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 shock.
Mr. Grey didn't care about his expensive suit and had laid on the floor like a child.William had become the center of attraction in the bank.Seeing the peering eyes from all directions, he felt embarrassed and couldn't help but help Grey Almond to his feet.
"Old friend, don't do this to me. I'm embarrassed" William's tone was calm and he could see the tears forming in Grey's eyes.This man could indeed be emotional."Young Master, I've searched the entire world for you. Where have you been?"
Only if Grey knew he had been right here in this City.The best place to hide was the last place one would expect you to be.Instead of replying, William rolled his eyes to see the watching crowd and Grey got the message.He turned to the armed men and commanded them, " Quickly, send everyone away, the young master doesn't want them here"
At once, the men in black turned around and proceeded in the direction of the crowd who wondered what was happening.The three women quickly rushed forward and one of them spoke up immediately, "Mr. Grey, perhaps you're mistaken. This man must be an imposter and not the person you think he is"
Her friends supported her.
"Yes, don't be deceived. He is definitely a con or something. We all know this man""Mr. Grey, he is a bad person and he drives an old garbage truck. This man is a trash picker!"
This was Grey Almond, a very powerful man whom no one would dare to offend in this city.Why was he being respectful to a poorly dressed young man?He must have mistaken him for someone else.A cold light flashed across Grey Almond's face as he barked madly, "Even I dare not insult the young master. Who are you?"
"Me?..." A bright smile appeared on the woman's face as she only paid attention to his last words.
"I'm the wife of Robert Davis. We own a--"Bam!
The woman didn't finish speaking as she was thrown to the side by a powerful slap from Grey who had a menacing look. "No one in this city will dare say such nonsense, whoever your family is"The eyeballs of the other two women almost dropped in shock as they shrunk backward.
Their families were ofcourse influential in New Spring and own successful businesses but Grey Almond was no pushover. He had connections with tycoons who visited the bank branch occasionally and also the top power players in the city. This was no man that could be messed with. One call from him can ruin their family."You must be with her.." Grey's cold eyes flashed in their direction and their legs started to shake for fear.
"No... No.. No.." They stammered incoherently, "We don't know her"
The two women quickly turned around and joined the staff who had been led out by the SWAT team.The woman on the ground was shocked by the betrayal of her friend and hot tears burnt the inner walls of her eyes.
They really denied and left her. "Scram before I break your legs!" Grey had returned his gaze to her like a tiger who had seen a prey.She covered her swollen face and started to run.
Everyone was forcefully sent out of the banking hall including the staffs who were curious about the scene.
Seeing all of this, Rose carefully took her handbag from under the desk and made to run away.
Could this mysterious person be under the disguise of a poor man?He was powerful enough to make her boss drop to the ground and now she had offended him.This person was capable of killing her and leaving no traces behind."Who asked you to leave?" The husked voice of William sent her heart pounding and her legs trembled.
She thought he was some ordinary country bumpkin who had come to cause trouble in the bank.Slowly, she turned to see the big smile on William's face.
It was now she realized how handsome the man in front of her was.He was now different in her sight and she couldn't stare him directly in the eyes."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
William didn't need to diagnose Amelia anymore as he squatted in front of her and watched her peaceful but pale face.Only her lips were gently shaking and the breath from her nose was now low.He took one of the silver acupuncture needles and pierced it accurately through her cloth into an acupoint by the side of her stomach.Instantly, the spreading of the poison stopped and Amelia's lips stopped shaking in pain.She felt a temporal relief and was able to open her to see William fiddling with four silver needles.Amelia was shocked but she managed to say, "You came""You trusted me" He replied and used his fingers to shut her eyes."Stop talking and stay calm"William took another silver needle and made to jab it through her clothing when Ava raised an alarm."What do you think you're doing?"William was now at the edge of losing his patience as he turned to her and said, "I don't like distractions when treating patients"She gritted her teeth angrily."You're such an idiot, are yo
Doctor Maxwell was taken aback and he made to scold William when one of the doctors whispered, "Her face. It's clean now"They ignored William and moved together to Amelia's bed.Ava's face was full of tears as she watched her sister sleeping soundly while holding her hand in hers.Her breathing was stable and her face was bright as the sun.She was completely healed now.The Doctors took turns checking Amelia for any sign of poison and they were shocked to realize that she was fine."If you touch my sister again, I'll break your fingers" Ava snapped at them and they quickly retreated from Amelia.Doctor Maxwell looked at William and he couldn't lift his head anymore.He was embarrassed.Who was this man exactly?How exactly did he manage to extract an unknown poison from the vital organs of the young lady?In all of his years of experience, it would take a while to successfully drain poison out of a patient and sometimes, the contaminated blood had to drain too.But this man extracte
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
