As the days stretched into weeks, then months, before accumulating into the period of a year, William only got better and better. By December, William was no longer a senior. This officially made him the intern with the shortest period at this conglomerate. This came as no surprise to anyone though, considering his past achievements.“Damn! To have someone like that handsome young man as a family member is a close friend. William Chain is simply too good to be true.”“According to what I know, he will be twenty-seven. Holy shit, that guy hasn’t even finished his studies yet. I heard he’s currently going to be in his final year by January.”“Forget the whole graduation from university shit! Even if this dude stops studying, he still has nothing but a life of luxury ahead of him. The point of bagging a college degree is to show people that you’re fit to work in a certain industry. William Chain doesn’t need this at all. Not when he has such a long array of achievements to show for his
“Grandpa, I want to take the McArthur business empire and branch it out into the Middle East.”Billiard raised an eyebrow at his grandson. “Are you sure about this? I know for a fact that your proposition isn’t based solely on the business aspect of things. Your special lady is there, in the arms of Muhammad Usman’s son, right? That’s your main goal here.”“For now, yes.” William nodded, washing no breath to come clean to his grandfather. “It’s about time I beat her back home with the people she loves.”“But she’s a heiress, William.” Billiard gazed warmly at his grandson, understanding the situation the young man was in. “She has a duty to the Parker family and she’s willing to sacrifice herself for it.” He shook his head. “That is an admirable trait in her.”“That doesn’t mean that she deserves to live a horrible life this.” William quickly replied to his grandfather before calming himself. “The thought of her being pressured to marry that bastard……” He halted his words for a brief
Two months later,“It has been almost two years, Camilla. Why on earth do you still refuse to marry me?!” Muhammad Bashan Khan was furious as he paced back and forth within living beautiful palace. Camilla was seated on a luxurious sofa in the wide room, simply looking out the window. “I…..I just don’t think it’s the right time.”“Then when is the right time, god damn it?!” Bashan Khan looked like he was starting to run out of patience. “When the fuck are you going to be mine.”“I am not yours, Bashan!” Camilla yelled out with frustration as she got up. “I have never been yours and you know it! I have never lived you!”“Watch your words, woman!” Bashan raised a finger at his fiancee with fury evident in his eyes. “It’s because of him, isn’t it?”Camilla stared at the angry Arabian man before looking away. She knew he was talking about William. “This is not about him, Bashan. This is about us. I don’t love you.”“But I do love you.” Bashan walked forward to grab Camilla by the shoulde
“A code red?” Bashan whispered to himself as he got off of Camilla. “A code red with the Parker family is only possible if the members of your family elders and the patriarch himself are present.” He spoke these words while gazing down at Camilla. “What’s going on?”Camilla glared up at her fiancee, the hatred swimming just beneath her eyes. “I have no idea.” She then got up and gathered her ripped dress, heading to her room to change. “But if it’s a code red with my family, then I have to be there as the heir to the empire. I’m going with you.”About an hour later, the engaged couple arrived at the estate that had been purchased by the Parker family after the engagement between Camilla and Bashan Khan had been finalized. True to their words, they did find the elders of the Parker family and Camilla’s parents showing up there.Usually, the private estate would only be occupied by the head of the branch of the conglomerate being established in the Middle East. As for Camilla’s parents,
Before Bashan Khan could turn his angry attention to his fiancee, Mariona King spoke up. “Young Lord Bashan Khan, if you read through that file, you will understand why we’re taking this chance with the McArthur Conglomerate I rr the Arab Coalition. No matter how many years we spend here post-establishment of the branch, we will always be considered outsiders. We accepted the deal with the McArthur Conglomerate also because it gives us so much advantage in our homeland. Business-wise, I hope you truly understand.”“Lies!” Bashan Khan quickly countered as he glared at Camilla’s parents. “I refuse to believe any of this until I have proof.”That was when a different voice reached everyone’s ears, pulling their attention.“Then what about me as proof? Is that enough for you?”The voice made Camilla’s heart tremble as she recognized the overly familiar tone. Praying to the heavens that she was not hallucinating, she slowly followed the direction everyone else was now staring at to find a
“Hey!” William suddenly clapped his palms at Bashan Khan’s direction. “You seem to have a lot of pent-up anger. You’re in desperate need of venting out. How about another match? The last time you fought me, I was not at my best, which is unfair.” He then pointed at Bashan Khan. “You and I, a wager duel, right now.”Bashan Khan calmed down once he heard these words and he let out a laugh. “You want to fight me? Sure, no problem! But the wager better be worth it.”William went right to the point. “If you win, I have the authority to nullify the McArthur’s business agreement with the Parker family. That way, the Parker family will have no choice but to give in to your demands. In other words, they’re all yours.”“William, what are you saying?!” Camilla was shocked at William’s words. Then William stared at her with an ominous gaze, containing a silent message that she quickly understood. William was urging her to trust that he knew what he was doing.Bashan Khan didn’t catch this, though
It turns out that those who had arrived with William were actually Abigail and over thirty McArthur bodyguards disguised as businessmen and women. Abigail and her team suddenly dashed forward, catching even the special soldiers off guard. Abigail and her team moved towards the soldiers with pre-planned tactics. They quickly weakened these soldiers before injecting something into their bloodstreams. This led to every single one of Bashan Khan’s soldiers screaming in pain before they fell straight to the ground unconscious.“Wha…. What’s happening?!” Bashan Khan gazed around at his fallen soldiers in utter shock before turning to William. “What did your bodyguards do to my soldiers?!”“They simply returned the favor. Or have you forgotten what you did to my bodyguard when you attacked my club estate?” William gazed annoyingly at Bashan. “I’m simply giving you a taste of your own medicine.” He sneered.Bashan Khan had lost miserably. His men were down and he couldn’t physically fight W
A week later, Camilla confronted William about his true identity, gathering a lot of clues from all she knew following her rescue from the Middle East. That night, William confessed his true identity to Camilla as the grandson of Billiard McArthur and the heir to the business empire. Everything finally made sense to Camilla, but she promised to keep William’s secret.Months passed by once again and graduation was getting closer. It was around this time that Woodruff decided to bring his twin sons and daughter into the company as executive figures. Unfortunately, he couldn’t do this without the McArthur family’s approval, as they owned a significant portion of his company. Therefore, a meeting was scheduled.The Camillo family had no idea that this would be the day things would be revealed.They arrived at the McArthur estate and were led to the patriarch’s office after waiting for so long. Finally, they got in to find…..“William, what the fuck are you doing here?!” Wilson glared hat
