Manager Jeremy nodded his head. “Thank you, Big Boss.” He allowed a moment of silence to pass through the room in order to properly gather his thoughts. “It all started about a week ago. Till today, I still can’t understand how things escalated so fast to this point. It’s almost like those people wanted this to happen to the club estate. It was like a set-up, and my workers and I were the bait.” He had a grave expression on his face as his gaze went off into the distance of nothingness. The memories were coming back, and it clearly haunted him.William’s cold gaze didn’t diminish. “Manager Jeremy, who are they?”Manager Jeremy’s focus was brought back to William’s face. “The chairman of one of the biggest companies in Bel Air City – the billionaire called Woodruff Camillo. He wasn’t alone, though. He was in the company of a woman called Veronica Parker.”“Veronica Parker,” William repeated that name as he brought his gaze down briefly, quickly going through his memories of names.
Manager Jeremy continued where he dropped off. “But then the next night, they sent a bunch of people, reserving the club mansions. From Club House No. 9 to No. 12, Woodruff and Veronica reserved them for the next three days. Even though I felt something was amiss about this, they had paid the appropriate amount for these reservations, and I saw no valid reason not to take these reservations.” He brought his unharmed hand up to massage his temple a headache starting to form. “Big Boss William, I would have never accepted these reservations if I knew things were going to end up like this. Please, believe me.” He got no response from William and so he continued with a defeated sigh. “After that first night, Veronica and Woodruff stopped showing up. Instead, a bunch of ominous-looking people showed up in their stead. I even had to confirm with Mr. Camillo himself before allowing them access to all four high-tier clubhouses. As per the rules, whatever was done in these clubhouses was left
“I decided that it was best to speak frankly.” Manager Jeremy continued. “By the end of the week, I found that the Sand Club Estate was getting fewer customers. After a bit of digging, I learned that scandalous news was being spread within the higher circles by those two. By the weekend, I invited the two partners in crime for a private meeting. They surprisingly agreed. It was there I revealed that I had the footage of every crime that their associates committed on their behalf at the club estate. I gave them an ultimatum: to take full responsibility for the damage they had brought down on the club estate and my employees, paying full reparation for the crimes committed. Their refusal to do that will inevitably lead to me having to take this issue to the court.”Abigail shook her head when she heard the narration to this point. She, along with those who knew how truly snake-like Woodruff Camillo could be, knew that Manager Jeremy had made a grave mistake here. He had mistakenly give
Manager Jeremy was very worried about his big boss. William had strictly ordered him to invite Woodruff Camillo and Veronica Parker back to the Sand Club Estate, which was still in ruins. Still, the club manager understood that this was a simple mission his big boss was entrusting him with. He had the remaining bouncers and workers relocated as a lot of them had apartments at the club estate. It was evident that more than forty percent of both the bouncers and other employees were living off of the home that the club estate provided them.At the Camillo headquarters in Bel Air City,“So that son of a whore finally garnered the courage to meet up, huh?” Woodruff was chuckling as he was sitting behind the wide desk in his office. On the other side of the desk, is a smartly dressed woman.“Yes, Mr. Camillo. The message we got gave a time at which the proposed meeting will take place.” The woman in a smart-fitting suit is one of the secretaries to the chairman of the Camillo business
The day after he issued us an invitation to Woodruff and Veronica, William arrived at BAU to find that the university’s various news outlets now had him in the headlines, his secretly owned club estate in particular. The BAU students were, expectedly, going crazy over this unexpected piece of news.“Oh, my fucking goodness! I could have sworn that I knew all that there was to know about William! How the hell did the fact that he is the owner of The Sand Club Estate not reach our ears until now?!”“I know right?! I’ve been to that luxurious place at least five times this month. And that’s because I have more classes than usual, and I had no choice but to decrease my visitation! So how on earth did I never know that it was owned by our coursemate this whole time.”“Guys, I’m still struggling to wrap my head around this. The Sand Club Estate is arguably the number-one nightclub in the entire city! It is also the fastest-rising club in terms of popularity! Do you know how much profit
“But wasn’t their social power already falling into the pits at the time? I recall that William was already gaining popularity at the time. There were multiple videos of him, and each one was trending for days. There were also situations whereby William faced the Camillo twins, and he beat them publicly, humiliating them in front of their peers. On the night that we attended the invitation to the club estate, don’t forget that the Camillo twins ended up getting banned indefinitely as well, along with Donald’s babe, Ayra Brown, at the time.”“That’s true. I’m guessing that’s why they didn’t dare tell everyone what they knew.”A lot of BAU students were clearly interested in this piece of news, including putting the puzzle pieces together. Meanwhile, William was seated in an empty classroom, away from all the bustling gossip currently filling the faculty building’s atmosphere. He wasn’t alone though. Andre, Tracy, and Camilla were in front of the seated young man as he explained eve
Camilla’s frown deepened as she briefly stared down at the ground beneath her. “William, I can’t stop you from meeting my aunt, but I can warn you to be very careful of her. Based on what you told us, I’m certain that she has taken your invitation as a threatening one, and she’ll be coming with some powerful backup.” She allowed a moment of silence. “William, you don’t know this, but our family….um…has a lot of dark secrets, including dark hidden weapons. Unfortunately, I can’t give you the specifics of this hidden weapon.” She then placed her hands up. “Trust me, it’s not that I don’t want to tell, but that I simply can't. There’s a tight and very difficult criteria that a member of the Parker family must meet before they’re privy to these secrets. Unfortunately, despite being the heir to the family’s business empire, I haven’t met the criteria, so I don’t know much. Aunt Veronica, on the other hand, not only knows these family secrets but I heard from my father once that she also h
William arrived back at The Sand Club Estate an hour before Woodruff and Veronica arrived there.“Young Master, they’re here.”William was seated in the meeting room with two McArthur bodyguards behind him. “I see. Kindly lead them here. I’m sure they know their way though.” He tapped on his in-earpiece, which he was using to communicate with the McArthur bodyguard who had just relayed the information from the Sand Club estate’s main gate.When Woodruff and Veronica were allowed into the club estate, they didn’t come alone. There were two large trucks with them and a convoy of twelve black jeeps right behind them. The two were seated in the rear seat, looking out at the unchanged condition of the club estate properties.“He hasn’t done anything to clean up this mess? That’s quite unexpected.” Woodruff frowned as he gazed out the tinted windshield on his side.Veronica chuckled as she heard those mumbled words. “He’s probably raking up his savings for the renovations.
