The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Zayn Khan
“Grandpa.” Zara breathed out in shock as she stared at her now-breathing grandfather.Zayn Khan, Zara’s grandfather, gasped for air while he kept his gaze on William.It was clear that unlike before, he was aware of his surroundings.“Grandpa,” Zara called out again, snapping him out of his momentary trance.Zayn reached out and stroked Zara's hair. “Zara, my dear granddaughter, it's truly you.”“Grandpa,” Zara muttered, her eyes wet once again but not out of sadness but instead of joy.She instinctively leaped into Zayn's arms, embracing him tightly while letting out the joy in her heart.The guards exchanged looks with one another, unsure of what to make of the current situation as they didn't expect such an outcome.Satisfied that his work was done, William made to leave only for Zayn to call out to him.“Young man!”William paused, glancing back at Zayn, who was scrutinizing him with clear eyes.“You saved me.”“I was only doing my job.” William calmly replied.“But it doesn't cha

“This is impossible, father, how did this happen?” Omar, Zara’s father remarked.Zayn snorted. “I thought you for so many years yet when I needed your expertise the most, you went ahead to give a rubbish diagnosis. All it took this man to save me was just one look. I should beat you for disappointing me.”“Father, I don't understand. You were clearly suffering from dementia.”“Best stop talking rubbish otherwise, don't blame me for beating you!” Zayn warned.Omar said nothing, though he didn't hesitate to glare at William, with the latter meeting his gaze calmly.“Dad, come with me, we have to head to the hospital to run some tests.”“Bah, I told you that focusing too much on modern mediums is going to make you small-minded, yet you still don't want to listen. Look here, this young man has cured me so there's no reason to carry out any other checks ups. Just take me home.”“But dad…”“I said take me home already. I need to rest, and yes, this young man is coming with us,” Zayn said, l
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates An offering
“I guess that's known all around, huh?” William said as he rubbed the top of his lip. Zara chuckled. “I had no idea you were such a capable man.”“Well, I pride myself on being a man of many talents.”Pursing her lips, Zara asked. “Why did you save my grandfather?”“I also already told you that.”“I know but it doesn't make sense that you don't want anything at all,” Zara said, feeling slightly suspicious.“Well, I don't,” William remarked. “And that won't be changing. Now then, if you'll excuse me, I'd like to get some rest.”“Wait.”“Hmm?”“Thank you.”“For?”“Saving my grandfather.”William nodded. “You're welcome.”“One more thing.”“Tell me.”Zara quickly reached into her pocket and pulled out a key card.“Take this.”“What is that?”“Keys to a beach house. It's yours now.”“I don't want it,” William said dismissively before turning to leave.“Please.”William paused in his tracks.“Take it as an offering.”“Offering?” William glanced back at Zara with a raised brow.“Yes, an of

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
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Back to life
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

A great favor
“Mr. Storm, don’t take it too hard. Although the knife injury damaged your fertility, it can actually be treated. Once you’re recovered, you can have a son, or even ten! It won’t be a problem.” William smiled as he attempted to cheer Oscar up.“Really?” Oscar trembled, his face expectant.In the past six months, the main reason he hadn’t slept with his wife was because he couldn’t get it up.However, because of his dignity as a man, he’d always kept it a secret.So, to hear that he’d be able to rise up again, naturally, he was elated.“Mr. Storm, if I dare to say it, it means I can do it.” As William spoke, he took out a tablet and said, “This is a concoction I created. It helps clear up circulatory pathways and heal internal injuries. Give it a try.”“Okay!” Without another word, Oscar took the concoction and swallowed it.As soon as the tablet entered his system, it turned into a rush of warmth that spread through his body.Instantly, he felt his mood lift, and his body felt better
Truly a tragedy
Some time, seven years ago, Oscar had been on his way to a meeting to discuss a business deal when a hitman suddenly appeared.Fortunately, he didn’t lose his life, but ever since then, his injury had been causing him pain.The problem was that he’d never told anyone about this, so how did William find out?“Mr. Belmont, you’re really amazing! But how could you tell?” Oscar was both shocked and suspicious.“I’m a doctor. For most ailments, you can identify clues from the smallest details.” William replied.“Hahaha… You’re truly a miracle doctor, Mr. Belmont! I acknowledge your talent!” Oscar said.“What a compliment, Mr. Storm. I’m just using my wits.”“Mr. Belmont, could you take a good look and see whether this illness of mine can be cured?” Oscar extended his wrist.William felt for his pulse. Then, he responded, “It’s curable, but it will take some time. That knife injured your kidney, which has affected your ability to have children. Your reproductive ability has also greatly det
A gross betrayal
The others also looked at each other, unable to comprehend what had just unfolded.No one expected that Sir Oscar, the man who had always covered for his wife’s behavior, would smack her with his own hand.“See for yourself!” With a dark look, he threw the phone straight at Miranda.Miranda picked up the phone and took a look. Suddenly, her face turned ashen, as if she’d been struck by lightning.It was the medical checkup report from the hospital, and the diagnosis was indeed Hepatitis C!“How could this happen? No, it can’t be!” Miranda shook her head frantically in utter disbelief. “This medical report must have been falsified! Honey, I don’t have hepatitis. I really don’t!”“Are you still trying to defend yourself at this point?!” Oscar roared, his blood was boiling. Any man would not be able to stomach finding out they were cheated on.Even worse, his wife had contracted a disease because of it.This was simply humiliating!“Honey, I’m sorry! I was just momentarily confused. I’m
Uncovering an affair
“Bastard, you’re humiliating me in public. I’ve got to teach you a lesson! Lee, beat him up!” Miranda flew into a rage and ordered the young bodyguard standing behind her to hit William.However, the bodyguard named Lee was rooted to the floor, his face pale.Cold sweat dripped down his face.“Lee, what are you still standing there for? Do something!” Miranda shouted.“What’s going on?!”At that moment, a middle–aged man suddenly walked in.Two burly bodyguards trailed behind him.“Huh Isn’t that Sir Oscar? What is he doing here?”“That seems to be his wife, Miranda Storm. A good show is about to go down!”“Sir Oscar is known for spoiling his wife. It seems like that punk is going to get it today!”The restaurant broke into a heated discussion when the middle–aged man appeared.“Honey, you’re finally here!” The moment Miranda saw him, she immediately ran into his arms and started to sob. “That guy kept bullying me earlier. You have to help me!”“Who’s the bastard brave enough to bully
Just a cold?
“Oscar is the chairman of the Dynamic Bank and a renowned tycoon in Avalon.” Zara explained.“Oh, I see…” William nodded.“It’s not known to others, but Sir Storm is actually suffering from an illness. He’s seen many doctors. but none of them could cure him. You are an excellent healer, so I invited you here to meet him. I think he’ll be here soon,” Zara explained.As the two were talking, a female voice suddenly sounded from behind them. “Why, isn’t it Ms. Khan?”Turning her head, Zara saw an elegant woman dressed up to the nines in an extravagant custom–made evening gown walking toward her, carrying a Birkin handbag.“Oh, it’s you, Mrs. Storm. Where’s Mr. Storm?” Zara glanced left and right.“What, do you miss my Oscar that much? Ever since the last time you saw him, your heart is still set on him, huh?” Miranda Storm said sarcastically.She had never liked Zara.It was because Zara was an outstanding individual.Not only was she born into a wealthy family, but she was also gorgeous
Harold's reckoning
“Why should I help you?” Stefan questioned.William smirked. “Because it helps us both. The Ghost Army Sect coming to Avalon only means that it won't be long before things go to shit and that would be terrible for business, right?”Stefan nodded in agreement, well aware of what the Ghost Army were capable of.They were monsters wearing human skin, not to be regarded as ordinary men.Even he who dabbled in the underworld wouldn't dare to engage with them.“How can I trust that if they come for me, I'll be safe?”William replied. “You will.”As he said that, he released his spiritual pressure which caused the entire Hendricks manor to tremble as though it has been hit by an earthquake.Then, William stood up, and although he had a smile on his face, Stefan somehow felt a chilliness surging from the bottom of his heart.Stefan didn’t react for a long time, even after William and John left.He reckoned that his assumption of William being the real murderer and attempting to seek revenge o
The mastermind is revealed
William smiled faintly. “What? Mr. Hendricks, are you trying to threaten me? So much for bringing a gift for you.”“Gift?” Stefan narrowed his eyes with suspicion.He wasn’t that naive to think that William would really bring him any gift.Given the current relationship between the two parties, he would have had someone break William’s limbs this morning if not for his connection with the Smith family.He reckoned that William was well aware of this too.William didn’t say much either. He raised his hand and tossed the killer behind him.The heavy corpse fell to the ground, revealing the look of panic and horror that had already stiffened on his face.There was a hole in the middle of his eyebrows, from which blood was gushing out endlessly.Clearly, the corpse belonged to a person who had just died.Greatly startled, Stefan and the rest of the Hendricks family subconsciously took two steps back.Many of them even exclaimed in astonishment.But Stefan had been through all sorts of sit
Get lost
However, regardless of the reason, the killer panicked in the face of impending death and hurriedly said, “Don’t… don’t kill me! I’ll tell you anything you want to know! Yes, it was a young man named Harold O'Malley who gave me a hundred and fifty thousand to get me to help him kill Paul Hendricks without leaving a trace! If you have any other questions, I will definitely tell you everything I know! Just don’t kill me! Please… ah!”William frowned and picked a small stone on the table next to him.Then he flicked it at the killer.Like a bullet out of a gun, the marble-sized stone directly pierced through the brow of the killer, making him stop speaking.He would never have the chance to say anything again in his life.If the killer could be as tough as he was at the beginning and abide by the rules of his industry, perhaps William would have still thought highly of him.But William didn’t see the need to be kind to someone who was greedy for money, afraid of death, and would kill any
Fishing out the real culprit
Paul and Victoria had previously been engaged, and through his intuition, William sensed that there might be some kind of connection between the two.The most direct speculation William made was that someone didn’t want the marriage alliance between the Smiths and the Hendricks to happen.The killer in black sneered and said adamantly, “Do you think I will tell you? In our line of work, the rule of thumb is to keep our lips sealed about our clients’ information. I won’t tell even if you kill me!”William raised his eyebrows.The killer seemed to be quite a person of principle.But seeing the panic on his face that he couldn’t hide, William reckoned that he probably wouldn’t be as tight-lipped as he claimed to be.If subjected to some torture methods, he certainly wouldn’t be so unrelenting.William had more than a hundred ways to force this killer to speak.But William really couldn’t be bothered.“The person who sent you to kill Paul Hendricks is Harold O'Malley, right?” William sudd
