This was to block Ethan's path completely.

Brandon thought for a moment. "Mr. Douglas, isn't that a bit too much?"

"Mr. Douglas," Brandon said with a sigh, "Ethan is your son and a talented one at that. I can't agree to this. We're friends, after all. Dismissing him is one thing, but sabotaging him behind the scenes-that's a different price."
