Seeing that all of his men were rolling on the ground, crying loudly, Matt Peterson swallowed forcefully and took a step back in retreat.He was no idiot. Ethan had managed to subdue so many bar fighters without hurting a finger. If he, who had no knowledge about fighting, tried to challenge him, he'd be in a worse state than these men.Ethan watched his every move, then slipped his hands into his pocket and hooked his lips upward. "I asked you a question."Although he sounded calm, there seemed to be an underlying coldness in his voice that instantly made goosebumps appear on Matt's body."Matt Peterson, do you really not remember what you said just now? Shall I jog your memory just a little bit?" Ethan asked and raised his brows.Even though he didn't sound hostile, Matt found his words intimidating.After thinking of a million and one things he could do to get out of the bar alive, Matt suddenly flashed a bright smile at Ethan."Mr. Black, was it? What I said, regardless of how man
"Wh-what? Isn't that a little too much?" Matt Peterson outrightly refused. Ethan tilted his head to the side and raised a questioning brow, asking in a bland voice, "You can't do it?" Matt Peterson placed his trembling hands beside him and laughed nervously. "No, that's not what I'm trying to say. I'm just saying there's no need to go to such extents when we can easily resolve this with money." "You live with your wife's family, don't you? If I'm correct, the house you're all living in is shabby. Your clothes aren't very good and I bet you don't have a good car, that's if you have any to begin with.""Your wife lost her job the other day because of me, so she doesn't have a job at the moment. And you don't seem to have either. If you do, then I assure you I can find you a job with a better pay and condition."Ethan stared at him blankly the whole time. When he finished, he sighed lightly and took down the phone. "So you won't do it." Matt hurriedly waved his hands in front of him
Matt Peterson shamefully recounted everything he had done before Ethan saved the video and put away his phone. "Thank you for your cooperation. May we never meet again, but if we do and you see me first, run as fast as your legs can carry you. I'm merely managing to hold back from breaking your legs in two." Matt wanted to say something, but when his eyes met that of the bar fighter's standing beside Ethan, he swallowed back the words he was about to say. He got up and rushed out of the bar, leaving the bar fighters he had come with behind. They expected Ethan to say something to tell them, but instead, he just turned to Scott who was smiling proud at the turn of event. He wasn't saying anything, but everyone could hear him proudly shouting, "That's my son-in-law! That my amazing son-in-law!" "Father-in-law, do you have anywhere else to go to this afternoon?"Scott thought for a moment and shook his head. "Not at all. Just take me home. The sight of seeing me sober will surely i
“Is something wrong with your eyes? Can you not see well? Because it doesn’t look like you can! Do you know how much I got this pant? I had it specially flown in from abroad but it ends up being ruined by a server? Gosh, this is annoying!” “I’m sorry, sir. I’m really sorry, sir. It was not mh intention to spill the source on you. Please forgive me.” Chloe rushed out of thr elevator after being called by the server and her breath hitched worriedly when she saw a server standing beside a table with her eyes lowered to the floor apologetically. But that wasn’t what made her worried. What made her worried was the fact the voice of the man she heard sounded extremely familiar. It sounded too much like that of…“Lewis, don’t take it out on the poor server. If not for anything, but she isn’t the one at fault. We should blame the person in charge of training the servers for the mistake she made.” Chloe’s eyes shifted to the beautiful lady beside him who had spoken. She sat opposite Lewis
The server had heard Lewis introduce himself. So even though she agreed with Chloe that he is as indeed disrupting the peace of the other customers, she was hesitant to call the security. The William had somehow gotten the favor of Josiah Haworth of Astoria Corporation which made them become a first tier family in such a short time. They were the top family in Springdale at the moment which everyone wanted to cooperate with. She pursed he lips tightly and asked worriedly, "Ms. William, are you sure?" Lewis scoffed in disbelief, leaned backward and folded her arms around his chest. "Yes, are you sure? You do know I'm not the same person you knew some months ago. The person standing in front of you isn't the Lewis William who cowered in front of you." "The person standing in front of you is a member of the highly esteemed William family. Not just a mere member, but the one who'll helm it in the future." Chloe clenched her fist tightly, gulping down nervously. Sh"I know exactly w
"What is going on here? Ms. Chloe, what is going on here?" Chloe clenched her jaw tightly when she heard Ann's voice behind her. Ann walked past her and stopped a meter away from her. Lewis noticed she was dressed formally and like a staff of the hotel. He met her eyes and looked away whilst snorting heavily."Are you the supervisor around here? You need to keep these servers in check. I'm already doing the hotel a huge favour coming to pay and eat here. Do you know how many hotels have invited me to dine in their hotels for free? Gosh, this is annoying!"Ann's eyes quickly swept around his body as she took notice of the luxury goods he decked himself in. From the brand of his clothes down to his expensive shoes. "Don't be like that, sir. Pearl Hotel is glad to have you dine with us. I don't know what happened here, but we can't afford to lose such a valuable customer. Tell me what they did so I can take action."Lewis huffed haughtily, still looking away from her. He seemed disin
Ann went upstairs immediately Chloe had the security throw out Lewis and recounted what happened downstairs to the other staff, incessantly reminding them that the William family wasn't one to be trifled with.As a result, most of them panicked and stormed into Chloe's room when she came upstairs."How could you throw out Lewis William? Do you know how much influence the William family now have in Springdale?""Do you think the chairman would be pleased at how you turned a fast-rising family who would've been one of his customers into an enemy?""Wait, did you do that because you're cousins with Lewis William?""Cousins? Hmph! As if! Chloe William and her family have long been removed from the family registrar of the William family. They are no longer members of the William family!""There are rumors that Lewis William has a hand in why it happened. Could that be why she chose to humiliate him in front of so many people today?"Ann watched with folded hands and gleeful eyes as they la
In the evening when Ethan came to pick up Chloe, he noticed how absentminded she was.On their drive to the house, Honey excitedly tugged at the corners of her clothes.“Mommy, Honey learnt a lot at school today. The lesson teacher was very patient with us. I want to go to more lessons!”“Honey learnt so many things, do you want to hear some?”No response from Chloe.“Mommy? Do you hear me, Mommy?” Honey pouted childishly, seeing how silent Chloe was and tugged her clothes even harder.Chloe snapped out of her thoughts and lowered her eyes to her little girl who was looking up at her with glossy eyes.She feigned a smile and reached out to touch Honey’s hair.“Mommy is very tired and daddy is driving. We wouldn’t want to distract daddy from driving, do we? No. So tell me about what you learnt at lesson when we get back home, okay?”Honey was easily fooled by the false smile and nodded eagerly. She was silent for the rest of the ride.They soon got to the house and Ethan parked the Jes
