"William! If you dare to return home today, I'll kill you with my bare hands" The raging voice of a woman sounded from the other end of the phone and the harshness of her tone could be felt.
William stood there with his phone and remained silent, listening to her screaming voice, "I asked you to wash all the toilets and dishes in the house but you have become bold enough to disrespect me"
"I had to go to work. Mother-in-law..." He tried to speak but she interrupted him harshly.
"How dare you call me mother? I'm not your mother-in-law. I don't accept you into the Wilson family. You're only the trash whom my daughter has been forced to marry and stay with. You must agree to divorce my daughter or I'll make your already miserable life more miserable, you trash-picking loser! "
William was already used to this daily confrontation but today, he didn't expect her to go this extreme and insult him.
The Old Master Wilson had been responsible for arranging the marriage between his granddaughter and William, and no one could challenge him because of the ultimate power he had as the head of the Wilson family.
Now that the old man lay sick in the hospital, his in-laws are trying their best to frustrate William and force him to divorce without the knowledge of the head.
William is not surprised by all of this.
They have always been cold to him and referred to him as the trash of the family. For five years, he has been a live-in son-in-law who did all the cooking and chores in the house until he managed to get a job as a garbage collector.Still, they didn't see him as significant.
His wife, Tracey, was one of the five eminent beauties in all of New Spring City and they wanted her to be married to one of the formidable tycoons in the country. She was a beauty that was desired by business owners who were worth billions of dollars and even had numerous assets in their names.Such an engagement will cause the Wilson family to leap to the top of the social ladder and they would become one of the most significant power players in the City, but they didn't expect the old head of the family to tie Tracey to a nobody like William.
He had appeared out of nowhere with no background and offered a little help to the Wilson family five years ago.No one understood why an intelligent man like Master Wilson would make such a terrible mistake.
Was he trying to repay William's help by giving out his granddaughter? All efforts to make him change his mind all these years have proved futile.He sighed dejectedly and said, "I love my wife very much. I've done everything for her and will remain the best man in her life"
"Is that so? Whatever...Come home immediately, we have a guest and I need you to cook for him, and serve him "
William's brow furrowed slightly because he was surprised at how calm she had suddenly become.His Mother-in-law was a difficult woman to reason with." A guest? Is the Father-in-law back? "
" Don't ask me questions. Get back immediately! " William heard a few beeps and realized she had hung up the call on him.
He was planning to leave for home already so he didn't think much about her demand and drove his garbage truck away.
With a smile on his face, he glanced at the bunch of cream-colored sunflowers on the seat beside him.
He had saved up his salary since five years ago for this day and endured the ridicule from his wife's family.He tried calling his wife to tell her about the surprise he got for her birthday but she wasn't taking his calls.
"Hey Tracey, I've not been able to take care of you since we got married but today I bought something exquisite for your birthday. I'll meet you at home" William sent a voice note to her.It was impossible to hide his excitement as he sang with a loud voice and occasionally checked to see if his wife had replied.
"She must be busy" He assumed.William was supposed to drive to the landfill site where he usually disposed of the waste from the garbage truck but went home instead because he was worried about his wife.
He tried calling Tracey again but it wasn't going through anymore.Could she have encountered a problem at work?
She should be back home already since today was her birthday and the rest of the family would be celebrating with her.He arrived at the Wilson's villa and was surprised to see the Rolls-Royce Phantom parked in the front of the building.
This made his brows furrow because no Wilson had this brand of vehicle except there was a rich guest around.His Mother-in-law informed him already and he believed it was his father-in-law who had been away for a while.William hurried into the foyer of the building and was welcomed by the loud laughter and chatter.
He was approaching the great room in the villa when he heard the masculine voice of a man saying, "... it's worth more than what your useless husband makes in a lifetime. I bid and got this Crimson Scarlet at an underground auction for 10 million just to show my love for T"This made William enter quickly into the living room and was shocked by what he saw.
His eyes turned dark in anger and he tightened his fist uncontrollably. This can't be.Tracey was smiling sheepishly under the speech of the man in Armani suit who had his hand wrapped around her slender waist.
His mother-in-law was present in the room with them and there was also the butler of the family who was standing by.Who is this man who dares to hold his wife this way?
"You! Let go of her now!" William roared madly as he charged forward.
They all turned in his direction and there was a look of shock on the face of Tracey.
She panicked but demanded, "William, what are you doing here?"He noticed that she didn't break out of the man and this made his heart quake."What am I doing here? This is our house. Who is this man? What is he doing here" The moment William asked this question, the mysterious man audaciously pulled Tracey closer to himself and placed a kiss on her forehead.
Such audacity!
William rushed to attack him but Tracey was quick to move and protect the man with her body, forcing him to stop abruptly.
Staring fearlessly at William, she said, "William, let us get a divorce"
William gasped in surprise and took a step back."What did you say?"He was no longer sure if he was hearing this well.Her face twitched uncontrollably and she snapped at him, "Are you deaf?""Wifey, what are you saying?""Don't dare call me that nonsense! ," She yelled and glared dangerously at him, "I'm not your wife. Do you even think you deserve to call me that? If not for grandfather, do you think I'll be associated with a loser like you?""We're getting a divorce and that's final"His Mother-in-law puffed her chest and said in disdain, "Now, you have heard it from my daughter. You must agree to divorce, William. She has a bright future and cannot waste it with a loser like you. Old Master Wilson is old and has become short-sighted"William had a questioning gaze as he looked straight at Tracey who was standing in front of him.All these years, she hadn't yielded to the pressure of her family and he had gotten comfortable.Was this because of the presence of Old Master Wilson at
William turned around and started walking away before the butler could get to him. His Mother-in-law was still ranting but he was no longer listening because his heart was broken from the betrayal of Tracey. How could she do this to him when he had never hurt her before? He even forgot to bring her the Radiant Monarch Flower but it doesn't matter anymore. The diamond necklace she was now wearing was valued at 10 million according to that rich man whom she had chosen instead of him. Only if she knew that he could get her one that is ten times that value and not bulge about it. "I've not always been a loser, Tracey...."William got into his garbage truck and drove to the landfill site to dispose of the waste, and of course, clear his head. He couldn't stop thinking about Tracey's action and her demand to get a divorce. She didn't even feel remorseful. He arrived at the site and got down from the truck when two Maybach vehicles drove roughly into the site and six men in black su
William was awakened the next morning by the buzzing noise of his alarm and he groaned lazily.He had spent the night in his garbage truck which was parked by the side of the road."Five AM" He mumbled lazily and rubbed his eyes.The events of the previous day came rushing into his head almost immediately and that made him wear a sad look.Tracey had betrayed him but most importantly, he had unwillingly announced his return to his rightful position in his family's conglomerate empire. The ring was enchanted by his family's secret method that locks up the cultivation of a person temporarily and their access to the family's resources is also restricted.A drop of blood on the ring would unlock the spiritual energy of the person and send a signal to the involved family.The ring wasn't a punishment.He purposely asked for it and vanished to the corner of the world for five years.Now, his existence was announced to his family and his spiritual energy had returned to him. He was back to
William retreated the phone with a sigh and dropped his head defeatedly. "Can you hear that? He is such an idiot!" "Trillions? Is this guy mad?" "Maybe he thinks he can trick someone into falling for that nonsense" "Or maybe he thinks he is a movie" Side talks sipped into William's ears and he lifted to him to realize the many eyes digging into his flesh. What? Did he speak so loud and attract the attention of people? "I saw him drive that garbage truck here," Another woman said, pointing a finger at William whose face was now red. "Look at how he is dressed. He is a trash picker. I know him "" That's right, I knew it, he was familiar. My grandfather usually gives him tips " Someone announced from behind and a few of them giggled. William knew arguing with these people was unnecessary so he ignored them all and walked straight into the Bank. The moment he stepped into the building, a smile curved at the corner of his lip. He raised his head to see the interior that scream
Rose picked up the card and looked at it for a few seconds."Where did you get this fake card?" She had suddenly caught William off guard and he gasped.Is this woman crazy?How dare she call a supreme black card fake?Five years ago, he was the only one with this exclusive card in the entire city.From Rose's perspective, the card was fake.She knew about the platinum card, the gold and silver cards, and the benefits attached to them but a black card?This is definitely a joke.This card was different from the others she knew and it didn't even have the company's logo.This man actually came to make fun of her.She would make sure to disgrace him and then summon the security guards to deal with him.How can a poor man be so brave?Rose took the handheld terminal machine and made to insert the card when William stopped her."You must be new here. I need to meet with your Manager. Only the manager has the device to check my balance"When he said this, her eyes widened, then she laughed
Rose was shivering on the spot and her breathing was hard.The aura imposed by the armed men was threatening even though they had now retreated their guns.'This shabbily dressed loser, is he an important person? Why are they bowing before him? ' She wondered and slowly lifted her head to see William who stood there with a hand in his pocket.This scary squad of the SWAT team who had everyone unable to breathe for fear are now bowing in front of this young man. This is simply unbelievable. Were they acting a movie scene here? The director must be really good but alas there is no camera around. Why are they respecting this ordinary person? Everyone had their questions especially the three women who have been left dumbfounded. Mr. Grey had arrived at the scene and to the greatest shock of everyone, he collapsed to the floor and clung to William's legs."Young Master," The branch manager of Exclusive Avenue Bank cried aloud, "You have finally returned"'What!?' Everyone gasped in sh
"You're forgetting to return my card," William said so casually like nothing had happened. "Huh?" She was stunned. Quickly, she moved to the table and picked up the handheld machine only to see the message on the screen. 'Card is unreadable'This was the first time she had seen such a message. Rose dared to not delay as she pulled out the black card and handed it over to William with the slight bow of her head. Her fingers fidgeted as she did and she glanced in the direction of her boss, hoping he would come to her rescue. There was a fierce look on Grey's face instead. He scolded her, "Rose, what did you do?" Somehow, he knew she had done something wrong. Young Master William knew the right place to insert his black card. Rose's legs went jelly and she dropped to her knees, "Forgive me, Mr. Grey. I didn't know he was an important person. He warned me to not insert the card and requested to see you. I was wrong" She knew how ruthless her boss could be when he got annoyed.
William knew his way to the right office and was inside already.Grey joined him and stood beside Williams.He tried to tame his curiosity but he ended up asking, "Why did you cut away?"Months after William had helped establish himself in this city, there was a global message.The second-generation heir of the Miller family, William, had denounced his position until further notice.It came as a shock to everyone in the system.And just like that William vanished and left no traces behind.For years, all efforts to find him proved futile.William smiled softly and rested his back on the sofa, "Personal reasons. We Shouldn't talk about the past, Grey. How have your life been?"Grey almost sobbed as he clenched his hand, "Old friend, how can you ask this of me? Everyone was worried about you and I couldn't sleep for months"William sniffed, "You're always being emotional, Grey. Here" He handed over the black card to Grey and continued to speak, "I believe the restriction placed on my a
What Dale Rockefeller didn't know is that Amelia Sinclair was a resilient woman who would never give in that easily.She would rather fight the storm all by herself."I won't hesitate to have the guards throw you out if you come here again" She walked past him, leaving him stunned to his toes.How can a woman be this stubborn?Earlier, he was very much confident in himself since he believed his family power would be her last option to use but she had simply waved off his offer to help.This made his body tensed up in rage.She even threatened to throw him out of the building.Did she forget who he was?He was the heir of the power-playing family and should be respected by a second-rate family like the Sinclair.They should be grateful that he even offered to help them.Just then, a young man in a fine suit and tie came running up to him with a worried expression on his face, "Young Master, It's really bad, someone is helping the Sinclair""What nonsense? Which power player dares to of
"Ms. Sinclair, the board of directors still awaits your presence. They have refused to leave until they see you today" "Just a moment, and I'll be there." Amelia hung up the call from her assistant before exiting the office with a cold expression on her face. All her life, she had worked to impress her family and get a good position at their Horizon Capital Holdings. As the CEO, she had helped to grow the company within a small time frame and caused it to rise among several competitors in the country, but right before her eyes, everything was about to crumble. The Snow family are really shameless to try and pick up on them. 80% of the total holding shares of the company have been removed already and investors are pulling out as the clock ticks through. It was only a matter of time before Horizon Capital Holdings would go bankrupt. The sole business of her family. Amelia was approaching the conference room when she almost bumped into someone whose sight caused her to frown in di
Meanwhile at the hospital where Harry Snow was hospitalized..."What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by you couldn't find a doctor?" The body of the head of the Snow family shook with rage as he spoke."Mr. Snow, you have to understand. Let me explain." The Butler of the family tried to pacify him, but he wouldn't listen."What is there to explain? That you have become unreliable""What happened?" General Jacob, who was seated to the side with a cold demeanor, finally involved himself.He could easily tell that something wasn't right.The Butler bowed his head slightly in respect before explaining, "The man this old doctor referred us to is none other but that arrogant man himself, William Miller. I can't believe he is a doctor""Huh?" Mr. Snow was dumbfounded."A Doctor, hmm. Negative spiritual energy injection. No wonder he is so brazen about this; he really knows Eastern practice," There was a scornful laugh at the corner of the General's lips."This is definitely
I was wrong"William took in a deep breath and walked past her in the direction of the door, "This is settled I guess. Claire, do well to entertain our guests and see to their demands"He paused and turned back to see Claire, "Don't forget what we talked about, I want to see results soon""Yes, Boss. I'll start working on it immediately""Have a nice day, everyone," He said casually, and the aura around him was no longer terrifying.Ruth was left in a state of shock as she watched him walk out of the office.He was back to the normal person she thought he was.Was this man intentionally pretending to be ordinary?Daniel hurried out to stop William and said with heavy breathing, "Mr. Miller, what happened today--""Oh, C'mon. This doesn't affect our relationship; you should train your daughter well to never look down on anyone," William told him very calmly."Yes, Yes, Young-- I mean Mr. Miller, I'll train her very well""Sorry I can't stay to see you myself, there are a few things I n
Ruth stood stunned to the spot and could not mutter a single word.How?How could this ordinary-looking man be the CEO of this big place?It was simply unbelievable, and she wanted to break out of her nightmare, but this was real."Young Master, it's really my fault for not training my daughter right; allow me to take responsibility for this." Daniel's face was pale as he tried to pacify William, who he believed was angry at that moment.This was a powerful young master; how could he overlook the misbehavior of his daughter, who he knew could be reckless?He was skeptical about allowing her to handle the contract in the first place, but he decided to give her a chance.After all, she was not just his only daughter but his only child as well.The smile on William's face did not wither as he got to Daniel and placed his hand on his shoulder, "Good friend, don't be this respectful, this is no fault of yours"Daniel gasped, not believing that the young master didn't take this to heart as
Daniel Louis' body shook slightly as he remained in a bent position, and beads of sweat even appeared on his forehead. He didn't expect to meet the Young Master himself here. When he first met this man at the bank, he had his first experience of his influence and understood that he was no ordinary man. Since then, he had decided to be associated with such a powerful man despite knowing only a little about him. When this young master turned out to be the big boss behind the feared Quantumleap Company, he realized that he was someone who could not be offended. For this reason, he doubted his daughter when she told him that someone was impersonating such a powerful man. Ruth was stunned but she quickly composed herself and said, "Father, does your back hurt? Why are you bending that way?" "Quit saying nonsense and bow quickly." He scolded his daughter in response, but she only stared at him in confusion. "Father, what are doing? That's the useless man who is pretending to be the
“What are you talking about? Haven’t you signed the contract with them yet, or you don’t know how to?” Daniel Louis sounded a little impatient from the other end of the phone.“C’mon, father, don’t be this way; you have to listen to me about this.” Ruth stamped her feet on the ground and pouted like she had been wronged.“Well, I don’t understand what you are saying, how can you say someone is pretending to be Mr. William Miller? Were you unable to discuss the terms and decided to come up with this excuse?” Daniel’s voice sounded like he was scolding her, and this made her frown even more.“Father, why are you this way? You have to listen to me”“Well, I don’t know how to believe this. No one will dare to impersonate Mr. Miller in a company such as Quantumleap unless they want to die,” He said firmly and confidently.This made Ruth smile and puffed her chest even more arrogantly.“Well, someone wants to die. One of the cleaners is pretending to be him and even had the guts to stay in
Ruth regained her composure and started to laugh as she stared at William who remained seated with no words."CEO?" She laughed even harder.If she hadn't met this ordinary looking man earlier perhaps she would have believed this nonsense but now, she won't be deceived."Ms. Louis, you have to apologize to Mr. Miller right now or you will suffer the consequences. Do you have any idea who you are talking to?" Claire's body shook with rage as she spoke."Consequences?" She scoffed, "How dare you even refer to him as Mr. Miller? Do you think you can use the name of the boss of the place anyhow?"Her eyes lit up, "Now I understand, you're no secretary. You two must be playing around, pretending to be something you're no, Do you think I won't notice?"Claire couldn't help but shake her head at the ignorance of this woman."You don't know what you're saying. If Mr. Louis is here, he won't say this nonsenses, do you want to spoil the business of your father? Not everyone gets this opportunit
Claire looked back into the office to get approval from William before ushering the young lady in."Please come in Ms. Louis...""Ah... Just call me Ruth." She quickly pretended to be respectful, knowing she was now in the presence of the big boss of Quantumleap Company.Others might not know but she had begged her father to allow her to be involved with the big company.She had just returned from studying overseas only to hear that the big company was back and the new CEO was even a young but mysterious person. She managed to convince her father that she wanted to help with the progress of his company but what she really wanted was the CEO behind it. He must be very handsome and to be behind such a big company, he must be wealthy beyond explanation. Thinking about this made her face red and she tried to compose herself as she entered the office with the secretary.Her face was all bright and full of a smile but she froze the moment she lifted her head. What or rather, who she did
