The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Pay up and apologize
Ava and Andre were surprised by Harold's bold words.They had nearly forgotten they had someone backing them up!Harold was from the O'Malley family, and they were known to share deep relations with the Marley family, who were a powerful force in the capital. Which meant that Harold had nothing to fear in a backwater place like Avalon.Even Sir Donovan would have to bow if faced with the Marley family from the capital.With that realization, Ava and Andre straightened.“Harold, Donovan rules over this place. Is this really okay?” Andre asked tentatively.“Don’t worry. He’s nothing to me.” Harold said with a confident smile.He finally had a chance to flaunt his influence, so he had to show them all he had.“That's good.” Andre grinned.He thought he was done for, but now he had another shot.“Hey! What are you mumbling about? Are you going to pay up or not?!” Leilani barked, getting impatient.“What are you going to do if we don’t pay up? You think we’re scared of you?” Ava mocked, p

“So what if I hit you? Don’t you deserve it for daring to overstep?” Donovan shot him a cold smile.“Do you know that I’m from the O'Malley family?!” Harold thundered. He had always been a prideful person, so getting slapped in public was the greatest humiliation of his life!“The O'Malley family? So what?” snorted Donovan. “I have served this nation for twenty years and have paid my dues, yet you expect me to bow down to a brat like you?... Don't kid yourself!”“Donovan! Are you trying to say you won't apologize?” Harold questioned, with an unkind look on his face.He had thought that using his family name would scare Donovan.To his surprise, his trick was ineffective.“Stop fucking making a fool of yourself here! What’s so grand about being an O'Malley?... Do you think I don't have military connections to ensure that your pathetic family doesn't see the sunrise tomorrow!” Donovan bellowed, his anger evident. “This…” Harold looked taken aback. All his rage dissipated instantly.“If

“How… how dare you hit me?!” Donovan asked as he rubbed his head in disbelief and looked down at his palm.His hand was covered in blood.In the years since he had returned to Avalon to live out his retirement and enjoy life, no one had dared disrespect him, much less hit him with a rock.The last person that had tried to act smart ended up with his limbs permanently separated from the rest of his body and he also lost his voice as well.Yet this bastard standing before him, this young man who hadn't even seen life, dared to go even further.“This fool must have a death wish!” he thought.If he allowed him to go scot-free, there was no way others would respect him any longer.So there was no way he could allow William to go scot-free.“Sir Donovan, take my advice. Let it go,” William said calmly, unwilling to escalate the matter further as he respected Donovan as a member of the military.In his life, William had come across quite a few military men, and though some were conceited and
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates The Gray Lion
A fit, middle-aged man wearing a suit walked in with bodyguards flanking him. He looked charismatic and intimidating without even trying.“Sir Gray?!”The moment the man appeared, Donovan’s spirits lifted dramatically.The garden went into an uproar, and the crowd retreated in respect.They knew that the man they were looking at was someone even Donovan bowed to!“Shit!... Donovan’s boss is here!” Celia’s expression changed.She could only imagine how the magnitude of the influence and background of someone like the Gray Lion.“How foolish! If he had let Sir Donovan go earlier. Too bad now that the Gray Lion is here. He dug his own grave!”“I don’t care if he dies, but he’s dragging us down with him. What bad luck!”Ava and the others were shocked and terrified at the same time.They couldn’t even afford to offend Donovan, much less the man behind him, who was none other than the mighty Gray Lion. “You fool! The Gray Lion is here. Aren’t you going to surrender?” shouted Donovan.Lieu

After the incident with Sir Donovan ended, Celia quickly left Lakeside with Andre and Ava.Harold followed closely behind only stopping when Celia turned to speak with him.“Want me to come along?” He asked, his eyes clearly hinting at something more. Celia, of course, was no fool and was well aware of what he wanted but with things as they were, she didn't even bother trying to entertain Harold's desires as she replied. “Let's talk some more tomorrow, Harold.”“But…”“Good night.”With that, Celia turned and left, leaving Harold alone on the curb with a disappointed look on his face.“Tch, if only that idiot Andre didn't get involved with a bastard like Sir Donovan. Now Celia thinks of me as a weakling.”Harold naturally didn't think that Celia had passed on his advances because she was uninterested.He believed it was because of what had happened earlier on, which added to his annoyance.Just then, he heard a familiar voice, causing him to turn back, quickly discovering William and
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Proposing a showdown
“What is the meaning of this, Victoria?” Charlotte asked with a frown. Victoria replied calmly. “I doubt that's any of your concern, mother. Anyways, I’ve already found a good fit for the project, and it’s Mr. William!”“What?!” Everyone exclaimed in shock when she announced that.“You’ve got to be kidding me, Victoria! Is he even qualified to serve as chief physician for this backwater hospital?” Charlotte asked, voicing her displeasure.“William’s medical skills are top of the line, and he knows the ins and outs of medicine. I believe he is the best suited for the project!” Victoria responded. “W–what kind of nonsense are you talking about?!” Charlotte hollered, obviously agitated by her response.Suddenly, William remarked. “Ma'am, it would be best for you to calm down and reduce your voice. This is a hospital after all.”“So you’re the pretty boy who keeps clinging on to Victoria like a leech?” Clinton sneered after looking William up and down.His gaze was full of disdain towar
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Playing with poison
“Don’t fall for his tricks, William! He’s obviously doing this just to back you into a corner,” Victoria warned in a low whisper.If they settled on a competition to battle out their medical skills, then William would stand a pretty good chance of winning.But if they opted to go with a poison–conocting competition with a master of poison instead, then it was like they were begging to be killed!“I’m giving you one more chance to back out of this, peasant. If you admit defeat now, you’ll be giving up the chance to work with the Smith family!” Clinton spat.“Aren’t we just dabbling with some poison? Fine, It’s on,” William proclaimed. He was not the least bit afraid.“Ha, you asked for it!” Clinton let out a maniacal laugh as he gazed at the soon–to–be–dead man in front of him.To think he had the gall to compete with a polson master at making polson. He certainly had a death wish!“Are you out of your mind? William? You could die,” Victoria said anxiously.She couldn't understand why
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Such a shame
“Ridiculous! Mr. Cole has been researching poisons for many years now, so how could he possibly lose? You’ll see how great he is later!” Clinton gave a bark of laughter.William merely let out a short chuckle and said nothing more in response.Soon enough, Mr. Come arrived and immediately began concocting his poison.His movements were so fast that it was enough to make one’s head spin.In the meantime, William took his time with it and did everything at his own pace.After a long while, Mr. Cole had finished concocting his polson, which appeared to be a bottle of viscous, purple liquid.One could even smell a faint scent of dead rats wafting out of it.“I’m done with my poison. Dare to take it?” Clinton taunted as he placed the bottle on the table and provocatively glared at him.Anyone with a discerning eye could definitely see that the purple potion in front of them was highly poisonous.This meant that anyone who ingested it would surely be in danger!Victoria couldn’t help but ba

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
