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
As soon as Paul sat down, Ethan didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "So, what do you want to talk about?"Paul took a moment to assess Ethan, not surprised by his imposing presence as the Willow's heir.

After Paul left, Kate observed Ethan with a raised eyebrow, waiting for an explanation."Care to explain what just happened right now?" she asked.Ethan's smirk only grew wider as he noticed her curiosity. "Am I that obvious?" he teased.Kate couldn't help but chuckle. "Well, you're not exactly known for being a good guy," she replied playfully. "So, what are you trying to do, Ethan?"Ethan leaned back in his chair, his fingers steepled in front of him. "You're right, Kate. I don't want to work with Paul directly," he admitted, "but I do want to use him to my advantage."Kate nodded, captivated. "And what advantage would that be?" she asked, genuinely curious about Ethan's plan.Ethan's eyes sparkled with mischief. "Let's just say I've set a little trap for our dear new friend, Paul," he said with a smirk.Kate frowned, not fully understanding. "A trap? What do you mean?" she inquired.Ethan chuckled, enjoying the conspiracy he was building. "You see, Kate," he began, "I've been obser
Ethan looked directly into Paul's eyes, his expression unyielding. "I'm interested in your appearance, Paul," he said calmly. Paul raised an eyebrow, faking ignorance. "My appearance? What about it?" he replied with a touch of arrogance. Ethan smirked, undeterred by Paul's attempt to deflect the question. "Your appearance has always been the same," he observed. "But something seems off about it. Care to explain?" Paul maintained a facade of composure. "My appearance hasn't changed," he said firmly. "It's none of your business to question me about it." Ethan's smile turned dangerous, his eyes glinting with amusement. "None of my business, you say?" he asked, leaning in closer. "Is that really the case?" Paul's expression remained patient, but a hint of uncertainty flashed in his eyes. "What are you trying to imply, Ethan?" he asked, attempting to regain control of the situation. Ethan leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms. "I'm simply curious," he said coyly. "After all, you
As Ethan laughed, Paul's patience wore thin, and he demanded an explanation. "What's so amusing, Ethan? Are you that happy you died? he asked, his smirk replaced by irritation.Ethan finally composed himself and leaned back, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Oh, Paul, you and our new 'partner' here seem to think you've outsmarted me," he said, his voice dripping with amusement.The white-haired man, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up. "And what makes you think we haven't?" he retorted, his tone cold and guarded.Ethan's smile didn't waver. "Because, my dear ‘partner’, I've known about your little act from the beginning," he replied casually.The white-haired man's expression remained stoic, but a hint of surprise flickered in his eyes. "How?" he asked, trying not to show any vulnerability.Ethan chuckled. "I know the game of deception very well," he said. "Your sudden betrayal of Paul and wanting to join forces with me was a bit too convenient."Paul's eyes narrowed, real
As Ethan's men flooded into the room, Paul and the white-haired man were taken aback by the sudden turn of events. Even Kate, who had come with Ethan, was surprised by the display of power. Her young master had everything under control all along, and here she was worrying about his safety.The room was filled with the presence of Ethan's loyal and capable men, each of them acknowledging him with great respect."Young master," they men all greeted, their voices full of admiration and respect .The white-haired man sneered at the show of support from Ethan's men.

"They are not mindless followers," he said calmly. "They are loyal people who believe in our cause."The white-haired man's arrogance wavered for a moment, but he quickly composed himself. "It doesn't matter," he retorted. "You may have won this round, but you won't be so lu
At the mansion, Ethan returned home with Kate, where they were met with the worried Steve. He immediately approached Ethan with concern in his eyes, “Thank goodness you are back”Hearing his words Ethan raised an eyebrow questionable and asked ,“What happened ?”Steve did not respond but instead said with worry ,"Ethan, are you okay! I've been trying to reach you all day. I called the office, and they said you weren't there and that you have left since afternoon. Did you go somewhere or did you encounter something bad?What happened?"Seeing Steve act all worried about him, Ethan did not say a word and just smiled .“What's so funny?” Steve asked with a hint of irritation in his voice .Ethan shrugged indifferently and took a seat, motioning for Kate to recount the events. "It's a long story, Steve. Let Kate fill you in on the details, not in the mood to talk" he said.Kate took a deep breath and began narrating everything that had transpired. She started from the moment Paul had
