The System of Power is Money Chapter 156
Currently, Ethan and Leona are in a car together. They both plan to meet Leo, who suddenly invited them for lunch.Leona, sitting next to Ethan, occasionally glances at the man who is focused on driving. For some reason, there's something about Ethan that makes Leona feel curious."Ahem!"Leona's throat-clearing makes Ethan turn briefly towards her, then refocus his gaze forward. "I'm sorry I didn't know you were Mr. Leo's niece," Ethan says, starting a conversation between them.Leona feels pleased when she hears the question coming from Ethan's mouth. It turns out she managed to make the man open up with just a simple throat-clear."It's no problem, Mr. Ethan. I also didn't know you were a distant relative of Uncle Leo," says Leona, immediately adjusting her sitting position, looking at Ethan who is still focusing his gaze forward.Ethan frowns, a bit surprised when Leona says he's Leo's distant relative. He had just met Leo and they clearly weren't related."Did Mr. Leo say I was h

Crittt...A car almost crashed into a tree if the person at the wheel didn't immediately hit the brakes. Just a few centimeters short, the car's body would have hit the trunk of such a large tree.Inside the car, Leona, who almost dropped her head on the dashboard, screamed in shock. Luckily, she was wearing a car seat belt, so her head didn't actually hit."Mr. Ethan! What are you doing?" Leona stared at Ethan with her heart still pounding. It felt like her heart was going to burst when the car was suddenly about to hit the tree in front of there.Expressionlessly Ethan turned to Leona, the man shook his head weakly, "Sorry, Leona, I didn't mean to."Leona just sighed, there was only one life, and it was lucky that it didn't escape from her body or she would have died at a young age. "It's okay, Mr. Ethan, be more careful next time."Ethan just nodded. He now turned his gaze to the large tree in front of him. Actually, this did not happen for no reason. Ethan, who had been surprised

"What do you think... what about, Leona, Mr. Ethan?"Ethan, who had just placed the cup of coffee on the table, turned his gaze towards Leo. Currently the two of them were on the balcony chatting.After returning from the office earlier, Leo suddenly called him. He invited her to have a cup of coffee and relax while chatting for a while. As a result, here they were now, on the balcony where there were only the two of them.Ethan frowned, feeling confused by the question Leo had just asked. "What do you mean, Mr. Leo?" asked Ethan back, he then pulled one of the chairs opposite Leo and began to sit on it.Leo didn't immediately answer Ethan's question, the man turned his attention to look down, where several cars were passing below.Seeing that Ethan was just silent, just waiting for the answer that Leo would give in a moment. "Have a drink, Mr. Leo," Ethan said, breaking Leo's reverie for a few moments.Leo turned his head, nodded and reached for Ethan's cup of coffee. "Thank you, Mr.

Citra, who had just come out of the bathroom, was startled by the presence of a man now sitting on her bed. "Martin, what are you doing here?" Citra quickly adjusted the position of the towel clinging to her body. She felt very uncomfortable when Martin entered her room without her permission.Martin flashed a smile, turning his gaze towards Citra who was visibly adjusting her towel. The smile on Martin's face couldn't be hidden as he saw Citra's expression. "What's the problem, Citra? Aren't I free to enter your room?"Martin got up from his seat, walked closer to Citra, and now stood right in front of the woman. "I'm your fiancé, do I need permission to come in here?" Martin winked, looking at Citra with a satisfied gaze.Citra held her towel even tighter. Martin's words just now were really testing her patience. "Remember, Martin! We're only engaged, don't cross the line," said Citra, glaring at Martin.Martin pulled the corner of his mouth up, belittling the words that had just co

Mrs. Merry immediately pulled Citra away from Martin. What Citra had just said could no longer be tolerated."Follow Mommy now," said Mrs. Merry with an unfriendly look on her face.Citra just gave in when her hand was pulled away. She could already guess what her mother was going to say."What's wrong, Mommy?" protested Citra as they were now in another room. It could be seen that Citra's expression was now annoyed, the woman would always be annoyed with someone who was not in the same league as her.Mrs. Merry released her grip on Citra's hand. "What did you just say, Citra? You've gone too far! How could you not have any manners ha?!"Citra sighed, holding her sore wrist for the second time caused by two different people. "What did Citra say, Mom? Isn't that a fact? Martin is more suited to marry Mommy than..._Plak!Before Citra could finish her sentence, a slap landed unceremoniously on her white cheek. Citra was instantly shocked, holding one of her cheeks that felt hot from Mer

Martin drove his car to a place surrounded by dense trees on both sides, dimly lit only by street lamps. Citra looked out the window with a furrowed brow, feeling confused about their destination.She had never been to this place before, and the atmosphere around them felt strange. Nevertheless, there were several parked cars and some couples entering the area."What is this?" Citra finally asked, turning to Martin who sat in the driver's seat. "Why did you bring me here?" she asked again when she got no answer from Martin.Martin just grinned as he parked his car in a somewhat hidden corner. After turning off the engine, he turned to Citra and replied, "This is a place where people can forget their problems for a while, enjoy togetherness without interruption."Citra looked at Martin in disbelief. "You brought me to a place like this? Are you crazy?" Citra glared at Martin, unable to believe that he had brought her to such a place. He had clearly said he would introduce her to his fr

Martin led Citra to a dark corner of the room, where two men were sitting around a table. They all stared at Martin and Citra with smiles on their faces, seemingly pleased with Martin's arrival with Citra by his side.Martin then stopped right in front of them and placed his hand on Citra's shoulder. A smile adorned his face."Friends, let me introduce you to Citra, my fiancée," Martin said proudly, glancing briefly at Citra before turning back to his three friends.Citra didn't respond; there was no expression on her face to indicate she was happy to be introduced as a fiancée. In fact, Citra felt disgusted hearing Martin introduce her as his fiancée. If not for the threat of Amel's video, Citra might have flatly refused to be engaged to Martin. From the beginning, she never had any hope of having a relationship with a bastard like Martin.Martin slightly tightened his grip on Citra's shoulder, signaling her to smile in front of his friends.Reluctantly, Citra tried to smile, playing

"It's been more than an hour since I've been unable to reach Citra. Where is she?"Ethan, holding his phone, frowned as several calls went unanswered. He sighed, feeling confused about why Citra wasn't picking up his calls."Did I make a mistake?" Ethan tried to recall their last interaction, and as far as he remembered, he hadn't done anything wrong, nor had she."Oh well, maybe Citra's just busy," Ethan sighed as he put his phone down on the bed.Just as Ethan was about to head to the bathroom, his phone suddenly rang. Thinking it might be Citra, Ethan quickly grabbed his phone with a smile and answered the call without checking the name on the screen."Hello, Citra, why haven't you been answering my calls? Are you busy?" Ethan immediately fired off several questions.However, it wasn't Citra's voice he heard, but another woman's, which made Ethan frown. He quickly pulled the phone away from his ear and looked at the name on the screen. He let out a sigh when he realized who was cal

As promised to the woman, Ethan decided to go to Citra's house and talk to her parents.His hand, which was already holding several plastic bags filled with fruits, was immediately taken over by a household assistant when the man arrived at Citra's house. Citra, who was at the top of the stairs, immediately descended it, smiling when she saw that he was already at her house. This was something she had been waiting for, she was really happy that the person she loved would express his desire to marry her to her parents. "Your parents are there, right Citra?" Asked Etha after the two of them decided to sit on a fairly soft sofa in the living room.Citra wanted to answer, but suddenly from the other direction came the voice of Citra's father. "We're here, Ethan." Ethan turned his head towards our parents who were currently walking towards the two of them and decided to sit on the opposite sofa. Suddenly, the man's heart was unsafe in the presence of Citra's parents, as if he really fel

After their romantic dinner, Ethan drove slowly towards Citra's house. But before he actually left he turned to Amel who was still on the terrace of the restaurant. "Come on Amel, let's go home together," said Ethan who couldn't possibly leave his sister alone at the restaurant.Amel smiled, of course she couldn't possibly interfere with the two of them being together. She then shook her head and said, "Don't worry, Ethan, I'll go with lecturer Malik. In a few minutes he will come to pick me up."Hearing the words from Amel made Ethan nod his head, he then decided to get into Citra's car, considering that Citra brought a car and there was no way if he let her drive alone. He then got into the car after making sure Citra was in the car. He then began to drive the car through the crowded city. While driving, Ethan occasionally turned his head towards Citra, feeling happy that she had accepted his feelings. Even though he had felt that she would not accept his feelings, especially sin
Chapter 302
For a long time Ethan waited for Citra's arrival who had yet to show her nose. He really felt worried if she didn't come to see him in the end. Even though he had tried to give his best to her. If she didn't come, what about her? Will he continue to wait like this and not express his feelings? Of course that can't happen. He had to keep expressing his feelings to her and hope that she would come soon and accept his feelings.Amel, who had been beside the man all along, of course knew what the man was worried about. It had been more than 10 minutes since the woman he was waiting for had shown her nose, and he was also afraid that she wouldn't come in the end. But Amel thought that the woman would definitely come, considering that she seemed so worried about her brother's condition and always tried to get close to him. But why she hadn't shown up yet made her feel worried."Why hasn't Citra come yet?" Amel muttered to herself. Her gaze continued to settle on the door of the restaurant,
Chapter 301
Tonight as planned, Ethan and Amel went to a restaurant that the man had booked in advance. Of course, this is because he wants to express his feelings to someone so special. That someone, of course, was none other than Citra. Tonight, he was going to express those feelings to her. He had been harboring his feelings for a long time, and it was time for him to express them. He didn't want her to leave him and choose to be with another man who was more serious. He must choose to be serious before someone else is serious to that woman."How is it, Brother Ethan? Are you ready now?"Of course, Amel as the younger sister of the man agreed with her brother's idea. She certainly wanted to see her brother happy together with the woman he loved. Moreover, she was a good woman who never left her brother under any circumstances, and she liked her very much. Besides being kind, she was also beautiful and very smart. There were so many women who envied that woman, and so many men who wanted to mak

After a few days of hospitalization, Ethan decided to go home because he was now in a better condition than before. His gaze then turned towards a woman who was currently standing not far from him. The woman was none other than Citra who was staring at him while wearing a smile. Of course, Citra knew that this time they decided to go home because last night the man said he no longer felt at home in the hospital. Actually, Ethan still had to be treated in order to be really in good condition, but since he felt uncomfortable in the hospital, inevitably, Citra agreed to the man's request and chose to take care of him when at home. At least the man wouldn't feel bored if he was at home."We're going home now, right, Citra?"The man asked again because he was afraid that suddenly a doctor or nurse would try to get in the way. Ethan already felt tired and shouldn't be in a hospital like this which would only make him more tired. Actually, he wasn't doing anything and wasn't really doing muc

Leona left the hospital with blurred eyes. She really felt sad because she got a rejection from the man who was supposed to be hers. How could that man reject her, after so many men wanted to have her and wanted to make her their lover? But what about that man? Yes, not affected by him at all. He should have had the same feelings as other men when he was close to her. But, unfortunately, that man seemed to have no heart.Leona, who continued to walk and saw nothing, suddenly bumped into a man who was just about to enter the hospital. The man was quite surprised when someone suddenly bumped into him. Luckily, he immediately tried to catch Leona who was about to fall or else she would have fallen on the floor."I'm sorry that I didn't see," Leona said, feeling a little guilty for suddenly realizing that she was trying to make a man fall because of her negligence.Without caring about the man, Leona decided to quickly walk away. In fact, she did not heed the man's calls at all. Meanwhile

"Ethan, I have something to say to you, Ethan."After a long period of silence where it was just the two of them, Leona felt that this was her chance to express her feelings for him. After all, how long was she going to keep her feelings bottled up? The man in front of her had to know that she actually had feelings and wanted to be in a relationship. Even though he knew that the man liked Citra, but still, he should at least let him know that he had more feelings for the man and hope that those feelings would be reciprocated by the man.Ethan frowned in confusion, looking suspiciously at the woman in front of him. What was the woman going to ask? That is, what did she want to say? There seemed to be something quite important that the woman wanted to say, but somehow she was not ready to listen to it. However, refusing to listen didn't seem like a good idea, so inevitably she chose to nod her head, letting the woman say everything she wanted to say, even though she didn't like what the

"How are you, Ethan? Are you okay?"Leona asked immediately when she was right inside the man's room. It appeared that the man was currently hospitalized, and he was on a bed with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened to him. Though it was clear that the man had been kidnapped by someone unknown to Leona. She didn't know who had tried to kidnap the man. It seemed like she would ask later after having a short conversation with the man.Ethan smiled as he nodded his head. He knew that Leona had also helped search for him by mobilizing several men, as well as Leo who did not remain silent when he was in danger. The two of them were really instrumental in finding him, making him feel happy to have people close to him who were so kind and willing to look for him when in danger."I'm fine, Leona. Thank you for worrying about me."Leona just nodded her head. The woman decided to put down the fruits she had bought at a shop on the side of the road. She placed it right on the table,

"Where am I?"Ethan's gaze turned right and left, trying to ascertain where he was. Last he remembered, he was in a stuffy warehouse where people were trying to torture him, let alone a fat man who was so creepy. But why was she in a place that was all white, as if it was a hospital? It was because she had come to the hospital before, and had even been a patient. But, how could he be in a hospital like this now? Shouldn't he still be in the warehouse?Those questions kept swirling in his brain until he finally caught the face of someone smiling at him. It was Citra, a woman who was always by his side when he was not well. She smiled as if she was happy to see him awake."Citra, how did I get here? Wasn't I in a warehouse before?" he asked, staring at the beautiful woman whose gaze was currently drawn to him.Citra gave him a smile. She then helped the man to sit up and rested his head right on the back of the bed. "It's a long story, Ethan. But everything is fine now. You're safe now.
