Chapter 163
“Everything you stated is nothing but a silly excuse… You’re just used to working hard like a nobody right from when we’re Young!”
“Wow.. that’s a huge compliment ” Ethan smiled.
“You should tend to things yourself if you really want to succeed” Ethan added.
“As much as i hate to admit it you’ve succeeded already”Morgan scoffed.
“No, this is just the beginning” Ethan said much to Morgan chagrin.
Hearing the wealthiest man in California say ‘this is just the beginning’ pissed him off.
Does he want to take over the world!
He’s glad he had made plans to clear him off this Earth!
So, there’s nothing to worry about.
Ethan is going to continue his hard work in hell… the thought alone brought a smile to Morgan’s face.
“Are you done?” Ethan asked.
“Of course and it’s a pleasure to easily rob you of the two women you’ve ever loved” Morgan said with a smirk before strolling out of Ethan’s office.
“Dunderhead” Ethan said under his breath.
He quickly picked his phone and texted Irish.

“Hi.. i kinda spilled it to Morgan that you contacted me, i don’t know what’s going on but from the look on his face, i guess he’s not so pleased to hear that.
Knowing he would get home and probably confront you about it, i gave him an excuse that you only contacted me to remind me of how much you now hate me.
I hope you’re safe over there? And I’m being patient like you told me to. I miss you so much. Harold.
Irish sighed and smiled after she was done reading the message.
Her heart was almost in her throat when she read the part Ethan told Morgan that she contacted him but then she felt relieved seeing the excuse Ethan gave Morgan, who’s so dumb to believe everything.
She’s so glad Ethan had messaged her to inform her beforehand or she would have given Morgan a different excuse and he would suspect something was off and try to dig into it. Ethan acts like he knows of her plans, could Carl have told him? No, Carl wouldn’t do that without informing her first.
Ethan might just be comforted by the fact that she had told him to be patient, he definitely knew she’s coming back to him and she’s glad he’s being patient like she wants.
He’s so understanding and terrific! and she wouldn’t deny the fact that he’s so lucky to have his heart.. she’s damn lucky and she isn’t gonna ditch him for anything in the world.
“Get the hell out of here!” Catherine yelled at one of the maids and that brought Irish back to reality.
She was still seated with Catherine in the living room who kept changing channels to offend her but she didn’t mind at all cause she wasn’t even focused on the TV.
Her mind and thoughts were far away.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Maria stood beside her, she dared not sit because Catherine was there.
“Do you want water ?” Maria asked and Irish nodded.
Maria quickly left to get water for her.
The close relationship between Irish and Maria was noticeable and that pissed Catherine off, though she feels there’s still a bit of hope to know what Irish does through Maria.
She’s so sure Maria knows something they do not know about Irish and she’s going to ask her about it later.
She watched Irish with great dislike as she gulped the water Maria poured for her.
She’s so angry that Irish who was nothing than a maid in Ethan’s mansion now order her own workers around, she’s even about to take her place!
She would never allow that.
She so much regret she had made Irene feel welcome the first time she stepped her feet in here.
Shouldn’t she have a miscarriage already?
Why is the poison taking so long to work!
They heard cars screech to halts and they knew Morgan was back.
Catherine sat upright, bracing herself.
She sipped a little from the wine in front of her and cleared her throat.
Morgan walked in with bodyguards as usual and he told everyone of them to leave..
“I hope you didn’t make him see how desperate you are for the contract?” Catherine popped the first question.
“No, but obviously i made him take his hands off the contract” Morgan smiled.
‘indeed’ Irish said inwardly.
“So… the contract is yours now?” Irish asked.
“Automatically”Morgan grinned..” Ethan refused to sign it so.. I’ll be the next it’ll be awarded to”
“Did you cared to know the reason Ethan rejected the contract?” Irish asked.
“He claimed it seems illegal and he even dared advised me not to accept it so i won’t get myself in a deep shit.. he wants me to reject it cause he also did. What a joker” Morgan sighed. “I would also advise you don’t accept the contract.. Ethan wouldn’t have hesitated in signing it if it was legal” Irish said.
“Just shut up! What do you know about contracts? You’re just a school drop out and a nanny!” Catherine laughed mockingly.
“C’mon Cat” Morgan scolded.
“I’m sorry about that Irish” Morgan turned to her.
“It’s fine, I’m just a school drop out and a nanny like she said.”
“I’ll be going to my room” Irish stood up.
“Are you… upset over what Catherine said?” Morgan asked.
“Not at all.. i just need a nap” Irish said.
“Alright, will you be fine?”
“Of course” Irish nodded.
“And Ethan said you contacted him..” Morgan said.
“What!” Catherine exclaimed. “I told you she’s not to be trusted!” She added, prepared to get on her feet.
“Yeah i did, to remind him of how much i now hate him and to erase his thoughts of me ever coming back to him.”
“Lies! You’re a liar” Catherine shouted.
“She’s not, Ethan said the same thing” Morgan smiled, Irish had proved trustworthy once again. Catherine breathed heavily and glared hard at Irish.
“Can i go take my nap now?” Irish asked.
“Of course dearest” Morgan smiled.

Ethan walked into his living room and Arin jumped on his body immediately.
“Hi Dad” She smiled and Ethan picked her up.
“How are you princess?” He kissed her cheeks.
“Very fine” She said.
“Hey brother, how was work?” Brother asked with a smile, walking into the living room. “It was great” Ethan smiled at her.
That bright smile is still plastered all over her face.
He dropped Arin gently on the couch and turned to her.
“Come to my room later and tell me the reason you’re looking so bright these days” He teased and Jessica laughed.
“I got some macaroons and cakes on the way, you both can have it” Ethan said and motioned Javad to give it to them.
Jessica and Arin squealed over it while Ethan smiled and walked to his room to freshen up.
