The next day, Ethan woke up early, his mind already focused on the day ahead. He got dressed in a sharp black suit, the crimson tie matching his scarlet eyes. His appearance exuded confidence and determination, the perfect image of a leader ready to take on any challenge.As he descended the stairs, he noticed something unusual. Sara was already seated at the dining table, having her breakfast. It was a rare sight, as Ethan had never seen her at the table during his stay at the mansion.“This is new," he murmured to himself. Not wanting to make a big deal out of it, Ethan calmly walked to his seat, which was directly opposite Sara. He greeted her with a nod, and they both started eating their breakfast in silence.Butler Charles and Sara's assistant stood nearby, exchanging resigned glances. The tension between the grandmother and the son was noticeable, and it seemed like neither of them had any intention of engaging in conversation.As Ethan sipped his coffee, he could feel Sa
The sleek black car glided through the streets, carrying Adam and Robert back to their mansion. Robert couldn't contain his frustration and began venting his feelings about Ethan."Father, I can't stand Ethan's arrogance. He thinks he can do whatever he wants just because he's got Grandma's backing. It's infuriating," Robert complained, scowling.Adam stared coldly at his son through the rearview mirror, a hint of disappointment in his eyes. "Robert, you need to control your emotions. Have you forgotten where you are? “But his words were just to make him angry as his expressions became very grieve, “ Ethan is a very smart person and he's proven himself to be a quick-witted person, smart. You on the other hand should stop being jealous as it won't get you anywhere.""But Dad, I'm more capable than him! I could handle the company better, why should grandmother give him everything” Robert retorted, his frustration evident.Adam let out a deep sigh. "If you were as smart as you claim
As Sara finished her breakfast, she reminded Ethan about the meeting with the Williams and emphasized its importance. The two of them, accompanied by her assistant, made their way to the large backyard where a private helicopter stood.Assistant: "Are you sure about leaving the Williams matter in Ethan's hands, Chairwoman?"Sara, exuding a calm and cold aura, replied confidently, "This is Ethan's responsibility now. I've entrusted everything to him, and I don't need to worry about anything else."Assistant: "But they are a significant client, Chairwoman. Are you certain this is the right decision?"Sara: "Yes, I am. Ethan has proven himself capable, and I trust his judgment. Besides, it's time he takes on more responsibilities."With that, Sara boarded the helicopter, her assistant following suit. As they took off, she felt a mix of pride and anticipation for Ethan's capabilities.Meanwhile, back at the mansion, Ethan finished his breakfast after a few minutes of Sara's departure. H
Claudia couldn't shake the feeling of unease as she stared at her twin brother, James, who seemed more interested in his phone than addressing her question."Why did you lie?" she asked firmly, determined not to let the matter slide.James looked up from his phone, a smirk playing on his lips. "Lie? What are you talking about, Claudia?"Claudia's expression hardened. She wasn't going to let him evade the question. "Don't play dumb, James. You told me someone from our family's company was spreading rumors about our collaboration with the Willows. But I know you were the one who started those ‘rumors’. What you said holds no truth and you know that ."James sighed, his amusement fading slightly. "Alright, fine. I did it, but it's for the best. We can't trust others completely can we ?”Claudia's eyes narrowed. "Trust has to start somewhere, James. We can't build a successful relationship on lies and deception. What's your real motive for doing all this? Isn't it for his attention “Jame

The next morning, Sara sat in the cozy sitting room of the mansion, a cup of tea in her hands.Ethan entered the room, his expression focused yet calm."Good morning, grandmother," Ethan greeted, giving her a nod.Sara smiled warmly, "Good morning, Ethan . How are things going with the company and the Williams partnership?"Ethan took a seat across from her, "Everything is on track. The initial discussions have been positive, and we're moving forward with the planned collaboration."Sara leaned back in her chair, studying Ethan's demeanor. "Your father would be pleased to see the way you're handling things."Ethan nodded, "I hope I'm living up to his expectations."Sara's expression turned serious, "You're doing well, but remember, the business world can be challenging. Keep your wits about you and trust your instincts."Ethan listened attentively, "I will, Chaireoman ."Sara was a bit taken aback with his sudden distance then leaned forward, a twinkle in her eye, "On a different note
After Ethan left the room, Sara turned to Arva with a warm smile. "Arva, my dear, let me show you to your guest room."Arva nodded graciously, following Sara as they walked down the hallway.Sara led her to a beautifully appointed guest room overlooking the lush gardens.As they entered the room, Sara began, "I wanted to talk to you about something, Arva."Arva looked at her with interest, "Of course, Sara. What is it?"Sara's expression turned more serious, "You see, Ethan… he went through a lot during the time he was away from the family."Arva's eyes softened with concern, "I can only imagine how difficult that must have been."Sara continued, her voice tinged with empathy, "Yes, he faced challenges and hardships that shaped him into the person he is today."Arva joined in the conversation, "It's not easy to face the world alone, especially when you come from a family with such expectations."Sara nodded, appreciating Arva's understanding. "Exactly. And that's why I wanted to ask y
