Chapter 126

At that moment Ethan's heart raced as he processed the butler's words, his eyes widening in shock and disbelief.

"The old master himself?"

he said to himself, his mind spinning with the implications it might resolve into.

immediately a wave of panic washed over him, and he felt sweat beginning to bead on his brow. "Please, let's not be Steve Benjamin,"

he silently prayed, his hands trembling slightly at his sides. Anyone else would be fine, not Steve, and the thought of being exposed in front of his coursemate sent chills down his spine.

"I can't let them find out,"

he muttered under his breath, his voice barely above a whisper.

The idea of Steve Benjamin recognizing him as the person linked to the new owner of the estate, they had recently sold made Ethan's stomach twist with anxiety. "What if he asks me about the Godly Investor?"

Ethan said to himself, his heart racing as he envisioned the worst-case scenarios.
