The Arthurs company, The next day, Peter met up with Ethan at his office. He explained the situation to Ethan, and Ethan was shocked."I can't believe someone would do this," Ethan said with a calm expression. "I would never do anything to harm your company and I'm sure BG wouldn't either. If not, I wouldn't bother to link you up with BG.""I know," Peter hurriedly said just not to look like he was making an accusation. "But I'm positive someone is trying to make it look like you did. They're trying to destroy my company and ruin my reputation.""I know. We need to find out who it is," Ethan said with his hand on his chin. "We need to stop them before they can do any more damage."Peter hurriedly nodded his head just as it seems he has seen his savior. "I know. I've already started an investigation. I'll keep you updated."Peter and Ethan parted ways, both determined to find out who was behind the sabotage.Meanwhile, Daphne was also investigating. She went back to the company and s
Daphne smiled and looked at Ethan, but he remained silent and didn't react."Daphne, you and I know Tim will never try to do anything to hurt you. After all, he is the man you betrayed your husband for, and there's no way such a man would hurt the woman he so desperately loves," Ethan finally spoke."You're getting everything wrong here, Ethan," Daphne replied with a sad look."I broke up with Tim even before I met you again. I told you before, and I'll tell you again that there's no way I can love any other man like I love you."Ethan burst into laughter and made no attempt to pretend it was a joke."Do you seriously want to do this now? I don't remember asking you, my ex wife to show me your feelings. After all, you two were seen together not long ago, and here you are, telling me about how you love me and all that. Do I look like an ignorant child to you?"Daphne was surprised as she never expected her meeting with Tim, which she had carefully ensured remained hidden from Ethan, w
Daphne was shaken by Ethan's reaction. She had expected him to be angry at her for betraying him, but she had never thought that he would be so indifferent. She didn't know what to do next.She decided to go to Tim and ask him for ‘help’. She knew that he would be angry with her for going to Ethan, but she didn't have any other choice.She got there and realized he was home alone, When she arrived at Tim's house, he was not surprised to see her."I knew you would come," he said. "I've been expecting you.""What do you want? I already told you I had nothing to do with your arrest”. Daphne asked."I want you to tell me what happened," Tim said. "I want to know why you went to Ethan."Daphne hesitated for a moment, but then she told Tim everything. She told him about how she had met Ethan, how she had tried to trick him into thinking she had fallen in love with him, and how she had betrayed him.Tim listened to her story without interrupting. When she was finished, he shook his head.
“Leona ?” Jennie called her again making sure this time she would hear her loud and clearly.Leona looked at her calmly and asked ,“What? I heard you the first time you called me”Jennie, with a jesting expression, couldn't contain her curiosity any longer. "Leona, why did you pretend not to know that Master Ethan was here? I saw you looking out the window as soon as his car arrived.” she said and paused.“It seems you knew his car had arrived. Do you by any chance have this connection between you two? Now you're acting like you don't care."Leona, trying to maintain her composure, calmly walked towards the sofa and picked up the script that had been sent to her by Manager Pan. She pretended indifference as she started going through it. "Jennie, I genuinely didn't see him. I was just lost in my own thoughts."Jennie crossed her arms on her chest with a questionable look and asked ,“And you expect me to believe that. You stood up to look outside and you are telling me you were los
A few hours later, Ethan was sitting in his office, waiting for the representatives from the new cooperation to arrive. He was feeling confident that he could convince them to stay in the deal, but he knew that it wouldn't be easy.The door to his office opened and the representatives entered. They were a group of three men, all dressed in expensive suits. They looked Ethan up and down, their expressions unreadable."Mr. Willow," the lead representative said. "We're glad you could meet with us.""Of course," Ethan said. "I'm always happy to discuss business."The representatives sat down and Ethan began to explain the terms of the deal. He went over the benefits that the cooperation would receive, and he emphasized the importance of their partnership.“All that I can tell you is you won't be disappointed with collaborating with the Willow branch in Houston”The representatives listened attentively, but they didn't say anything. When Ethan was finished, they looked at each other fo
Tim was called into his father's study. He knew this was not going to be good. Tim sat nervously in his father's study, the weight of the recent events heavy on his shoulders. His father, Paul walked in, his face flushed with anger. He closed the door behind him, leaving them alone in the dimly lit room.Paul asked angrily trying to keep his in check ,"What were you thinking, Tim? Going back to that girl, Daphne? Have you lost your mind?"He knew his father would be furious when he found out that Tim had gone back to Daphne.“I.. I didn't do anything of a sort father” he said trying not to make eye contact. "What the hell were you thinking, Tim?" Paul stood up and roared as soon as Tim said those words. "I told you to stay away from that woman, but you just couldn't listen, could you?""Dad, I'm not serious about Daphne anymore," Tim said. "I just wanted to have some fun.""Fun?" his father exploded. "You think this is a joke? You've ruined everything! Because of your actions, o
As soon as Tim left his father's study, the white-haired man emerged from his hidden spot, silently observing Paul with a sinister grin on his face. Paul, now trembling with fear, turned to face the imposing figure."Where are you from ? What do you..want?" Paul managed to stammer, his voice shaky with anxiety.The white-haired man took a few steps forward, his eyes locked on Paul. "You must be surprised to see me," he said, his voice cold and calculating. "I've heard quite a bit about you and your sons successful beautiful ‘sucess’ this time ."Paul gulped nervously, realizing that this man was not someone to be trifled with. "What do you want with me dead sir. I'm sorry for how I asked you for your presence just now. I was just taken aback" he asked, trying to maintain some semblance of composure."I want to discuss your lovely son, Tim," the white-haired man replied with a mocking smile. "He seems to be quite the character, doesn't he? Getting into all sorts of trouble and messin
Seline hung up the phone, her mind racing. She knew that Paul was worried about something, and she was determined to find out what it was. She went to Tim's room and knocked on the door."Tim, can I talk to you?" she asked.Tim opened the door and looked at his mother with surprise. "What's wrong, Mom?" he asked."I just spoke to your father," Seline said, "and he told me that you've made some serious mistakes. He wants you to be cautious and not to do anything rash."Tim's eyes widened. "What kind of mistakes? Did… Did he say something?” he asked with a nervous look. "I don't know," Seline said as she thought about it. "Your father didn't tell me, but he said that you're in danger or something ."Tim's heart was in relief. "I knew it," he said. "I've been feeling like I'm going to be punished for something, but it's all good now. And you also know how father can be sometimes. Acting all mysterious all the time.”Selena smiled as she took his hand ,“I just sometimes feel like
