"Butler, can you escort me to the monitor room?" Ethan stood on the last step of the stairs, staring at the butler, who had his back to him, busy giving instructions to the servants to finish their work.Suddenly, the thin man wearing a special black uniform turned his head.As soon as he knew that it was Ethan calling him, he immediately approached and bowed briefly. "Do you need anything, Young Master?""Can you escort me to the monitor room? I just realized that since coming here, I wasn't informed of its location," Ethan replied seriously."Perhaps the Great Master forgot about it," the butler replied with a simple smile."If you want to go there, I can take you there. Please follow me, Young Master!" Then, the butler tilted his body with one outstretched hand. When Ethan nodded, he then walked towards the interior of the mansion."I've been here for two months, you can take it easy. It would be nice if I had a friend here," Ethan said, breaking the silence between them."It's an
"Why are there only them?" Ethan stared at the monitor intently, then switched to another monitor. "Is there still a room that hasn't appeared yet?""Just a moment, Young Master." The officer returned to his keyboard, and soon, a recording image appeared on the far monitor. "Everything is complete."Ethan stared at the monitors individually and stopped at the far end. "They have their own business," he muttered with a lopsided smile.In Great Mistress Celeste's den, Madame Bernita looked at her mother-in-law with teary eyes. "All my life, I have always been devoted to you and considered you as my mother. But why do you have the heart to treat me like this?""Hah! Since you think of me as a mother, I will teach you properly. One blow is not enough to make you realize what you have done!" shouted Great Mistress Celeste, who raised her hand to give Madam Bernita a second slap, making the woman spontaneously dodge and fall, holding Great Mistress Celeste's left hand."I know I was wrong.
Mrs. Bernita gritted her teeth with her hands clenched into fists.Passers-by turned their heads openly, and some even stopped to whisper to each other."Mrs. Celeste!""What?" Mrs. Bernita snapped in a restrained tone as she turned around, staring at Joshua with eyes bulging with anger.However, a moment later, she was puzzled as the young man handed her a medium-sized box, making her inevitably hold it."Those are the leftover belongings of the old manager. She was hard to contact and never came here, so I'm handing it over to you. Please give it to her," said Joshua, who then bowed briefly and walked away without waiting for a response from Mrs. Bernita.Of course, this made Mrs. Bernita even angrier. But she couldn't vent because it would attract more attention from the crowd. Hence, she could only stare at Joshua's back vengefully and then leave in a hurry."Is she really Mrs. Celeste?""It should be like that. Didn't that man call her that earlier?""It seems like the Celeste fa
Ethan turned around and came face-to-face with the man who was his client. Then he turned his body and tried to be friendly. "Mr. Leif, may I know the reason other than your wife not liking it?""There is no other reason. Why? You don't agree? If so, just cancel the project," said the man named Leif."It's not that I don't agree, but from the very beginning, we've been discussing this until we've reached an agreement. When my secretary contacted you, you didn't complain about anything either. I just want to know, why so suddenly?" Ethan explained while glancing at Hazel, asking her to join him because when discussing this project, Hazel was the one doing it. Meanwhile, he had not yet joined Zenith Corp.Hazel, who was very professional in her work, immediately understood.She stepped forward to Ethan's level and said, "Mr. Leif, just tell us the truth. We always prioritize client satisfaction. So if you can work well together, then you will get maximum results.""Yikes! I've been sayi
"Sir, do you know something?" asked Hazel, looking back and giving Ethan a curious look.From the first time he heard that Mr. Leif wanted to change the color of the walls in the main room, it felt odd. Maybe for some people, this was normal. Everyone must have been in a dilemma in deciding something.But Mr. Leif was not that kind of person. He didn't even have the slightest bad track record. The company he runs runs smoothly and cleanly. Although not a big company, he was honest and reliable. What's more, he loved his wife very much.When he saw the recording of the discussion that Hazel, Mr. Leif, and his wife had attended, the man did not seem to hesitate in the slightest to leave the selection of the decorations and everything to his wife, who was so enthusiastic and impatient.Under such circumstances, he was unlikely to suddenly change the wall paint color when he was looking forward to occupying the house.If it weren't for someone pressuring him into using his much-loved wife
"What?" Ethan turned his head in surprise after Hazel pulled away and nodded slowly. "Has it been confirmed that it's the car?""Yes, sir. I don't know what happened, but the location is far from the crowd. It's possible that people in the neighbourhood wouldn't even know that a car had sunk there," Hazel explained.Ethan's heart skipped a beat. He felt panicked but also unexpected. Everything had happened so quickly. It hadn't even been an hour since Mr Leif left after throwing a tantrum, but now... if the reporters found out about this, it would have a very bad impact on the company's image. Besides, how is Mr. Leif doing? Why would he be there?As a series of questions floated in Ethan's mind, Mr. Oscar, who realised that there was an important problem, said, "Mr. Ethan, if there is really something to be done, just go. After all, the survey is almost complete, I will discuss it with the contractor and then send it to Miss Hazel's email."Instantly, Ethan's reverie was broken. He l
In the office, Ethan was focused on the CCTV footage that he had previously asked Hazel to get. He repeated it several times just to see it more clearly.In the footage, Mr Leif's car was travelling at a moderate speed. After leaving the Aurora Housing Estate, the car joined the other vehicles, and nothing unusual was seen.However, when it reached the intersection, the car made a turn, and the road was the one leading to the river he had come from earlier.The more the car travelled, the more Ethan focused with a sharpened gaze.Not long after, the car stopped at the small road that led to the river."So he did come there," muttered Ethan, who unconsciously clenched his hands into fists, feeling nervous about what Mr. Leif would do next.However, until a few minutes later, there was no movement whatsoever. Not even Mr Leif was seen leaving his car.Ethan's brow began to crease faintly. Just as he was about to rewind the recording duration to get a better look, a black luxury car came
"What do you mean?" asked Great Mistress Celeste, annoyed by his arrival.But Great Master Celeste did not answer and instead walked over to Madame Bernita only to take over the iPad she was holding and fiddled with it for a while and placed it on the table.Great Mistress Celeste and Madame Bernita spontaneously moved their bodies forward to take a closer look. It turned out to be a live feed from Daran on one of the social media sites.Daran was showing a sad side and talking about his miserable life with his mother. Of course, by pulling Ethan's name and revealing his identity as his younger brother while protesting his indifference.The audience, which had only numbered hundreds, immediately jumped to hundreds of thousands. Many people flocked to see the live broadcast after some netizens shared screenshots with attention-grabbing titles.Ethan, who has been in the spotlight since the revelation of his identity as the CEO of Zenith Corp, is now being talked about even more.
