Samantha stared at Ethan, shock evident in her expression.

"W..what are you talking about? You own this place?" she stuttered in disbelief. He didn't take his gaze away from Drew. Drew could tell he wasn't bluffing by the serious look on his face.

"Right away sir," Drew responded without any form of query. Samantha's face paled instantly. The shock on her face was palpable, her confidence going down the drain. Ethan caught sight of her hands trembling in fear.

"You heard Mr. White. Your services are no longer needed," Drew said to her firmly. Her knees wobbled and she fell to the floor.

She gazed at Ethan desperately. "Ethan, I had no idea you owned this place. Forgive me for all I said. I wasn't in my right senses," she pleaded. Her apology didn't sound sincere to him.

Cassie's parents, who had previously blamed him and accused him of leading Cassie towards unfathomable actions, suddenly shifted their perspective and expressed pride in her.“Mom! You flatter too much, I hadn’t believed in myself either, but it was all thanks to Ethan, he pushed me when I didn’t believe in myself and he was there to support me throughout” Cassie replied to her mom.Moving deeper into the room, Ethan closed the distance between himself and Cassie, as well as her parents. Startled, they finally became aware of his presence. Lilian, Cassie's mother, greeted him with an uncharacteristically upbeat to

    "You should be ashamed to call her your wife when you cannot offer her anything," Mason said and the room became quiet the air getting dense.An expression of disbelief crossed his face, causing his eyebrows to arch in a questioning manner. He stared directly at Ethan, silently daring him to utter a single word. In response, Ethan tightly balled his hand into a fist, exerting immense pressure that threatened to break the delicate skin and draw blood.Desperately trying to conceal the waves of anger surging within him, he strategically folded his hands behind his back, masking his true emotions from prying eyes.“What’s wrong with you Mason, please leave! I can’t have you come over to my house and insult my husband, that’s enough!”Cassie yelled angrily, she moved forward to face Mason but her mother held her back.“Let me go, mom!

Are you that offended your husband let you go easily like the coward he is” Mason said and Cassie shot him a look.“I have told you several times not to talk about Ethan in that manner, if not just stop the car and I will gladly come down, I can go to the venue with a cab” Cassie retorted, fisting her hand angrily. The night wasn’t going the way she had planned, and everything was on her nerves.“Stop being stiff Cassie, I don’t know why you get so angry when someone spills the truth about Ethan, you know deep down every word said against him is the truth” Mason stated and Cassie flared at her, at this point she was tired and regretted ge

She felt out of place amidst the lively crowd, her delicate balance between intoxication and emotion threatening to collapse. The sound of laughter and merriment echoed in her ears, a stark contrast to the turmoil within her.Desperately needing something sturdy to hold on to, Cassie reached out her trembling hand and gripped the nearby wall. The coolness of the surface offered a brief respite, grounding her in the midst of the chaotic scene. Her head spun with a mixture of alcohol and emotions, the intoxicating effects and the weight of her current situation vying for control.“Fuck!” she muttered as she tried to stable her stance.“Why is everything going against me today!” she muttered as she squeezed her eyes shut.Arnold watched her from a distance, a smirk dancing on his face.

    Mason stares incredulously at Ethan and suddenly bursts into laughter. “Do you think I am a fool and I will believe that stupid drama you just displayed?” Mason asked and Ethan placed his both hands in his pocket, staring at Mason with a neutral expression.“There is no way you are the renowned Mr. White because he is very anonymous, no one knows him, and definitely you can’t be him. Are you trying to tell me you are the same Mr. White that is attending this banquet tonight?” He asked and laughed hysterically, he couldn’t believe Ethan could pull out such a stupid prank on him.He suddenly collides his hands together, clapping as he laughs. “That was a good performance right there” he mocked and Ethan didn’t say a word, he only stared at him like a lunatic. “Whoever you paid to have that call with must have been a good actress, you both tried, but I am not a foolish man and that stupid call is not enough to convince me,” Mason said and Ethan let out a long breath.“Do you think you ca
