After hanging up with ra, Ethan handed his phone to Owen who was now smirking in a painful attempt to conceal hisughter. The people around them faces now in shock.
<i>“</i><i>She </i><i>doesn’t </i><i>sound </i><i>sick </i><i>to </i><i>me </i><i>Chairman</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
Jameson eye’s began to bulge.
“<i>You </i><i>put </i><i>my </i><i>daughter </i><i>on </i><i>a </i><i>private </i><i>jet</i><i>! </i><i>That’s </i><i>why </i><i>I </i><i>couldn’t </i><i>find </i><i>her</i><i>! </i>Where <i>is </i><i>she</i><i>!</i><i>” </i>
Ethanughed lightly.
“<i>Find </i><i>her</i><i>. </i><i>I </i><i>thought </i><i>she </i><i>was </i><i>at </i><i>home </i><i>sick</i>. <i>So</i><i>, </i><i>you knew </i><i>she </i><i>was </i><i>gone </i><i>and would </i><i>not </i><i>be </i><i>showing </i><i>up</i>, <i>yet </i><i>you </i><i>and </i><i>your </i><i>family </i><i>chose </i><i>to </i><i>lie</i>? <i>How </i><i>ridiculous</i>.”
Everyone faces turned ashen at Ethan’s usations. The crowd began circling in as they started to notice themotion.
<i>“</i><i>Where </i>is <i>my </i><i>daughter </i><i>Taylor</i><i>! </i><i>You have </i>no <i>right </i><i>interfering </i><i>with </i><i>family </i>matters<i>! </i>You lied <i>as </i><i>well</i><i>!</i>”
Ethan smiled mischievously.
<i>“</i><i>Oh</i><i>, </i><i>tell </i><i>me </i>Granger, <i>how </i>did I <i>lie</i><i>?</i><i>” </i>
“W<i>–</i>Well, you <i>knew </i><i>ra </i><i>wasn’t </i><iing </i>because you put her on a jet, yet you came here stating she woulde<i>!</i><i>” </i>
Ethan rolled his eyes.
<i>“</i>Your memory is as bad as <i>your </i>lies Granger. I never said she would show <i>up</i><i>…</i><i>you </i>did<i>. </i><i>All </i>I <i>did </i><i>was </i><i>asked </i><i>where she </i>was at.<i>” </i>

The color began to drain from Jameson’s face, Ethan was correct, he never lied about anything. Suddenly, Sophie spoke up.
<i>“</i><i>Look </i>Chairman <i>Taylor</i><i>, </i><i>I </i><i>don’t </i><i>appreciate you’re </i><iing </i><i>here </i><i>in </i><i>an </i><i>attempt </i>to embarrass my <i>family</i><i>! </i><i>Did </i><i>my sister </i><i>put </i><i>you </i><i>up </i><i>to </i><i>this? She’s </i><i>been </i><i>jealous </i>of <i>me </i>her <i>entire </i>life!<i>” </i>

Ethan let out a hystericalugh catching everyone in the ballroom’s attention. Suddenly, the music stopped, and all eyes were them.
<i>“</i><i>Jealous</i>. <i>Let </i><i>me </i><i>get </i><i>this </i><i>straight</i>. <i>You </i><i>think </i><i>someone </i>as <i>intelligent</i><i>, </i><i>brilliant</i><b>, </b><i>beautiful</i>, and <i>caring </i><i>as </i><i>ra </i><i>Rouleau </i><i>would </i><i>waste </i><i>her </i><i>time </i><i>being </i><i>jealous </i><b><i>of </i></b><i>someone </i>as <i>mediocre </i>as
<i>you</i><i>?</i><i>” </i>
Sophie’s face began to redden with fire. How dare he speak to her that way! But Ethan didn’t stop there.
<i>“</i><i>With </i><i>regard </i><i>to </i><i>embarrassment</i><i>, </i><i>how </i><i>could </i><i>I </i><i>possibly </i><i>embarrass </i><i>you </i><i>all </i><i>more </i><i>than </i><i>you </i><i>embarrassed </i><i>yourselves </i><i>this </i><i>evening</i><i>? </i><i>Throwing </i><i>some </i><i>extravagant </i><i>g </i><i>merely </i><i>because </i><i>you </i><i>graduated </i><i>number </i>362 <i>in </i><i>your </i><i>ss</i>, <i>that’s </i><i>embarrassment</i>.
Ethan’s eye’s darkened.
“Spending years celebrating mediocrity because you were inferior to your former wife and daughter…THAT is embarrassing. The only reason people are here tonight is because of your father’s influence. Influence made off the back of Caroline Rouleau.”
Jameson nearly caught on fire from rage! How dare he say that! He built this business! He was the true king!
<i>“</i><i>You’ve </i>crossed <i>the </i><i>line </i><i>Taylor</i>! I <i>don’t </i>give a shit who you are<i>! </i>Get out of here <i>now</i><i>! </i><i>JGP </i>will <i>never </i><i>work </i><i>with </i>you!<i>” </i>
Owen suddenly let out a lightugh.
<i>“</i><i>Chairman </i>Granger, <i>you’re </i><i>severely </i>mistaken, the chairman never had any intentions on <i>dealing </i><i>with </i><i>your </i>outdatedpany, our <i>only </i>interest has been Ms. Rouleau<i>.</i>”
Jameson could feel all the blood draining from his face. He’d been made aplete fool

in front of everyone. As Ethan and Owen turned to walk away, Jason finally spoke up.
“<i>Chairman </i><i>Taylor</i><i>! </i><i>What’s </i><i>your </i><i>rtionship </i><i>with </i><i>my </i><i>fiancé</i><i>!</i><i>” </i>
Ethan raised his eyebrow in confusion.
“<i>Exactly </i><i>what </i><i>rtionship </i><i>would </i><i>I </i><i>have </i><i>with </i><i>the </i><i>likes </i><i>of </i><i>Sophie </i><i>Granger</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
Jason’s face reddened, he wasn’t referring to Sophie. In a low and embarrassed tone, he
rified.
<i>“</i><i>I </i><i>meant </i><i>ra</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
Ethan’s eyes lit up withughter.
Sophie looked at Jason as if she were eating crushed ss. How could he refer to ra as his fiancé! Ethan also looked annoyed.
<i>“</i><i>The </i><i>nerve </i><i>of </i><i>this </i><i>asshole</i><i>, </i><i>calling </i><i>ra </i><i>his </i><i>fiancé </i><i>after </i><i>announcing an </i><i>engagement </i>to her <fn8b07> Read full story at find?novel</fn8b07>

<i>“</i><i>You’ll </i><i>forgive </i><i>me </i><i>if </i><i>I </i><i>was </i><i>confused </i><i>due </i><i>to </i><i>your </i><i>need </i><i>to </i><i>‘</i><i>keep </i><i>it </i><i>in </i><i>the </i><i>family</i>‘. <i>That </i><i>being </i><i>said</i><i>, </i><i>I </i><i>overheard </i><i>you </i><i>announce </i><i>your </i><i>engagement </i>to <i>Sophie </i><i>Granger</i>. <i>I’d </i><i>reframe </i><i>from </i><i>calling </i><i>someone </i><i>else </i><i>your </i><i>fiancé</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
Ethan turned around and continued towards the door, pausing for a brief moment.
<i>“</i><i>And </i><i>whatever </i><i>my </i><i>interest </i><i>is </i>in ra, no <i>longer </i><i>your </i>concern.”
With that<b>, </b>Ethan and Owen left the ballroom leaving the guests all in shock and <b>the </b>Grangers severely embarrassed. While Jason lookedpletely foolish.
