and he may not have the funds to spare. The Ethan I know would not part with his money without some form of collateral. If you have anything to offer as collateral, do let me know," Angela fabricated. Cynthia inhaled deeply and replied, "I do not possess any assets that could serve as collateral." Angela exhaled and stated, "That is the only feasible solution. Nonetheless, I can assist you with a sum of two hundred thousand pounds, and I would prefer not to be repaid." Cynthia expressed her heartfelt gratitude, saying, "I am truly thankful; you are exceedingly kind." Angela replied, "It is nothing. What are friends for if not to support one another? I apologise for not being able to provide the full amount you required, but this is all I can offer at present, and I hope you will accept it wholeheartedly." Cynthia smiled, tears of joy streaming down her face as she embraced Angela, exclaiming, "You are incredible! With this money you have given me, the doctor can begin treatment f

perfectly healthy and robust, and the only ailment he occasionally experiences is a fever. Furthermore, his genotype is AA, and his blood group is O positive." "Madam, I kindly urge you to remain calm; it is possible that there has been some misunderstanding. Nevertheless, I am pleased to hear that your son is in good health," Harper stated. "Very well, will he be offered the position?" Mrs. Elizabeth inquired. "Yes, Madam, I can assure you of that," Alfie replied. Ethan was visibly anxious, perspiring heavily and fidgeting. "Well, we must take our leave now. Thank you for your time, Madam," Harper expressed his gratitude. He subtly signalled to Ethan and Alfie, and they exited. However, once they had distanced themselves, Mrs. Elizabeth called her son, Steven. "Hello, my son," Mrs. Elizabeth said. "Good day, Mother," Steven responded. "Um, my son, three gentlemen visited and departed not long ago. They claimed to represent the Department of Health and Social Care and asked m

Ethan declared, "I am unfamiliar with his residence as I have never visited it before." Alfie interjected, "You should contact him to request directions. I distinctly recall the day he came to see you after you were sacked; he mentioned that you could always reach out to him whenever you needed assistance or someone to confide in, as he would always be there for you. I believe this is an opportune moment to take advantage of that offer." "Very well, but what should I do upon my arrival? I am currently feeling quite despondent over the fact that he deceived me, and I am filled with curiosity," Ethan inquired. "Here, take this flash drive," Harper said, handing one to Ethan. "What am I supposed to do with this?" Ethan questioned. "Insert it into Steven's laptop, click on 'Enter', and copy his details," Harper instructed. "That is all well and good, but I do not know his password. How am I supposed to copy his details?" Ethan asked. "Ah, you need not worry about his passwor

"No, I do not; I shall attend to it later," Steven replied. Ethan understood that this task would prove to be challenging, and the only way for him to access Steven's bedroom was through the bathroom. "May I use your bathroom?" Ethan inquired. "Certainly, follow me; I will show you the way," Steven said as he guided Ethan to the bathroom. Before entering, Ethan requested, "I think I will have a chilled beer once I have finished in the bathroom." Steven smiled and replied, "You are amusing; let me swiftly go to the sitting room and retrieve one from the fridge for you." As he departed to fetch the beer, Ethan quickly produced the flash drive that Harper had provided him and inserted it into Steven's laptop, executing the instructions he had been given. He trembled with anxiety, fearful of being discovered by Steven; however, the scan concluded in merely thirty seconds. He promptly removed the flash drive and hurried back to the bathroom, flushing the toilet to create the impressi

It is evident that he was unaware that his laptop would be scrutinised at some point, as it was his personal property. That is why he left your details and files intact," Harper elaborated. Ethan was still in disbelief. "Hold on a moment; what relevance do my files have in this matter?" Ethan inquired. "It is quite straightforward. I am a computer expert, and I assure you that he utilised a programmed flash drive, similar to the one I provided you, to compromise your details and hack into your computer. He executed this in a manner that breached your access, thereby gaining full control of it. This is why, upon login, you were logged out; your files now reside on his laptop because he scanned the entirety of your computer's memory," Harper clarified. Ethan's breathing quickened as he processed this shocking revelation. Harper urged him to inhale deeply, which he did, regaining his composure. "Wait a moment; you mean to say that Steven is the one responsible for keeping Ethan in t

Once Alfie had departed, Ethan collapsed onto the floor, weeping uncontrollably, and cried out at the top of his lungs, “No! Why me!” Ethan continued to cry and eventually fell asleep on the floor of the sitting room until dawn. The following morning, Alfie awoke and prepared to go to work, having accomplished the objective. However, he wondered where Ethan might be, having not seen him in the bedroom. He descended the stairs and discovered Ethan sleeping on the floor. “Gracious God, this individual is truly heartbroken; just look at how miserable he appears. I wish there were something I could do to help him regain his job,” Alfie mused to himself. He attempted to rouse Ethan, but his efforts went unnoticed. “Awaken, mate. You should go inside and rest; you appear quite dishevelled,” Alfie remarked. Ethan ignored him. Alfie shook his head in sympathy before leaving. Meanwhile, Angela was experiencing sleepless nights filled with restlessness, acutely aware that something was

the most ingenious strategies I have ever encountered. However, what motivated you all to undertake such a risky mention?" Angela queried. "One fateful day, I visited Harper at his cyber café, where a man entered requesting assistance. He explained to Harper that he had been unable to access his laptop since the previous day, which mirrored the issue I faced the day before I was framed. After some time, Harper informed the man that his login details had been compromised and that his laptop had been hacked. I then relayed to Harper that I had experienced a similar login issue, to which he responded that my computer had also been hacked. That conversation sparked the investigation and mission," Ethan elucidated. "Hmm, I am somewhat curious. Given your close friendship with Steven, what prompted you to investigate and gather information on him?" Angela inquired. "Harper made a statement that resonated with me," Ethan replied. "And what was that statement?" Angela questioned. "H

might provide some comfort." Jessica rolled her eyes again, then took a seat. "Very well. My name is Jessica," she introduced herself, extending her hand. "I am Ethan," he replied. "Pleasure to meet you, Ethan," Jessica responded with a smile. "The pleasure is entirely mine," Ethan said courteously. "Would you mind if we engaged in conversation?" Jessica inquired. "Not at all," Ethan replied. "Alright, so what brings you here?" Jessica asked. "Well, as you can see, this is a bar, and I am here to relax and enjoy a drink," Ethan laughed. "I understand, but you do not appear to be someone who is actually here to drink and relax," Jessica observed. "Oh, really?" Ethan questioned. "Yes," Jessica confirmed. "If I do not seem like someone here to drink and relax, how do you perceive me?" Ethan asked. "Well, you appear to be someone who is somewhat bothered by something," Jessica replied. "Indeed, I am, but I am more than slightly bothered; I am genuinely troubled," Ethan admi

not yet aware that I have discovered he was the one who framed me,” Ethan replied. Alfie appeared perplexed. “I am not clear on this; have you ever been kidnapped?” Alfie questioned. “Haha, no, that is not what I meant. What I intended to convey is that her narrative mirrored mine in terms of being framed. She recounted her story in such a way as to persuade me to reveal that I had identified who framed me, but I did not succumb to her ploy,” Ethan chuckled as he explained. “It is prudent to exercise caution in your interactions with others, as you cannot be certain who may be opposed to you or who might be plotting something sinister,” Alfie advised. “Certainly, since I uncovered the identity of my adversary, I have been exceedingly wary of how I engage with others,” Ethan acknowledged. “That is wise. By the way, have you heard from Harper since his last visit?” Alfie inquired. “Not particularly. I intend to call him later or perhaps visit him around noon,” Ethan replied. As

also aware that Cynthia wished for her relationship with Ethan to falter, but she was determined to prevent that from happening. "It is alright, my dear, I trust you. Additionally, there is one more thing," Angela said. "What is it?" Ethan inquired. "I would like to meet her, and I am curious as to why you referred to her as your mischievous friend," Angela requested. "Very well, you will meet her. However, she expressed a desire to meet you as well and insisted that I introduce her to you in that manner. Your questions were rather unexpected, so that was what came to mind. Indeed, she is quite a humorous individual," Ethan explained. "Wow, so you have even arranged for her to meet me?" Angela asked. "To clarify, my dear, it was entirely her idea, not mine. She intended to meet you one day, but I dissuaded her because I did not wish to hurt your feelings or cause you any distress. I assumed you would not want to meet her, but since you have insisted, I will inform her," Ethan re

exclaimed in astonishment. "Yes," Cynthia smiled in response. "I do not understand; why am I seeing Ethan with another woman on your phone? Furthermore, how did this video of Ethan come to be in your possession?" Angela inquired. "Well, I recorded him last night when I spotted him with the lady," Cynthia confessed. Angela then chuckled and said, "I cannot believe what I am witnessing; this video must be edited." "Dear friend, awaken to the reality. Open your eyes and be wise. Observe this video carefully: Ethan entered an apartment with another woman yesterday, and you assert it has been edited? Why would I take the time to alter footage of Ethan with another lady to present to you? If you wish, I can escort you to the location where I observed them," Cynthia explained. Angela felt a wave of disappointment. "There is no need to go there; I believe you," Angela said sadly. "Who knows what transpired within that apartment? I waited for an hour, yet they did not emerge," Cynthia

"You are welcome," Jessica replied. Ethan continued to admire her apartment, unable to contain himself any longer, and complimented, "My goodness, your apartment is stunning and appears quite expensive." "I am flattered," Jessica said with a smile and a wink. "However, this apartment seems rather extravagant for a teacher whose salary does not justify such a lifestyle, yet you manage to afford it," Ethan conceded. "Hold on a moment, what are you implying?" Jessica giggled. "What I am suggesting is that you are not merely a teacher," Ethan stated. "Then what do you believe I do?" Jessica challenged. "I cannot say for certain, but you are undoubtedly not just a teacher," Ethan declared. "Very well, I see you require proof. Please hold on, and I shall return shortly," Jessica said as she went to retrieve her lesson notes and the textbook she uses for teaching. "This serves as proof of my profession; here are my lesson notes and textbook," Jessica stated as she handed them to him

him goodnight and ended the call. "Was that her?" Jessica inquired. "Indeed, it was. She called to ensure I was safe given my current predicament," Ethan explained. "Why did you not inform her that you were with your mischievous friend?" Jessica bit her lip and asked. "Lady, there is a time for everything," Ethan replied as he sipped his beer. "Do you love her?" Jessica probed. "Yes, I truly do, with all my heart," Ethan declared. "Is she aware of the depth of your feelings for her?" Jessica inquired. "Yes, she is," Ethan affirmed. "Well, I hope she reciprocates your affections," Jessica stated. "She does, for if she did not, she would have left me the moment I revealed that I was sacked and that all my possessions, including my bank account, had been seized," Ethan explained. "Oh my goodness, are you saying the bank confiscated everything from you?" Jessica asked, her concern evident. "Yes, that is correct," Ethan replied. "That seems excessively harsh! Being fired was s

As soon as they contacted my father for ransom, the security personnel he had dispatched came to my rescue, apprehending all the kidnappers except for Melody," Jessica explained. "Why was she not apprehended?" Ethan asked. "She was not present at the scene; it appeared she had hidden herself and was observing the situation unfold. To this day, she remains unaccounted for," Jessica clarified. "Remarkable! You mean she simply vanished?" Ethan asked. "Yes, she did. I suspect her disappearance was part of her scheme to make me believe she was not involved. It later came to my attention that she was the one who had orchestrated the initial robbery attempt before she 'rescued' me," Jessica stated. "She certainly possesses considerable acting skills. If you were to encounter her now, how would you respond?" Ethan inquired. "Honestly, I would not retaliate. I am not a malicious person, despite my privileged background; my upbringing instilled in me values of integrity and respect,

employs many teachers, and I only teach biology—there are no other subjects involved," Jessica explains. "Very well, I trust their salary compensates you adequately for your time?" Ethan inquires. "To be honest, I would not say their salary is commensurate with my time, but it is manageable given the lack of employment in this country. At the very least, the salary I earn allows me to cover my expenses," Jessica elaborates. "Hmm, that is reassuring; at least you are not idle," Ethan remarks. "Indeed, I detest idleness, which is one of the reasons I accepted the teaching position at the independent school. Even if the salary is not ideal, it is preferable to being idle and begging for sustenance," Jessica concedes. "I appreciate your perspective; I admire individuals who are passionate about meaningful pursuits," Ethan expresses. Jessica expresses her gratitude, "Thank you, I appreciate that."
