The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates He is no quack
Ali was stunned as he realized that Zayn was actually well again just like William had said.Did that mean his claim of the building being gifted to him was true as well?Soon, the duo arrived and Ali tried to step forward as he greeted them. "This junior pays respects to the patriarch."Zayn didn't even bother with him as he glanced at William, a smile on his lips.“Mister Belmont, I heard my daughter gave you a present without informing me. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of not immediately doing that when you saved me from certain death.”At the side, Ali trembled somewhat at the unexpected news that William was actually the one who healed his grandfather."Then it's good I met you here today.""I didn't think your family had a knack for taking back what they had already given away," William said, causing Zayn's expression to turn sour as he glanced at Ali."It would seem I have allowed your parents to indulge you for far too long, Ali.""No, Grandpa, it's nothing like that." "S

Meanwhile, William had just gotten out of a conversation with Zayn when he got the call from Victoria. “William.” “Yes, Miss Smith.” “Come over to Piping Hot, something is happening to Sir Lionel.” William sighed. “Didn't I warn him to be careful?... Now see. “Please come over quickly, I fear if something isn't done soon, he might pass away.” “Yeah, I know, I'm on my way.” With that, William ended the call and quickly left for Piping Hot Cafe. He arrived roughly fifteen minutes after Victoria called him, just in time to watch as medics that the cafe had called rushed in to tend to him. Raising a brow, William didn't say anything immediately as he watched them try to disperse the people who had gathered around to watch the scene. Victoria rushed to meet him the moment she noticed his presence. “You were right, William, something is wrong with Sir Lionel.” “I'm aware, no need to tell me twice,” William said in slight annoyance. “How long has it been since this started?” “Fi
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Making things up
The medics quickly took Lionel away with William letting out a sigh of relief. Just one minute more and Lionel would have been a lost cause. “You never cease to amaze me.” Victoria calmly admitted from the side causing William to chuckle. “Won't you go with them?” William inquired, gesturing to the medics who had already gotten into their ambulance and left for the hospital. Victoria shrugged. “No need. I trust that the doctors in charge would take your advice.” “And if they don't.” “Then I believe we both should head over there.” “Alright then.” William was agreeable to the suggestion as he had a feeling that the doctors on duty might turn out to be bull-headed. But before that, he had a question. “How come you just happened to be having a coffee meeting with Sir Lionel today of all days?” Victoria smirked as she replied. “I recalled what you said and decided to take active measures to ensure that not only do you end up with yet another illustrious individual in your
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates A ridiculous challenge
Only those with robust accounts could dare to shop at ShopRight as even the smallest of items might end up costing a fortune to get but for the likes of William and Victoria, money wasn't an issue. William and Victoria stepped in with the guard excited to let them in as he had recognized the Porsche they were driving as incredibly expensive. They made their way to the second floor before arriving at the Silky Wears. It was just like Velvet Fashions but was more interested in vintage wear, and so was popular with people interested in those sorts of wears. William and Victoria were just about to walk in when the attendant at the door approached them. “Excuse me, perhaps you are in the wrong place?” She inquired while scrutinizing the duo with a slight hint of contempt. “Not at all. Or is this not Silky Wears?” “Uhmm, it is, but are you sure you should be here?... I mean, the lost and found department is not too far from here.” Clearly, she was being disrespectful because

The arrogant woman behind Stefan quickly added. “Make it two!” “Of course. Two weeks.” “And if I turn out to be correct?” “I'll apologize.” “Nah, let's make it more interesting. If I turn out to be correct, you'll not only have to compensate me for the time wasted and the unnecessary insults with a free dress, and yes, the dress has to be your most expensive.” Stefan could barely contain his surprise at William's audacity. “Also, you'll have to make a public apology using the announcement speakers.” “You…” “I have no reason to accept your ridiculous challenge, Mr. Stefan. I only made an observation so if you wish so badly to prove that I'm wrong. You'll have to agree.” Stefan gritted his teeth as he pondered on his next response. What if William was telling the truth?... Doing what he asked would be incredibly humiliating. But he was familiar with Mrs. Grimshaw and knew that the family she was married into was an old money family with vast connections. If he wished to ge

Zara stood on the second floor, overlooking the party hall below, in full view of those below but none dared to approach her.Or so far at least.***William arrived in the Corvette with Victoria.The duo stepped out, revealing Victoria to be wearing a fiery red dress while William wore a pale blue suit.Just as they were about to reach the entrance, William instinctively raised his head only to notice Zara standing on a balcony.She looked down at the same time and for a brief moment, their eyes met.Once she was out of sight, William recovered long enough to hear Victoria. “The invitation.”Shaking his head, he took out the card Zayn had given him after their discussion earlier in the day letter and handed it over to the guards at the hall entrance.“You may go in.” The doors opened and a whole new world was displayed on the other end.“Amazing.” Victoria mouthed as she took in the sight.“It's even more splendid than when I first came in,” William confessed.Many were in attendan

William remained calm as he took Victoria's hand and prepared to move away, however, Aston was unwilling to let the matter slide as he stood in his way.“You dare leave after insulting my image before these many people?”“You insulted yourself, don't make things harder than they are supposed to be.”“Do you think yourself worthy of such a price?... Don't flatter yourself, Mr. Belmont, you shouldn't even be here if not for the foolishness of a few.”William ignored his words and once again tried to leave; unfortunately, Aston remained the ever-stubborn party.“Will you not move?” William inquired.Aston snorted as he spat coldly. “I challenge you to combat. Do you dare accept?”William remained silent, merely holding Aston's gaze as he contemplated the best way to teach the imbecile a lesson.Just then, Mr. Lincoln, the head of the Lincoln family, stepped forward.“Aston, back down.” He remarked, to the surprise of many present. As a proud family leader, one would think he would even
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Are you mad?
Aston tried to fight back but William overpowered him quickly before going ahead to pummel the fool till he was satisfied.He struck with reckless abandon while Aston first threatened them and began to beg for mercy.Several were stunned by the scene, watching as the great young master of the Lincoln family was reduced to a pulp.William didn't kill Aston, perhaps out of respect for Mr. Lincoln and because he didn't exactly enjoy killing.He got to his feet, taking one last look at Aston's face, which was now a bleeding mess, before turning away and walking back to Victoria, who was waiting with a warm smile.“That was brutal but oddly satisfying to watch.” She remarked sweetly as she took him to a seat and helped him clean his bloody fists before assisting him in putting his clothes back on.At this point, very few dared to keep partying as they began to realize that they had underestimated the man before them.He was quite a terrifying foe!It wasn't until an hour later that the par

Rough and ruthless
The crowd was collectively taken aback by the accusation, If the culprit had been a creep, they would have gone ahead and taught him a lesson.But it turns out that the person whom Elena had accused of stealing her belongings was an enchanting beauty.Everyone was at a loss.“Isn’t that the popular actress Celia Rodriguez? Why would she steal?”“Exactly! Everyone knows Ms. Rodriguez. She wouldn’t stoop so low, would she?”“One may know a person for a long time without understanding his true nature. Who knows what vile Intentions this lady is hiding behind her glamorous appearance?”The men were generally doubtful of Elena’s accusation, whereas the ladies trusted her fully.“Miss Kingston, there must be some sort of misunderstanding. I have not stolen anything.”Celia took a moment to regain her composure before denying Elena’s accusation.She had never thought that Elena would pin it on her.“A quick search should easily be able to tell us whether or not you did it.” A faint smile gra
A sister's betrayal
But Elena ignored her outstretched hand and stared unwaveringly at her necklace.“That necklace, where did you get them from?” she asked icily.“My boyfriend gave them to me. It's custom made so you won’t be able to find a similar one out there. But of course, Miss Kingston, if you fancy them, I can give them to you.” Ava was secretly delighted.“Even the daughter of the wealthiest man can’t resist this necklace,” she thought to herself.“Boyfriend?”Elena’s expression clouded over. “Is it Harold O'Malley?”The reason why she asked was because she had received the exact necklace from Harold as compensation for what he'd done at the car dealership.“Oh! Do you know Harold too, Miss Kingston?... In that case, we’re friends too!” Ava’s eyes lit up.Who knew that a necklace would be the key to her success?“Who’s your friend? Bitch!”Elena glared at Ava and struck her across the face.A loud, crisp sound was heard.Ava was at a loss as she held her cheek in her hand. “Miss Kingston, why d
Center of attention
“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
