Chapter 91
A gust of salty sea breeze blew in, making it almost impossible to keep my eyes open.
When I finally managed to make out who the person lying on the ground was, Lucy beside me was already cheering: “Ethan won! Oh my god, he’s amazing Yvonne, where did you find someone this incredible?
1 gave a faint smile. “Marlon introduced him.
“Marlon?” Lucy raised an eyebrow, her mind momentarily wandering
Looks like Marlon really cares about Yvonne. But I still think Dylan’s more Yvonne’s type, Lucy thought to herself.
was clean–cut and handsome, not from an especially prestigious family, but he didn’t get involved in shady stuff
The key thing was that Dylan’s love for Yvonne was pure, which was more valuable than anything else
Kum, lying on the ground, clutched his chest, his mouth moving as he spit out a bloody tooth
By now, the wind had died down, and that tooth gleamed under the light, almost mocking Kurt for his incompetence.
Kurt gritted his teeth and slowly got up, glaring at me with venom. “Mrs. Parker, is this how you do things? You haven’t even said a word, and already had your people beat the up!
“What did I do wrong? You should have given me a heads–up
Lucy snorted, then snapped. “You knew the boss was coming, but you didn’t bother to welcome her? You made her wait for over twenty minutes. Do you think that’s okay!”
“All this over that?” Kum scoffed as he wiped the blood from his face and spun in a circle, showing the onlookers his bloody lip
He added. “I was just dealing with some things. Mrs. Parker, you really went overboard here. How are we supposed to work for you??
The crowd of staff who had gathered seemed to take Kurt’s side, murmuring in agreement.
Seeing I was silent, Ethan stepped forward and landed another punch on Kurt, knocking another tooth loose.
The air was filled with gasps of surprise
This time, Kurt was stunned, and his anger shot up in a flash.
Just as he was about to retaliate, Ethan quickly subdued him with a grab, slamming him to the ground, with Kurt’s face now facing me.
Finally, I spoke in a calm, measured tone. “If you don’t want to work for me, then you can leave now,
At that I shot Ethan a look, and he released Kurt.
Still in shock from losing two teeth, Kurt sputtered. “Leave What… what do you mean?”
Lucy couldn’t help but burst out laughing at his strange accent due to losing his teeth. “It means you’re fired. You can get lost now.
Lucy had no patience for people who bullied others, especially those who disrespected Yvonne,
Kun was clearly caught off guard by my sudden action, frozen in place.
It wasn’t until several seconds later that he spoke again. “Mrs. Parker, are you really firing me? What’s the reason? I’ve worked hard for Pax Oceana for years, and this is how I’m repaid? I won’t accept this.”
His outburst stirred the crowd of onlookers, who started voicing their opinions. “Yeah, why is he being fired just like that Mr. Conway’s such a good guy. What did he do wrong“”

I narrowed my ry
Ethan stepped up to me and spoke in his usual emotionless one. “Give them money. I take care of the rest,”
The moment he spoke coldly, the murmurs in the room vanished completely.
Everyone was stunned. No one dared to sprak out again.

They had all just witnessed Ethan’s skills. If even Kurt couldn’t handle him, they sure didn’t stand a chance
Even Lucy’s jaw dropped
Wow, Ellan is that powerful! Lucy thought
I couldn’t help but laugh. It seemed that with enough money, nothing was really a problem.
However, there’s no need to do that now,
“It’s just to have them all quit. It’s not life or death.” I said slowly, each word making the room fall even quieter…
Kurt was the first to lose his composure. He bared his teeth and shouted, “Why should we quit? We’ve been doing fine! There are employees here with families to feed. What do you want them to do if you fire them?”

Lucy, no longer as confident, tagged at my sleeve nervously. “Yonne, what should we do? They’re about to revelat It’s just the three of us. We’re at a disadvantage. Should I go get reinforcements!”
“No need.” I shook my head lightly. “Having more people doesn’t necessarily mean you’re right
With that, I took out the official documents for the cruise ship from the file folder.
Take a good look. This is Xander’s personal signature, transferring Pax Oceania to me. The contract is clear as day. Starting today, I am the owner of this cruise ship.
“If you don’t want to leave, then you’d better follow the rules and do your job. Anyone who has a problem with that can leave right now,” I said, my voice firm and resolute
I handed the documents to Ethan and motioned for him to present them to the staff one by one for inspection.
Kum, seeing the little spark of rebellion he had managed to stir was about to be snuffed out, grumbled bitterly “You’re not even a part of the Parker family.
“We don’t recognize you. Unless Mr. Parker himself
It was clear now that he was trying to make things difficult for me

was a deliberate attempt to undermine my authority.
“Damn it. What a petty little man, Lucy muttered, voicing what I was thinking
Just as I was about to respond, a deep, cold voice echoed from the other side of the deck
“She is my wife. Her words are my words” said Hayden.
I looked up, narrowing my eyes involuntarily.
The tall, imposing man strode toward me, his long legs eating up the ground, walking into the sunlight with ease.
Flis natural air of authority made everyone around us instinctively lower their heads and hold their breath, not daring to look at him for too long. But as I gazed at the cold man, there wasn’t the slightest stir of en

În contrast to my indifference, Lucy, who stood beside me, couldn’t help but lift her chin thoughtfully. “Why is Hayden here? Is he really here to help you

Hayden who used to never care about anyone but himself… now he’s actually concerned about Yvonne? Lucy thought in surprise.
“He’s helping the Parker
Tamily’s reputation.” I scoffed, never once considering that Hayden would do anything for me

“No, I think he’s helping you…” Lucy insisted.
