William's party had been a successful blast. It was around 06:00 am when the invited students began to leave the club and head back to their residences.With Andre and Tracy quite drunk as well, William had helped the beauty goddess to her car and he watched as her family chauffeur drove her home. He then got in his car with his best friend who wouldn’t stop talking about Tracy in his drunken state.Luckily, his seven bodyguards had long sobered up and they were able to drive them back home.On the way home, William was dealing with a drunken Andre who wouldn't stop snuggling up to him and calling him 'My sweet Tracy'. It was then he checked his social handles to find that more than a hundred unsaved numbers were the third and fourth-year seniors who had attended his party and were now chatting him up. They wanted him in their social circles.Without a doubt, his popularity was building up really well. The more than one billion dollars he spent last night was working its magic. Despi
Andre stared at Woodruff with slight anger. "Mr. Camillo, I don't know if you recognize me or not, and frankly, I don't give two shits about that." He glanced around the living room. "In case you haven't realized, this is not your estate; this is my house, and I'm not affiliated with you in any way." He gazed at the Camillo bodyguards with the rifles in their hands. "You broke into my condo and messed with it. Now, you have your men pointing heavy arms right at us. This is a murder-attempt case at least. I'd ask that you take your men and get off my property this instance, or my father would make sure that you spend the rest of your life in prison."Woodruff’s smile faded a bit at the way this young man was talking to him. Beside him, Mi-Sun Young had an eyebrow raised as she watched Andre.In reality, Andre has been aware of the kind of person Woodruff is ever since he became friends with William. Right now, the only reason he was so bold to speak his mind is because he was still un
“You started this when your men tried to just kill my friend!” William was seething as he saw those bodyguards of his slowly losing consciousness. Though he was worried, he was glad that they were, at least, alive.Woodruff shrugged in response. “So what if your friend had died? It would have been treated as an insignificant collateral damage.”"Fuck you!" Andre roared at Woodruff when he heard this. "Wait till my father hears about this! Do you think you're the only powerful billionaire in the city?! You better be ready to face the law when I have your ass arrested!"Woodruff was getting ticked off by Andre's threats, so he nodded at the bodyguard holding him. That bodyguard nodded and struck Andre in the back of the head with the broader end of his rifle. Everyone watched as Andre fell straight to his knees."Andre!" William watched in horror as Andre's trembling hand touched the back of his neck to find blood. “Woodruff, you bastard!” He glared at the middle-aged billionaire with h
William had passed out as the beatings he was bombarded with got too much for his body to bear. Following this, he kept zoning in and out of consciousness.In between these hazy moments, he had seen a bunch of people rushing into the condo, and then a pair of strong arms had lifted his body. The next moment, he found himself looking up at the ceiling of an ambulance as he was receiving emergency treatments.The last moment wasn’t as blurry as the earlier ones; or rather, it could be summed up as a dream.He had opened his eyes and saw a woman, who was seated at the edge of his medical bed, looking down at him with the most loving eyes. He quickly recognized this woman as Sarah McArthur, his dead mother. His body had lurched up from his lying position and he had desperately reached out to the woman, only to find her slowly fading away. Until the last moments of her disappearance, she had that charming smile and the heart-filling warmth in her eyes.In reality, the nurses in the ambula
“Yes, Young Master.” Abigail stood at attention. “When I got to Mr. Andre’s condo, I found you and him unconscious, along with the seven bodyguards.”William suddenly interrupted. “How are they? All seven of them, did they survive?”Abigail quickly nodded in response. “Although they sustained heavy injuries and a huge blood loss, they survived. They have been transported back to the McArthur Estate where they will remain during their period of proper recuperation. After that, the patriarch will determine if they are….fit to return to duty.”William furrowed his brows as he picked up on Abigail’s careful use of words right there. He deduced that the so-called ‘will determine if they are fit to return to duty’ might be more dangerous for the special bodyguards than he’s led to believe. He remained quiet though, as he listened to his head of bodyguard’s report."The interior of the condominium was left in ruins when I arrived there." Abigail hesitated for a brief moment. "Young Master, I
Mike cleared his throat as he stood behind the seated McArthur patriarch. “Young Master William, you shouldn’t worry about this. If you’re concerned about the decreased number of your bodyguards, I’m already putting together a much better team to replace the previous ones. I can have them transported over to you in a matter of days.”William clenched his fist. “With all due respect, Head Butler Mike, please, don’t talk about my bodyguards like they’re some robot that can just be disposed of whenever you want.”Mike glanced away from William's face. "I didn't mean for it to sound offensive, Young Master. It's just that these seven bodyguards have failed to do the one thing they were supposed to do best." He sighed with a slight shake of his head. "Young Master William, I need you to understand that you, as the heir, are the most important factor in keeping the McArthur legacy alive, and those bodyguards had failed to protect you.""With the attack Woodruff dealt you, he could have kil
When Abigail revealed that William's house had now been completed, it was amazing news that came at the perfect time. Andre had been simultaneously shocked and confused when he heard the word 'mansion' instead of 'apartment'. He decided to only ask William about it after he had seen their new dorm with his own eyes.Within their next few days of recuperation at Giantic Hospital, William had gotten much better, thanks to Dr. Nina's meticulous treatments. William sent one of his bodyguards to pack up Andre's belongings from the condominium. There was nothing of his there as Woodruff had either burnt or smashed every single thing of his, except for his expensive phone, of course. Even when he was getting beat up by the Camillo bodyguards, the phone remained unscathed as the screen was made of pure diamond while the back was made of gold.bWith things in place, Dr. Nina took a final check on William's health status before finally discharging him from the hospital. Outside the huge health
Right before the two young men's eyes, three vehicles zoomed towards them, smoothly slowing down to a stop as they got closer to them. The most astonishing aspect about these three cars is the fact that the ones on the right and left edges are Lamborghinis while the one in the middle is a beautiful Bugatti La Voiture Noire; these three cars looked exactly like the very ones William had lost because of Woodruff, except they looked newer.William smiled at Andre. “Buddy, welcome to my estate.” He pulled his best friend into a side hug. “It is also known as our new dorm.”Andre's eyes widened as he was in awe and shock. He speculated that this was the case the minute he laid eyes on the luxurious surroundings, but he refused to believe it until he was sure. "William, this place is just as big as my parents' estate." An exhilarated smile spread across his face as he thought of the kind of life he would be living once he settled here.William noticed Andre's expression turn to worry thoug
