“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.

  • Are you an idiot?

    As William and Killmonger continued to exchange words, The onlookers began whispering to each other.“Damn it. I thought he was a smart guy, but I didn’t expect him to be stupid enough to mock Killmonger right in his face! He’s really brazen!”“Killmonger has the grounds to say such arrogant things! He’s backed by the Valentins, and Killmonger and his underlings all have extraordinary combat skills. You can tell from their strong muscles! But what exactly does this young man have? He has nothing, and yet he dares to be so arrogant in front of Killmonger. I bet he has no idea what he has to face!”“Too bad! I was just thinking that if he pleaded with Killmonger and begged for mercy, Killmonger just might let him off. But nothing good will come out of offending Killmonger!”In the eyes of the people familiar with the hierarchy of notable families in Avalon, Killmonger was not to be trifled with.No one thought that William, who spoke arrogantly in front of Killmonger, would still be abl

    The food was absolutely revolting, and after some of this food mixture was forced into his mouth, the manager couldn’t help but throw up.“You’re the one who concocted this upscale dish, and you also said yourself that it’s a blessing to be able to eat such a meal. So, gobble it all up!” William said coldly.The manager was practically on the verge of collapsing.He had planned to humiliate William, but it backfired, and he ended up having a taste of his own medicine.It simply felt horrible!“You… Don’t act like a madman! Killmonger! Killmonger, help!” The manager suddenly yelled for help.When Daly heard this name, she shuddered and immediately said to William, “Oh no! Sir, leave quickly! Now! Leave right now!”But it was already too late.As soon as she finished speaking, several burly men with their arms exposed walked out of the staff aisle not far away and surrounded William aggressively.“Punk, you’re trying to leave after beating someone up? Have you asked for our permission?”

  • Sharing a blessing

    William smiled faintly.But before William could respond to Daly, Tatiana’s face turned sullen, and the chubby lobby manager immediately stopped in front of William. “Hah, are you trying to leave just like that after offending Miss Tatiana? You’re being overly idealistic! If you two don’t finish the food on the floor, neither of you will leave!”Daly looked at the fierce and hostile lobby manager and pleaded, “Sir, this matter really has nothing to do with my friend. I’ll eat the scraps. Please just let him leave!”Her beautiful face was still stained with undried tears, and despite wearing a waitress uniform, she was still as beautiful as ever.Many people in the hall couldn’t help but be amazed by her beauty and take pity on her.They could also tell that Tatiana abhorred Daly because of the latter’s stunning looks and thus decided to humiliate her in public.But everyone knew that Tatiana was from a prestigious and formidable family, so no one was willing to stand up for a waitress

  • A low level trick

    After a long internal psychological struggle, the waitress finally nodded in reluctance. “Okay… I-I’ll eat it! Miss Tatiana, I hope you’ll keep to your word and not pursue this matter any further.”A smug smile appeared on Tatiana’s face, and she said slowly, “That’s for sure. As long as you polish off the rice on the floor, I’ll forgive you for soiling my dress!”The waitress gritted her teeth and slowly squatted down to eat the filthy, saliva-stained rice while curbing her nausea.All of a sudden, a strong hand grabbed her arm to stop her.“Don’t listen to her!” A mellow and familiar voice suddenly rang in the waitress’s ears.She raised her head in surprise and happened to face William’s angry gaze.At this moment, the waitress, whose name was Daly, face was stained with tears and was all red and swollen.William had seen everything that happened just now.He looked at Tatiana, who was sitting in front of him.She was indeed wearing a luxury brand dress, but it was clean and comple

  • The customer is king

    At this moment, a middle-aged chubby man wearing a tag labeled ‘lobby manager’ pinned on his chest walked over and asked the angry woman politely, “Miss Tatiana, may I ask what happened here?”“Are you blind? It’s all your waitress’s fault. God knows what’s wrong with her eyes. She spilled the soup all over me. Now that my dress is soiled. How can I wear it? This restaurant owes me an explanation!”When the chubby lobby manager heard this, he immediately scolded the waitress next to him, “What’s wrong with your eyes? Or is there something wrong with your brain? All you had to do was serve the soup, and yet you spilled it all over Miss Tatiana!“Do you know who Miss Tatiana is? She’s Miss Tatiana Valentin from one of the top families of Avalon. Her dress costs more than thirty grand, a price you can’t even afford even if you work here for a decade! Tell me, what do you want to do?”“I’m sorry. I… I really didn’t mean to do it. I don’t know how it happened…” The waitress was so frighten

  • Out of the blue

    “Sir Will, you’re back!” Seeing William, Katie stood up and greeted him. “Have a chat with Ms. Rodriguez. I’ll go check on my sister.”“That’s okay.” He smiled and turned his attention to Celia. “Why are you here?”“I’m here to thank you.” She flashed him a rare smile. “If you hadn’t saved me, I would have been screwed. Never in my life would I have thought that Harold was a phony bastard.”“You’re most welcome. Though I didn't do anything to him,” he replied unemotionally.“You didn't, but you had already told me how dangerous he was.” Her tone softened. “Look, I know you're upset. There was a misunderstanding. I’ll apologize to you on her behalf. We’re sorry.”William was rather surprised by her action.In his recollection, Celia was never one to back down.It was unusual of her to offer an apology.Still, the apology arrived too late.“There’s no need to apologize. After all, this is not the first time I’m misunderstood. It doesn’t matter to me.” He shrugged, looking unbothered.“W

    “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

    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

    “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
