Chapter 567: Ethan and Howard Begin Their Confrontation

Why the heck would she go abroad?

She busted her butt to get all this stuff for Daniel, and now she was jetting off? Was she nuts?

Daniel's jaw dropped, but he couldn't get a word out.

"I'm doing this for you," Claire sighed.

Daniel shot up from his seat, breathing hard like he'd just seen a ghost. "Before you do stuff for me, can you at least ask what I want?"

He didn't want to be outdone by Ethan and was ready to pull some tricks to beat him, but murder? That was a whole different ball game.

"What do you want? To be on top and crush Ethan, isn't that it?" Claire was a bit ticked off. She knew her son better than anyone, so why were they arguing?

Daniel clammed up, not saying a word.

His mind was a total mess.

Outside the conference room, Ben Anderson came out to greet Ethan personally. The second Ethan showed up, all eyes were glued to him.

Daniel was like a forgotten shadow in the corner, watching the dazzling Ethan, who seemed born to steal the spotlight.

He used to feel like a nobody next to Ethan. Then he started to hate and envy him.

He kept telling himself the only reason Ethan had it better was 'cause he was born into the Douglas family, the heir and all that.

What was Daniel missing?

Where was he falling short?

Among his peers, he was always a standout.

His grades were solid, and without Ethan, he wouldn't be seen as second-rate.

But because of Ethan, he was always in the shadows.
