After Ethan is well enough, the hospital discharges him, and Derek and others are waiting for him outside. He puts on a weak smile. There is only one week left for the system to finally eradicate In his life, and at that time, he can live like a normal human being without worrying about the organization or the threat of prison."Are you feeling well?" Derek asks as they re-enter the car."I'm fully okay, drive to the office," Ethan replies."You should rest at home," Mr. Davis expresses concern."I am okay, let's go to the office," there is something in his voice that hints at a hidden agenda.They arrive at the office, and they all sit, wondering what Ethan is about to say. Finally, he speaks up."Thank you all for your cooperation with me all this time. I want to express my gratitude, but I also want to let you know that your services will no longer be needed for our company," he says formally."Ethan, what are you saying?" Mr. Davis murmurs."Yes, you hear me right. I no longer re
Sandra keenly observes the subtle shift in Ethan's expression, a mixture of worry and determination. she inquires, "What's wrong? Is the mission proving to be exceptionally challenging?"Ethan's gaze briefly meets hers before he replies, "Don't worry; I'll handle it."Amused by his enigmatic response, she quips, "What's that all about? And why are you eyeing me so strangely? Is this mission somehow related to me? Am I in serious danger?" Her tone carrying a playful tease.Ethan scoffs in response, "No, I've been instructed not to divulge anything."Their day unfolds in a warm and affectionate manner, filled with shared moments that deepen their connection. When night falls, after an intimate interlude, Ethan drifts off to sleep. It is at this moment that the intercom abruptly rings, jolting Sandra from her reverie. She hurries to answer it, surprised to find Mr. Davis and Derek on the other side.With a welcoming smile, she invites them in.Mr. Davis wastes no time, remarking, "We'd
"Today, $1,200,000 is deducted from your dashboard for yesterday. If you refuse today, it's $500,000 per hour," a notification flashes on Ethan's screen. He pays it no mind, heading to the restroom to splash water on his face.The system's warning persists, "If you continue like this before the contracted days with the system, you will lose all your money at this rate.""So, you're telling me I should betray who I love for your money? If you want it all, take it. Let me be poor. I don't care," Ethan snaps back."Then, so be it," the system responds.Ethan dresses in a simple blue top and jeans, waiting for the people he has invited. The event planner for his wedding arrives, holding out an elegantly designed invitation card."Here it is," she says, extending the IV card to him. "I made more, just in case.""Thanks, but I only need seven of them," he replies, his voice tense.The door knocks, and Ethan assumes it's the person he's waiting for. However, it's Ariana."You've been coming
A week has passed since Nick's arrest, and he now faces a life sentence in isolation, never to see the sun again. Meanwhile, Sandra, dressed beautifully, leaves her house with an air of determination, her destination unclear, still haunted by the events of the other day. As she walks down the street, lost in her thoughts, she suddenly spots Ariana waving at her. Dismissing her as if she were invisible, Sandra continues on her path.Ariana, undeterred, rushes to catch up with her and begins, "It's not as straightforward as it may seem. I also longed for that hug, the last one. It's not entirely his fault."Sandra gives her a piercing look and retorts, "How does that change anything? You and he can embrace each other as much as you like."Ariana persists, "I can't deny that I made a mistake, but don't put all the blame on him. I asked for it. By now, you should trust him."Sandra winces, trying to grasp Ariana's words.Ariana clarifies, "What I mean is, after all the time you've spent
It is too late for them to understand what Ariana is yelling about as a mysterious figure shoots a gun. Simultaneously, Ariana jumps into the midst of it, and the bullet pierces straight through her chest, with blood gushing from the other side."Ariana!" Ethan shouts.Amidst the commotion, security guards react swiftly, apprehending the shooter before they can cause further harm.Panic and confusion grip the others who witness this.Sandra rushes to Ariana's side, attempting to apply pressure to the gunshot wound in a desperate effort to stop the bleeding. Ethan, a mixture of shock and concern in his eyes, kneels beside them, his heart racing.An ambulance is called, and paramedics arrive promptly. They rush Ariana into the ambulance, fighting to stabilize her condition.Meanwhile, the officer detains the captured shooter and initiates an investigation into the incident."I did this on my own," is what he keeps saying.Ariana is in the hospital, teetering between life and death.Etha
"We have to go back," Ethan says, scanning the room, while Noah sits down, wondering what happened."No, we're not going back. Let's run away from here, go to another country," Sandra suggests."You heard it yourself. They'll always find us, no matter how much we run. He sees us, and he will find us," Ethan retorts. While Sandra brushes her hair with her fingers, the phone rings again, and they almost jump in surprise. He looks at Sandra, who nods, giving him the go-ahead to answer the call."Hello, who is that?" his voice trembles."Hello, it's me... Alex," Alex mumbles. His voice already indicates that something is wrong."What's wrong?" he asks."The company, it's going bankrupt," Alex announces."What? How did that happen? How..." Ethan trails off."I don't know. All the companies you put under me, the shareholders are withdrawing, the people we partnered with are terminating the contracts with all possibilities," he says."Alex, what did you do wrong to make them do this?" Ethan
Ethan travels back to the country with his innocent son, determined to put an end to this once and for all.When they arrive at the airport, Mr. Davis and Feifei are already waiting for him."Boss, you look haggard," Mr. Davis remarked.Ethan nods, instead smiling. "I have prepared a hideout. there, we can make our plan and stay for the meantime.""Okay, thanks," Ethan says.After some minutes, they arrive at the hideout. It's a tiny, cold space, more like a container, with a flicker of light."Dad, I can't live here," Noah complains.Sandra hugs him. "It's gonna be okay."Feifei whispers, "That's the reason I'm telling him I'm not ready to give birth."They all scoff."So, what's our next plan?" Mr. Davis proposes."If we could step outside for a moment," Feifei says, looking at Noah. She doesn't want him to hear all they're about to discuss as he's just a kid.Sandra nods in understanding and stays with him as the others walk out."We know there is someone behind this, and we couldn
"Are you saying Mr. Desmond will provide organs for him?" Ethan asks, unbelievably."If he's the one backing them up, then that's what he is sure to do," the man said.Ethan nods, "Okay, you can go."The man left."They are always evil, and they will continue to behave so. We have to stop them," Ethan mutters."You have to concentrate on yourself first. You are losing everything. You have to clear your name and regain everything back," Sandra says.He sits down gently, "I will have to meet him.""For what? No, you can't do that. He will kill you. You heard what he said; he's a devil," Sandra says."I have to meet him and know what he is. I will be okay," he said.******Ariana walks out of the new apartment she is now living in, dressed in a full grey coat, looking sophisticated.As she is about to open her car, a hand pushes the door back to close and points a gun at her, discreetly."Follow me gently," the voice says."What do you want?" Ariana inquires, shaking."Don't ask me that,
