Chapter 145 Volatile Baytown
Confirming her speculations from Ethan's mouth truly touched Sarah's heart.
At first, she might have just been surprised that Ethan had already planned for the future three years ago, amazed by his intelligence and vision. But upon further reflection, she couldn't help but feel sorry for this man.
Under what kind of pressure and circumstances could he have such a sense of urgency and lay out such a big plan?
"You foresaw that there would be a day like this three years ago, didn't you?" Sarah gently asked, stroking Ethan's cheek.
"If you were in that situation, you would have made the same choices! Everything was just forced upon me!" Ethan sighed bitterly. That feeling of walking on thin ice, constantly facing danger, might be the reason why he always thought ten steps ahead in everything. Because he only had one life, and he couldn't afford to lose it.
"Why? Can't the vast Wilson family accommodate someone like you? I asked my grandfather about your parents, and he said it was a car accident. They just saw that you lost the protection of your parents and bullied you because you were alone. It's really unfair!" Sarah complained indignantly.
"The Wilson family owes me, and I will definitely take back what's mine with my own hands!" Ethan squeezed Sarah's hand and said firmly.
"Well, no matter what happens in the future, I will definitely support you! Along with the Harris family and my grandfather!" Sarah also nodded firmly.
"Is it worth it? Sometimes, I even wonder if what I'm doing will only bring trouble to you and the Harris family!" Ethan suddenly shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Why worry? You are my man, Sarah. Of course, it's worth it! And the Harris family might not necessarily be weaker than the Wilson family. If it really comes to a fight, the Wilson family might not have the advantage!" Sarah replied dismissively.
Ethan shook his head and didn't say anything more because he knew how terrifying the Wilson family was, there were some things he couldn't say, and Sarah wouldn't understand them at the moment.
Even the powerful Harris family might not be a match for the Wilson family!
That night, Sarah cuddled in Ethan's arms and slept beautifully and sweetly, a satisfied and happy smile always on her pretty face.
The next morning, Sarah was awakened by Ethan's phone ringing.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Ethan, dressed neatly, already answering the phone by the window.
"After planning for so long, it's time to take action. Take down all those small businesses we've been keeping an eye on as quickly as possible, while 146 hasn't caught on yet. We've already started the first move last night, and once the arrow is shot, there's no turning back. We need to act fast!" Ethan said sternly.
After Ethan hung up the phone, Sarah sat up from the bed and slowly got dressed.
"Awake? Do you want to sleep a little longer?" Ethan asked with a smile.
"Who were you talking to just now?" Sarah asked in return.
"Alexander. I'll introduce you to him when we have time. They are a team of six people. They all pose as employees of the Prudence Investment Company, but in reality, they are my closest confidants, hand-picked talents! Many things that I can't personally handle will be done by them in the future!"
Ethan explained without hiding anything.
Sarah was now his woman, and there was no point in hiding things. It was only a matter of time before she, Alexander, and the others needed to cooperate with each other.
"The last time you were able to find me in Seattle so quickly was also because of them, right?" Sarah asked.
"Yes, it was thanks to Alexander, the top hacker, that we were able to find your exact location, and I could find you as soon as possible. Those guys were so foolish. With Alexander's abilities, as long as he has a phone number, he can use criminal investigation methods to track the location. So, if you ever encounter danger again, don't panic; I will definitely find a way to find you!" Ethan nodded and assured Sarah confidently.
"I know that being with you will surely come with danger, but I'm not afraid. I believe that you will definitely keep me safe!"
Sarah got out of bed and hugged Ethan, wrapping her arms around his waist as she rested her head on his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat.
After spending some intimate moments together, Ethan said, "Alright, now that you're up, let's go out. Consider it a way to relax."
Sarah nodded without asking any further questions. After freshening up, she followed Ethan out of the hotel.
News of a mysterious foreign entity acquiring five local coal companies overnight quickly spread throughout the business circles in Baytown, causing quite a stir.
What was even more sensational was that early in the morning today, news of various small businesses being acquired by mysterious individuals once again started to emerge, creating an explosive trend. The increasing amount of acquisition news shook the entire coal industry in Baytown.
During this time, Ethan brought Sarah to a newly built landmark in the city center of Baytown.
This 60-story skyscraper, which had not yet been officially named, took two years to construct. However, it was said that the developer referred to it as the Wilson Group Building!
In reality, there were not many high-rise buildings like this in Baytown, as the coal industry did not require luxurious CBD office areas. Unlike emerging industries such as finance and the internet, it belonged to the traditional industrial category and did not need many skyscrapers. What they needed more were factories and technical equipment.
Therefore, the locals in Baytown did not care about who owned this building or the background of this unheard-of Wilson Group.
For Baytown, they welcomed outside investment in building such a large building and thought that the other party was just naive and had money to spare, making contributions to their city.
"I never expected an industrial city like Baytown to have such a tall and luxurious skyscraper. Why did you bring me here?" Sarah asked curiously, looking up at the skyscraper that seemed endless.
"I brought you here to recognize the entrance! From now on, you are the owner of this building!" Ethan calmly explained.
Sarah's eyes widened suddenly, her face full of shock as she stared at Ethan.
