2024-04-10 02:47:03William 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 the time?He would brag about loving his wife and whenever his Mother-in-law tried to berate him, he wouldn't be moved because he was sure Tracey would never divorce him.
Right now, he didn't know what to think because looking into her eyes, this wasn't the woman he knew.She now had a fierce and determined look."Why?" Just one word escaped Williamthroat but it was as heavy as a rock and his vision was slowly clouded in hot tears.
Five Years ago, he agreed to marry her just to stay low in this City but he fell head-on in love with her after a month.
Since then, he has done everything within his ability to make her happy. She was the first woman he had given his heart to and wanted it to remain that way."Why?" She scoffed, "You're not worth having me, William. I don't want to hear anything anymore. Leave right now. Tomorrow we're getting a divorce and that's final"
The man behind her wrapped his hand around her and caressed her soft skin with a mocking smile on his face.
Tracey had never allowed him to touch her since their wedding and he had always respected her wish but here she was, allowing another man to touch her this way.
His heart was shattered into a thousand pieces by the sight alone.William was enraged and he wanted to attack this man who was saying nothing but Tracey was protecting him.
He would hurt her if he tried to hit the bastard."You really think highly of yourself. Out of the kindness of my heart, I'll give you a new job so you don't have to pick trash around the city anymore" The man in an Armani suit had finally spoken and the mocking smirk on his lips still lingered.
His Mother-in-law, Elizabeth snorted coldly, "My new son-in-law, why do you bother with this loser who has taken to humiliate my beautiful daughter? He doesn't deserve a single cent of yours"
"I'm a good man, Mother. I'll pay him one million as an addition" He was clearly making fun of William whose fist has now turned white from the clenching motion.
He was on the verge of bursting out."I don't need your damn money, stay away from my wife!"
Tracey broke out of his grip and William eyes lit up, thinking she had come to her senses but was shocked by her next action.
Her palm was imprinted on his face as she slapped him across the face."I am not your wife, you trash! Get out! Now! Get out, William! Tomorrow we're getting divorced"This was the last straw that broke William back.
She had never raised her hand at him before, talk less of hitting him in the face.Did she hate him this much and was determined to get rid of him?"Charlie," Elizabeth beckoned at the butler who was standing by the side and commanded, "Drag the trash out of our house. Make sure he doesn't stain you"
William was clearly enraged but he had been a man who never allowed emotion to take the best part of him.
He would rather walk away than cause an unfathomable destruction.Just the same way he walked away from his real-life five years ago and came to this City.

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

"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.

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.

With a soft smile, Mr. Anderson came to William's rescue by saying, "That isn't necessary, Ms. Sinclair, Mr. Miller and I are--" "Grey's friend. I met him at Grey's," William interrupted quickly and raised his head to Mr. Anderson, who paused for a second in surprise.Did Mr. Miller no longer want to associate with him as a friend?

"Mr. Anderson, what are you doing here? I mean it's an honor to have you in my underground casino" To his surprise, Mr. Anderson directly ignored him like he was nonexistent and fixed his eyes on the triplets, who were still out to draw blood.Their countenance was vexed, and they looked like they wanted to feast on William, who stood unfazed."Mr. Miller Is with me, you won't cause trouble for him, will you?"

The four men were stunned to their toes and could only stare at William Miller who remained standing with his hands behind him. How could this be possible? The two brothers help their third to his feet and gave him a questioning look. "I slipped, Brothers" He almost stammered. How could he tell them that he had been frightened by the sudden appearance of an image in front of him? One that his eyes barely kept up with. This made the other two nod their head and puff their chest forward even more arrogantly. Their eyes must have deceived them just now.How can an ordinary person like the man in front of them be a match for their third brother?"You! Are you really William Miller?" The scarred-face man asked, clenching his fist."Depends on who is asking"He gritted his teeth, annoyed by William's response.How could he be this arrogant in his presence?As the King of a notorious gang here in New Spring, he is respected by many and they wouldn't even dare to look him dead in the e

Ethan's voice was that of a Madman as he approached the two men with visible traces of flames in his clenched fist.All it took for him to finish off those group of gangsters was a single kick.As long as he is here, no one would dare to be brazen."If you don't know, I am a full master practitioner and can cripple you before you even think about it, if you start kowtowing now, I'll be ruthless""Ethan, that's enough.

215: Arrival
Amelia and Ethan arrived at the location of the Underground casino and looked around clueless when a rough-looking man who stood away from them at the alley suddenly approached."You must be the Sinclair woman," The man said, displaying his dirty tooth as he tried to get to Amelia, but Ethan stepped between them."Where is she? Where is my sister?" Amelia yelled in rage, moving from behind Ethan. "You are really the Sinclair woman. The Boss has been waiting for you." After the dirty-toothed man finished speaking, he moved in the direction of a door at the alley, and they quickly followed him.He took them through the door and down a staircase to another door which was guarded by two hefty bouncers.When they entered the main underground gambling hall, they were welcomed by the loud, incoherent noise in the air and the stinging smell of cigarettes and alcohol.Amelia almost puked but she managed to keep walking with her head down.She occasionally looked sideways to see various rough-

Why don't you to that office and worry less about this?"These little underground rats really thought they were strong enough to contend against him.They were nothing but troublesome flies he could flick away.Ethan snorted coldly and puffed his chest to say, " Don't even think you can act capable here again. Didn't you say you could help Ms. Sinclair with the trouble you caused for her family, but this Quantumleap Company had helped the company?"How could he allow this ordinary-looking man to act boastfully in front of a goddess like Amelia?He must be trying to impress her.Natalie quickly stepped in to say, "If it wasn't for you, the Sinclair wouldn't be in this mess, and now you have put Ms. Sinclair in trouble because of your despicable means. Don't you have any heart" "You must have taken Ms. Sinclair's pity for you for granted. Don't even think you can act brave h
