The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates An exquisite piece of art
“What are you doing?” Kiara questioned as she struggled to understand what was happening. “This man is a pauper!... He can't even afford a full three-square meal. What lies has he told you?”Dennis glared at her. “Just shut up and stop talking. I'm still not done with you.”Kiara trembled as she backed away while Harold took the opportunity to slip away.Once William's things were ready for takeaway, he turned his attention to the clothes Kiara had picked for herself.“I'd like those as well.” “Sir?”“Pack up those clothes as well,” William repeated with Dennis immediately giving the order to his workers.As one of the workers parked, they remarked. “This lady should be thankful that this mysterious man is willing to let her escape embarrassment despite her attempting to humiliate him.”Kiara naturally heard them and she couldn't help but feel even more humiliated.Once the packing was done, she tried to take the items only for William to inquire.“What are you doing?”“Didn't you pa
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Slight change in plans
Even though Victoria framed it as a casual dinner between the two of them, it was anything but that. The truth was that tonight, the Smith family would be hosting a delegation of important individuals from a neighboring city and she was well aware that some of those that would be attending had eyes for her.So to avoid having to play the usual game of avoiding them to avoid awkward situations, she decided to use William's presence to deter them instead.Of course, that wasn't the only reason she wished to take him along to the event as her partner but she also didn't wish to make that known as well.She would play her cards slowly after which William's response would decide the end result.“Now then, if you'll excuse me, I have to decide on what I will be wearing for this evening,” Victoria remarked, causing William to raise a brow.“It's two in the afternoon.”“And?”“When is the dinner?”“Give or take, six in the evening.”“You see where I'm going with this?” William couldn't help
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Making a bet
William wasn't offended by Lionel's retort as he calmly remarked. “When in doubt, endeavor to find out.”Lionel frowned. “It seems like you are not going to back down until I educate you. Fine then, go ahead. What condition am I suffering from based on your diagnosis?”“Based on the fact that you have a weak pulse and you often become breathless, I'd say you are terminally ill.”“Just from that?” Lionel scoffed. “Did you take into account the fact that I may have exercised before now or the fact that I may have taken something before now?... But no, you can't wait to reveal just how much of a quack you are.”“Those could be taken into account, but the fact is that the illness plaguing you is not physical as you are made to believe,” William explained only to be rebuffed by Lionel.“Hah, just listen to this fool spout rubbish without hesitation. I'd have to petition the Medical Association to revoke your license before you kill a patient!”“You can do as you wish, I've already given my
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Surprise attack
Once the workers realized that Victoria had appeared, they didn't hesitate to direct their anger at her.“You vile scum, how can you do this to us?... You are the one that ordered the project manager not to pay us, didn't you?”“How can you be celebrating in your lavish parties while your workers are suffering?... Are you even human?”“You may be beautiful but you have an ugly heart!” They held nothing back as they lashed at Victoria, seeking to ruin her image as best they could.Victoria was frightened as this was the first time she was faced with such a situation.Before she was officially announced as heiress of the Smith family, she had made sure to deal with the corrupt executives within the family business in a bid to ensure that the workers would be well taken care of as she understood that only when the workers are happy would the work be done properly.Unfortunately, it seemed her efforts were in vain as a project manager had ended up cheating his workers.She had already as
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Twin assassins
“Who the hell are you?” Hacksaw questioned as he stared at William.During his time as an assassin working with his twin brother, Reaper, there had never been a situation when they struggled to kill a person.Their superior cultivation and skills ensured that their targets always met a gruesome fate at their hands. Yet at this point, when the odds were in their favor, Hacksaw had a worrying notion as he stared at William; if they didn't stop now, their career as assassins would surely come to an end.Contrary to what they thought, William was neither weak nor was he incapable of surviving their attacks.The only reason he hadn't acted yet was because of Victoria which meant that if she was absent, they would already be history.With that in mind, Hacksaw bellowed. “Brother!”Realizing the situation was dire, Reaper rushed forward and attacked, but he didn't target William, instead aiming for Victoria.William unleashed a spiritual energy wave, shoving them back before proceeding to p
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates The right call
But then, William didn't immediately take his leave as he knew that Katie was also in danger.He guessed that the person behind this attack was the same one who had tried to poison Katie and had also tried to abduct Victoria on their way to the welfare center.Though it was unclear what their objective was, it was clear enough that it needed Victoria and Katie to be fulfilled.With that in mind, William immediately hurried towards the back door which he guessed they had used to evacuate the guests.By the time he arrived at the emergency exit, he saw that most of the guests had already fled the scene, but thankfully, Katie was still there.“No, I'm not leaving without big sister!... Go and help her!” Katie said, proving too stubborn for the guards.The two exchanged looks and then, in that moment, came to a decision.With things as they were, if they didn't take action, they would fail in the task that was assigned to them.Indeed, they weren't actually trying to protect Victoria.It
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Breaking News
“What did you do?” Tanya asked as she stood before William, both of whom were currently on Tanya's porch.“I didn't do anything,” William replied calmly. “Someone is targeting Victoria and Katie. Do you know anyone that would gain something from their disappearance?”Tanya hesitated before ultimately replying. “Daniel.”“Who is that?”“The first son and Victoria as well as Katie's elder brother.”“Why would he be the one to gain?”“He was meant to be the heir of the Smith Consortium but the patriarch of the Smith family, Victoria's grandfather, instead chose Victoria as heiress, leaving him and a few others in the family disgruntled. Most in the family support Daniel but the patriarch doesn't.”“So if something happened to Victoria and Katie…”“He would most likely be the one to take over.”“... Madness.” William breathed out.To think that a person would choose money and power over their family.No… he had experienced such a thing with Celia.There was no reason it couldn't happen wi
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Somebody... help me
Just as William was about to apply the final stroke, his phone rang, jolting him from his concentrated state.“Darn it.” He cursed as he picked up the phone. “John, you better have some good news.”“That and bad news.” John hastily replied. “Good news is I have the ingredients. The bad news is you have to run away right now!”“Why?” William asked only to pause as he sensed people approaching.According to what he could tell, there were quite a number of them, and they were armed.“The police are coming to arrest you!”William's expression shifted as the next moment, the front door to his apartment was broken down.“Police, surrender now!” a voice bellowed as numerous footsteps rushed in both from the front and the back doors.William immediately picked up what he needed and rushed out of the bedroom just as a few policemen arrived there.“Stop there!” one bellowed as he shot out a taser.William caught the two wires, and the electricity went through him, but he felt nothing, allowing

“Watch your mouth, asshat!” Harold coldly said only for William to raise a brow with his hands in his pocket.Snorting derisively, William soon left with Victoria while Harold could only stare at Victoria's endowed behind. Clicking his tongue as he struggled to understand why William was always so lucky with the ladies, Harold turned to leave only to get a call at that moment.Furrowing his brows, he picked it up only to discover that it was Elena Kingston.He went wide-eyed in an instant as he had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.Trembling, he answered the call. “Hello.”“Harold, you bastard!... How dare you do this?... What the hell are you doing at Magnificent Club with some other bitch!... Have you forgotten that I'm the one that got you the invite, yet you are spending it on another woman?”“That…”“I'm on my way there right now and if it turns out that you are there, don't think that you'll be able to survive my wrath!” After saying that, the call ended, leavi
This isn't over
Starting with the first thug, William dealt with each one without mercy, ensuring that by the time he was down to the last man, the thug had already wet himself in fright, his body trembling as he stared wide-eyed at William as though he were a demon.“You are the one they mentioned.” The thugs remarked as he took a step back.“Hmm?”“I knew your face was familiar, you are William Belmont.”William was surprised and asked. “You know me?”The thug gulped anxiously. “Yes, of course!... Mr. Belmont, I'm so sorry, this is all a misunderstanding.”Then, he yanked off his mask, revealing a face covered in scars.“I'm Bobby and I work for the Sinister Six.”“I see.” “I'm sorry, sir; if we had known it was you, we wouldn't have dared to come near you!”The other thugs finally caught on, realizing that the man they had been sent after was no small individual.They swiftly scrambled to their feet to apologize. “This is a huge misunderstanding!”“Please, have a smoke, Mister Belmont. We were b
I've got a job for you
After apologizing to William, Celia's father turned to Ava and Andre. “William here has warned us that the pill was fake and dangerous, but you two were the loudest objectors. I don't even know what to say about your foolishness anymore.”,Ava and Andre stood awkwardly with lowered heads.To think that their father had done the same thing but he was blaming them alone. The doctor's ears perked up at this exchange as he asked with a frown. “Pill?... Are you, by any chance, talking about a medicinal pill from the Heavenly Orchard?”Ava thought the doctor might have some insight and eagerly replied. “Yes, it's exactly that. Doctor, you can tell that the pill grandpa took was a genuine pill, right?”“Hmm, well…”“Heh, I knew it couldn't be fake since Harold got them directly from Heavenly Orchard. It's perfectly normal for Grandpa to faint. His body was just too weak for such powerful medicine.”Ava had already begun to toot her own horn, only for her analysis to be met with a cold laugh
Ava, shut up
William didn't owe the Rodriguez family anything and if not for his relationship with Diego, he wouldn't even be breaking bread with them.He could be anywhere else and he wouldn't have to go through the humiliation they put him through.Yet, time and again, he had been forced to step up and get them out of trouble, only to end up getting insulted.At this point in time, he was all but done with taking things lying down.He didn't wish to show the side he only showed to those he hated, but the Rodriguez family was pushing him closer to that line every single time their paths crossed. “William, please,” Celia muttered, only to receive a cold glare from him, causing her to back away in fright.Then, without saying anything, he stepped forward and quickly pressed several pressure points on Diego's body to stop the bleeding.With some therapeutic massage, Diego's breathing eventually steadied. If not for his good relationship with Diego and the fact that the old man was nothing like his
Don't push me
Celia frowned and said. “William, you may know something about medicine as a doctor but the medicinal pill is a closely guarded secret of the Heavenly Orchard. Claiming you know about it is ridiculous.”Harold, who has been watching with a smile, chimed in, “Since William claims my pill is fake, perhaps he could explain exactly how?”“A fake is a fake. What more explanation is needed?” William retorted. Harold sighed with feigned patience. “William, I think there's been a misunderstanding. Perhaps you are upset about Celia and me, but this pill was obtained at great expense through my connections at Heavenly Orchard. Don't you think it's going too far to insult my sincere gift like this?”His words immediately stirred the family's sympathy as they glared at William in disgust.Ava scolded. “William, if you can't say anything nice, then you are welcome to leave!”“That's enough, William!... It's one thing to be incompetent but being unable to accept others' success makes you truly pat
Ambrosia
After hearing what Ava had to say, Diego scowled and retired. “Such ignorance!... I've lived for more years than you have!... Do you think you are wiser than me?”“No, that's not…” Ava tried to explain only to be sharply cut off by Diego.“Listen here, I once had the privilege of tasting just half a glass of this at a noble family's home and I've never forgotten it!”The family turned to stare at William, who remained composed and said. “This wine lives up to its name as Ambrosia.”Diego nodded approvingly. “Well said, my boy. Now then, about the rest of the wine, hand it over quickly.”Chuckling, William calmly handed over the bottle and Diego's breathing quickened with excitement.He fought the urge to snatch the bottle from William,. exclaiming in vivid excitement. “Oh my, there's still a lot of it left. This would fetch nearly a million dollars on the market. You are quite generous!”“Dad, is this cheap wine really as amazing as you are claiming?” Celia's father asked skeptically.
Cheap wine
“Granddad, look at this.” Andre pulled up a decorated box of wine. “Harold brought this beautiful wine over, a fine Chateau Mouton-Rothschild 1945. We should all toast with this!”“Chateau Mouton-Rothschild 1945? That’s a really expensive wine, no?”“Yes, it is. It was three hundred thousand dollars a bottle!” Harold boasted.“What? Three hundred thousand dollars a bottle?!” everyone exclaimed in shock. The sky-high price had been way beyond their expectations.The Rodriguez family was pretty well–off, but even they hadn’t had a chance to try something this expensive.“Why’d you spend all that money on this, Harold? It’s too much, no?” Ava questioned, though pride laced her tone.“Three hundred thousand isn’t much. I have another barrel of this at home, so please, you all enjoy,” Harold said with a prideful grin.“Mr. O'Malley, you’re really generous.”“Yeah, we’re really in for a treat tonight!”The family began praising Harold for his wine, feeding his ego further.“Hey, boy, look a

If he steps out of line, let me know.” William said after which he took his leave with John following closely behind.***The next morning.Celia was preparing to leave the house to meet with Harold when she got a call on her phone.She glanced at the screen only for her demeanor to shift as she gulped hard before pro
