That was when it suddenly dawned on Edward. This man in the office wasn’t just a nobody. For the second time today, he had judged someone wrongly. He didn’t know exactly what Ethan’s identity was, but to have someone from the minister of finance treat him with so much respect, he was definitely not someone he should’ve spoke so rudely to a few minutes ago. Sensing he had cornered himself, he screamed out defensively, “Everything I did, I did for the bank!” Ethan chuckled and turned around to look at him. “Does that include the 300 million you embezzled every year?” “Wh-what? How do you know that?” Edward shuddered in disbelief, the hairs on the back of his neck standing on its end. The 300 million he embezzled every year was something he did so carefully. He was so careful that he was able to get away with it every year even when an extensive investigation was done by the bank. He didn’t even leave a receipt behind that could trace the transaction back to him. This man, just

Matilda didn’t say a world throughout their drive back to the house. Even when she alighted from the car and walked past a concerned Chloe, she still didn’t bother to say anything. Chloe’s eyes followed her until she disappeared into a a corridor upstairs. Then she turned to Ethan in confusion. “Did something happen to my mother? She looks traumatized.” The man slipped his hands into his pockets and lied through his teeth with a straight face. “I think she was having tea with her friends and had a fight with them over something . She was really upset when she called me to come pick her up.”“Oh,” Chloe mummed and no longer said anything. But after a moment, Ethan suddenly felt someone’s piercing gaze on him and lowered his eyes to find her staring up at him attentively. Fearing she had seen through him, he faked a cough and covered his mouth with his left hand. Then asked in a muffled voice, “Did I do something wrong? Did you send me a message to get you something on my way ba

“Vivian Martell?” Chloe smacked her lips together thoughtfully, finding the name awfully familiar. Claire nodded. “Yes. Do you happen to know anyone by that name?” After racking her brain for several seconds, Chloe shook her head in refusal. “I don’t remember, but I think I’ve heard about her.” “You must’ve. I hear the Martell family are wealthy. They are way above the first tier families we have here in Springdale. It doesn’t surprise me she was able to pay that much to hire a model.” “Either way, congratulations, sister. Just be sure not to treat me out to expensive places like this or your 150 million will disappear in the blink of an eye.”“Too late, I already reserved another spot at Milan Restaurant.” “Milan restaurant? I’ve heard about them. Tsk! It’s really difficult to resist. Fine, let’s eat there.” “The old you would’ve asked me to cancel reservation and save the money. What has happened to my sister?”“After depriving myself of things for 28 years, I’ve come to the

“Ladies, mind if I take a seat?” Chloe and Claire turned their heads to look at the owner of the voice. Chloe didn’t take a careful look at him like Claire did, so she didn’t recognize him. However, Claire did and immediately frowned hard when she saw him. She returned her attention to Chloe and shook her head in refusal. “Sorry, there are only two seats here and they’re already occupied by my sister and I.” The man calmly waved her aside and beckoned onto a waiter to bring him a seat. “That is no problem. I can always have them bring me a seat. Sitting across from you is something I’ve been fantasizing about ever since I saw you walk in here.” He paused and stepped closer to the table with a small smile plastered across his face. “You may not know, but my father is a diamond member here. As his son, I’m naturally given the same treatment as him.” “In fact, you can order whatever it is you want and I’ll take care of it. Damsels like you shouldn’t pay when someone like me is

“He seems to be telling the truth. Paying to meet up with her isn’t such a bad thing.”“If news gets out that someone who dines with her is in this restaurant, imagine how flooded this entire place will be.”“This is a rare opportunity. Don’t let the thought that this is a scam even after seeing that he has her number her stop you from meeting such a bigshot!” Chloe didn’t need to glance towards the direction of the person probing everyone to know it was Miles Walker’s partner. His words seemed to get to them as they whispered to each other incoherently for a moment. Indeed, just like he said, most of them were a little suspicious of Miles ans and didn’t want to pay him to help them. But after hearing the man, they gave it some thought and eventually came to the same conclusion. Chloe William was a bigshot who liked to keep to herself. Not many people knew what she looked like and there was no single photo of her online as she tried her best to stay away from the spotlight. If t

Everyone turned their heads to her direction, suddenly realizing such a beautiful woman was in their midst. Because they were all so focused on Miles, they failed to notice the people sitting with him. Miles obviously didn’t take her seriously and snorted loudly. “You’re who? What is a beautiful woman like you doing lying? Or do you think you can assume her identity simply because the public doesn’t know what she looks like?” Seeing that the person who claimed to have dined with her numerous times in the past was refuting Chloe, the group of wealthy people immediately stared at her with disdain. “You have such a pretty face but you actually dare to tell a lie like this? It’s true what they say about insanely pretty people having the worst attitudes!” “You can say something like this where there is no one who has seen her before. But you actually dare to say something like this in front of a close friend of hers? Can you be any more shameless?”Seeing they were attacking her and

But the feeling was gone a few seconds later and she swallowed down hard before reaching to pour herself another glass of champagne. At the same time, her belly rumbled loudly and she glanced at the food in front of her a strangely. In the midst of the heated argument between Miles and Claire, Chloe covered her nose with her hands and rang the bell for a waiter.“Excuse me, I think there’s something rotten in this food.” “I thought it was just a light smell that would pass after a few minutes, but it’s been lingering around the food until now.” Everyone glanced at her in surprise. Didn’t she just say she was Chloe William? Why was she suddenly talking about food when she was supposed to join her sister in talking back to this man? Chloe was oblivious to their thoughts and just stared at the waiter keenly as he lowered his nose to smell the food. He raised his head after three seconds and shook his head in refusal. “Rotten? Our restaurant takes extreme care of what we use to ma

Because Chloe refused to explain why she wanted to go to the hospital, Claire drove around for a hospital, but only saw a pharmacy. Left with no choice, Chloe settled for it and bought a home pregnancy test. She disappeared into the restroom and spent a few minutes before walking out with the pregnancy stick. After staring at it for several seconds, she heaved a silent sigh of relief and dropped it in the sink. “It’s just one faint line. Seems I was right about the rotten smell from the food earlier.” Then she moved to another sink to wash her hands while Claire picked up the test stick and chuckled, “It’s not. It’s not one faint line. It’s two obvious red lines.” “I told you it must be something they put in the food. How can…what did you say? Two obvious lines?” Chloe was saying when Claire’s words suddenly made sense to her. She turned to snatch the pregnancy stick from Claire and stared at in disbelief. Claire wasn’t lying. There really were two obvious red lines on it. In

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
