Chapter95 The Final Madness
Wally was tempted. In front of 10 billion dollars, anyone with a normal mind would be moved.
However, after a brief moment, Wally calmed down and looked at Frank skeptically. He sneered, “10 billion dollars? To be honest, I do want it, but can you really gather that much money now?”
Frank nodded, “I may not, but Ethan definitely does. That's why I want you to cooperate with me!”
“Do you think I'm as stupid as you?” Wally snorted at his words.
“Listen to me before you decide. It won't be too late then!” Frank confidently reminded Wally.
On the other hand, Ethan and the others were having a victory celebration in the hotel.
In front of Evander and Shine Group’s other key members, Sarah still gave Ethan a cold look, clearly holding a grudge against him for hiding things from her.
Noticing that she was still upset with Ethan, Evander smiled and reminded her, “Mr. Wilson truly deserves to be called one of Novaria’s business geniuses. Shine Group’s success this time is all thanks to him.”
‘That's just how it is. Could he have done it alone without Alice's help?’
Though Sarah inwardly agreed with Evander's words, she wouldn't admit it out loud.
“How did I upset you? All I did was hide the plan from you,” Ethan sighed helplessly. This woman had quite the temper!
“Don't you dare say that. If it weren't for your plan, would Frank have humiliated Evander and I? I can let it slide, but when has Evander ever been so humiliated by someone?” Sarah interrupted him, her tone even angrier.
Evander quickly spoke up to defend Ethan, “Had I know that bit of suffering could kill off such a formidable enemy, I’d gladly endure more!”
Just then, Alice appeared at the private room door.
Her arrival directly disturbed Sarah's nerves. She exclaimed, “Why did you bring her along?”
“Alice is the major contributor to this plan. Shouldn't we invite her to celebrate with us?” Ethan reminded with a wry smile.
Hearing this, Sarah instantly lost her temper. She turned her head defiantly, not even bothering to look at Alice.
Alice was amused and sat down next to Ethan, smiling mischievously as she asked Sarah, “Miss Harris doesn't seem to welcome me here?”
“How could that be? You’re the biggest helper in this plan. You guys can celebrate with the ‘major contributor’ while I return to my room!” Sarah huffed and walked out, leaving everyone staring at each other.
“Let's just ignore her and continue.” Ethan had no choice but to give up on Sarah, turning to greet everyone else.
On the other hand, Sarah walked out of the room with a slow pace. She waited for quite some time, but nobody followed behind her. Feeling even more upset, she cursed, “They didn't even try to stop me from leaving! Just you wait, Alice!”
Angrily returning to the entrance of her suite, she was about to open the door when a hotel staff member pushing a tool cart approached her.
With no preparation, Sarah suddenly felt an arm tighten around her neck as a wet object covered her mouth and nose.
Before she could struggle or resist, her head instantly spun as she lost consciousness, fainting without a clue.
The man disguising as a staff immediately stuffed her into the empty space beneath the cart. He covered her with a white bedsheet, casually pushing the cart to the elevator without raising any suspicion.
The banquet ended over an hour later, and everyone had consumed a considerable amount of alcohol. Evander and the others were already in a drunk state, so Ethan instructed the hotel staff to give each of them a room to sleep in.
“Aren't you going to let me stay here as well?” Alice, whom Ethan personally escorted to the hotel entrance, asked reluctantly.
“Such a small amount of alcohol wouldn’t affect you, would it? Besides, I know you can never sleep comfortably in hotel beds.” Ethan understood Alice's intentions, only shaking his head and smiling bitterly.
Pouting, Alice retorted dismissively, “Men really do have conflicting words and actions. You're obviously worried Sarah would be upset if she found out.”
“Think whatever you want. I'm feeling a bit dizzy myself, so I'll just leave…”
“You should return early and get some rest!” Ethan quickly opened the door of the luxury car waiting for them. He then sent Alice inside and closed the door.
Watching the car disappear, he was about to return to the hotel when his phone suddenly rang.
Seeing the unknown number, he raised an eyebrow.
He curtly answered the call, “Who's this?”
“Ethan, you must be feeling quite proud right now,” Frank's icy voice came through the phone.
Hearing his voice, Ethan laughed, “I was wondering who it was. So, it’s you? I should've been proud, but since you can still call me, I’m not that satisfied anymore!”
Frank sighed and spoke in a negotiating tone to Ethan, “Why go to such extremes? Can't we find a compromise? As long as you agree to return the 15 billion, I’ll immediately exchange the two plots of land Shine Group originally owned.”
Ethan replied indifferently, “If you said that when I was in your office, I would’ve considered it. Isn’t it a little too late now?”
“So, you don’t want to reconcile?” Frank's voice suddenly turned dark.
Ethan retorted, “Do you think you're qualified to ask for that right now?”
“Well, I figured you wouldn’t let me go so easily. In that case, I have no choice but to resort to extreme measures. I’ll put the same price; 15 billion dollars. I’ll exchange Miss Harris’s life for that money. You shouldn’t be losing out on this deal, right?”
Frank sneered, shifted the conversation to a threat.
Slight determination flashed through Ethan's eyes when he heard this, his tone turning frosty. “Frank, are you threating me?”
“Perhaps I can give you some time to reconsider. Call me once you've made decided! However, I’m not a patient person. If I don't get what I want by midnight, prepare a burial plot for Miss Harris!”
After he said that, Frank directly ended the call.
Ethan put away his phone and immediately rushed into the hotel!
