Godly Investor: A Hundred Trillion Dollars For Investment And Donations

As Billy and his father approached Ethan, the tension in the room was palpable as everyone turned to them.

some of the people recognize Billy.

immediately his father stepped forward first, his face etched with remorse and filled with desperation.

"Ethan,"

he began, his voice trembling with emotion, knowing his life is in the hand of a kid.

"I cannot begin to express how deeply sorry I am for my son's actions. What he did to you was unforgivable, and I take full responsibility for not raising him better. Please, I beg of you, find it in your heart to forgive us, for my sake and that of his young siblings."

immediately he bowed his head, his hands clasped together in a humble manner. But Ethan remained unmoved, his gaze fixed on Billy.

He couldn't believe Billy's father thought that just because of his apology everything would just disappear. He almost lost his love because of Billy, if not for the kind old man and the system, he wouldn't have been here today.

"With all due respect, sir,"

Ethan said, his voice calm but firm, "it's not your apology I need to hear. It's Billy's. He's the one who wronged me, and he's the one who needs to make things right."

Upon hearing what Ethan just said Billy's father's eyes widened, and he turned to his son with a look of desperate urgency.

"Billy"

he hissed, his voice low and intense.

"Apologize to Ethan. Now make sure he forgives you, if not you know what is coming your way."

Without wasting any more time Billy stepped forward, his face pale and his hands started shaking. He knew he had wronged Ethan so badly, and it would be difficult to get Ethan forgiveness.

"Ethan!"

he said, his voice barely above a whisper.

"I... I'm sorry. I never should have treated you the way I did. I was wrong, so wrong, to bully you and lie about the kettle because I was scared of what lady Madison might do to our family. I swear, I'll never bother you again. Please, forgive me."

However Ethan just shook his head, his expression unreadable as he gazed at Billy with deadly eyes.

"I don't believe you, Billy,"

he said, his voice as cold as ice. "You're only apologizing because your father is making you. If you really meant it, you would have done it a long time ago and the manner in which you just said it isn't convincing enough."

He glanced at his watch, then back at Billy.

"I'll give you three minutes."

he said, his voice calm but firm. "Three minutes to prove to me that you're truly sorry. If you can't do that, then I won't forgive you. Not now, not ever, I don't care what you have to pass through."

Upon hearing what Ethan just said Billy's face crumpled, his mouth started shaking, as he didn't know what to say, he bowed in shame.

His father who has been keeping quiet knows the situation has gotten beyond Billy alone, he needs to join to save himself.

His father joined him, and together they began to plead with Ethan, their voices rising in a desperate chorus of apologies and promises.

The rest of the room watched in stunned silence, their eyes wide with disbelief, they didn't know what was going on.

First Damian and his family, now Billy and his family - two of the most arrogant, entitled young men they had ever known in school, brought low by Ethan the good for nothing kid.

After what felt like an eternity, Ethan held up his hand, silencing the groveling father and son. "Enough,"

he said, his voice ringing out across the room, also he doesn't want to be seen as a bully, Billy wronged him but at the same time he gained something in the process, knowing his family and the system, for that reason he's going to let go.

"I'll forgive you, Billy. But only on one condition."

He turned to Billy's father, his gaze as sharp as a knife.

"You must give me your word."

he said, his voice as hard as steel, "that Billy will never come near me again. If he does, if he so much as looks at me the wrong way or points at me in school, I will take action. And believe me, you don't want to know what that action will be."

upon hearing what Ethan just said Billy's father nodded frantically, his face as white as a sheet.

"Of course!"

he stammered, his voice shaking with fear.

"Billy will keep his distance from you, I swear it. You'll never have to worry about him again."

Ethan nodded, then turned and walked out of the restaurant in the middle of the chaos.

As he walked past his teammates they all started leaving the way for him.

As he stepped out into the cool air, he pulled out his phone and dialed lady Madison's number.

"Grandma,"

he said, his voice warm with affection.

"It's done. I have forgiven Billy and his father."

Lady Madison's voice was soft with pride; she thought Ethan Would want to take revenge on them, and she was ready to support him but instead he forgave them.

"You did well, Ethan"

she said, her words filled with love. "I know it wasn't easy, but you showed true strength of character. I'm so proud of you."

Ethan couldn't help but smile, his heart swelling with happiness knowing he's finally getting a happy life he once prayed for.

"Thank you, Grandma,"

he said, his voice choked with emotion.

"I couldn't have done it without you."

They talked for a few more minutes, making plans for Ethan to visit the mansion that weekend which Ethan agreed to.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

As he hung up the phone, Ethan felt a sense of peace wash over him. He had faced his demons today, and he had emerged victorious.

Ethan left the place and headed to the school.

Not long after he arrived with a cab, but as he turned to head back to his dorm, he saw a familiar figure waiting in the parking lot all alone. It was Serenity, her face pinched with worry and fear.

"Ethan,"

she said, her voice trembling as she approached him.

"I hate to ask, but... do you have any money you could spare?"
