The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Have you made your decision?
According to his research, not only would the pharmaceutical project go on to become a major powerhouse in the pharmaceutical industry, but it also had the potential to grow to become even larger than what the Khan family currently had. This was why Clinton was so hellbent on getting the leadership role for the project.It was sure that he would become a billionaire from it. Being the top dog in Avalon wouldn’t be a farfetched dream by that time. “Clinton, don’t get ahead of yourself. If you want my support as well as that of my colleagues, first, you would have to provide us with a stake in the project and all future profits. Secondly, loyalty is paramount. Do you understand?” Evans said sternly.“I will remember your advice, Mr. Jones!” Clinton nodded.While talking, they were interrupted by a commotion from the gardens. The noise sounded like a cacophony of curses and cries of pain.“What’s going on?” Clinton frowned.At this moment, a bodyguard rushed into the room, his face pa
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Crippled
“I'll give you one chance to redeem yourself.” William coldly remarked. “If you cripple yourself and leave Avalon for good, I will not exert my vengeance against you. Know that the only reason for this offer is because of your relationship with Victoria.”“Are you kidding?” Clinton couldn't help but explode with mocking laughter, after what he could only regard as William's foolishness.“Hmm.”“Who do you think you are?” Clinton asked. “You seem to have received quite the beating in prison which is why you are spouting such rubbish.”“Will you bit comply?” William questioned, his expression turning even colder.“Hmmph, it seems like you don't understand the dynamics between us. You are nothing while I am a member of the Smith family. If I killed you here right now, no one would say anything!... Of course, I'm not one to hold grudges. As long as you agree to my demands, I'll consider letting you go.”“And if I say no?” William asked as he took another step forward.Clinton snorted. “Th

Clinton struggled to understand what was so special about William that everything was going his way.Unfortunately, he would never be able to understand and for that reason, his fear towards William grew.Realizing he was a goner considering he'd been abandoned by the Smith family, his eyes turned lifeless as if his soul had left his body. Clinton knew that he was a goner.No one would save him, nor did they dare to.“Take him away!” John ordered his men to bind Clinton up.Despite knowing the truth, Clinton could never leave prison.There was only one way to leave.That is, being carried out for cremation after death.“Stop right there! What are you doing? Leave that man alone!”At that moment, Evans appeared with his two female bodyguards and approached them aggressively.Initially, he hadn’t planned on getting involved.However, Clinton was such an incompetent Idiot!How could he lose the fight?Evans was forced to intervene before that knucklehead got himself locked up.At any ra
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Dinner at the Rodriguez manor
William’s words made Evans step back in fear, as he was unprepared for a fight.It would be troublesome if William decided to follow through with what he said.“I’m going to remember this, punk! I’m not done with you!” Seeing as the situation was unfavorable, Evans and his bodyguards left in a hurry with their tails between their legs.A wise man knew better than to fight when the odds were against him.With his noble status, it wasn’t worth it to put his life on the line. Once he was gone, William asked John. “You aren't familiar with him?”“Not at all. I'm guessing he's a new face. Regardless, I can handle it. Do you want him dead?” John replied. “Keep an eye on him. 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
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates 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
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates 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.
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates 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
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates 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

Pain and misery
“William? Hurry up and go. Don’t care about me —” Victoria cried out weakly.When she saw William, she thought she’d finally be saved, but she never expected that Conrad would have a gun, so she instantly panicked.“Weren’t you talking so big, dipshit? Ha, you still have to admit defeat to our family. I guess you’re scared now, eh?” Conrad raised his gun and sniggered. “You better grovel if you don’t want to die, or I’ll send a bullet straight through your head!”“Grovel? As if you’re worthy of that.” William glared at the other man.“Worthy?” Conrad grinned maniacally and fired two shots near William’s feet. “I don’t want you to just grovel. I’ll fuck your woman right in front of you!”“Y–you shameless bastard!” Victoria’s chest rose and fell violently as she fumed. However, because of the drug, her flushed face looked more alluring than ever.“So what? I’ll have my fill with you before dealing with that brat!” Conrad declared.“I planned to finish you off in one go, but I changed my
Attempting a disgusting act
Without anyone noticing, he slipped a pill into her wine and smiled. “You still want to drink, don’t you. Victoria?... Let me join you.”He poured another glass for Victoria.Victoria, who was already tipsy, didn’t notice anything wrong and downed the glass without a word.Soon, her head became heavy and her vision blurred, making her sway.“Mr. Dennings, I think Ms. Smith is drunk.” Tanya returned just then.“It’s alright. I’ll send her home now. Her family’s worried sick.” Conrad promised with a kind smile.“Alright. Thanks, Ms. Dennings.” Tanya didn’t think too much about it and helped carry Victoria into Conrad’s car.Since the car only had two seats, she could only watch as the car’s headlights disappeared.“Humph! You’re finally in my arms. You like acting high and mighty, don’t you? Well, I’ll have some fun with you tonight.” Conrad smiled sinisterly and headed straight to the hotel.Meanwhile, William was in Oscar’s house, discussing a variety of things when his phone started
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
