From Scorn to Throne: William Anderson's Journey 131
Last night, William returned to the dormitory. Given that it was late and his friends were tired, they didn't ask many questions and William was able to go straight to bed. His friends Sebastian, Andy, and Andrew already looked tired and almost asleep. They turned their heads for a moment as William entered, staring at the bruises on his face, but no one asked any questions.The next morning, he managed to avoid his friends from being asked.However, the real challenge came when he had to meet with Vera. She knew Vera would immediately notice the bruise on her face. And sure enough, when they met in the campus cafeteria that morning, Vera's smile faded instantly at the sight of the bruise on her face."What happened?" Vera asked in a worried tone, her eyes staring intensely at the bruise on William's face. She was quite worried, and William knew he couldn't avoid this question anymore.William tried to give a simple answer. "Oh, this? I fell last night, nothing serious." He tried to

Gracia did not notice William who was standing not far from her. With a serious look, she continued her conversation. "No, Dad, you don't have to worry. I've arranged everything so that this business can run smoothly."William, who was still hidden from view. The question of who 'he' was that Gracia mentioned kept spinning in his head. Suddenly, Jim's voice broke William's reverie, "Mr. Anderson, do you still want to continue to see the location of Golden Karaoke?" Jim, a director who today accompanied William to see the results of their business renovation, seemed enthusiastic about continuing the day's agenda.Gracia, now aware of William's presence, felt her heart rate increase. She hung up the phone and looked at William who had met her gaze, a feeling of awkwardness mixed with anxiety filled her mind, wondering how much William had heard.To avoid an uncomfortable situation for Gracia, William chose not to ask about the content of the phone conversation. With a calm and professi

Gracia was forced to act stupid like this. On the one hand, she was forced and didn't want to do it. On the other hand, she had no choice as she had to help her father."William, you look handsome tonight. Are you always this handsome every time you go out?"William furrowed his brows. He wondered himself about the girl who seemed to be a bit over the top. However, before William could ask her a question, Gracia had already linked William's arm with hers, then invited him along.Gracia's actions this time certainly attracted the attention of many people. William pin asked her, "Grace, what are you doing?""William, am I not allowed to hold your arm?" Gracia was being more aggressive and her spoiled voice was getting more and more contrived. Honestly, William's first impression of Gracia was that she was a nice and energetic girl. However, for tonight her attitude was a bit too much."I don't want to be rude with you. But, please just let go of your handler because I already have a gir

Tania immediately woke up to see who the man talking to her was. She was surprised to find out that the man was Viston Woodley. The son of Albert Woodley, a big investor who also joined the business. He was quite handsome with his sharp gaze and stern face. However, he was not at all a friendly person to joke around with.How unlucky. Tania had miscalculated to the point that she had to fall on Viston's lap like that. How stupid of her. Now she was the center of attention of the few men who were there including William and this was very embarrassing for her."Mr. Woodley, I'm sorry." Tania tidied up her appearance then she apologized for her attitude just now. "I accidentally fell."Instead of responding immediately Viston gave her a look that was difficult to interpret. He said, "You seem to have planned this on purpose or are you looking for attention from one of us?"Suddenly, the men looked at each other and tried to stifle their laughter. It was all because of Viston's smartass

"William, I--"William raised his hand to stop Gracia who wanted to speak. "You don't have to say anything."Gracia looked at Viston and reflexively the man pulled Gracia to stay close to him, as if emphasizing that he wanted to protect the girl. William saw the gesture and he smiled to himself at it.Viston stood with a serious expression, admitting that he was responsible for their presence in that place. "Gracia's not wrong, I forced her to come here," he said.The situation should not have caused laughter. Yet, somehow, William couldn't help his quiet chuckle. His voice was enough to catch the attention of Gracia and Viston, who were now staring at him with confused and slightly disturbed looks.William, realizing his mistake, immediately offered an apology. "Sorry!" he said, his hands immediately raised in a defensive gesture. "I didn't mean to laugh at you guys."Gracia, quick to act, released Viston's hand grip and made a small dash towards William. "Young Master Anderson, what

Tania met someone who gave her medicine, which would be useful to bring her and William closer together. The man didn't mention his identity, just said he wanted to be called Mr. X."Well. Mister X," Tania said when they met at a cafe that was located a little far from the city where Tania lived. "Can you guarantee that the potion you gave me will be useful later?"Mr. X was wearing his mask, quite mysterious, not showing his identity. Tania could only recognize him by his voice and the code they had agreed upon."Just put a drop of this liquid in his drink. I'm sure she'll be horny for you," Mr. X said.Tania held the bottle of liquid, then looked at it intently before she looked back at Mr. X."But you can guarantee it, can't you? If this isn't there, won't there be any side effects?""Take it easy, Miss. I can guarantee that this medicine is very safe.""Alright." Tania put the medicine into her bag. "If it's poisonous or dangerous, I won't just let you go."Mr. X nodded with a smi

Evan, took the Maine Coon cat William found to a nearby veterinary clinic. The cat appeared weak and needed immediate help. At the veterinary clinic, the cat was received by an experienced veterinarian. With deft hands and a compassionate heart, the vet began to give the cat the care it needed. The cat received a physical examination, medication, and nutritious food.Evan waited patiently by the cat's side, hoping it would recover soon. He was relieved that the cat was now in good hands and getting the care it needed. Unfortunately, there was one thing Evan couldn't avoid, his allergy to cat hair. Throughout his time with the unnamed cat, Evan sneezed many times. Worst of all, his nose was red and itchy. The veterinarian, Liliyana by name, asked Evan, "Is this your cat?"Gesturing, Evan replied, "This is not my cat. This is a street cat that I happened to bring here."Liliana smiled, "Sir, that's very kind of you. Bringing a street cat here for treatment, while you yourself seem to

He yelled as he pulled Choco, the cat, off Tania's body. The cat's claws still stung Tania's skin.Tania was almost driven mad by the sudden attack. She looked scared and confused.William managed to calm Choco in his arms. The cat seemed to calm down under his treatment."Why did you attack?" William asked Choco, as if the cat could answer.Tania with a pale face and disheveled hair pointed at Choco, "Whose cat is this?""She's my cat." William answered without hesitation."Your cat?" Tania was surprised, "Since when did you have a cat?" She looked confused and curious about Choco's whereabouts.Actually, William also did not expect that he would get a cat. This happened by accident because he suddenly liked the cat and Vera also loved it very much. "I just got her yesterday. I found her o

Sarah talks about this as a bad thing about William.When Vera tries to get William to join them, Sarah gives her a concerned look.Jordan says, "Vera, you should divorce your husband."Vera furrowed her brow. "Divorce my husband?""That's right, Vera," Sarah continued. "You're so heartless to stay married to a husband who has already displaced your mother from her former position."William smiled at that. He said, "Sarah, my mother-in-law got a higher position if you must know. Anyway, I did it because I thought it was time for JL. CORP to do better and for my mother-in-law to rest and enjoy the

Amanda went limp, she was unsteady. Fortunately, Vera caught her before she fell."Mom, are you okay?"Amanda just shook her head slowly.

I hope that from today I will be well received. Ple

"Wow! Isn't that the latest Bugatti that costs so much?" Stephani exclaimed as she saw a Bugatti parked in front of her office. A man got out after the car door was opened by the driver."Hey, isn't that Evan Nolan?" Deborah asked as she pointed at the man who had just opened the car door for William.Stephani noticed again from the upper floor where they were watching the handsome man who had just gotten out of the car. "Oh my, isn't that Ms. Vera's husband?" "Ms. Vera's husband?" Deborah asked with her eyebrows knitted together. Then, she chuckled, "Huh, I don't think that's possible. How could Ms. Vera's husband come to the city office in such a nice car. Who does he think he is?""I don't know, but look again," Stephani pointed out the window. "That is indeed Ms. Vera's husband.""Huh, is it really him?" Deborah asked again. "If it is him, what is he doing here?" Stephani shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know. This is bound to be big news."While they were talking about William

The Rolls-Royce that William gave to Vera yesterday was in the name of Grand Street Commercial, not in the name of Vera or William. Meaning, they were using the company's inventory, not their own. That's what Sarah thought.Sarah laughed at that. She almost thought yesterday that they were so rich that they could own a Rolls-Royce."Huh, apparently it's just a company owned car." She poured him a glass of orange juice.Jaiden thanked his wife before he responded to her. "Huh, I expected that. How could an unemployed man like William give such a luxurious gift."Sarah sat in front of her husband, enjoying breakfast as well. "I'm still curious how William was able to get everything so easily. I remember that he gave my grandparents quite an expensive gift and now he can still give Vera a luxurious surprise. I'm quite curious how he was able to capitalize on all that."Jaiden thought about this too. "Hemh, he must be bragging right now and proud that he was able to fool his wife with tho

"Sarah are you taking me home?" Vera asked her cousin who was still stunned from the shock of just hearing William talk about Rolls-Royce."Yeah, sure." Sarah prepared to drive Vera home. Along the way, she only watched Vera who looked happy and nervous at the same time whether her husband really bought a Rolls-Royce.She drove the car at high speed and they arrived faster than William expected.Sarah and Vera finally arrived at the apartment. They got out of the car and walked to the elevator.As soon as the elevator doors opened, they walked to the parking lot. William was already waiting there, smiling broadly. He invited them to walk further into the parking lot.Sarah and Vera's eyes were immediately drawn to an elegantly parked car. It was a shiny black car, with a striking 'RR' logo on the front. It was a Rolls-Royce.Sarah almost froze, unable to believe that there was such a thing as a Rolls-Royce.But that didn't mean it was Vera's, did it?Vera looked happy. She approached

William was checking his work from the apartment. He received some good news, the Rolls-Royce he bought yesterday was ready to be delivered to the apartment, they were on their way.He hasn't said anything to Vera yet, still wanting to keep this as a surprise."Will, I'm going to the salon today, with Sarah. Is that okay?" Vera asked. She wasn't ready because she didn't think William would let her.It wasn't about him being possessive. Rather, it was about Sarah, who would usually tease Vera, making the atmosphere uncomfortable at times."Yes, you may." William agreed without further ado. "Have you chosen a good salon?"Vera mumbled for a while. "Uh, I don't think so. Sarah hasn't said anything about which salon she'll choose either.""Wait here for a moment!" William asked Vera to wait then he sent a message to Evan asking where a good salon was for Vera to get a treatment.Evan replied quickly with the name of a good salon. William checked it out over the Internet and he thought i

Today, William is in his office to find out how their business plan is progressing.Sean Montgomery said that Lucas Anderson also liked the proposal that Vera had made. Every number listed there and what it was used for seemed realistic.Actually, there are other companies that are also good at doing business proposals. However, since William had strongly agreed to propose his wife to get into this company and also they were competing with his own mother-in-law, Lucas sided with William this time and gave his grandson a chance to prove to his in-laws that he could be a good son-in-law."Your grandfather has agreed to this and I've also told your mother-in-law to agree to your request to appoint Vera as director."William smiled. "What did my mother-in-law say when you called her yesterday?"Sean shrugged his shoulders slightly, "She didn't say anything, just went along with what I told her to do."William raised one corner of his lips. That was good, he had expected that his mother-in

Sean Montgomery is ready to say who will be working with Grand Street Commercial. However, he is still holding back his announcement. Sean didn't give a reason why he was still holding back. However, Amanda got an invitation to meet with William."Well, while I was waiting to hear from Sean Montgomery, it was surprising that my son-in-law asked to meet." Amanda said that in a sarcastic tone.Two cups of warm and fragrant lattes were soon served on the table. William, who had just arrived, immediately raised his cup, inviting Amanda to make a toast. Amanda looked at him for a while. She felt it would be rude to refuse, so she raised her cup."Mrs. Lyn, sorry to interrupt your busy time," William said with a serious face.Amanda only responded indifferently, "You should work so you know how to respect time!"William just smiled, unfazed by Amanda's words."Well, drinking a latte to put you in a better mood, I guess borrowing fifteen minutes of your time won't bother you, right?" William

Vera has finalized her business proposal she submitted to the Grand Street Commercial company. However, William received other news that was no less surprising."I received two proposals from JL. CORP," Sean said as he called William."Two proposals?" William, who received the news, raised an eyebrow. "Who sent the proposals?""One in the name of Vera Lyn, your wife and the other in the name of Jhonas Rivery as the vice president of the company."William furrowed his brow. Why did Amanda plan this? Hadn't it been agreed that Vera would represent their company in the tender this time.Hemh, it seems that Amanda is secretly trying to cheat William and violate the agreement they have made.Hemh, but this is not a big deal. Because, William is the main character who controls all of this."Then you just accept both of them, during the presentation we will see the proposal that best fits our company's criteria.""Alright, Sir. I will do as you ask."Vera came out of the bathroom. Several ti
