Daphne exclaimed and started running towards the figure that was leaving.Ethan did not need to bother himself with such a person and was about to leave already.But just then, he felt a hand on his arm, making him stop in his tracks.He looked behind him with a cold look and saw the smiling face of the person he didn't want to see."Thank God you're here. I was expecting to see you when I came to your office, but they told me you weren't there. I was so worried about you," she said, trying to sound considerate.But to Ethan, she seemed like a person who cared and was worried about him."This... this," the manager stammered, feeling like he was in a very hot room despite the air conditioner."She knows him. Then I'm doomed," he said as he wiped the sweat from his face.He was just about to walk over to Ethan to explain himself when Ethan's next words stopped him."Who are you?" Ethan asked Daphne with raised eyebrows.Daphne felt like she had been hit with a rock and stood there dumbf
Ethan walked back home with a gloomy look on his face, and Steve, who happened to be the only person present, noticed it."Young master," he called with a worried look.Ethan stopped in his tracks and looked at him. "Is anything the matter?" he asked with a concerned expression.Ethan continued to stare at him and said, "Follow me," then walked into his study.Steve didn't know what he did, but he still followed him anyway."Now, will you explain to me how there is a 'me' back home with my grandmother that I know nothing about?" Ethan asked, placing his hands on his chest.Steve was shocked, as he knew Kate nor the rest would tell him about this."You were supposed to find out for yourself when you go back home," he said and realized he had said something he shouldn't have."What did you just say?" Ethan asked, a questioning look on his face.Steve swallowed a morsel of saliva, realizing there was no going back anymore."I think it's time you know. But before that, I would like to ask
“No, Ethan, they will kill you. These guys are just a level below the ones under my aunt. They are nothing like the ones that attacked us the last time. You have to get out of here”Brain said but then he felt a sharp pain in his stomach making him spit out a mouthful of blood .“I don’t know how you were able to remove that cloth from your mouth, but you better be obedient or else you wouldn’t like what will happen later, “ the leader said as he held him up with one hand.“You were supposed to be my father's trusted friend. What happened to you? Why are you doing this?” Brian asked with tears in his eyes.But he wasn’t going to let them fall just like that.He promised Ethan he will be strong, “So what if I was friends with him? Is there a rule that says I can not do whatever I want just because I am friends with your father? Don’t be greedy as we all need to do what will benefit us” their leader said.“You should be glad the big boss just had you hired up. He usually just kills
As the leader trembled in Ethan's grip, his fear-stricken eyes darted around, desperately searching for an escape route. But Ethan held him firmly, his smile never faltering, radiating an air of confidence that sent shivers down the leader's spine."You should have thought twice before crossing paths with Brian ," Ethan said calmly, his voice carrying a dangerous edge. "Now, listen carefully. You're going to deliver a message to your boss on my behalf"“What again? Y..you have already said enough don't you think ?” the leader said in a trmbling voice. “Oh, you think I'm done. Well then sorry for the misunderstanding. I really do have something else to say” Ethan said with a grimace.The leader's voice quivered as he stammered, "W-What message?"Ethan leaned in closer, his eyes piercing into the depths of the leader's soul. "Tell her that Brian is under my protection now. And make sure she understands that crossing him will come at a price. And if she doesn't want to have a problem w
The hospital bustled with activity as Ethan and his companions made their way to Dan's office, supporting the injured Brian between them. Brian, still battered and unconscious, was their reminder of the danger they faced not long ago and the urgency of their mission ahead. As they entered the office, Ethan helped Brian onto a nearby couch, making him as comfortable as possible. Dan glanced at Brian with concern, his eyes filled with compassion.“He is all yours. You should work on before he dies” Ethan said with an unconcern look. "We can't ignore Brian's condition," Dan said, his voice filled with empathy. "We must tend to his injuries . I'll gather the necessary supplies."“I never said I will ignore his condition. I just don't want him relying on me or anyone. Let's not forget that he is an heir to his family's organization. He needs to be strong and not weak” Ethan reminded .Dan looked at the unconscious Brian and knew he was right .“I understand. I just got emotional just no
Ethan stood outside the ward, his gaze fixed on the slumbering Brian. Concern etched deep lines on his face, despite his attempts to mask his worry. He wrestled with his emotions, battling the guilt and responsibility he felt for the young heir.Dan approached him, a knowing smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "You care about him more than you let on, Ethan. He looks up to you, you know. Considers you an idol."Ethan turned his gaze towards Dan, a mix of pain and determination in his eyes. "He shouldn't see me that way. It's a futile admiration. I'm just trying to make him self-reliant, to protect him from relying on others."Dan studied Ethan for a moment, a newfound understanding dawning on him. He realized that Ethan's actions were driven not only by a desire to keep Brian safe but also to mold him into a resilient individual."He is the rightful heir of the Willow family, and you are guiding him in your own way," Dan stated, his voice filled with admiration.Ethan sighed, a
Leona walked out of the restaurant, her script held tightly in her hands, a radiant smile gracing her face as she greeted the people before her."Okay, I think that's all for today," the director declared, his gaze shifting to Leona. "You, the one who played the female lead in this drama, must give it your all."Leona met his words with unwavering determination. "I promise, Director. I won't let you down."A wave of admiration washed over the supporting female lead as she locked eyes with Leona. "I can't contain my excitement to work with a beauty like you. Pray, do share your secrets for maintaining such a flawless, collagen-infused visage and figure."Leona regarded her with genuine fondness, seeing past the pretentiousness that often veiled other actresses. To her, this young woman was a beacon of joy, a spirited soul who had only recently transitioned into adulthood. Leona gently caressed her head and whispered, "We shall discuss this further during our evening chat."The lady's r
As Leona immersed herself in the captivating world of the Willow family, the sound of her doorbell chimed through her apartment. Startled from her research, she closed her laptop and hurried to answer the door.Peeping through the peephole, she saw Jenny standing there, even though Jenny couldn't see her.She unlocked the door and crossed her arms, asking, "What are you doing here?"Jenny replied with a fake smile, "It's nice to see you too, after leaving for two whole days without a word to me."Leona realized her tired act was busted and gave Jenny a sheepish smile. "My dearest Jenny, please come in."With that, Leona gestured for Jenny to enter and bowed slightly.Jenny looked at her and couldn't contain her laughter any longer. They both walked to the couch and sat opposite each other."Okay, I know you've been busy, but you could have at least texted me or something. I got worried," Jenny said."I know, I know. I got caught up in this new drama," Leona responded with an exhausted
