The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Dinner plans
“Father, what are you talking about?” Amara asked, feigning a confused expression.Zayn let out a disappointed sigh. “It was simply because you lot were easily corrupted. Your greed was too much for me to handle. I agree, it was my mistake for letting you grow with such disgusting desires, and I take full responsibility. However, this is my way of making amends.”Ahmed and Amara exchanged looks with one another, their expressions swiftly shifting from confused one moment to cold the next.“You should have remained in your dreams, old man.” Ahmed coldly said.Zayn shook his head. “You could have kept on in the family as elders. Why did you have to betray this family!”“Because you forced our hands!... You could have just given the assets to us but you decided to give that little bitch. You expect us to not do anything about that?”“In the years since I've been dreaming, there has been no significant progress. Instead, the company continues to detract from its original objectives. Is th

Celia pursed her lips before ultimately shaking her head. “Not tonight. I have a meeting tonight.”“Huh?... You didn't tell me about any meetings.” Ava replied before asking. “Who are you meeting up with?”“That's not important.”“Oh come on, don't be like that. At least tell your little sister what you got going on.”“Don't stress it, Ava, I'm not telling.”Ava pouted. “No fair, why do you hide things from me?”“Leave, we'll talk later.”Visibly upset, Ava stormed out of the room while Celia let out a sigh.She couldn't let anyone know that she was going to meet with William, after all, her family still despised him.She despised him as well… but, he had saved her life one too many times for her to just ignore it.They had ended things on a bad note, so she felt guilty, which is why she wanted to make up for that with dinner tonight.Hopefully, everything would go just as she planned. ***Lakeside Hotel was situated in an excellent location within Avalon City, bordering the beautifu
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Throwing weight around
Taking a moment to regain her composure, Ava asked the security guard. “How much does the regular VIP cost?” “A deposit of five hundred thousand dollars.” The security guard said with a warm smile.“Five hundred thousand?... That's not much better at all!” Ava said in annoyance. “ We are just here for a meal. It won't cost so much. Can't you just let us in!?... I'll make sure you get handsomely tipped!”“... Ehmm, I can't really do anything about that ma'am.”Ava didn't even know how to respond as she stared dumbfoundedly at the security guard.If she had known that the restaurant at Lakeside charged such exorbitant prices just to let people in, she would never have chosen to go there in the first place!“So ma'am, which would you be going with?” The security guard asked while putting on a professional smile.“What do you mean which would I be going with?... Do you really expect me to pay such ridiculous prices just to get in?”“Well…”“Get me your manager, I'll talk to him personall
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates The beggar is actually the owner!?
Due to the tantrums that Ava and Andre were throwing, the others in the restaurant were naturally disturbed and for this, they did not look kindly on the duo.With no other choice, the waiter took his leave to call for the manager while Ava chuckled before addressing William. “Just you wait.”William rolled his eyes, as a sigh of exasperation escaped his lips. Just then, he heard a familiar voice. “Ava, Andre, what are the both of you doing here?”Everyone glanced to the side to find Celia approaching them.She had a dinner gown on and had put on a mild amount of makeup with a few jewelry pieces as well.Though simple, it was enough to take away the breaths of most men, leaving them breathless and thirsting for her attention. “Celia, oh my goodness, you look stunning,” Ava said as she rushed over to embrace Celia, who was still perplexed by the current situation.Harold beamed as he remarked. “I have to agree, Miss Rodriguez, if I knew you planned on appearing so stunning, I would h

“Mister Belmont, should we remove these troublemakers from the restaurant?” The manager asked, causing Andre and Ava to tense up.If they were kicked out, it would end up being a great humiliation and everyone would mock them for it. Just as they began to panic, William remarked. “No need for that. We should provide good service to our customers. Furthermore, they are still our privileged customers. Give them a twenty percent discount for everything they would be ordering.”“Very well, sir.” The manager nodded.“What a showoff. Frankly, he only knows how to leech off women!”“That’s right! He thinks that he is such a big shot when in fact, he is just a freeloader!”Ava and Andre grumbled, cursing under their breath. They were not happy about how things turned out.“Thanks for the offer. However, I would have to decline your gift,” Harold cut in suddenly.With a knowing smile on his lips, he caught the attention of the other women around with his charm and attractive features.Ava too
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Drugged?
“What a pity. Harold, if you hadn’t gone overseas to further your career, you would have been my brother–in–law by now!” Andre tried to butter Harold up.“Absolutely! Just so you know, after you left for your studies, Celia has been pining after you for a long time!” Ava chimed in as well.“Ava! Where did you get this idea?” Celia frowned in annoyance.“I’m telling the truth! If it weren’t for Harold going overseas, you would never have married William!” Ava said stubbornly.Before Celia could retort, Harold cut in, “Alright, alright. Let bygones be bygones. We should have our meal before it gets cold. The food here is delicious.”Ava and Andre shut up and tucked in voraciously.“Andre and I are going down to get some groceries. The both of you can take your time.” In the middle of the meal, Ava stopped eating and gave Andre a knowing look.“Oh, yes! I’ll accompany you.” Andre understood his assignment, and they left the table quickly.Clearly, they were trying to give Celia and Harol
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates A despicable man
“If I’m not mistaken, he must have taken the antidote before this,” William remarked, unwilling to believe that the waiter would like what Harold had done.“Nonsense!” Celia bellowed, her expression turning dark in an instant. “William, you are going too far! Harold has proven his innocence. Why are you still being so difficult?”“I’m telling the truth.”“Well, I just think that you are making up stories!” There was a hint of anger in Celia’s voice as she spoke.Evidently, William felt hostility toward Harold.However, that was no reason to drag Harold’s name through the mud. It would be wrong to do so!“If you still don’t believe me, then check his pockets. There must be some evidence of white powder on him!” William tried turning Harold’s pockets inside out to prove his point, but this was the last straw for Celia.“That’s enough!” Celia splashed the rest of the wine on William’s face, catching him off guard. “Have you not done enough damage for one day? Why are you as stubborn as
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Sir Donovan
“Oh my goodness!” Celia could hardly believe her ears as she remarked. “Take me there now!”“I'll come with you.” Harold offered.“Alright, thank you.”And so, together, the trio quickly hurried to save Andre.Meanwhile, back in the restaurant, William was seated in the manager's office with the manager only for a waiter to barge in again.“Sir, there's a problem.”“You'd best ensure that it's not a false alarm else I won't hesitate to break your legs!” The manager warned, unwilling to let William experience what he'd just experienced with Harold and Celia.“It's not that. There's a commotion in the garden.”“Then get security to handle it.”“That's the problem, sir, the people involved in the commotion aren't people that can be easily touched.”William let out a sigh as he got to his feet. “Lead the way.”Perhaps he would be able to use this as a means to forget the incident with Celia.***There were a lot of people gathered in the garden.Some of them were spectators. Others were i

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
Get lost
However, regardless of the reason, the killer panicked in the face of impending death and hurriedly said, “Don’t… don’t kill me! I’ll tell you anything you want to know! Yes, it was a young man named Harold O'Malley who gave me a hundred and fifty thousand to get me to help him kill Paul Hendricks without leaving a trace! If you have any other questions, I will definitely tell you everything I know! Just don’t kill me! Please… ah!”William frowned and picked a small stone on the table next to him.Then he flicked it at the killer.Like a bullet out of a gun, the marble-sized stone directly pierced through the brow of the killer, making him stop speaking.He would never have the chance to say anything again in his life.If the killer could be as tough as he was at the beginning and abide by the rules of his industry, perhaps William would have still thought highly of him.But William didn’t see the need to be kind to someone who was greedy for money, afraid of death, and would kill any
Fishing out the real culprit
Paul and Victoria had previously been engaged, and through his intuition, William sensed that there might be some kind of connection between the two.The most direct speculation William made was that someone didn’t want the marriage alliance between the Smiths and the Hendricks to happen.The killer in black sneered and said adamantly, “Do you think I will tell you? In our line of work, the rule of thumb is to keep our lips sealed about our clients’ information. I won’t tell even if you kill me!”William raised his eyebrows.The killer seemed to be quite a person of principle.But seeing the panic on his face that he couldn’t hide, William reckoned that he probably wouldn’t be as tight-lipped as he claimed to be.If subjected to some torture methods, he certainly wouldn’t be so unrelenting.William had more than a hundred ways to force this killer to speak.But William really couldn’t be bothered.“The person who sent you to kill Paul Hendricks is Harold O'Malley, right?” William sudd
