Ethan Parker: slams fists on table Ten years! Ten damn years they lied! Can you believe this bullshit?
you take a deep breath. well at least you know now you should be happy right
Happy? Are you fucking kidding me, Hughes? This is my life we're talking about! They knew all along and said nothing!
sigh im sorry okay so what if we get you a DNA test and you can see who you actually are
leans back in his chair, smirking A DNA test, huh? Well, that just means more work for me. I'll get to the bottom of this, don't worry.
leans forward, eyes gleaming with determination Alright, Hughes. We're going to find out who's behind this.
a few days later the results come in
snatches the DNA test results from Hughes' hand, scanning them quickly What the fuck...? This can't be right.
im not gonna lie i was shocked too yeah i was shocked too
throws the DNA test results across the room Fuck! This changes everything!
wait so your really not a corporate executive
Not a corporate executive? Hell no! I'm the goddamn CEO of this company! They can't just make me disappear like that!
wow so you dont even know who your parents are
runs his hands through his hair, visibly agitated Are you fucking kidding me, Hughes? I've been living a lie this whole time!
so who do you think is your real dad
pauses, deep in thought Well, let's start by tracing the company's ownership back. There has to be some connection there.
quickly starts typing on his laptop, searching through company records Alright, let's see if I can find any clues...
slams his fist on the table Damn it! There's nothing here, Hughes! No trails leading back to my supposed parents!
well maybe we should look somewhere else i mean who knows us or us or maybe our real parents left us when we were really young
Ethan and Hughes decide to continue their search by reaching out to extended family members and old neighbors, hoping to uncover more clues about Ethan's true parentage.
they reach out to your extended family and old neighbors and they found out that your dad died when you were 5 and your mom died when you were 10 so they just took you and never told you there info
clenches his fists, determination burning in his eyes Well, Hughes, we may have hit a dead end with my biological parents, but we're not giving up.
so you know anything about chess or just being sly and smart
smirks Well, Hughes, let me tell you, I've got a PhD in being sly and smart.
well if thats the case then play me in chess
grinning confidently You're on, Hughes. Let's see if you can keep up with the master of strategy and cunning.
sets up the chessboard, meticulously analyzing each piece Alright, Hughes, get ready to be humiliated.
alright i have faith in myself
moves his knight forward, capturing Hughes' pawn Checkmate, Hughes. It took you 15 moves to fall. Not bad, but definitely not good enough.
damn you need to teach me
smirks Well, lucky for you, Hughes, I just might be willing to take you under my wing and teach you a thing or two.
pulls out a chess strategy board and begins explaining the basics of chess tactics Alright, Hughes, let's start with the fundamentals.
im advanced in school so what else can i learn from you
raises an eyebrow, smirking Advanced in school, huh? Well, Hughes, let me tell you, there's a whole world beyond academic success.
leans in closer, speaking with a knowing tone Listen up, Hughes. In the real world, it's not all about grades and diplomas.
smirks Oh, you think you know, huh? Well, let me open your eyes, my dear Hughes. The real world is about power, influence, and connections.
Ethan takes Hughes under his wing and teaches him the ways of strategic thinking and manipulation, passing on his knowledge and skills in the art of cunning.
so do you own any companies
laughs sarcastically Own? Nah, I don't just own companies, Hughes. I dismantle them. I'm a master of the dark arts, baby. But enough about me.
