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
