression, determined not to show any annoyance on his face."I'm glad you finally decided to meet up with me," Daphne said, her voice filled with genuine excitement.Ethan nodded, his gaze fixed on the floor as they walked into the restaurant. He knew the importance of keeping their rendezvous private, so he had chosen a secluded VIP room in his own family's restaurant. The last thing he wanted was news of their meeting spreading like wildfire.Ethan remained silent, his gaze fixed on the floor as

Daphne felt a surge of happiness as Ethan seemed to open up to her once again, reminiscent of their past. She couldn't help but envision a future where they would be together again, finally making things right. With a smile on her face, she leaned forward, eager to express her desires."You have no idea how much I want us to be back together, Ethan," Daphne said, her voice filled with hope. "I've missed you more than words can describe."Ethan nodded, contemplating his next words carefully. He wanted to tread cautiously, aware of the complexities of their relationship."I must admit, Daphne, the thought of being together again has crossed my mind as well," Ethan confessed, his tone reflecting a mix of vulnerability and sincerity. "But we need to take things slow, rebuild trust, and address the issues that tore us apart."Daphne's eyes lit up with anticipation, thrilled to hear Ethan's willingness to give their relationship another chance. But before she could respond, Ethan suggested
The Callous CEO Chapter 109 Something feels off
Ethan exited the restaurant, feeling a sense of relief as he brushed off the affairs of the adulterous pair. However, an unsettling feeling washed over him, making him believe someone was observing him. Yet, every time he turned to investigate, there was no one in sight. Perplexed, he pondered over the identity of the intense gaze, but ultimately decided to push it aside and carry on.As he approached his car, preparing to drive away, the sensation of being watched returned, this time emanating from the very restaurant he had just left. Intrigued and unwilling to ignore it any longer, Ethan made up his mind to delve deeper into the mystery. He peered back at the establishment, hoping to catch a glimpse of the person fixated on him, but to no avail. The enigma deepened, fueling Ethan's curiosity further."Something feels off. Could it be those gangs again? They never seem to learn," he muttered, accompanied by a sly smirk.Recognizing his unique ability to scan his surroundings with he

Joan interjected, her voice brimming with curiosity. "Have you managed to figure out who it might have been? What do you think their intentions were?"Ethan shook his head, his expression serious. "I've been racking my brain, trying to make sense of it. But I don't have any leads. It's as if this intense stare came from someone unknown, someone who vanished without a trace."Steve furrowed his brow, contemplating the implications. "So, what do we do now? How can we uncover the identity of this mysterious watcher?"Ethan looked determinedly at his companions. "We need to investigate further. I'll review the security footage from the restaurant, hoping to catch a glimpse of this person. Maybe there are other witnesses or clues we can uncover."Kate stepped closer, her eyes filled with determination. "We're with you, Ethan. We'll support you in finding answers and unraveling this mystery."Ethan nodded, grateful for their unwavering support. "Thank you, Kate. I know I can rely on all of
The Callous CEO Chapter 111 Don't forget about your promise
Days later, Daphne and Tim found themselves in a luxurious private restaurant, far away from any connection to Ethan. The dimly lit VIP room exuded an air of exclusivity, with plush velvet chairs and an elegant crystal chandelier hanging overhead. The room offered them privacy, allowing for a candid conversation without prying eyes.Tim sat across from Daphne, his face cold and distant. He listened intently as she began to speak, her words filled with a comforting reassurance.“Daphne, I need some clarity here," Tim said, his voice devoid of emotion. "You said that meeting with Ethan was just closure, but how can I be sure? You were married to him, and you still have ties to him through the family companies as he used to work for you. His can I trust you then”"Tim, I need you to understand that meeting Ethan was merely a meeting of closure," Daphne began, her voice gentle yet determined. "It was a step I had to take for both of us, for the sake of our families and our companies. Tru
