Charles' voice was loud and clear, so it of course attracted the attention of others in the restaurant. “Excuse me?” Meridith didn't stop touching the teddy. “Take your filthy hands off it before I do it for you!” He thundered, his dark eyes fixated on her. His dark eyes scared her and she didn't know when she took her hands off the teddy. She realized what she did and snuggled closer to Julius looking wronged. Julius, on the other hand, had begun panicking thinking it was the real owner of the gifts. However, when his eyes settled on Charles' cheap clothes, he sneered. “Did you just raise your voice at my fiancée? I see you're tired of leaving!” Charles’ cold eyes shifted to him. “You're the one who's tired of living!” “What a moron. My fiancé got me these gifts. But even if the gift was a mistake, it'd never belong to someone like you. Why have poor people refused to see the gap between the rich and the poor? Why do you think it's possible for you to fill up that gap? Now, let

"Charles Wilkins? Mr. Cullins, it appears you've mistaken. I'm meeting Charles Wilkins in a few minutes, so if he was here already, I'd know,” Julius snorted out a laugh.If Mark Cullins hadn't verified Charles’ identity before he made his way to the restaurant, he would've fallen for Julius’ words and gravely offended the Wilkins family.His eyes darkened at that realization, and he glared at Julius. “Do I look like a fool to you?”Julius rushed to Mark's side and in self-righteous indignation, pointed at Ethan, Chloe, and Charles.“Of course not, Mr. Cullins! I'm merely stating you're mistaken because of what I know. Not a lot of people have met Charles Wilkins, so I don't blame you for not knowing what he looks like.”“But I'm telling you, that person right there pretending to be Charles Wilkins is a sham these two hired to fool you and embarrass my fiancée and me!”“Yes, Mr. Cullins, don't be fooled by them. Ever since your company delivered my gifts, these people have done nothin

"It really does say it belongs to Charles Wilkins," Meredith murmured in disbelief as she moved her eyes closer to the receipt.Julius’ face turned pale, and he was suddenly speechless. Indeed, the name on the receipt was Charles Wilkins. But he refused to believe Charles Wilkins was the wastrel beside Ethan Black!Julius would never believe he was seeing the real Charles Wilkins, even though the manager of Loft Deliveries insisted on it.“I heard Charles Wilkins isn't exactly friendly to those who impersonate him. I wonder what he'd do to you once he finds out you claimed his gifts worth 4.7 billion dollars as yours,” Ethan said the exact words on everyone's mind.The ones who had praised Julius just some minutes ago were now rethinking their words. Although they'd rather not believe it, what if this man was really Charles Wilkins, as he said?They subconsciously stepped backward, recalling all the bad words they had said to him and the names they had called him.Meredith yelled at E

“Isn’t that Lewis?” Chloe asked in disbelief, seeing Lewis rush towards them with a club. “I knew he still does unreasonable things, but I never thought he'd still have people like these as his friends. Let's go quickly. We can't afford to offend any of the families those people come from.” Ethan turned around and said gently. “That reminds me, go home first, I have something to do, but I'll join you in an hour or two.” “No, I know you think you can take them. You can, but their families isn't like the Kendrick family. They are wealthier, more influential and even more ruthless. Lewis hates you, so he'll egg them on.” Chloe swallowed and grabbed his arm. “Let's go home, daddy.” Tears welled up in Honey's eyes. She was a kid, but there were situations she could decipher even without being told what was happening. And this was one of them. Chloe hugged her closer to herself as she continued looking up at Ethan. “I will be fine.” Ethan insisted. “Is it because of Charles Wilkins?

Hearing him, Lewis recalled what Ethan had done to him and he thanked Jethro again, “In that case, the William family will repay Mr. Reese with whatever thing he asks of once this is over.”Ethan briefly glanced at the men rushing towards him before slipping out his ringing phone.“Is this Mr. Black?” A man asked as soon as Ethan answered.“Yes.”“Oh, this is Josiah Haworth, the manager of the company you bought. I'm calling to ask if you have any orders for me.” “A moment.” Ethan took the phone down from his ear and grabbed the stick which one of the five people rushing towards him was wielding. Then he unhurriedly used it to whip all five of them at the same place; the back of their necks.Three of them fell to the ground and couldn't get up again, but two of them persisted. They were the two people Jethro Reese had his faith in.When Lewis saw they hadn't fallen like the others, he grew bolder and sneered at Ethan.“Despite everything you've done, the William family has done noth

The man hired by the Reese family was dumbfounded. This was his first time meeting someone who was willing to walk straight to his death. He stared at Ethan like he was looking at a fool for some seconds before agreed with a nod of his head. “Of course I'll take you to the Reese family house!” “Mr. Black, we meet again.” A familiar voice which sounded elated came up behind Ethan. Ethan recognized the voice and tilted his head towards it to see a tall and man standing behind him. Daniel Voltia, the man who had sworn his loyalty to Ethan at the Kendrick family house. Ethan hadn't moved the whole time because he was worried Chloe would see the man he killed. So he remained in the same position thinking of how to hide it from her view. But now, he realized Daniel Voltia was blocking her view. Unless she came out of the car and walked towards him, it was impossible for her to see what was going on in front of him. “Do you know who the Reese family is?” Ethan asked, dropping the limp

"Grandpa! Grandpa!" Lewis yelled as he rushed into the William family residence.Adam William, who was standing on the balcony inside the house, was immediately displeased."What are you shouting for?""Grandpa!" Lewis swallowed, looking towards the balcony. "I just saw that good-for-nothing kill someone."Adam frowned. "Good-for-nothing?""That loser, Ethan Black, who's sponging off us!" Lewis nodded.Adam immediately lost interest in what his grandson had to say."I've told you not to be bothered by someone like him. The William family will take care of him at a later date... wait, he killed someone?" He changed his words when Lewis' words registered."Yes, grandpa! I saw it with my own eyes. I-I was with Jethro Reese just some minutes ago. He was disrespected by that loser, so he took some people with him to teach him a lesson. He even had people who were in the army before with him. I thought we'd finally be able to put an end to that rascal, only to see him impale one of the men

A man suddenly got up from the ground and rushed towards Daniel with an iron rod, but he saw him coming and dodged to the side.The man lunged back at him again with full speed, and he kicked out the iron rod from his hand before slamming his foot at his thigh. The man screamed in pain and fell to the ground clutching his broken leg.Daniel wiped off an invisible dirt from his sleeves and looked up at the three people in front of him.“So weak. If this is all the Reese family has to their name, I wonder why they are so proud. You must be Hermes Reese, the infamous helmsman of the Reese family,” he said as his eyes settled on the most serious-looking of them.Reese pushed up his glasses and pressed his lips together in a tight frown.“Who's this rude bastard?” He didn't even look at Daniel as he spoke.“I have no clue, but if he was able to take down all of our men guarding the house, then he's no ordinary person,” the family member replied.“He said something about the live-in son-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
