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
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Pebbles, lots and lots of pebbles
“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

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
