CHAPTER 11
“Everyone, I have some interesting news.” Scarlett said as she walked into the living room.“I think I’ve found a way for us to secure a meeting with Asher Knight.”“Really what is it?” Sophia asked with growing excitement.Scarlett sat down on the sofa opposite Fiona. “I heard from Franklin Seth who just secured a deal with Knight Industries that Asher Knight is interested in a painting by the artist Ricardo.”Sophia had a confused look on her face.“Okay. What does that mean?”“He said if we are able to get it and deliver it as a gift, we could maybe secure a meeting with him.” Scarlett explained.Fiona sat up. “But won’t other businesses know about it and try to get the painting as well?”“Franklin Seth said he hasn’t told anyone else about it and will be willing to keep it a secret.” Scarlett told her.A smile formed on Fiona’s face. “If that is true we can’t afford to meet this chance.”Scarlett felt really excited. If she could get her hands on that painting, she could finally ge
CHAPTER 12
Scarlett clenched her fists. What game was William playing? How could someone like him have $100,000? She wasn't planning to spend more than $70,000 on the painting but now William had raised the bid to $100,000. Scarlett bit her lip. She had to get this painting to gain Asher Knight’s favour. “105,000 dollars.” William smiled. He knew Scarlett was stubborn and this was exactly what he wanted. He wanted her to go in a bidding war with him. “$120,000.” William called out. Scarlett frowned. “$130,000!” William put in another bid. “$250,000” Everyone gasped in astonishment. Who exactly was this man going toe to toe with Scarlett Grey? Scarlett couldn't believe what she was hearing. William had nearly doubled her bid. However, this was her golden chance to meet Asher Knight. She couldn't let it go. She called out another bid. “$300,000” The auctioneer couldn't believe his ears. A sale of $50,000 would have been a good sale but $300,000? That was outrageous! Willi

Scarlett was over the moon and couldn't hold her excitement. Asher Knight had agreed to have a meeting with her. Everything had to be perfect. She had picked the most expensive restaurant in all of Crenshaw City for their meeting. THE BOULEVARD RESTAURANT. Some people had to wait months to get a reservation there but Scarlett booked out the whole restaurant, she didn't want anyone disturbing them. Scarlett sat at a table constantly checking her watch. Finally getting the chance to meet Asher Knight made her feel a bit nervous. She heard the sound of the restaurant door opening and quickly stood up ready to welcome Asher Knight. However, to her disappointment, it was William who walked in. An angry look formed on her face. “You! What are you doing here? Are you Stalking me?” William scoffed. “Stalking you? I am simply here to have dinner.” Scarlett grabbed h

William stepped into Zerano Couture, the most exclusive high-end fashion boutique in the city. This was the kind of place where the wealthy came to show off their status. For an ordinary person, the price tags on the clothes would make them dizzy. A few years ago, William wouldn't have dreamed of walking into a store like this. He wouldn't even be able to afford a pair of socks. When he stayed with the Grey family, they would spare no expense in getting the best clothes. However, for him, they would give him clothes that even the cleaners wouldn't wear. They didn't let him forget his place. He was casually flipping through a $50,000 tailored suit when someone bumped into him. “Oh. I'm sor-” The lady was about to apologize before she stopped abruptly.
CHAPTER 15
The Luxe Royale Club was the kind of place where only the richest, most powerful figures in the city gathered. William sat in a private booth sipping a glass of whiskey. He didn't wear anything flashy, he just wanted to relax without being disturbed. The calm environment was disrupted by a loud voice on the other side of the room. “Haha! You should’ve seen his face when I outbid him on that Ferrari. Classic!” William glanced over. The guy making all the noise was Logan Pierce, a well-known businessman with old money and an even bigger ego. He was dressed in an overpriced Brioni designer suit and a gold Rolex. Around him were beautiful girls and his group of lackeys which helped to feed his ego. He was the kind of guy who believed money made him untouchable. Logan had always had a thing for Scarlett and initially wanted to marry her but was angr

The dealer shuffled a fresh deck and dealt two cards to each player. Logan smirked as he glanced at his hand, then casually pushed $200,000 in chips forward. “Let’s start small.” William matched the bet without hesitation. “Sure.” The dealer revealed the first three community cards—the flop. Logan’s eyes flickered with excitement. He smirked and quickly slid forward $500,000 in chips. “Feeling lucky.” William took a sip of his whiskey, barely paying attention as he matched the bet. “Let’s see.” The turn card was revealed. Logan’s confidence grew. His smirk widened. He leaned back, then shoved forward $1 million. “All in.” Gasps spread through the club. Logan’s friends grinned widely, already celebrating. William stared at the chips for a moment before shaking his head. “Not yet.” He folded his hand, surrendering the round. Logan chuckled as the dealer pushed the winnings toward him. He had just taken $1.7 million from William. Now, Logan’s stack had grown to $6.7
CHAPTER 17
“Thwack! Thud!” Each strike echoed through the gym, the bag swaying side to side. Sweat rolled down Damon’s head as he launched shots at the punching bag. Being the No. 1 boxer in Crenshaw city didn't come easily . Brandon, Damon’s manager, strolled into the gym with a grin on his face. “Champ! See you're getting the work in.” Damon grabbed a towel wiping off the sweat on his muscular body. “Do you have any new fights for me?” Brandon smiled. “I think I might have just gotten you the biggest paying fight of your life!” Damon raised an eyebrow “How much?” Brandon paused before speaking. “300 million dollars!” Damon’s mouth dropped. The highest he had ever earned from a boxing fight was 15 million dollars. “Who's offering that much for a fight and who will I be fighting? Perez?Conner?” He asked, unable to hide his desperation. Brandon sat back in a chair. “It's not even any of the big names.” “I heard he's a newbie boxer with 0 fights. He's just backed up by really
CHAPTER 18
“Are you crazy?!!” Scarlett fumed after Damon informed her about his fight. “How can you risk all that money? To fight William?” Damon frowned. “Why are you so angry? It's an opportunity for me to teach that street dog a lesson and earn a good amount of money.” Sophia entered the conversation. “I agree. He can easily take down William.” Scarlett grumbled. “I don't feel comfortable about it. I feel William is planning something. He must still be holding a grudge against us.” “Just because you were made Chairman doesn't mean you get to tell the rest of us what to do!” Damon shot out at her. Scarlett sighed out loudly. “Why are you being so stubborn? I'm just trying to be careful.” “Don't worry about it. I'll take care of him.” Damon said confidently before walking out. “Any luck with Asher Knight?” Fiona asked, changing the topic. A sad expression quickly formed on Scarlett’s face as she melted into the nearby chair. “Nothing. Ever since the incident at the restaura
CHAPTER 19
Damon adjusted his robe as he strode confidently into the dressing room where William was waiting. William sat on a bench, calmly wrapping his hands as he prepared for the fight. Damon chuckled. “I still can't believe some rich idiot is throwing away $300 million on you.” William remained silent as he finished wrapping the tape on his right hand. Damon took a step closer. “Hope you enjoyed whatever training you did, cause it won't matter. You're just a joke. You're not even in my league.” Still, William didn't say a word making Damon feel a bit uneasy for a brief second. “You're scared aren't you? Don't worry. I will knock you out fast. I might even let you land a punch just so you can say you at least did something before I knocked you out.” Damon said trying to taunt him. William's lips curled slightly, but it wasn't a smile. It was something darker. He still didn't say a word. “I hope you have insurance because you'll need it.” Damon chuckled as he walked out. Thi

“Snap!” The loud crack echoed through the ring. Blood gushed down Damon's brow. He stumbled back, reaching to his face. He struggled to breathe, gasping for air. It was all just too much for him. William came at him again. A hard right hook to his jaw sent two of his teeth flying into the air, the pain ringing in both ears. Damon had barely registered what had happened when another thunderous punch landed on his temple. He fell onto the ropes, his vision blurry as his head spun. He wasn't even sure where he was anymore. The Grey family held their hands over their mouth terrified at what was happening to Damon. “Still standing?” William said with a mocking tone as he stood over him. Thoughts ran through Damon's head. “How can I lose to this thrash? This nobody? I am Damon Grey. I can’t lose to scum like him!” Damon summoned all the strength he had and launched a sharp left hook at William. However instead of hitting William, he walked into a punch to the liver. Damon opened
