Crystal Cove was the most expensive villa district in silverbank City, at ever ten thousand dolla (per square foot. It was the most expensive villa district in Silverbank city. Those who lived here were either incredible wealthy, highly intuential, or both.
At this moment, a sleek black Mercedes G Wagon rolled past the gated entrance after a thorough security check. “sir, what brings you to the Walker family?” Th driver glanced at the approaching destination, finally raved to his curiosity, and asked.
“I’m here to look for my family,” Ethan replied calmly.
What?” The tires screeched as the driver slammed on the brakes, shouting Ethan a stunned look. “You’re joking, right? You could’ve told me you were here to rob the place, and I’d believe that but claiming to be family to look like an idiot to you?”
“Yourdo,” Ethan replied without missing a bral
The driver tell silent. Normally, no one dared speak to him that way, Only Ethan, this countryside boy, dared to do so. However, there was something about Erhan’s unwavering composure that made him besitate.
“Listen, sir. I don’t know what kind of stunt you’re trying to pull, but let me give you some advice since we’ve shared ar
La ride. Every year, doors and hundreds of people show up at the Walker family’s door claiming to be their lost son. Most are hoping to cozy up to Salverbank City’s wealthiest family and strike it rich.
“If you’re here with the same idea, you’re better off naming around now. In the best case, you’ll get thrown out. Worst case, you piss them off and end up in and trouble” He wasn’t trying to scare Ethan Similar cases had happened in the past.
The Walker family had been secretly trying to locate their lost soul. It was all good at first until many opportunists tried to impersonate Marcus long–lost son Their patience eventually wore thin. The people with the same idea usually ended up in real trouble.
“Relax, fast focus on
Just focus on driving. What happens has nothing to do with you, Erhan said nonchalantly.
It had everything to do with him. It was Donovan Hughes who brought Ethan here. He would be the first to get dragged into it if things got blown up
He held his tongue, muttering silent complaints under his breath as he restarted the engine. Before long, they arrived at their destination, Crystal Cove Villa No. 1, the Walker family’s residence.
“We’re here,” Donovan announced.
“This is huge!” Erhan stepped out of the car and froze. The villa towered impressively with five stories, each level standing 16 to 19 feet high. The front yard alone was massive, valing the size of the sprawling estates up in the mountains. It was large enough to park dozens of cars comfortably.
“You think this is huge? You should see their estate on Brightcrest Hill,” Donovan scoffed.
“How big is it?” Ethan asked. He struggled to wrap his mind around the level of wealth of his family. He even wondered if his mentors were mistakers. If his family was nich, how did they manage to lose him in the first place?
“At least ten times of this size!” Donovan replied.
“Ten Testimes? No wonder they were known as Silverbank city’s wealthiest family. Their residence alone screamed extravagance.
While Ethan was still mesmerized by the place, Donovan pressed the doorbell. Moments later, a bodyguard appeared to unlock the gate.
“You’re finally here, Don! Did you bring the goods? Ms. Walker is losing her temper
Gor it right here! Something happened on the way, and I got held back” He quickly retrieved a sealed box from the back seat, cradling it like a treasure, side was

“I’m Marcus‘ son!” Ethan said with confidence.
Ethan wanted to continue speaking before Donovan hastily covered Ethan’s mouth. “No, no. He’s just a helper brought along to find the Genlo!”
“I’m not a helper. I’m here to find my family.” Ethan answered in confidence.
Shrugging off Donovan’s grip, Ethan repeated timly, “Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Ethan, and I’m the son that Marcus lost years ago.”
A heavy silence fell over the room. Serena stared at him for a long moment before letting out a slow breath.
My sister is gravely ill. I don’t have the time or patience for this nonsense. Since you came with Donovan, I’ll let you leave quietly and pretend this has never happened,” Serena said.
To Serena, with the resources and manpower of the Walker family, they would have located their long–lost son long ago. To be blunt, after all these years, it was likely that the brother she had never met had already starved to death out there.
Normally, she might have been in the mood to check and verify the identity of the stranger. However, today, she couldn’t muster the energy. After all, even if she did verify him, it was likely that he was an imposter anyway. It would be a waste of time and effort.
“Ms. Serena, something’s wrong. Quick, call the ambulance! Your sister’s condition is worsening Time is running out! Simon’s voice came urgently, instantly sending a jolt of fear through the room.
