"Be careful!" Harper exclaimed as he dragged Ethan to the side of the road.

Startled, Ethan began to breathe rapidly.

Harper inquired, "What is troubling you so deeply that you would risk your life? Are you aware that you nearly got hit by a car?"

Ethan lost his composure and collapsed into tears, akin to a child, seated on the ground. In his distress, he recounted to Harper how he had been framed and subsequently dismissed from his job.

Though Harper was unfamiliar with Ethan, he felt a profound sense of compassion for him.

"I am truly sorry to hear that you lost your job, but you must not consider taking such drastic measures. Your life is far more valuable than any position you have lost.

I must say, I now believe you; you were right about her from the beginning. All she wanted was my money, nothing more,” Ethan elaborated. “Ethan, please calm down. You are overreacting. We both know how much Angela cares for you. I believe you should answer her calls and allow her the opportunity to explain herself. Although I am quite upset with her, I recognise that your current state has clouded your judgement; this too shall pass,” Alfie reassured Ethan. “If only I could discover who has betrayed me, it might provide me with some solace. Even if I do not regain my job, I will ensure that I exact my revenge on the individual responsible, making them suffer more than I have,” Ethan lamented. “Come here, my friend. I can see you ne

    What is happening here, and why are you posing such an absurd question?" Anna retorted rudely.

Ethan remained silent until Steven promptly inquired, "What do you plan to do regarding the individual who has framed you?"
