The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates I'd like you to work for me
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
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Piss, my good man, good old piss
“Oh, nothing much. Just some golden juice,” William said flatly.The moment he revealed it, Mr. Cole’s face contorted with shock.Even Charlotte, who had been sitting at the side all this while, raised an eyebrow upon hearing that.“What the hell do you mean by golden juice?” Clinton asked, barely preventing himself from gagging as William replied.“Piss, my good man, good old piss.”As soon as Clinton heard this, he immediately started dry heaving next to William.But since the poison was already in his stomach, he couldn’t spit it out even if he wanted to, his face flushed red instead.Before this, the phrase ‘drink piss‘ had only been a suggestion, but he couldn’t believe that it had actually happened to him.“I didn’t expect William to be so heartless by forcing our cousin to drink piss. How is he going to eat anything else from now on?” Ruth commented as she covered her nose with her hands.She then started to move away from them with a look of disgust.“For all the shit he spews
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Returning the favor
As soon as the antidote landed in Clinton's stomach, he immediately felt better.However, after enduring the pain for a few seconds, he vomited all the white liquid out of his system.“What are you doing, Mr. Smith? You just threw up the antidote!” Mr. Cole exclaimed in surprise.“I couldn’t help it. I really couldn’t hold it in!” Clinton whined helplessly.“You could even stomach taking piss, so why can’t you do the same for the antidote?” Mr. Cole scolded, flabbergasted.“Cut the crap! Hurry up and prepare another dose, I’ll make sure to hold it in this time round,” Clinton shouted as his face twitched.Mr. Cole had no choice but to do as he was told.Soon, he’d finished whipping up another dose, and Clinton wasted no time ingesting it.This time, he managed to hold it in.“My stomach still hurts like hell, Mr. Cole. Why haven’t the effects kicked in yet?” Clinton complained with a strained look on his face.“It can’t be. Perhaps the effects of the antidote haven’t kicked in yet, so
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Always prepared
“Can you cut the act already? You didn’t say anything when Clinton was bullying William before, so why are you jumping to Clinton’s aid when he’s in a difficult situation now? Do you even have a shred of dignity left?” Victoria suddenly voiced out.“Why are you speaking for an outsider when Clinton is your own cousin?” Charlotte frowned.“I only speak for the truth, not blood relations!” Victoria proclaimed, righteously.“Clinton was the one who started this whole thing in the first place, so now he’s getting what he deserves. Since we’re outsiders in their competition, we should just sit and watch and not interfere!”“Why you-!” Charlotte growled, obviously angry at her daughter’s outburst.Although she let Victoria have her way outside, she really could not do anything about her in private.All of her nagging and lectures failed to get to her.She was such a thorn in her side!“This is the last time I’m going to ask, Belmont! Are you giving me the antidote or not?” Clinton demanded
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Noted
After Charlotte left, Victoria let out a sigh of relief while William moved to clean up the remnants of the poison competition that he had participated in with Mr. Cole.Victoria stared at him, watching him work with an infatuation that was almost too easy to make out.William noticed her gaze and asked. “Is there something on my face?”“Nope, just thinking about something.”“What's that?” William asked.Feeling embarrassed, Victoria changed the topic. “So, I guess you are going to be leading the project.”“I'd rather not,” William said.It wasn't that he wasn't a good leader neither was it because he doubted his capabilities.It was simply because he didn't enjoy it.He enjoyed staying on his own and doing things at his own pace.“Are you kidding?” Naturally, Victoria was displeased. “So why did you argue with my cousin and Mr. Cole?”“Because I couldn't just sit back and watch them humiliate you.”“Oh.” Victoria blushed.William pursed his lips, pondering if it was okay to say what

Go to hell!
William, to pass the time, sat off to the side, looking more like a bystander to the match than a participant.Soon enough, Steven and Conrad finished their sparring match with theatrical flourishes, removing their gloves and bowing to their female audience. “Steven, your taekwondo skills have improved tremendously during your time abroad. You must be close to the professional level now!” Conrad exclaimed.Steven chuckled modestly. “Well, between my studies, I managed to reach an eighth-degree black belt. It's nothing too special.”Conrad gasped. “Eighth degree?... Holy, that's incredible!... No wonder I could only last two rounds against you!... You must be tougher than most professionals!”“Don't sell yourself short, Conrad. At least you held out for two rounds. With my rank, I'm probably as good as it gets around these parts.”“Steven, you are just amazing. A black belt at such a young age, that's unbelievable!” Conrad praised. William's head was spinning from their ridiculous mu
Cold-blooded
When Elena finally stopped, Celia’s face was swollen and blotched, with streaks of blood coming out the corner of her mouth.“Why? Why?” Celia asked breathlessly, trying to regain her bearings.“You dare to ask why? Are you unaware of what you have done, you bitch!” Elena reached forCelia’s hair again and slammed her head hard to the ground.Blood gushed out immediately. A mixture of blood and wine dripped down Celia’s face.The sight of Celia lying on the ground and unable to get up did not garner any sympathy from Elena; in fact, it seemed to excite her.She raised her leg and stomped hard on Celia’s palm.“Ah!” Celia could finally hold in no longer, and a shriek escaped her. A piercing pain overtook her senses.“You shameless tramp! You like flirting around with other men, don’t you? I’d like to see if you’d ever seduce my boyfriend again!” A crazed smile crept up on Elena’s face as she repeatedly stepped on Celia’s hand with her stilettos.Each time, it struck with greater bruta
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
