Chloe clenched her jaw tightly and smiled bitterly. "I didn't go to acting school, and the William family is the only place I can come to whenever I have a problem because they are my family."The corners of Lewis' mouth curled up into a proud smile. "Your family? Don't humor me, Chloe. If you care so much about the William family, you should've divorced your loser husband and married someone wealthier a long time ago!""You are nothing but a darn hypocrite! And the last thing our William family needs is a hypocrite!"He gripped her jaw tightly and violently pushed her to the ground.He sensed he was in danger and instinctively rushed to Adam's side.When he stood beside Adam, his eyes darkened in anger, realizing he had sprinted away from her just because he was scared of what Ethan would do to him.His eyes met with Ethan's, and the corners of his lips hooked into a triumphant smile."Did you come all the way here just to beg for alms? If that's all, then you should leave before I a

Chloe's eyes welled up with tears as she stared at Adam in disbelief.If someone did anything wrong, it was only right that they claim responsibility for it, especially if it would save others from being punished for something they didn't do.Any normal person would punish the guilty one and let others go, so why was her grandfather being adamant about punishing the rest of her family when she was the only one who did something wrong?Did he really not care about her and her family?No one knew what was going through Chloe's mind, but as soon as Adam stopped talking and turned to leave, she quickly got up and tried to run after him.However, Lewis suddenly blocked her path and mocked, "How else do you want Grandfather to say it?""He doesn't want any member of your family back into the William family. Get that into your ugly, thick skull!""No one would want someone like you and your family to return to them. You secured a job at Springdale National College, and you couldn't even keep

Lewis' head snapped towards the staff in disbelief. "What? My cousin got the job as Levi Cruz's assistant?"The staff quickly shook his head. "Not at all, sir. I suddenly just recalled seeing Chloe William at Pearl Hotel not too long ago. I think yesterday or the day before.""About who was chosen to be Levi Cruz's assistant, the company is yet to inform the general public."Lewis didn't care about who got the job as long as it wasn't Chloe, so he shifted his attention to what the staff mentioned the first time. "You said you remember seeing Chloe at Pearl Hotel. What did she go to do there?" The staff hummed lightly. "Pearl Hotel released an official statement on all their social media platforms announcing they'd be expanding their business. As a result, they need more hands on deck.""Your cousin has no business there. It's not like she can afford the simplest dish on their menu, so I think she went there in search of a job."Lewis' lips curled into a wicked grin as he looked at t

Ethan moved away from the wall and approached Chloe stealthily. "Did you say something?"Chloe hurriedly got up from the chair, and rushed up to her room before he could get to her while yelling, "Nuh-uh. What? You thought you heard something? You didn't!""I'm very sure of what I heard. What are the odds I misheard?" Ethan wanted to say, but swallowed it back.Her frightened leaving only confirmed she had said exactly what he heard.Before long, a smile crept onto the man's face, and his cheeks stretched into a wide and broad smile.He was still reeling from happiness when a call came into his phone, and he took it out to see it was a call from Hermes Reese."Forgive me, Commander, that it took me this long to get back to you about what you asked of me.""The Lauthner family don't entirely trust the smaller families they control, so they always move to the date of the meetings where they discuss the affairs of the...trafficked children.""The head of the Lauthner family called me a m

It took only a minute for three security guards to come rushing into the store and straight to where Ethan and the salesperson were standing.As soon as he saw them, the salesperson pointed at Ethan and said loudly, "I suspect this man right here to be a thief. I've asked him to leave nicely, but he insists on getting an apology from me simply because I called him a thief!""A thief?" The security man in front repeated and glanced towards Ethan.One glance at him, and he frowned, immediately believing the salesperson."You've not stolen anything. Good for you. If you do not want to spend the miserly money you have left to bail yourself from the police station, then I suggest you come with me now."Ethan stared straight at him and raised a questioning brow, "I came here to get a vehicle. Why should I leave with you before getting my hands on one?"The security man whipped out his baton and waved it in Ethan's face threateningly."What? Have you ever been to the police station? Maybe sl

Everyone in the store was rendered speechless by his words, but the very next second, they were all glaring hard at Ethan and harrumphing loudly in disdain."Where did this thick-skinned bastard crawl out from?""It doesn't look like he's from around here. Maybe this is how people from where he comes from behave.""He must think everyone he comes across is a fool then."The salesperson who was the first to call Ethan a thief turned to Camille and sighed deeply."Manager Stark, responding to this loser would be a waste of your time. It's obvious he's just looking for a way to get us to let our guards down. Permit me to call the police so they can drag him away."Camille ignored the words of the people swirling around her and focused her attention on Ethan."What? We may be in this part of the city, but people from wealthy families all over the world come to Springdale and our store in particular to get their cars and motorcycles.""The twentieth most expensive car in our VIP showroom i

"Hmph! I told you he was a thief, didn't I?""Guard the door very well. It would be very bad of us to miss an opportunity to teach this thief a lesson!""A pity what is about to happen to you. Ms. Stark gave you so many opportunities to back out and find a way out, but you refused to heed it. You only have yourself to blame now."Rickon Martell flicked his stylish watch to his eyes to see the time, then folded his hands on his chest and grinned at Ethan."Lucky you, my schedule is free today. So I have all the time in the world to mete out your punishment to you."After saying that, he turned to the three security men in the store and nudged his head at them. "Grab him and strip him of his clothes. Then drag him to my car."The security men nodded and quickly advanced towards Ethan. However, an icy glance from Ethan made their brains temporarily shut down.Their limbs halted, and their outstretched hands, which were ready to grab Ethan, hung midair.Their brains had sent a warning sig

It took Camille's lawyer less than ten minutes to draft the transfer agreement and make his way to the store.It was just a piece of paper with fewer than ten lines written on it. No hidden clause in it.Ethan went through the words on it twice before he lowered his pen to the place where his name was needed.When he was done writing, he handed the agreement to Camille, who signed almost immediately.Then he took back the paper, neatly folded it, and slipped it into his pocket.Afterward, his eyes flickered across the faces in the room before he smiled at the man and woman in front of him."The transaction was successful. Now I want my apologies. And I want them with you both on your knees. Surely you haven't forgotten you made an agreement like that with me, have you?"Rickon Martell didn't move an inch, and neither did Camille Stark.Seeing this, the salesperson who had lost his job the moment Ethan signed the transfer agreement thought it was their way of standing up against him, s

Wexford That evening, Declan Wellington felt cooped up at home, so he left the house to spend the day golfing with a close friend of the Wellingtons who owned a golf course. They golfed together for three hours before they got tired and drove to his house to rest. Marvin Phelps poured him a drink before asking politely, “This may be out of place for me to ask, Mr. Wellington, but you seemed out of it throughout today. Is anything the matter?” “What?” An absent-minded Declan didn’t know when he blurted out, glancing at him. Marvin Phelps sat up, now fully convinced there was something on Declan’s mind. With a serious look on his face, he cautiously continued, “What is the problem? Is anyone troubling you? Say the word and I’ll have that person’s legs crushed to bits and forcefully drag them here!” Declan raised his eyes to look at him. Even if he said nothing, his eyes lit up a little when he recalled who Marvin was. The Phelps family was headed by this man despit

Scott William was instantly taken aback. Then he gritted his teeth in rage and resisted the urge to grab her by the collar as he yelled at her angrily. “What do you think you’re doing? He’s your son-in-law, how could you think of doing something so despicable to him!”“I know you’ve been looking for ways to get rid of him, but he’s having a psychotic breakdown? Matilda Brown, are you out of your mind?!” However, the woman ignored him and reached into her bag for a file. She placed it on the counter and continued speaking to the officer with a straight face. “Here. This is the result of the psych evaluation. You can check with the hospital he took it at just to be sure.” Scott closed the distance between them and grabbed her arm firmly, “If you have nothing better to do, then turn around and go back home.” “I know you’re scared of this affecting our family, but you don’t have anything to worry about because I’ll take care of this!” “Ethan didn’t do what they’re accusing him of

The sergeant and the other officers were slightly taken aback by his sudden compliance. Given that Charles and Kane were questioning their every word, they assumed they would have to use force to get him out of here. However, not only was he complying, but he was even flashing them a faint, non-aggressive smile. It was as though he had the situation under control which caused them to wonder why. They were yet to be reached by anyone from the higherups, so what was this guy doing. Since Ethan was coming with them willingly, there was no need to cuff him at all. So the sergeant nodded and led him to the station. The reception was decvoid of people, but those who were in their rooms before a few minutes ago, were all standing beside their windows watching who was getting arrested. Ethan walked to the passenger side of the car and glanced around him with an unbothered smile before proceeding to get in. In Wexford County, in the Wellington family residence, Declan Wellington was w

Ethan’s eyes darkened instantly. Almost immediately, he felt a call come into his phone and checked the caller to see it was Declan calling. He was silent for a few seconds before assured her calmly, “I’ll bring them back. Chloe and Honey, I’ll make sure they come back without a scratch.” “For now, focus on getting better. Neither of them would like it if return to see you in such a terrible state.” Then he ended the call without waiting for her response and answered Declan’s. As soon as the call connected, Declan’s bubbly voice sounded in his ears, “Your little bastard is a little too pretty. Truly her mother’s daughter.” “Your genes almost lost the fight, but her eyes saved you. Hopefully, if your other bastard lives, it would put up a fight to look exactly like you.” Ethan tightened his grip around his phone, but said nothing. He remained expressionless, but his eyes beamed furious. Yet, he couldn’t bring himself to say anything in really. Declan had truly blinded him from

Ethan didn’t react immediately. He was silent for several seconds before he responded. “You’re the highly esteemed head of the Welllington family. Why resort to threatening your enemy with somsone close to them when you can face them head on yourself?”Declan yawned boredly from the other end. “What nonsense are you talking about? My enemy? You? You really think I think of you as my enemy?” “In what world did you think a bastard like you is worthy of becoming an enemy of Declan Wellington?” “We may share the same father, but to me, you’re nothing more than a confused rat. Sure, you’ve spent a few years in the army and earned yourself a few lackeys, but vagrant like you should know their place.”“Simply talking to me is a privilege you should never have. Whatever I’ll make you go through is a privilege you don’t deserve. Even if I kill you, you should be grateful I let you die by my hands!”Ethan chuckled calmly and went on to reply. “I was told you sent one of the best men your

Meanwhile, Charles Wilkins was looking into the people who crashed into Claire’s car and took Chloe. He tracked them down to their base in a nightclub. The club had lax security. Hence, he wasn’t stopped by the hefty men standing the door as he walked into the club. It was a few minutes past 7 in the evening and the club was getting filled by people. He stood in the middle of the room and glanced around before he spotted the VIP section and strutted straight to it. It didn’t take him long to find the room of the club’s own given that there were six hefty bodyguards in front of the door. Inside the room, a short and fat man was sitting on the couch with two of his colleagues while watching three unclad ladies dancing on a strip poles. Because the music in the room was so loud, he didn’t hear the tussle outside and only realized something was wrong when an unfamiliar man walked into the room wiping his hands seemingly clean hands clean. Charles didn’t look at anyone as he

As soon as Lewis William ended the call, he stood over an unconscious Chloe with a lewd look in his eyes. Ever since he knew right from wrong, he was always told of her lucky he was to have such beautiful cousins. Had Chloe not fallen out of grace with the William family and most people in Springdale, he had no doubt his life would still be filled with words of how lucky he was to have Chloe and Claire as his cousins. He never saw the beauty everyone saw, but now that he was alone with her and could see her up close, he finally saw it. Was she not his cousin, he would’ve slept with her first before handing her over to this gallery director. As he walked out of the house, he received a call from somsone. “What do you think you’re doing? I clearly told you the person I am after is Claire William!” Vivian Martell yelled from the other end as soon as the call connected. Lewis sucked in a deep breath to keep himself from screaming back at her and retorted calmly, “There’s no need to

A minute later, Charles turned to Ethan and reported solemnly, “Mrs. Black wasn’t taken by Declan Wellington. She was taken by the William family.” In the William family residence. Adam William paced to and fro in the living room, his hands clasped behind his back and brows knitted together in worry. “Grandfather, after today, I will make sure our William family will no longer be looked down on by other families!” Those were the words Lewis said to him this morning before he left the house. Ever since Astoria Corporation pulled away their investment, other companies followed suit. They were not only knee-deep in debt, but every valuable thing in their house had been taken by the bank and everyone they were owing. They took everything ranging from jewelries, electronics and furnitures. Even the expensive looking lights were not left out. Adam had run to those whom he had helped when the William family were at its peak a few months ago, but they all hung up on him the moment th

He called her three times and each time, the phone wasn’t answered. There was no denying it now. Soenthing had really happened. His brows knitted into a tight frown as he switched to calling Claire. But just like Chloe, Claire didn’t answer her phone either. As soon as the third call ended, the screen of his phone lit up with a call from Claire and he eagerly answered it. “Where are you? I’ve been calling Chloe. Did something…” He was suddenly cut off by a voice that didn’t belong to Claire. “Hello, this phone belongs to a woman involved in a car accident. Seeing that your contact is saved with ‘Brother-in-law’ I thought it was wise to return your call.” His pupils instantly dilated and he strutted quickly to the window, away from Honey’s earshot.. He pressed the phone against his ear rig heed and repeated in disbelief, “Accident? She was involved in an accident? What about the other woman in the car with her? Is she badly injured? In fact, tell me which hospital you are!” In
