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

Ethan stopped somewhere on his way back to the house and called Josiah Haworth.The man arrived a few minutes later with another who immediately began working on the Ducati.It took him less than thirty minutes to cover the 'Ducati' written on the motorcycle and anything that'd make Chloe suspect Ethan bought it for an exorbitant price.As Ethan climbed the Ducati after the man was done with it, Josiah stepped forward and cautiously suggested, "I could've ordered you a better motorcycle and had it customized for you, President."Ethan plugged in the key in the keyhole and turned it without looking at him. "I could've told you about it, but it's taking you so long to fix my Koenigsegg Jesko. I can't wait for a year to get a motorcycle. You can't exactly blame me, can you?"Without another glance at Josiah, he revved the car engine and shot forward with it like a bolt of lightning.Josiah sucked in his teeth as he watched Ethan disappear out of sight. Then he turned around and whipped o

Ethan stared blankly at the unfamiliar woman for a long time before tearing his eyes away from her and ignoring her.The lady was wearing an elegant silk dress, transparent from her legs to her thighs.She wore little makeup, and Ethan thought she bore a slight resemblance to Chloe. However, he didn't pay much attention to it.Seeing the man ignore her, the lady inched closer to him and snapped her fingers in his face, chiding, "Hey, didn't you hear me call you? Or are you not only a loser but also deaf and dumb?"Ethan looked unbothered as he continued staring ahead, ignoring her pesky actions.She continued snapping her fingers in his face and yapping until eventually, she got tired and stopped.It was at this moment that two girls walked towards the lady and asked, "Violet, do you know this man?""Of course I do. This is my cousin's good-for-nothing husband!" Violet responded, and the thought of who she was finally seeped into Ethan's brain.Violet Brown. Chloe's maternal cousin. F

Ethan left the cleaning up of the Wellington family to his men while he boarded a plane and flew back to Springdale with his family.The mayor was waiting to welcome them once they arrived. Since they had just endured a hectic day, Ethan drove a tired Chloe and a sleeping Honey to one of his condos.After tucking them in, he left the room to the living room where the mayor was. “I kept my eyes on the William family like you asked. Lewis William has been unconscious ever since you left.”“Currently, every member of the family is gathered at the hospital he’s at. Would you like me to take you there, Commander Black?”Ethan scoffed lightly, “Since when did a mayor become my personal driver?”The man grimaced and lowered his eyes to the floor, “Even the President would become your driver if he could.”Ethan simply took the keys from him and left the house, instructing the him to remain with his family until he returned.Getting outside, he spent a few seconds familiarizing himself with h

Unable to use either of his arms, Declan curled into a ball, rolling around in pain as he lashed out bitterly.“You think the Wellington family will let this slide? I’m the head of this family! If anything happens to me, they’ll hold you accountable, you crazy punk!”Ethan turned, picked up another vase, and dropped it near Declan’s foot with a shrug.“You’ve done nothing but cause them panic. You’re so unstable with your decision-making that they fear you’ll drag the family into ruin just to fund one of your whims.”“In fact, I’m quite sure they’ll thank me for getting rid of you. Anyway, enough talk about them.”“Once I’m done crippling you, you’ll be reduced to nothing, bound to a wheelchair for the rest of your life.”“Hopefully, you’ll use what’s left of it to reflect on how you became a cripple. Now, hand me the other leg or would you prefer I do it roughly?”Declan blinked, clenching his jaw tightly against the raging pain in his arms. “No… you wouldn’t. You’re my brother. You

In an instant, Declan’s life flashed before his eyes. He reacted like any cornered man would by moving his hand.Unfortunately for him, Ethan anticipated it. He clamped down on his wrist and twisted it away from Chloe’s neck until she could safely slip out from underneath him.Once she was out of harm’s way, he threw caution to the wind and slammed his foot down on Declan’s hand, sending the dagger flying across the balcony.“You…” Declan stumbled back in horror, his eyes flickering between Ethan and his men.With his backup now useless, he knew he was no match for Ethan.So, without thinking twice, he turned and bolted.However…Snap!“Arghh!”Kane appeared out of nowhere, grabbed him by the arm, and twisted it.Snorting, he glared at Declan. “Your jaw’s moving too freely. If you don’t shut it this instant, I’ll break it.”Supporting his broken arm with the other, Declan gritted his teeth and looked ahead.With Kane now blocking his exit, he had to think fast.After a while, he clenc

Ethan glanced at the triplets. “Can you tell what will happen now?” The triplet on red was the first to speak up. “The helmsman isn’t reliable. If you take the deal, he will run and possibly take your daughter with him as insurance and kill her once he’s gotten to safety.” Ethan flashed him a tight smile. “Since when did you start thinking for me?” The triplet blinked in trepidation, quickly lowering his eyes to the ground. “Fo-forgive me, I didn’t get what your question was about.” Ethan glanced at the other two. “Can any of you tell what will happen once I accept Declan Wellington’s offer?” The triplet on black was silent while the one on green suddenly realized it, swallowing hard. “If he leaves, we won’t be of any use to you anymore. Then… you’ll have us dig our own graves.” Ethan nodded approvingly. “Excellent! I noticed you don’t talk too much. Your intelligence must be why. So since you know that now, what do you think should be my next move?” The triplet was hesi

The triplet on black began cackling almost immediately, his eyes darting to his siblings in disbelief. “This fella, isn’t he humorous? I don’t remember the last time I laughed this hard.” His brothers hummed in agreement, crossing their arms across their chest. “Young man, you should’ve pursued a career in comedy and stayed far away from trouble. Big shame that the world will miss a talent like you.” Ethan covered his mouth and yawned. “What is this? Don’t you three know how to do anything else besides talking and more talking? Not everyone has a lot of free time on their hands.” “I, for example, cherish my time more than anything as I’d rather spend it with my family than people like you.” The triplets stared at him in amusement. “I hope your last memory of them was a memorable one then, because today, this is where you’ll be dying.” “Before we kill you, I’ll tell you the truth. Whoever taught you didn’t teach you well. Just identifying the weakness of your enemies isn’t en

Charles, Chris and Penelope froze. Kane sat up inside the crane, his eyes pinned on the elderly man with a white goatee laughing behind Ethan. “You’re already so old, when will you stop running like that?” “Let him do as he likes. He only has a few years to continue moving that fast. Might as well make the best use of it now.” Everyone turned their eyes towards the direction of the second and third voices. Ethan furrowed his brows when he saw them. Triplets? All three og them had the same shiny head and trimmed their beards into a goatee, making it impossible to distinguish who was who. The only difference between them was the color of shirts they had on which ranged from blue, red and black. The triplet who had attacked Ethan had on a black shirt and was still cackling underneath his breath. The other two stood beside him and glanced up at Declan on the balcony. As soon as he saw them, his tense shoulders relaxed and so did his grip on the blade. “You asked for us, master

As soon as his words fell, some figures darted through the men and in an instant, they were all swept off their feet. Declan didn’t see this. When he waited for several seconds and didn’t see Ethan’s body riddled with dozens of bullets, his eyes darkened and he looked down at them again, ready to lash out, but saw them all on the ground, groaning and clutching onto their stomach in pain. “Wh-what do you think you’re doing? I didn’t say to roll all over the floor, I said to waste him, you dumb fools!” However, the men were in too much pain to care about his words. Charles, Penelope and Chris took their time to kick the guns away from their reach.As Penelope walked towards a bulky man whose gun was lying at his foot, he suddenly stretched his left hand to grab her by the neck, but she caught it, slammed her foot against his chest and twisted his arm, completely destroying his rotator cuff. Cold sweat instantly formed on his forehead as a painful shriek erupted from his lung. A t

“Who’s this brazen punk?” “If he’s so bold, why’s he hiding up there?” The men murmured amongst themselves as they stepped backward. Butler Ambrose glanced at the crane. The distance between him and it made it impossible to see the face of the man sitting inside. But he didn’t need to think too hard to know who it was. From what he had seen in the past few months, only one person would dare to make such a bold entrance. “Take out your weapons. Once Mr. Wellington gives the order, waste him!” He raised his voice and ordered his men, eyes still pinned on the moving crane. The men obliged, taking out their guns and aiming it at the machine. However, Kane merely paid a blind eye to them and went ahead to uproot the gate. Instead of driving into the vicinity, he remained at the gate and elongated the crane towards them, swinging it right and left at the men. He did this until the aim of every one of them was to get to safety. Taking advantage of this chaos, three figures stealthi
Chapter 267
In the Wellington family residenceButler Ambrose led a cautious and haggard looking Chloe to the balcony where there were chairs and table arranged in a romantic manner. Leaning back on one of the chairs, Declan Wellington had one leg crossed on the other, sipping his wine with a satisfied smile. Hearing footsteps, he raised his eyes to see who it was. The second his eyes settled on her face, his cheeks stretched into a wide smile. “Chloe, you’re here!” Chloe clenched her fists tightly beside her, her eyes falling on the dozens of men crawling around the compound. Declan instantly followed her gaze.Sensing her worries, the man leaned forward to assure her, “You don’t have to worry about them. I’ll make sure they don’t hurt you. The only reason they’re here is to make sure no harm comes to me.” Chloe turned her eyes to him, instantly realizing the kind of person she was standing in front of him. Because she was born into a power hungry family, she spent her life with people fr
