“Ah, it seems I made a mistake, Miss Smith.” Scar said as he took a step forward.

Victoria raised a brow. “What mistake?”

“This invitation is not a request. You will be coming with me. But it is up to you if you will follow me the easy way or the hard way. Ultimately, the choice is yours.”

“Are you trying to go against the Smith family?” Victoria questioned, attempting to use her family as a shield.

Scar smirked as he replied. “I wouldn't dare.”

“Then…”

“But it doesn't change the fact that you will be coming with me. Now then, how would you like to come with us?... Free or bound?... Choose quickly, I have a short temper.”

Victoria paused as she realized that whatever was happening was a conspiracy.

The fact that Scar wasn't wary of her identity meant two things; the person backing him was either on par with her or was someone from her family.

She was well aware that not everyone in her family was happy with her identity as heiress of the Smith family.

Regardless, stopping her from mak

    “Watch out!” Victoria exclaimed only for an agonized scream to be heard the next moment.She froze in her tracks, her eyes widening in disbelief as she realized that the person who screamed wasn't William but was instead the thug with the steel pipe.Clutching his stomach while staggering backward, the thug stared at William with a shocked expression on his face before he fell to the ground, never to move again.Meanwhile, his weapon, the steel pipe, was now in William's hand.Scar and his men, who were laughing, immediately went silent as their gaze alternated between their fallen comrade and William, who remained standing.“Anyone else?” William inquired in a provocative tone.Scar glared at him as he gave the order. “Take that bastard down!”His subordinates immediately rushed William, intending to make him pay for whatever he'd done to one of their own but unfortunately, they overestimated their capabilities.They didn't even get the chance to land a single successful hit as Willi

    The consensus amongst the public was that with her current fame, Celia Rodriguez was destined to be a superstar who would make waves across not just the country but the world.She had everything that was needed to do so and that was why people were bending over backwards to have a relationship with her.The women were jealous and the men were fighting just for a chance to be with her.Meanwhile, Celia didn't pay much attention to the commotion that her presence had caused as she was used to it by now.Why wouldn't they adore her?... She was Celia Rodriguez, the next big thing in the entertainment industry.She felt that whatever she wanted, she could get, and tonight, the highlight of today's event, which was the plot of land that Lucas had promised her, would surely come into her possession. Just then, Lucas got down from the car as well, immediately drawing attention as the attendees began to murmur among themselves.“Isn't that Lucas Vazquez?”“That's him for sure. What is he doin

    Celia glanced towards the person to find that it was Victoria Smith causing her to wonder who Victoria was referring to as her benefactor.There's no way it was William, right?Meanwhile, Victoria quickly arrived next to William and placed an arm around his own, catching everyone off guard, including William.Before now, when Victoria had learned that William was being confronted by his ex-wife, she thought about not getting involved, after all, it could be considered a family matter.But then, recalling how he had saved her daughter when it wasn't his place to do so and how he had saved her from Scar when it also wasn't his place to do so, caused her to feel indebted to him.Hence the reason she decided to support William and to drive the point home that fighting with William was the same as fighting with her, she decided to link arms with him, giving off the impression that he was her date for the night. Naturally, this drew the attention of the guests in attendance as well as the

    “Blinded by ambition?” Celia snorted. “Perhaps you are the one that lacks it. Else, what sane man would decide to be a kept man while his wife dominates the world?”William offered no response, not because he didn't have one but because he saw no need to give one.He was a man who had achieved everything and only wished to rest.He had used what he had to place Celia in her current position yet she ignored that, thinking that she was dominating the entertainment industry due to her hard work.Celia sneered thinking that she had struck a nerve in William. “Cat caught your tongue?” “I do hope that you do not fall now that you have gotten so high. It would be a shame.” William calmly replied causing Celia to retort.“You don't have to worry about that because that's never going to happen.”“You sound so sure.” “Because I am,” Celia said before shifting her attention to Victoria. “So you can enjoy your boy toy until you get tired of him, which you will, mind you, after which, just like

    “Of course!” James exclaimed arrogantly before turning to Victoria. “How about you accompany me for the rest of the night, young miss?... I believe we have more in common than you can imagine.”Not missing the insult he snuck into his words, William remarked. “I have been courteous to you so far, Mr. Wilson; I ask that you do the same.”“Unfortunately, I can't. You see, unlike every other person in this room, I am a man of substance who has served as the stock advisor of several companies for years. I could get you kicked out of here if I wanted with a simple snap of my hands so you'd best keep shut.”By now, their exchange had already drawn the attention of guests as they watched the showdown, enthralled by the drama unfolding.Victoria seemed amused as she inquired. “Do you know who William is?”“I do but I have no idea why he is regarded as such a big deal. A doctor is still a doctor, no matter how good he is. How much could he possibly have?”Victoria ignored him as she turned to

    “There's no way that good for nothing has 1.5 million saved up, right?” Ava asked as she stared at William.He had just made a bid, catching her as well as Lucas off guard as they thought of him as a poor man who needed Celia to survive.Celia however, remarked. “Well, he was once a well-known medical practitioner, so it's no surprise that he has a bit of money saved up.”“That's true.” Lucas nodded in agreement. “Which means he is most likely utilizing everything he has.”“How foolish. Instead of him to save himself, he is thinking about saving children.” Ava said in a mocking tone. “I'm sure he is only trying to do this to entice Miss Smith.”Celia snorted. “Heh, if that's his plan, then he is beyond foolish.”“I agree. The Smith family is a wealthy family capable of buying whatever they want whenever they want. Does he think that a meager 1.5 can make an impression on the heiress of such a reputable family?” As the trio continued to gossip about William, the auctioneer replied to

    In truth, Victoria was also surprised that William would place such a bid as she didn't expect him to have that amount of money but it seemed she was wrong.In truth, William had no idea the exact amount he had in his savings account, but he knew one thing, and that was that he was wealthier than everyone else in the auction hall!All because he never really needed money, he never bothered to check his balance but at the very least, his account had ten billion dollars in it!“And if he doesn't?... Have you forgotten that I am here?” Victoria shot back, catching Ava off guard.She was surprised as she glanced at Celia, expecting some form of support.The next instant, Celia loudly said, drawing attention to herself. “80.”Finally, William turned in her direction but instead of annoyance, his eyes seemed to hold a trace of mockery in them toward her. “100.” William calmly remarked before adding. “Tread lightly, Miss Rodriguez, you might end up falling into serious debt if you continue.

  • Her way of doing things

    “Alright, since we’ve resolved the matter, let’s go for a few more rounds of drinks,” Eden said, calling up his driver and ushering them into his car.Just as they were about to depart, more than ten black SUVS screeched to a halt in front of the restaurant, surrounding it entirely.As the doors opened, a group of fighters with batons in hand got off and barged into the restaurant with a murderous look.“Dang! Weren’t those the Cavendishs’ men?” Eden nervously asked.He thought they were lucky to have left in time. If they had been slower by even two minutes, they probably wouldn’t have been able to escape then.“Victoria, will your boyfriend be alright?” Angelina was worried.After all, William had saved her earlier. She would feel bad if something happened to him.“Don’t worry. He can handle it.” Victoria smiled faintly.She was aware of his abilities.Fighting a few ordinary fighters would be like a breeze to him.“I don’t think so. He only has two fists. Even if he had skills, how

  • Not afraid

    “Did I say you could leave?” William coldly asked.“You… what do you want?” His body felt like it was about to fall apart as he clenched his jaw.“You think you can act as if nothing happened and escape just like that? Think again. Get down on your knees and apologize to everyone here,” William ordered coldly.“Never!” he refused immediately.“Oh?” William raised his eyebrows and gave him a resounding slap.“You dare hit me? I’m from the Cavendish family!” the middle aged man bellowed.“That slap is for the Cavendish family.” After saying that, William landed two more slaps, leaving the man dazed and unable to steady himself.Eden’s expression changed as he watched the scene unfold before him. “William, you’re crazy! Stop this instant!”Amad added with a dark expression, “The Cavendish family is very powerful. You’re going to die for humiliating them in public. Even if you don’t value your life, don’t drag us down with you!”“Aren’t you guys getting overly worked up for a mere servant

    “Screw you!” The man grabbed a beer bottle and smashed it on Amad’s head.The beer was everywhere in an instant, and Amad was bleeding from the head.“That’s too much!” Amelia jumped out and protested, “Do you know who you just hit? He’s the son of the Walia family!”“I don’t care wherever the fuck he’s from. He’s dead meat if he gets into trouble with the Cavendishs. “The man was ferocious.Amelia choked on anger. “Y-y-you’d better not be a bully!”“What if I am a bully? Whoever tries to step up today will stand in the firing line!” The man gestured, and his bodyguards drew their swords.Their threatening postures immediately shut her up.“Yo, dude! I thought you were a hero just now! Why are you quiet now?” The man slapped Amad on the face repeatedly in an attempt to humiliate him.“Friend, if what you want is money, we have room for discussion,” Amad bit the bullet and negotiated.“Room for a fucking discussion?” The man kicked Amad aside and even spat on him with disdain while he

    “Hmph! Run any slower, and I’ll break your leg!” Eden waved his beer bottle wildly.“Clowns! How dare they make a scene in front of us! Amad seemed arrogant.Amelia’s eyes sparkled with admiration. “I never knew you guys were that great at fighting! It was eye-opening!”“Hah, that was nothing! Back in the day, Amad and I took down ten guys in the bar!” Eden proudly reminisced.She beamed at him. “Is that so? That’s amazing!”“Eden, Amad, thank you so much.” Angelina was grateful to them.She couldn’t picture the outcome if she were caught and dragged away.“Angelina, we’re all schoolmates. Just relax when you’re with us. If you come across any trouble, just come to us, and we’ll take care of it for you!” Eden thumped his chest and promised her.Victoria was rather curious. “Angelina, who did you get into trouble with, to the point that you had to run all the way to Westwood from the empire?”“I got into trouble with the boss of the entertainment agency,” Angelina replied with a sigh.

  • Showing off

    “Stop acting funny William is a great guy. You’ll know soon.” Victoria puffed her chest with a smile.“Victoria, I’m sorry, but you’d be better off dating me if you were giving this doctor a chance,” Amad finally spoke up half-jokingly.He had once pursued Victoria but was turned down.Now that Victoria had her eyes on an ordinary doctor, he started to think he had a chance because he felt that he was way better than William.After all, the Walia family was one of the elites in Westwood.“Right, Victoria, I think Amad’s pretty decent He stayed single just to wait for you. Why don’t you consider him?” Amelia winked at Victoria and started matchmaking“Amad? Nah, he’s not my type,” Victoria shot down the suggestion.“Victoria, now, you’re being harsh. Amad graduated from a prestigious university and he runs a company worth millions. Isn’t he a stronger candidate than a doctor? Amelia analyzed.“Amad’s life is none of my business. My boyfriend is William. Please do not joke about this to

    Celia reached out a hand to stop him but managed to stop herself. She knew that this was the end for them. However, this was still a good ending.So, why? Why did her heart ache so much?Her chest was throbbing so much she couldn’t breathe.“Celia! What happened?” Just then, Ava had arrived.When she spotted Argrave unconscious on the floor, she paled. “Did you do this?”“Sis, William dropped by just now. He knows everything now. We’re never getting back together.” Celia wailed, throwing herself into her sister's embrace.“Shh… Sis’s here.” Ava patted her daughter’s back. “Your status has changed. William isn’t good enough for you anymore.”“B-but I love him! I really want to be with him! Why is God doing this to me? I don’t want to accept this!” Celia wailed tormentedly.“Life isn’t always smooth sailing, Celia. You should look on the bright side instead. I’m sure you’ll be happier in the future.” Ava sighed.“Sis, do you know how much it hurt when I said those hurtful things to him?

  • War of words

    “Right. You didn’t expect me to ruin your fun, or you could’ve continued treating me like a fool.” William shook his head and sneered. “I was an idiot to think that you changed and even tried to accept you. It took me so long to realize that you’ve been toying with me this entire time I don’t get it. What did I ever do to you? Why would you do something like this to get even with me? Why won’t you let me go even though we’re divorced? Was it fun toying with my emotions? Will you never stop until you’ve completely humiliated me?”“Listen to me, William. I really like you. I never wanted to hurt you. Please believe me!” Celia sobbed.“You like me? Then what about him?” William pointed at Argrave. “I saw everything just now. Did you think that I’m blind?”“N-no. That was a misunderstanding.” Celia bit her lip“A misunderstanding? Are you telling me that he was about to rape you?” William’s face darkened instantly. “If you say yes, I’ll make sure to get rid of him!”Hearing that, Celia im

  • Taking advantage

    “Let’s see how you’re going to escape tonight.” Argrave cackled, seeing Celia’s retreating figure. He lifted his glass and took a big gulp before following behind the two women.Inside the presidential suite, Ava helped Celia onto the bed and took off the younger woman’s shoes.She then went to grab a basin of warm water to wipe Celia down.“I feel horrible. I want some water.” Celia lay on the bed weakly, feeling parched.“Water won’t work. I’ll get you some milk. Wait here.” Ava made up an excuse and quickly left the room, bumping into Argrave straight away.“How’s Celia doing?”“She’s fine. Nothing a night’s sleep won’t fix.” Ava smiled.“Where are you heading?” Argrave asked again.“To get Celia some milk to ease her stomach ache.”“I see…” Argrave smiled knowingly. “No one sells milk nearby, so I’m afraid you’ll have to search further. You might have to come back later too.”“Are you sure? I’m pretty sure I saw a grocery store downstairs.” Ava smiled awkwardly.“Are you questioni

    “I’m curious, Mr. Cavendish. Why would you marry her? You could have just had fun without getting married. This doesn’t seem like something you’d do.” The blond man observed.“Don't worry about it, it's a personal affair of mine. Just know that at the end of it all, I will come out even greater than I am now.”His words caused a stir among the crowd, and they immediately began singing his praises.“As expected of Mr. Cavendish, he thinks so far ahead. How impressive!”“He has brains and brawn. He’s amazing!”“Once I finish with this little game, I will become the head of the Cavendishs!” Argrave declared confidently.Competition between Argrave and his brothers was fierce, as everyone wanted to become the head of the family.To win against them, he must have enough strength and power.“Then let us wish you a happy marriage in advance!” The blonde man led the group to offer Argrave a toast. Soon, laughter resonated through the room.8 pm at Lakeside Hotel.William had arrived earlier t
