Ch-16 Cousin

Ashley's POV:

Ethan stands beside me, and just his presence alone is enough to not only surprise, but completely unsettle the shareholders and directors. They begin whispering amongst themselves, clearly confused by the unexpected turn of events.

"Is that really Ethan Johnson?"

"Why is he here with her?"

"Is there an arrangement that we don't know about… is he here to support the girl?"

"But how is it possible, it is Ethan Johnson for God's sake! It's said that once a business catches his interest, he can even revive it from the grave."

"Yes, that's why many failing companies are seeking his help, even at the cost of his ruthless conditions. But then, why would he agree to help Ashley?"

It is clear that even they are aware of the influence and capabilities of Ethan Johnson, which means things aren't looking too good for them now.

His reputation precedes him, and the fact that he is standing next to the person they had been mocking only moments ago, makes them visibly uneasy.
