From Scorn to Throne: William Anderson's Journey 123
Since last night, Vera had been unable to sleep. The threatening text message had been bothering her. She woke up in the morning in a sluggish state, making some of those closest to her anxious. However, she assured them that she was fine.When she arrived on campus, Sarah was surprised by Vera's arrival. At first, she thought Vera wouldn't go to campus until she was fully recovered.When Vera sat down on her usual seat, Sarah immediately approached her, "Why are you on campus?" she asked in a worried tone.Vera responded casually, "I'm bored at home. Besides, I don't want to miss too many classes so I can graduate quickly."Sarah felt heavy seeing Vera's condition. "You should have told me you were going to campus. So I could pick you up."However, Vera just shook her head. "I can go with my dad. In fact, if I wasn't sick, I could have taken the bus."Sarah could only sigh at Vera's explanation. She felt worried, but she knew that Vera was a strong and independent woman.After a whil

William caught Vera's limp body before she fell again. "Will?" she asked with a sad look and trembling body.Willliam nodded. "It's me. You're safe now."Vera nodded slowly. William noticed a small bottle lying not far from them. There was something suspicious about it. Without wasting any time, he immediately contacted Evan."Evan, pick me up at Maple Street, near the ice cream cafe. Something's not right here," he said in an urgent tone."Yes, Sir. I'll be right there," Evan replied.Next, William, with great care, helped Vera who was still shaken by the incident. He gently guided her to her feet, supported her weak body, and invited her to find a nearby bench. The silence of the night was only accompanied by the sound of footsteps and the wind, which added to the discomfort.After finding a safe place, William sat beside Vera who was still trembling. "Try to calm down, Ver," William whispered.Vera would try. Under the dim streetlight, Vera looked at William with teary eyes. Her

William would not stay silent. Someone had threatened to pour acid on Vera, this was no longer something to be taken lightly.William's mind was racing. Who could be the person with such evil intentions? If she dragged William into her plan, could it be Merida? Well, William knew she had become obsessed with him since she knew he wasn't the loser they knew him to be. It could also be that she is one of the company chairman's daughters that William has been matched with. While they may look elegant and educated, their fathers are quite powerful and have a lot of money. It could be that one of those girls was also reckless. Then, another suitable suspect would be the men Vera rejected. It is still very possible that they were also involved in this. Robert, for example. He really liked Vera. Moreover, Robert's feelings have been much longer. In fact, before William realized that he also liked Vera, Robert was the first to pursue the girl.Really. There are many names, who might be sus

"Evan, what are you doing!" exclaimed Louisa, feeling harassed by Evan's actions.Evan looked at Louisa and tried to explain that she needed to be cooperative. Otherwise, Evan might have to take more decisive action. "Ms. Houston, you'd better be patient. Mr. Anderson will talk to you."Louisa felt trapped. She was sitting in the back seat of Evan's luxury car. She felt like a kidnap victim and she was furious."I can't accept being treated like this!" complained Louisa.Evan just smiled and continued their journey. He knew that Louisa probably wouldn't be happy about what he did, but this was the result of her own actions.Besides, if Louisa was innocent, she shouldn't be afraid to prove that it wasn't her who tried to pour acid on Vera. She should have been able to argue when asked whether she was involved or not.As the daughter of a conglomerate, Louisa would certainly not be alone when going anywhere. There are many bodyguards watching over her. That's why when Eavn asked Louisa

William gave instructions to Evan and the other bodyguards. "Take good care of Louisa. If she rebels or resists, simply contact David Houston and cancel all future cooperation plans. Also, tell him what his daughter has done," he said in a firm voice."Of course, Sir," Evan replied, although in his heart he felt uncomfortable with the order.Louisa, who had been silent, now looked at William with a sharp look. "You'll regret treating me like this, William," she said in a hateful voice.William seemed not to hear. He turned around and left the room without a word, leaving an angry Louisa behind.In front of the villa, the guards were on standby. They had heard Louisa's screams and knew the tension inside. However, they also knew their limits. Evan, who had brought along a few extra bodyguards, managed to de-escalate the situation. They all knew that without a direct order from Louisa asking to be rescued, they could only wait and obey William's orders.Evan looked at Louisa with a gaze

William's workspace is filled with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. Sunlight streams in through the large windows overlooking the city, giving a warm color to the predominantly gray room. On the desk, various documents and laptops were scattered about."Sir, have you thought about the challenge again?" Evan's voice broke the silence.William turned his head, his sharp eyes staring at Evan for a moment before returning to his laptop screen. "Yes," he replied curtly. "I want to see how far he'll go against me."Evan looked worried. He looked at William with a serious expression. "Sir, I ask you to think again."William took a deep breath, then looked at the window. The reflection of his face appeared on the glass, showing a calm, but tense expression. "Actually, I was going to use another method," he said, his voice low. "Unfortunately, Max challenged me to a fist fight instead.""Sir, you can't even box," Evan said, his voice full of worry.William smiled slightly, looking at Evan t

Louisa observed William from a distance. The man was confident enough to dare say that to her. Louisa moved her fingers anxiously, dialing Max who should already be here. Her cell phone screen displayed Max's name flashing, but he didn't pick up the phone immediately. She stared at her phone screen, waiting, amidst the growing hubbub of the crowd."Huh, come on, Max!" Louisa growled, her voice almost drowned out by the crowd's cheers. "Are you running away!"After several attempts, the call finally connected. Louisa spoke immediately without pause, her voice filled with anxiety. "Max, where are you? Why haven't you shown up yet? Didn't you say you were ready to fight William?"Max, in his low, calm voice, cut her off. "Lou, don't talk so much." He continued, "Here I am at the front."Louisa immediately turned to the entrance of the arena, looking for any sign of Max's arrival. Sure enough, Max's figure appeared from behind the door, walking confidently towards the ring. The girl smi

In a tense atmosphere, William, Lucas Anderson and David Houston met in the office's private room. In the room, there is the smell of freshly brewed coffee, creating an atmosphere that contrasts with the serious topic they are talking about. A projector was turned on and a video began to play.David, with his greying hair and tired-looking eyes, stared at the screen in confusion. "What is it?" he said in a choked voice, as if trying to swallow a fact that was hard to accept.William, with a calm face and sharp eyes, answered, "It's Louisa's confession about her attempt to harm Vera."Hearing that, David looked shocked. "There is no way my daughter would do such a despicable thing!" he exclaimed, in an adamant tone. His face was pale, and it was clear that he was devastated by the news.Meanwhile, Lucas Anderson, William's grandfather, was the oldest man in the room, his hair completely white and the lines on his face showing his age and wisdom. He said nothing, just watched the video
