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 screamed privilege and wealth. The marble floor did not only reflect his figure but the silver chandelier that dangled above his head.The Bank attendants discreetly conversed with the richly dressed customers over the desk, their demeanor exuding a sense of professionalism.
There were only a few people inside the bank because Exclusive Avenue Bank wasn't open to all.
One would need at least ten million dollars to open an account with the bank and the same to get an exclusive card.
William walked casually to the free Bank attendant by the left and stood in front of her.
"Hello, how may I be of assistance?" Her smile was a bright one but behind was a sneer of disdain.Rose's eyes scanned the shabbily dressed man from head to toe and wondered what he wanted here.
This place wasn't an open bank to insignificant people in society.William scratched the back of his head as he lost concentration for a moment because of the beautiful woman in front of him.
Her chest was barely covered by the shirt she was wearing and would make a man lose focus at first glance."I'm William Miller" He introduced himself and continued to say, "I'm here to check the balance on my card?"
Rose's eyes dimmed and she tightened her fist underneath the desk.
"Did you miss your way here?" This time, she did not hide the disdain in her voice.William was confused for a second and stammered, "What are you talking about?"
"You think you can walk into any bank and ask to have your balance checked?" She yelled at him and then pointed to the exit, "Leave immediately before I call security on you"
William was taken aback and wondered what was wrong with this attendant.
"Isn't this unprofessional? Can't I ask to see my balance" His tone was rather calm and there was no hint of anger in his eyes."Unprofessional?" She scoffed and added, "Only those with an Exclusive Avenue bank account can make such requests. Moreover, there are ATMs around to check your balance"
William rubbed the roof of his nose and said, "I have an account here and I request to see my balance"
Rose once again stared him down and thought, 'This poor man thinks so rich of himself. How dare him come here to cause trouble?"'
Seeing how poorly dressed he was, she couldn't help but sneer in disgust."Isn't that the trash picker?" The customers who had seen William outside had entered only to encounter the conversation between him and the attendant.
"Looks like he's bothering our Dear Rose," A young woman said and they purposely got closer to add fuel to the flame.
"You heard the trillions he talked about? I'm sure he is here to withdraw them all" The third woman said and they couldn't contain their laughter anymore.
This drew the attention of the people around and the security guard who usually maintained orderliness in the bank. The women had no choice but to cover their mouths and retrain themselves.William was gradually getting pissed but he didn't want to cause a scene.
He slammed his supreme black card on the table and said authoritatively," I demand to see the branch manager right now"Now he understood, this woman was actually looking down on him.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
William alighted from his truck and found his way through the entrance of the antique store by the side of the street. The phone in his hand buzzed but seeing who the caller was, a slight frown formed on his face. His grandfather's secretary was calling him again and what else would she ask if not for him to sign the inheritance papers and return to the family? He was the sole heir of the Miller Conglomerate, a global powerhouse with control over significant resources and subsidiary companies across the world until an incident years ago. William ignored the call and slid the device into his pocket before continuing to work. Did they really think they could sweet-talk him into returning to his former position? If his ring hadn't been activated, they would have no reason to pressure him according to the rule but now they had one. Why is that old man even making an effort? Have they all forgotten the reason he left five years ago? His grandfather who was supposed to be the head
Under the threat of the store owner, William was unfazed as he simply turned around and began to head for the exit.Anna's pupils shrunk in shock and she quickly ran to block his way."You! How dare you be arrogant? I'm your sister-in-law"She was surprised at William's audacity.Her sister's husband always had his head down when she scolded him but now, he was staring fearlessly at her.Why is he acting like a different person now?"My sister-in-law? Are you sure about that?" William's brows were slightly raised.Anna gritted her teeth in anger and whispered, "Who do you even think you are? Help me right now and I'll consider talking to my sister not to divorce a loser like you"She was well informed about her sister's new intention to divorce Williams and the man she wanted to get married to.For five years, she always wanted to see the loser, William get kicked out of the Wilson family and it was finally here.Why then would she beg her sister not to divorce him?She expected Willi
William had just driven onto the busy road when the phone in his pocket buzzed and he took the device out to see the caller.It was his boss from work."William, you trash picker! Where in the name of heaven are you? Everyone is complaining because you've yet to attend to the set route"Hearing the raging voice of his boss, William couldn't help but sigh and apologize, "I'm sorry about today, Boss. Something happened--""I don't care about your personal issues, William. Get to work right now or I'll halve your salary for the month and fire you"The man hung the call on him.William let out a bitter smile and mumbled silently, "So daring of you, Ethan"His Boss was also another thorn who did nothing but nag at him and threatened to fire him often.Now, he was the billionaire he used to be.There was no use working anymore because he knew what was coming now that he unintentionally announced his ultimate return and needed to prepare himself. Anyway, "I'll do this one last time" Today
As soon as the ambulance arrived at the hospital, Amelia was wheeled into the emergency department by the medical practitioners while Ava approached the nurse on duty."You! Get me the best doctor in this hospital right now" Her tone was decisive and authoritative.The nurse on duty was shocked but she still managed to keep it professional and say, "All the Doctors have their hands tied right now but we can work on an appointment and--""You bitch! Don't make me rip your face, do you know who I am? My sister has been poisoned and I demand the best Doctor in this stupid hospital. We are from the Sinclair Family, if my sister dies here today, this place will be destroyed and we'll gouge your eyes out "The moment the nurse heard the name of the arrogant woman's family, her face turned pale in fright. She definitely had the right to be arrogant. "Forgive me, I'll get the best doctor right away" The nurse bowed apologetically and quickly hurried away. Ava left for the Emergency Depart
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
