Ethan Hunt: Billionaire God of War
Chapter 381 - 390

Chapter 381

Some sales agents noticed that they had customers, so one of them immediately went up and greeted them politely, "Hello master, mistress, are you interested in buying a house?"

Ethan walks straight to the scales model at the sales office and points to a row of bungalows. He asked Diane, "Which one do you like?"

"What-what?"

"Choose one quickly. Do you still not want to go to work?"

Ethan laughed, then turned to the sales agent, "Do you have any furniture? The type you can move immediately."

"Furnished house? Er..yep! Yeah, we got it!"

He's still in shock. Doesn't he want to look around the house first?

Or at least ask a few questions? Other customers often ask about the layout of the house, or the structure of the house and all sorts of other questions. They usually ask very specific questions, so as an agent, he remembers everything well.

But Ethan now asks her if there is a house she can live in right now.

"I'll take this house then. It's my card!"

"What?"

Wasn't the decision made too soon?

Ethan has spent less than 30 seconds in this office.

Also, he pointed to a bungalow. Who stands alone.

The sales agent was still dumbfounded and thought Ethan was joking. But Ethan doesn't seem to be joking.

"Sir, is this what you want?" he quickly confirmed this with her.

Even Diane wanted to confirm this with him. It's about buying a house, not just any vegetables!

He knows Ethan is rich, but this is the bungalow they're talking about! Independent as well!

"Wait a minute!" Ethan suddenly raised his hand.

And a little bit of frowning.

The sales agent thinks he's sorry now.

This particular bungalow costs a total of $ 13 million or more with everything included. Even if he was really rich, he also did not have to be arrogant.

"Mother likes a quiet environment, so if the neighbors are too noisy, it will affect her mood."

Ethan looked at the scale model again and began to mutter his mind violently. He pointed to an empty plot of land. "Mom can grow some vegetables and flowers on this piece of land. He'll love it."

"It's fine then."

Ethan pulled out a card. "I took this whole line including this piece of vacant land."

"What-what?"

Both Diane and the sales agent gaped at the same time.

That row totals ten houses!

Is Ethan kidding?

He bought ten houses because he was afraid the neighbors would be too noisy for April.

He even wanted an empty plot of land so April had a place to grow vegetables and flowers?

"Husband…"

"Sir…"

The two are dizzy wondering if Ethan has gone mad.

"Swipe my card now!" Ethan orders the sales agent out loud. No need to say more.

After seeing Ethan and Diane out, the sales agent had already bent down at a 90-degree angle.

All his colleagues were equally astonished.

Having been on this line for so many years, they have seen their fair share of the rich. But they've never seen THIS rich one!

Ten bungalows is $130 million!

He said he wanted to buy the whole line and he really did. He had no idea how many people got excited when he ordered the sales agent to swipe his cards.

What is the definition of a tycoon?

That is the definition of a tycoon!

The sales agent did not even have enough time to pour a glass of water for Ethan and Diane and this entire transaction was completed.

After calculating his commission, he started laughing foolishly at himself. He slapped himself a few times and started cheering when he felt pain.

"I'm rich! I'm RICH!!"

She was just wondering how she would cover the cost of her wedding, but now she was on top of the world! Commission alone is over $2 million!

All the sales agents stand in one line and keep seeing Ethan out.

One of them was so excited that he went crazy. The rest were so envious that they went crazy.

A black car stopped at the entrance. Their manager has arrived.

When he saw all of his sales agents standing there in a daze, he immediately started yelling angrily at them, "What are you guys doing? Don't you have to sell the house? It's not easy to sell those bungalows, so go. some customers! Why are you all standing here and daydreaming?!"

"Manager, all the bungalows are sold."

"All sold? What nonsense are you talking about? Did you pull me fast? That bungalow ..."

The manager could no longer speak when he saw the receipt.

Chapter 382

When he saw that these ten bungalows were bought by one person and paid in full, he could not help but scream.

"Everything!" He doesn't believe at all. His voice trembled as he asked, "Who ...who bought it?"

When she saw that the property was listed under Diane Palmer, she almost jumped in fright.

"Palmer CEO!" He wiped the sweat off his forehead. "That's CEO Palmer of the Palmer Group!"

It's not a small matter.

Diane from Palmer Group has bought their house but as a manager, she is not the one to show and take care of them. If his boss finds out, he'll be in trouble.

It's Diane Palmer!

He could think of nothing else now. He took the receipt and went to find his boss.

If the Palmer Group did not attract investors to Greencliff, its boss would never have had the opportunity to expand its real estate business to Greencliff. They always wanted to find an opportunity to thank Palmer Group and thank Diane, but Diane instead came to support their business.

This was an important matter and he had to report it to his boss immediately!

Meanwhile.

Diane was in the car and felt a little numb.

The last time he asked Ethan how much money he had, he said he didn't know and only knew it was enough to spend.

He had just spent over $100 million without batting an eye. Is that enough to spend?

It was more than enough for them to stay in one bungalow, but Ethan bought ten bungalows.

In addition to buying those ten, he even bought an additional plot of land just so that April could grow vegetables and flowers for fun.

If April wants to raise fish, will Ethan dig a pond for her too?

"Hubby, if you keep spending money on my family like this, I really don't think I can pay you back anymore."

Ethan didn't even look. "So, you have to use yourself as payment."

Dian took a deep breath. "It seems like the only way."

Nah! He has to work hard and make the Palmer Group bigger and stronger! He will work hard to earn money and become stronger than Ethan! Richer than Ethan!

He would let her feel how money could make her numb! HUH!

After climbing upstairs with Diane, Ethan steps out of his office. Diane doesn't know what she wants to do, but she keeps working.

In the office area.

Ethan walks over to Ashley's chair and knocks on her desk.

Ashley's busy doing the work. When he saw it was Ethan, he unhappily opened his drawer and took out a bag of potato chips.

"Brother Ethan, this is my last bag of chips. Can't you leave some for me?"

"Who said I'm here for your happy news?"

Ethan rolled his eyes but still grabbed a bag of chips. He immediately tore it up and started eating as he said to him, "Call all the young employees from different departments who have worked well to report to CEO Palmer's office."

"What-what?"

"Go now, otherwise I'll finish your chips."

"Yes sir!"

In no time.

Eight people stood inside Diane's office. They are young employees from different departments who have performed well recently.

They don't know why Ethan called them.

They were a little nervous and a little anxious.

Everyone knows that the real boss of the Palmer Group is Ethan.

They know that Ethan can be friendly and take good care of the staff. But they also knew that he was strong and terrifying!

"The Palmer Group's expansion can't just rely on the Chairman and CEO" Ethan got straight to the point. "Even with directors from different departments, it's not enough. So I need more hands to do the job."

"We've already cleared all the obstacles in the southeast region, so once the Palmer Group stabilizes itself in Fairbanks, we'll move to the southeast region. You all know this, right?"

All eight of them nodded.

"Palmer's CEO has to take care of the big picture and he can't take care of every detail. So there's a lot I want to tell you."

The eight of them felt their breathing grow faster.

It is a heavy responsibility!

It is a heavy responsibility to expand the company!

It was a job that came with great pressure and great difficulty. It is a challenge, but it also carries risks.

"Brother Ethan, do you think .. can we really do it?" ask one of them who is bolder and usually talks to Ethan.

"Whether you are truly capable or not depends on yourself," Ethan smiled as he looked at Diane, who had just realized what she was trying to do. "After all, CEO Palmer has told me that you all can."

"The southeast market is there, so you can choose which city you want to visit. I'll give you two things" Ethan tapped his finger on the table. "One. Every time you complete a Palmer Group expansion into a city, you can tell me how much money you want as a gift. You can even ask for a few million, no problem. Two, your annual salary will double."

Chapter 383

All eight of them were panting at the same time.

A few million as a gift!

The salary that the Palmer Group provides to its staff is already the highest in the entire Greencliff.

And now Ethan offers more than that!

"If you can help share the burden of CEO Palmer, then you will contribute greatly to the Palmer Group, so this kind of gift is actually not too much. If you think you can take on this responsibility, then you can go and make preparations now." WEB."

Ethan leans on the couch and picks up the potato chips he took from Ashley earlier.

All eight of them immediately stood as upright as they could.

Not only did Ethan trust them enough to offer such a large reward, but more because Ethan had treated them as the most important workers for the Palmer Group.

"Son Ethan! Worry not! I won't let down the trust you gave me!"

"Brother Ethan, the gifts and everything don't matter. Sharing CEO Palmer's burden is my job!"

"Brother Ethan, I will give everything I have and get that market!"

The eight of them were filled with excitement and motivation.

An opportunity to be trusted like this and to be given the responsibility of opening a new market despite being young is not something that is easily acquired.

Just that reason alone was worth their full effort!

"Sure, I'll wait for the good news from all of you. I'll toast you at the company's annual dinner."

With those words, the eight of them became even more excited.

Ethan wants to give them a toast!

In order to clink a glass with Ethan in front of the entire company, they would go all-out!

Even if they were exhausted, they would try their hardest!

Diane spoke up after the eight of them left her office.

He knows that Ethan makes them share his burden because he doesn't want him to be too busy.

"This is how you develop your talent. You should let them out and try too. The company is one body made up of many people, and should not rely on you alone. Understood?"

Dian nodded.

Ethan stuffed one potato chip into Diane's mouth and whispered, "Is that delicious? I saw Ashley actually had one more bag in her drawer."

Diane couldn't help but laugh when she saw how Ethan looked so serious with potato chips.

He forgot everything he wanted to say before.

He snorted and almost sprayed the potato chips in his mouth at Ethan, so he quickly covered his mouth.

"You only know how to retrieve information from my staff!"

But then he grabbed the others because he couldn't help but eat more. "But it's really delicious."

At that moment, someone knocked on the door.

Diane allowed people outside to enter. Ashley walks in to see Ethan and Diane sitting on the sofa and eating her potato chips and almost wanting to complain.

That's the chip!

"CEO Palmer, CEO Walker of Harmony View Real Estate is here to see you."

Dian surprised. Palmer Group did not work with any real estate company in his memory. They are in the pharmaceutical and beauty industries.

"Harmony View?" He suddenly remembered. It was the real estate company where Ethan bought ten of those bungalows.

"Let him in."

CEO Walker of Harmony View Real Estate was ushered in shortly thereafter.

"Good morning, CEO Palmer, Mr. Hunt!" CEO Walker was very polite and bowed slightly as he greeted them.

At Greencliff, all these investors know about the Palmer Group. Everyone knows who Diane is, and of course, everyone knows Ethan!

He's like a god at Greencliff.

"CEO Walker, sit down." Diane got up and poured a glass of water for CEO Walker. He smiled and asked, "I'm not sure why you're here to see me?"

CEO Walker was shocked that Diane had served him. He took a glass of water with both hands before sitting down.

"I just found out that Mr. Hunt and CEO Palmer bought the property from my sales office. My subordinate doesn't know who the two of you are and doesn't take good care of both of you. I felt bad about it, so I immediately rushed to make up for it for the two of you."

Ethan said nothing, while Diane laughed out loud.

"That's right."

The staff did not know who they were, so there was only so much they would do to take care of them. In addition, Ethan takes less than five minutes to enter until the transaction is complete, so the most they can do is drink a glass of water.

CEO Walker smiled, "Thank you for being so understanding, CEO Palmer."

He took out information about ten bungalows as well as debit cards and put them all on the table.

"CEO Palmer, my company has the opportunity to expand to Greencliff thanks to the Palmer Group, and especially due to the support of Chairman Palmer," CEO Walker explained with a smile. "So I want to give these ten bungalows to Mr. Hunt and CEO Palmer as a token of my appreciation."

He knows that money is not a problem for Ethan and Diane, but he really wants to show them how grateful he is.

Dian was a little surprised. He didn't expect CEO Walker to come here to do this.

She didn't know what to say so she turned to Ethan.

"What would others think if you gave it to me? What if other people think that I don't have money?"

Chapter 384

Ethan is not like most people who would politely refuse.

This response made CEO Walker instantly look a little nervous.

That's not what he meant at all.

"No, Mr. Hunt, that's not what I meant. I just..."

"That's not what you mean, but if other people find out, that's what they'll think. Otherwise, they would think that I was bullying others and managed to force you to give me this property. Can you imagine how destructive that is? for reputation?"

CEO Walker became more anxious. He quickly stood up and tried to explain, but he was unable to find the words and nothing came out.

"Business is a business, so there is no point for anyone if we break the rules. We appreciate your goodwill" Ethan waved his hand. "CEO Walker, if you want to expand further within Greencliff, then continue to build more quality and high-design properties so that people here can enjoy good housing. As long as you run a business with a conscience, I can guarantee that your business at Greencliff will be even more prosperous."

CEO Walker realizes that Ethan is neither angry nor blaming him. Ethan reminded!

He immediately stood up straight and replied respectfully, "I will definitely remember everything Mr. had taught me. Hunt to me today!"

"That's great. I'll thank you in advance on behalf of the citizens of Greencliff."

Ethan then extended a bag of half-eaten potato chips to CEO Walker and said with a smile, "Try this. It's so good."

CEO Walker was dazed as he picked up the chips with both hands and his eyes watering.

Ethan gave this to her!

Ethan asked her to try this!

He had to frame this bag of chips when he got home.

He thanked them both and left with a bag of chips.

CEO Walker was almost fifty years old, but he was very polite and respectful in front of Ethan, like a student before his teacher. It's amazing that he can even be so excited because Ethan gave him a bag of half-eaten chips.

Diane knew that her husband was someone who really made everyone around her admire him.

"You've already given me those chips, but I've only eaten a few pieces" he said on purpose.

"It's easy to solve."

Ethan grabs Diane's hand and laughs, "Let's get the bag from Ashley! He's got another one hiding in his drawer!"

……

Meanwhile, in a hotel in the heart of the city, a large city known around the world.

There were a few men whose faces were flushed red in private rooms after a few drinks. They have been encouraged by alcohol and begin to feel sensitive.

Suddenly the sound of a slap made everyone in the private room speechless.

"Victoria! How dare you slap me!"

A fat man immediately glared at him furiously. "You're just a bloody singer! Don't think I don't dare kill you!"

Victoria Clark's face was filled with fear as she quickly took a few steps back and ran to the door. He saw people chasing him, so he quickly opened the door and ran out.

He ran back to his own hotel room and splashed cold water on his face, but he could not stop the tears from flowing.

"Victoria!" His manager caught up with him and his face was filled with worry. "Why are you so reckless! He's not someone you can hurt!"

Victoria clenched her teeth.

"I'm a singer, not a hostess!"

The manager can do nothing. Artists like Victoria Clark can't avoid going to a drinking party like that.

It was even more difficult to deal with those who came with bad intentions.

Every guest at this drinking party has an influence in the entertainment circle. If an artist offends one of them, it will not only affect the future of that artist in the industry, but it can also take the life of that artist.

Even if you are Victoria, one of the most popular singers in the country today. She is a sweet-looking singer with a lot of fans.

But the more beautiful you are, the more dangerous the entertainment circle is.

"But we really can't afford to offend that Young Master. Not even our boss is capable of." The manager doesn't know what else to do. He looked at Viktoria. "Why don't you go back and apologize? Maybe he'll let you go?"

Victoria looked at her own manager and there was a sad expression on her face.

"No," Victoria said with determination. "The one who should apologize is him! I won't apologize!"

"He's gonna kill you!" the manager said anxiously.

Someone started knocking on the door of the hotel room loudly.

"Open door! Open the door right now! Victoria's inside, right? Come out and apologize to our Young Master right now!"

Victoria's face paled. They caught up with him so quickly?

These idiots were actually trying to push him into a corner.

"Victoria! Hurry along!" His manager responded to the situation quickly. "Hide yourself, I'll distract them while you run!"

"Where can I run?"

There is no safe place in this country. The Young Master he hurt came from a very influential family and he was completely incapable of offending him at all.

"Go to Greencliff! Go to Greencliff!" the manager quickly instructed him. He suddenly recalled that he heard that there was a town called Greencliff that was supposedly a forbidden territory and no one was allowed to make trouble there!

Chapter 385

Victoria was only able to escape, then returned after her company settled the matter. If they were to catch him now, he would not even dare to think about what might happen to him.

The knock on the door the longer it gets harder.

Victoria's face paled and she immediately hid under the bed. He grabbed his bag as well and trembled.

The door was kicked open and several men rushed into the room.

"Hello, hello gentlemen! Victoria's not here, what are you trying to do?" The manager smiled awkwardly, "I'm looking for him too! This silly girl is so immature!"

"Huh, where does he think he can hide after offending Young Master Aker?"

"Yes, it's my fault for not teaching him well. Don't worry, I'll find Victoria now. Once I find him, I will send him to Young Master Aker!"

"Surge!"

They ignored him and pushed him to the side as they started to rummage through the room.

They looked around and didn't see Victoria. They noticed that the clothes on the bed were messy and the bag was missing, so they suspected he was running away.

The manager continued to stand at the door and did not dare to say anything even though he was angry. He quietly sighed in relief in his heart when he saw those people walking towards the door without finding Victoria.

"I warn you, Young Master Aker is furious! If this Victoria doesn't apologize to him, then it's not just the end of this singer, it will also be the end of your company! HA! "

After warning the manager, the men left.

The manager quickly locked the door behind him and ran to the bed.

"Don't come out!" he whispered. "They must still be outside guarding the room, I'll find a way to make them leave this place and you find a chance to get out of here, understand?"

Victoria didn't dare say anything.

"Go to Greencliff and hide for a few days. I'll figure out a way to settle this with the boss, then I'll pick you up when everything's safe."

After that, the manager left the room. After a long time, Victoria finally dared to come down from under the bed. As it was late at night, he took the opportunity to escape. He covered himself up well, bought a ticket and flew straight to Greencliff.

……

Meanwhile.

Diane curled up in Ethan's arms and felt a little warm.

It was almost May and the weather started to warm. April changed their blankets because she said she was afraid they would sweat at night.

He seemed to be hinting at something else.

Why do they sweat in their sleep if they do not do strenuous activities?

"CEO Walker said that his staff had tidied up the bungalow and we could move in tomorrow" Diane said in a soft voice. "When you told Mum about it today, she frowned, but I can tell that she was very happy about it."

How could he not be happy? He had spent most of his life in this slum plantation and now he could move to a bigger house. It was a self-contained bungalow with a complex, and he even had room to grow vegetables and flowers.

"As long as you're happy" Ethan replied with a smile. "He suffered all his life, so it's time he enjoyed life."

"Thank you, my husband." Diane shifts herself closer to Ethan and it gets warmer. "There were times where I could hardly believe it. It's like I'm dreaming. How can I have a good husband like you?"

"I don't believe it either."

"You don't believe what?"

"I can't believe how you ended up with such a good husband" Ethan teased her.

Diane's face flushed and kicked Ethan to the side. "It's so warm! Go to sleep now!"

Ethan can't do anything.

But it's warm enough if they sleep like this.

The room was not big enough.

"I'll leave the house to move on to you tomorrow, I'll go to the office myself," Diane spoke again after a while. "I can drive."

Ethan nodded.

Diane's driving skills are decent. And he didn't have to worry as long as he was inside Greencliff. He always had someone protecting him from afar.

Ethan is never negligent in ensuring Diane's safety.

Nothing else happened for the rest of the night.

They were not awakened by an alarm clock the next day. They are awakened by the joys of April outside.

It took them quite a long time to pack everything the night before. April had sorted through the items she had to carry and the items she did not have to carry. But upon waking up the next morning, she begins to feel that there is more to her with sentimental value that she wants to bring to her new home.

He knew that the family was not short of money, but there were many things that money could not buy.

Dian yawned. "Mom, you wake up so early."

"Early? It's 6 in the morning!" April glared at him. "Ethan was often very tired so it was okay for her to sleep. Why are you lazy too?"

Dian wanted to cry. How did he become lazy?

But she knows that April loves Ethan as much as she is her own son and the resistance is futile. He just kept yawning and went to take a shower.

After breakfast, Diane drove herself to the office.

After April washed all the cutlery, she became even more excited. Time to move house!

Tom Foster has arranged for the men to help them move. He's not going to move house to April and her family.

"It's hard for everyone!" April thanked the men sincerely and prepared plenty of food and drink for them so that these men would feel valued and more motivated.

Though these people are actually fighting for the right to help Ethan move house!

"Your father and Diane were busy and couldn't help. I'm glad these kids are there. Otherwise, I don't know when the two of us will finish moving everything," April said with a big smile after getting into the truck.

Ethan nodded and turned to the driver, "After we're done here, take your brothers out for a good meal."

"Yes the Big Boss!"

Meanwhile.

He was still a little nervous and used both of his hands to hold the wheel. He did not dare to look elsewhere at all. The way she kept staring at the front of the car and looked very cautious made her look like a female driver in general.

"We're almost there, there's three more traffic lights left and we'll get there" he murmured to himself. "It's not that hard to drive."

This first trip went pretty well.

As soon as the light turned green, Diane drove slowly. He had to turn right immediately, so he checked the rearview mirror to see that there was no car behind him, then pulled out his signal to prepare to turn right.

Then when he looked back to the front, he suddenly realized someone was crossing the street!

"AHH!!"

Chapter 386

Diane immediately panicked and stepped on the brakes. His car wasn't traveling at high speed, but he was still hitting pedestrians.

His face instantly paled as he turned on the hazard lights and ran out of the car while his heart was pounding nonstop.

"Are you .. are you okay?" Dian's face was filled with worry. The woman he hit wore a large hat and sunglasses and covered almost her entire face.

He may not realize that the car is going to turn right.

"I'm. I'm fine."

Victoria wore a pair of high heels. He put it back on properly and tried to stand up, but there was pain in his ankle.

He bit his lips slightly and whimpered in pain. Diane became more anxious.

"I'm sorry! I-i'm sorry! I didn't see you! I'm really sorry! Let me send you to the hospital!"

"I'm fine, don't worry. I didn't pay attention to your car either, so it's my fault."

Victoria was also very sorry. He was wearing a hat and sunglasses so he didn't see the car coming either. He felt that he had to shoulder a greater responsibility.

He felt a little awkward seeing how this woman who hit him looked so anxious and worried.

Victoria arrived at the hotel very late the night before. After hiding all night, he wanted to go early in the morning to eat, but in the end ended up in a car accident.

He did not dare to attract unnecessary attention and quickly tried to stand up and leave, but his ankle was too sore and he could not even stand up.

"You're not okay at all! Legs hurt! I'll send you to the hospital now!" Dian insists. She helped Victoria get into the car and went to the hospital.

The Greencliff First Hospital.

When the director of the hospital hears that Diane came to the hospital because she was involved in a car accident, she immediately arranges for a bone specialist, internal medicine, surgical department, and any specialist he can find to take care of him. Victoria got a surprise.

He just twisted his ankle.

Diane obviously came from a rich and powerful family.

But compared to those from such a family, Diane was completely different.

Victoria had seen many rich and powerful people in her life. But he's never seen anything like Diane. Diane was so innocent and kind that her eyes glazed over as she realized she had hurt Victoria.

"I'm absolutely fine," Victoria smiled and gently patted Diane's hand. "You don't have to worry."

After all, Victoria was the one who was supposed to shoulder more responsibility.

"If you feel unwell anywhere, tell your doctor. I'll make sure you're treated well and healed well" Diane said very seriously. "It's all my fault. Normally my husband would drive me, but I wanted to try driving myself today, and I ended up bumping into you."

"I'm too careless."

"Oh no no, it was just an accident," Victoria comforted Diane, as if Diane was injured. "Don't worry, the doctor said everything's fine."

Once they have checked the injury, the specialist makes sure that it is just a sprain and there are no other problems. Diane finally heaved a sigh of relief.

He decides to let Ethan drive from tomorrow onwards. He's a little traumatized now.

"Where do you live? I'll send you back" Diane said as they exited the hospital.

Victoria refused any compensation because she did not want to cause any more trouble. He came to Greencliff to hide, so it's better to hide.

Moreover, this young lady did not seem to recognize him at all.

He had taken off his hat and sunglasses long enough, but Diane did not seem to react at all.

This is despite the fact that she has released several singles this year and she is very popular.

"I'm staying at a hotel." Victoria imagined that there might be others who would recognize her even if Diane did not. He sprained his ankle and could not walk, so it might be safer to take Diane's car instead. "I have to trouble you to send me back to the hotel."

"Sure!"

Diane helped Victoria into the passenger seat, closed the door, and then returned to the driver's seat.

After taking a few deep breaths and preparing herself mentally, Diane said, "Alright, we're off!"

Diane was still a little nervous, but Victoria looked very relaxed and did not look worried at all.

After a while, Diane also relaxed. While waiting at a traffic light, she turns on the music to make Victoria feel better.

"This song is really good and I've been listening to it a lot lately" Diane smiled as she spoke. "I feel that this singer has a lot of thoughts."

Victoria was a little surprised by this.

Radio is now playing his latest song, Wish. Diane likes the song?

But Diane didn't recognize him.

"Oh? How do you know?" Victoria simply turned her head to look at Diane and put on a curious expression that was plain on her face. "What do you think is on his mind?"

"He's not happy" Diane replied. "The lyrics are happy, but I don't think he's really happy on the inside."

Chapter 387

Victoria's heart skipped a beat as she looked at Diane.

He was really unhappy, but no one knew.

She can sing and dance, so many people see her as an energetic, sexy and sexy singer. But she became increasingly unhappy over time because none of this was what she imagined when she entered a competition to become a singer.

"How did you know?" Victoria kept asking.

"That's because I wasn't happy like that either before," Diane replied. "Even though I smile at others every day and I tell myself that one day things will get better, I'm really upset inside, and I even feel hopeless."

Victoria said nothing.

He felt like Diane was talking about it.

The two of them actually had a very similar experience, so Diane could empathize with him, and could even tell him her true feelings from this song.

"But I'm very happy now," continued Diane. "Because the people around me are amazing to me, and make me believe that life is really just going to get better and better. So I'm sure this singer will eventually be happy someday."

Victoria smiled and she knew what Diane was saying.

"Looks like your husband was very nice to you."

"That's right. He's not only good to me, he's even better to my parents."

Diane was a little excited about this, as if she was bragging about her husband in front of others.

But he also feels that Ethan is worth being proud of.

When the car gets to the hotel entrance, Diane wants to help Victoria get out of the car, but Victoria refuses.

"It's okay, I can walk to the elevator. Thank you for sending me back here."

"I bumped into you, but you're actually thanking me" Diane said apologetically.

He took out his business card and extended it. "If you're having trouble, just call me. I'm the one who hit you, so I have to take responsibility for that."

Victoria doesn't want to take a business card from Diane, but it seems like the only person who can understand her feelings is Diane.

He took a business card from Diane and put it in his bag. He nodded, "Sure, be careful on the way. I'll take you to tea sometime."

Diane nodded, "Sure, I'll wait for your call!"

He had a good impression of Victoria. She was very beautiful and seemed to be the same age as him. He is classy and carries himself well too. It is impossible not to like such a person.

Diane left the hotel and arrived at the office.

As he sat in the office, the marketing director knocked on the door and walked in.

"CEO Palmer, we are ready to release our new products. We are thinking of looking for a brand spokesperson, do you have any special requests or requirements?"

Brand spokesperson?

Their new product is a skin care product aimed at young women. So they may have to find someone young and beautiful to be the spokesperson.

He immediately remembered the singer who sang the song Wish. He might fit in.

"Your department can go ahead and decide what's best and discuss the budget itself. If you ask for my opinion, maybe you can ask if the singer of the song Wish is willing to take on this role? I think he should do it. be a great fit."

"certain. Rest assured, CEO Palmer, I will contact the singer now."

Diane was eager to meet this singer. She wanted to know why she felt so sad despite singing such a happy song.

Meanwhile.

In hotel.

Victoria applied the ointment on her ankle and sat on the sofa.

He felt that Diane was a very interesting person. If she knew Diane before becoming a singer, then they would probably become good friends.

But now he's just coming to Greencliff to hide, and he'll be back once everything's settled.

He probably won't have the chance to take Diane out for tea.

He pulled out his phone and dialed his manager's number. It takes a few rings before someone picks up the phone.

"Victoria?" a voice came over the phone.

"It's me. How's everything? Has the company solved the case?" he asked with a little worry.

If this matter had not been resolved, he could not return at all. That Young Master Aker had caused the fall of so many female stars, so if he were to return now, he would definitely be destroyed.

"Solve this case?"

Suddenly an ambiguous voice came over the phone. Victoria's expression changed immediately. That voice belonged to Young Master Aker!

He was shocked and started to panic. His manager was threatened by Young Master Aker?

His whereabouts will also be revealed!

"Victoria, how do you intend to settle this?" The voice over the phone was filled with contempt. "You finally decided to call. Have you found it? Greencliff's? All righty! Victoria, you better wait for me at Greencliff!"

Chapter 388

The other side hung up.

Victoria's face began to pale. How do things get like that?

Even the company can't solve this problem?

That Young Master Aker won't rest until he destroys it.

Run on!

That's the only word Victoria has in mind right now.

He immediately gathered his clothes from the closet and would take this opportunity to leave Greencliff before Young Master Aker arrived here.

Victoria accidentally pushes her purse and Diane's business card drops.

He looked at the business card and froze for a while.

"CEO of Palmer Group, Diane Palmer?"

They did not introduce themselves early because Victoria did not want to reveal her identity, whereas Diane completely forgot due to being too anxious.

But now when Victoria saw this business card and the words 'Group Palmer', she suddenly recalled what her manager had told her.

His manager had told him earlier that Greencliff was known as a forbidden territory and no one was allowed to create trouble in this city. And the most successful company in Greencliff today is Palmer Group, and it is very well known in Greencliff.

He thought about how almost every specialist in the hospital had previously rushed out because Diane had arrived.

That was enough to prove that Diane was no ordinary person.

"Should I ask for his help?" This thought crossed Victoria's mind. "No, Diane is a very kind woman and I can't drag her along with me."

The Baker family was very powerful in Starling City and even the boss of his own company could not get it done. So how is Diane going to deal with it?

No matter how strong the Palmer Group in Greencliff was, Diane was just an innocent and kind young woman.

Dragging him into this matter was just weighing him down. Victoria didn't want to do something like that.

He could not think of much now. He quickly packed up his things and called the hotel receptionist to book a flight for her. But the hotel receptionist told him he was not allowed to book any tickets from Greencliff.

If he couldn't buy a plane ticket or a train ticket, then he couldn't leave Greencliff quickly anymore!

This Baker family went too far!

"Bus then!"

Victoria was really starting to get scared.

Young Master Aker was clearly the type of person who would not let this lie down. He won't stop until he takes Victoria to bed with him.

And no artist sleeping with her also met a good ending.

Victoria's eyes were slightly red as she grabbed her bag and did not even dare to carry too many items. He limped into the elevator and felt nervous and agitated.

What should he do now?!

Elevator reaches ground floor.

Victoria walks to the reception to check out. His hat and sunglasses covered almost his entire face.

Suddenly someone patted him on the back.

"AHH!" Victoria screamed in panic.

The Baker family has sent someone so quickly!

"Oh no, did I scare you?"

He turns around to find that it is Diane.

What is Dian doing here?

Diane's a little sorry. He didn't mean to scare Victoria.

"I'm really sorry about that! I forgot to ask your name and I don't know which room you live in, so I'll have to wait in the lobby" he said with a shy smile. "I just remembered that my friend's club has a new steam massage machine that can help with blood circulation and reduce swelling, so I wanted to take you there. I guarantee you'll be able to walk normally from tomorrow onwards!"

Diane really remembers this.

After finishing everything he had, he quickly rushed to the hotel.

Then she suddenly realized that she had forgotten to ask Victoria her name and also did not know which room she was staying in. The receptionist could not give her this information, so she had no choice but to wait for him in the lobby.

And he actually managed to meet Victoria.

But he seems to be checking.

Victoria's in a daze.

He doesn't think he'll ever see Diane again, and he doesn't believe that Diane came here because she knows a good way to help with her injury.

She wanted to reject Diane's offer when the hotel receptionist suddenly whispered cautiously with an excited face, "You're Victoria Clark?"

"Popular song singer, Wish? Is that Victoria Clark?"

Chapter 389

The receptionist was very excited and quickly took out a pen and paper. "May I..Can I get your signature?"

Victoria Clark's?

The guy who sang Wish's song?

Diane was stunned when she heard this name. He looked at the young lady in front of him whose sunglasses had fallen from his previous fear.

Is that Victoria Clark? Singer of Wish?

Diane felt like the world was too small.

She had just recommended this song to Victoria in the car before, and even said that the singer might be an unhappy person. He suddenly felt like he had made a huge mistake!

Victoria said nothing and simply pressed a finger to her lips to tell the receptionist not to be too noisy. He took out a pen and paper, signed it, and returned it to the receptionist.

The receptionist could hardly contain her excitement, but she remained silent because she knew this was already against company policy. So she quickly helped Victoria to check out.

"You're Victoria Clark?"

Diane's face was slightly red and she was a bit embarrassed to ask.

"That's right," Victoria tried not to laugh when she saw Diane's expression. "I didn't mean to hide it from you."

"I know, celebrities have to keep a low profile every time they come out, otherwise you'll be mobbed by fans."

"But you don't recognize me at all."

Victoria's a little sad. She was quite famous now and even the hotel receptionist instantly recognized her, but Diane had no idea.

Then again, as CEO of Palmer Group, Diane may be very busy. He only listens to pop music in the car and will not have the energy to pay attention to singers or celebrities.

"Diane, thank you for worrying about my injury, but I can't go to the club with you" Victoria went straight to the point. "There's something urgent for me to deal with and I have to leave Greencliff right now. You can send me to the bus terminal."

"Oh? Why are you in such a hurry?" Dian looked at Victoria. He's not stupid. She knew that Victoria was a little panicked and even looked frightened.

"What's going on? Can I help you?"

"Someone wants to hurt me." Victoria knew that Diane was a good person and would not let her go if she did not tell the truth. "I can't offend the other party, and neither can you, so I don't want to drag you into this."

"You can send me to the bus terminal and I'll leave Greencliff soon."

She said it clearly so Diane could understand why she was doing this.

There was no need to offend a person he barely knew. Victoria is sure Diane will make the right decision.

But Diane was surprised.

"Someone wants to hurt you?" His face became anxious. "Are they on their way to Greencliff? Then it's too late if you want to take the bus!"

Victoria had no choice. He wanted to board a plane or high-speed train as well, but the other party had blocked this option.

It wasn't too bad if he could at least take the bus, even though he knew that they would catch up to him easily on the bus.

"I had no choice, it was my only option" Victoria said. "Diane, I'm so happy to see you, and if we get a chance to see you again, I'll have tea with you."

"We can have tea now" Diane said.

Victoria's dumbfounded.

Didn't he just make himself clear enough?

He's in trouble! He's in big trouble now!

Young Master Aker that is not someone that Diane and the company from a small town can afford to offend! That would be the end of the Palmer Group!

"Diane, as I said earlier, you mustn't offend those people. Don't do this because of me..." Victoria was getting anxious.

Diane wants to protect Victoria, so the more Victoria can't drag Diane into this.

"My husband's words!" Diane shook her head and her face was filled with pride, "At Greencliff, there's no one I can't hurt!"

Chapter 390

When Victoria saw how Diane said such domineering words with such a serious expression yet with such a gentle and gentle feeling, she did not want to laugh. Even he was very touched.

Diane is just a girl!

Very soft too!

But he dared to protect her like this.

"Thank you, Diane," Victoria's voice broke slightly. Regardless of whether Diane could really help him or not, the courage to defend her was enough to touch Victoria's heart.

"You don't have to thank me, because you're a good person, too" Diane said. "If you're the bad guy and I bump into you, then you'll be asking me for a huge amount of compensation, won't you?"

Victoria chuckles. He couldn't hold it in at all.

Trying to extort money from Diane?

Diane has decided that Victoria is a good person based on this alone.

Of course, Diane had no idea that no one would dare to extort or cheat Diane of her money, unless that person was tired of living.

Victoria looked at Diane steadily. He looked at the innocent and kind-hearted girl in front of him who remained untainted by this society.

He's very envious.

"Come, I'll take you there!"

Diane immediately escorted them to the Nature Club.

On the way there, she learns about how Victoria refuses to follow the implicit rules of the entertainment industry and slaps the third son of the Aker family, so offended her and that's how she ended up escaping to Greencliff. Diane became even more furious after hearing all this.

How could they bully such a girl?

No wonder she could hear Victoria's unhappiness in her singing.

Diane instantly remembered the time before she met Ethan. At that time, he was still working for the old Palmer Group and had experienced so much intimidation and humiliation. He was annoyed just by thinking about it.

No matter what, she'll help Victoria and she won't let Victoria be bullied!

The car reached the Nature Club and a staff member immediately advanced forward.

"Boss Dian!" greet the staff politely once the door is open.

He is very respectful but not afraid. This surprised Victoria.

"Thank you for the hard work!" Diane nodded and gave the car keys to the staff with a smile, then walked in with Victoria.

"Hello Boss Dian!"

"Hello Boss Dian!"

Everyone who saw Diane would greet her with respect and courtesy, but no one was afraid.

Victoria's a little confused. Diane was definitely not an ordinary person and therefore these people respected her a lot. But usually the subordinates of such people were extremely frightened.

But these people don't look scared at all. They just have respect and they obviously like it.

After a while, he realized that whenever someone greeted Diane, he would not ignore her but also politely nod in response and smile.

He could even call all their names!

Victoria immediately understood why they liked her so much now.

"Hello Miss Tyson, I've brought my friend here to use a steam massage machine" Diane told the staff on duty.

"Sure, I'll set it up soon!" Miss Tyson replied with a big smile. "We received some seasonal fruit this morning, I'll send it to your room."

"Thank you Miss Tyson!"

Diane pulled Victoria into the room that was specially reserved for her.

The Nature Club is huge, and it is the largest recreation club in Greencliff. It is also a place specifically arranged by Tom Foster for Ethan and Diane to rest and relax. The safety and service of this club is the best he has.

"Does this place belong to your company?"

Victoria saw the beautiful interior decoration of the room and she knew that this was a very luxurious place. There are not many places like this even in such a big city.

"It belongs to my friend."

Diane knows this club belongs to Tom Foster.

But he also knew that Tom Foster shared the space under the bridge with Ethan before and was one of his Beggar Sect friends, so he didn't need to be too formal with him. "Help yourself and keep yourself at home, don't worry."

Victoria didn't know to laugh or cry. This place belongs to Diane's friend, but Diane treats the place like hers. This must be Diane's best friend.

The steam massage machine is ready. Both of them lay in massage beds and the masseuse massaged them very seriously.

"Your feet are the most important. Don't worry, Miss Leann's technique is excellent and I guarantee you'll be up and about tomorrow."

Diane turned around and noticed that Victoria still looked nervous. He could not hide the worry on his face.

"Don't worry, it's very safe here. No one can make trouble here."

Ethan didn't say this. Tom Foster said this to him, so he can rest assured and really relax at this club. "I'll call my husband and tell him."

Victoria nodded and slowly relaxed.

She was very grateful to Diane, regardless of whether Diane could help her or not. He has nowhere else to go.

Maybe he can hope to live if he stays here.

Victoria had decided in her heart that if any problems arose and Diane was really unable to help her, then she would not drag Diane with her.

After he sorted through his thoughts, he began to relax. If things were not going to end well, then he might as well relax and enjoy himself now.

…

At the same time.

The Harmony View bungalow estate.

All the furniture is new. CEO Walker sponsored all the items and has chosen the best one. He has also arranged for the estate management team to specifically handle all the cleaning, washing and other services they may need.

When April saw the mansion, her eyes started to glaze over and she could not help but feel in her heart.

"I never imagined that one day, I might be able to live in a bungalow."

He laughed and cried at the same time.

Prior to this, the three of them were still wedged in the rundown apartment that was too cold in winter and too warm in summer. It was a common sight to see insects and mice, and it was easy for thieves to get in. But now they're going to live in such a big bungalow!

"Mom, then you should start imagining now, and imagining as much as you want," Ethan quickly replied with a smile. "It's not just about living in a bungalow. You can imagine yourself on a cruise ship or whatever you want. As long as you want it or you like it, I'll make it happen."

April could not help but laugh on the sidelines of her cries.

"Fool, I'm so old. Why am I imagining too much? I just hope my family will live in harmony and everyone lives well and healthy."

"Mom, what do you mean by being so old?" Ethan asked very seriously. "If you think you're old, then those really old aunts will be very envious of you."

April hits Ethan's head. "You always know how to say good things to me!"

"Tsk, why aren't you my real son."

After a pause, he continued, "But you better be a son-in-law. If you were my son, you might make me die of anger!"

Ethan laughed loudly.

The phone rang and it was from Diane. Ethan picked up and heard Diane's voice on the other end.

"Hubby, I know a friend and someone wants to bully him. Can I protect her?"

Diane asks a little carefully, then tells Ethan what happened.

He was a little nervous, as he had acted out of anger before. So when he started telling Ethan what happened, he felt a little anxious.

When Ethan heard Diane say that she told him earlier that there was no one in Greencliff that he could not hurt, he fell silent for a moment.

This silence made Diane even more nervous.

"Hubby, did I get in trouble?"

"I just wanted to ask you. When did I say something like that?"

"What?" Dian started to panic.

Didn't Ethan say that before?

He remembered he said that! Did he remember wrong?

"I didn't say Greencliff," Ethan replied in a domineering voice. "Remember this well. What I'm saying is, there's no one you can't hurt in THE WHOLE WORLD."
