Chapter 613: Ethan's True Identity

Brandon gave a nod. "Maybe Mark ain't as slick as we thought. Dude's just a chicken. We spooked him, and he sang like a canary to save his own skin."

Ethan looked deep in thought, keeping his mouth shut.

He always had this gut feeling that things weren't as cut and dry as they seemed.

If Mark was just some regular guy, he wouldn't have stuck around someone like Howard for so long without getting caught, and he sure wouldn't have earned Howard's trust.

Not just Howard, even Claire trusted him enough to hand over some serious evidence. Calling Mark a coward? Ethan wasn't buying it.

But whatever Mark's game was or who might be pulling his strings, it didn't matter right now. The priority was dealing with Howard.

"Donations are rolling in, but where's the Raymond Group's big boss?" someone piped

up.

Others started chiming in. "Is he showing up or what?"

"Who knows."

Claire scanned the room and then looked at Brandon. "Mr. Russell, we're not exactly strangers anymore, right?"

She'd pulled out all the stops to get Brandon on her side.

"Of course not." Brandon nodded, flashing a smile.

"Why didn't you tell me someone's pulling the strings at the Raymond Group?" Claire hissed through clenched teeth.

She was fuming, blaming Brandon for keeping her in the dark.

"Don't take it personal. We're just doing our jobs. If the boss says zip it, we zip it," Brandon said with a grin.

Claire's face turned beet red, and she let out an angry huff.

She didn't care anymore who the real boss of the Raymond Group was; she just wanted to take down Howard.

Howard sat there quietly, watching folks line up to donate.
