The System of Power is Money Chapter 278
That night, Ethan decided to go to Citra's house. He had planned to invite her to a birthday party-Leona's birthday party. His decision to invite Citra was not without reason; the party was important, and he wanted to make sure she was a part of the evening.At exactly 7pm, Ethan walked out of his apartment room. After putting on a neat black suit with a dark gray tie, he smoothed his collar in front of the mirror. His face looked serious, but there was a hint of nervousness in his eyes. As he walked towards the front door, his steps suddenly stopped. Someone's voice stopped him."Ethan, where are you going at this time of night?" the voice came from Amel, his younger sister.Amel stood in the living room, eyebrows raised in question. The girl scrutinized her brother's appearance from top to bottom. Ethan looked neater than usual, like someone preparing for a romantic date. A small smile was etched on Amel's face, as if she already knew the answer."Brother Ethan, do you want to go on

Citra remained silent, staring intently at the man standing before her. Her heart was in turmoil, full of unexplainable doubts and anxieties. She was eager to accept the man's invitation to go to Leona's birthday party, but something was holding her back. A feeling that was hard to ignore-like a premonition that his presence there would only make the situation awkward.Citra knew very well how Leona looked at the man. Leona's hopeful gaze, excessive attention, and possessive attitude had been enough to make her realize that the woman had more feelings for the man now standing in front of her. If he went along, Leona would definitely show him a hostile look, maybe even take advantage of every opportunity to make him feel uncomfortable. That, of course, was something Citra was very much against.However, if she let him go alone to the party, her heart could not be at ease. She knew that Leona would use the opportunity to get close to him and try to get his attention. The thought made Ci

After a long debate, Citra finally went to Leona's birthday party. Moreover, the man who was currently driving the car beside her assured her that everything was fine. A smile graced Citra's face. Finally, the woman occasionally turned her head towards the man in front of her, feeling happy when going together with him. Whether going anywhere or everywhere, what was certain was that she was still together with him-something she had always wanted. She was happy."Before we actually attend Leona's birthday event, would you like to buy something for Leona, Citra?"Ethan asked immediately after a considerable distance from Citra's house. The man glanced briefly at Citra, then looked back to the front to focus on driving the car and not something that would only lead to something fatal. He waited for an answer to the question he had just asked.We were silent for a moment, trying to think whether he would bring something for Leona or not. But if he did bring something for her, what would h

Moments later, Ethan's car drove back through the crowded city to go to Leona's house, where the birthday party had probably already started.Meanwhile, at the woman's house, Leona apparently hadn't done anything yet. She had been staring at the door, trying to find someone who had yet to show up. Leona frowned, confused as to why the man had not yet arrived at her house, even though the event was about to begin.Fearing that the man, who was none other than Ethan, had forgotten or was asleep, Leona decided to immediately take out her cell phone and try to contact the man. However, before actually trying to call the man, suddenly a woman who was right beside her immediately reprimanded Leona. Of course the woman was quite confused why Leona had not yet started the birthday event, even though all the guests were now at her house. But for some reason, Leona chose not to immediately start the birthday event."Why don't you start the birthday party immediately, Leona?" asked Cindy, who ha
The System of Power is Money Chapter 282
After the birthday event at Leona's house was over, Citra finally breathed a sigh of relief. Right now, someone who had always been beside her was driving the car to take her home. She occasionally glanced at the man and then smiled and looked back at the front, as if she didn't want him to know that she had glanced.Unfortunately, Ethan knew that just now Citra had looked at him and smiled, as if there was something the woman was hiding and he didn't know about it. However, he certainly couldn't stay silent. However, she was curious and wanted to know what Citra was thinking and why she was smiling all of a sudden."What's wrong, Citra? Did something happen to you?"Ethan glanced at Citra for a moment and then refocused on driving the car. Of course, he didn't want to be caught off guard and crash into another car, which would only put them both in danger due to his own negligence.Quickly, Citra shook her head, indicating that she was currently okay. Of course she didn't want to tel

As Ethan continued to drive his car through the crowded city, he suddenly remembered that his sister had asked for a souvenir when he came home. His eyes glanced right and left, trying to find something he could bring home. Actually, she had asked for a pizza when she was leaving, but it had been too long, and she couldn't seem to find anyone who sold pizza. Likewise, the restaurants that he had passed by earlier showed no signs of still selling pizza. They were all closed, considering it was already late at night, and it seemed like it would indeed be quite difficult to find someone who was selling pizza.Inevitably, the man chose to wander around first. Who knows, while he was walking around, he might find a restaurant that was still open. But after a few minutes of wandering around, there was no restaurant open. Everything was closed, making the man sighed and now really felt confused about what to bring so that his sister could like it. Actually, the girl didn't really like pizza,

Amel, who was in the apartment, had been looking at the clock on the wall. It was already midnight, and her brother-Ethan-had yet to return to the apartment.A few minutes ago, Amel called Citra and asked about Ethan's whereabouts, but she said that Ethan had gone home 30 minutes ago. In fact, he hasn't even arrived home yet.The distance between Citra's house and the apartment didn't take long. It only took 15 minutes to arrive, but until now Ethan had not shown any signs of going home.If only Ethan didn't have many enemies, maybe Amel would never worry like this. Especially after the incident some time ago, it made her a little traumatized, afraid that something would happen to Ethan, especially since he was the only man Amel had. Both her parents were dead, and she had no one else.There were indeed a lot of good people around her like lecturer Malik and Citra. But they could never replace Ethan, no matter how good they were to him."Hurry home, Brother Ethan! Where is Ethan?"Ame

In her room, Citra had been staring at her cell phone which she placed on the nightstand. Several times she tried to call the man who was none other than Ethan, but until now he had not picked up the phone. It made her really feel worried, I don't know what happened to that man and why suddenly he hadn't arrived at the apartment. Even his cell phone could not be reached, as if something had happened to the man, and Citra could not allow this. She had to make sure first.Without thinking anymore, she decided to take the car keys and the cell phone. Of course she would go to the man's apartment to check whether he was home or not. Moreover, she had also called Amel several times to ask about his whereabouts, but until now neither he nor Amel had picked up the phone. This made him feel even more worried and unable to sleep peacefully before confirming everything first. It seemed like it was a feeling of love for the man, so even though it was late at night, she couldn't fall asleep if sh

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
Chapter 299
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
Chapter 298
"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.
