2024-04-10 02:53:29"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. Right now, it wasn't about losing her job. Whoever could make her Boss bow, was no person to be reckoned with.Grey's eyes turned dark instantly and he roared, "How dare you offend the young master? Have you made a pact with death?"
When she heard this, her face turned pale and she begged, "Forgive me, Young Master. I deserve death"
At first, she wasn't sure why the shabbily dressed man was being referred to as a young master. But now, she remembered something.Mr. Grey Almond had always talked about a young man who saved his life and paved a path for him to become great in life.He claimed the influence of that young master was unmatched and offending him was the same as embracing death.It can't be. Could this be the same young master Manager Grey has rambled about for years?
William sighed as he took his card from her and looked into the pitiful look on her face.
He never planned to cause a scene today but it has happened.All he wanted to see at first was the reaction of Rose when the armed men arrived.He wanted to see how long she could keep up with her arrogance.Grey turned his face to meet William and said, "Forgive me for not training my staff well, young master. I would punish her today for disrespecting you"
Rose's face turned extremely pale from hearing this and more tears flowed down her red cheeks.William waved his hand and mumbled lazily, "It's alright, Grey. She doesn't know what a black card looks like. Let her off the hook"
Rose's eyeballs almost dropped in shock.Was this handsome man sparing her right now?"Thank you, Young master. In the future, I'll do anything you ask of me " Rose clamped her hands together as she said to him.
'Even if you want me to be your woman' She didn't dare to say this out. If only she could associate herself with such a powerful man, her status would elevate and she would be no pushover too.William didn't care about her promise as he turned away and beckoned at Grey, "I have someplace to be today, Grey. Let's be done with this"
Grey hurried after him but not after saying to Rose, "Hurry and Prepare tea for the young master. "
"Right away" Rose did not dare to hesitate.
"Young master," Grey said as he caught up with William.
William halted sharply and turned to him, "Oh, can you stop being polite? I'm William, or have you forgotten my name"
Grey scratched the back of his head and replied, "No. I'm just happy to see you after all these years"
He could not hide the emotion on his face.William sighed, "Call me William in the future. I don't need unnecessary attention. I hope you understand"
The old man stammered, "But you're back, right?"
Why was William rejecting his title of honor?It felt strange to him until he heard his response, "I'm not. Treat me as a friend"William continued walking down the hallway.This left Grey confused.
"Wasn't there a global message yesterday about the return of the second-generation heir of the Miller family?"Grey was overjoyed when he saw the message and was already making arrangements to find his long-lost savior.Years ago, he had failed at a task while working for the Miller family as a butler.
The punishment for such a mistake was death but William had taken the blame instead and had him sent to this city.That wasn't enough as the good young master connected him with powerful people in the city and in no time he was at the top.

A heavy steel door creaked open, followed by the slow sound of wheels rolling across the floor.The dim bulb overhead the room flickered. Harry Snow wheeled himself inside, his expression void of emotion.At the center of the room sat Tracey Wilson, tied securely to a chair, her wrists and ankles bound tightly.Her once high-class clothes were crumpled, her hair tangled, and her face was marked with dried tears.The moment she saw Harry, muffled groans came from her throat as she chewed against the restraints over her mouth. Her body trembled. Harry watched her struggle. Then, without a word, he leaned forward and yanked the gag loose."Help! Help me! Something please, you have to help me! "Her scream echoed in the small room, filled with desperation.Harry didn’t even flinch. Instead, he calmly raised a gun, pointing the barrel straight at her forehead. His voice was low, almost as if he was bored."If you keep screaming like a mad dog, then I’ll put you down like one"Tracey

Are you so twisted that you’d hurt the women in our family just because we don't want to give you money?”Peter took a threatening step forward but was still scared of William, “You better hurry up and start talking before we make you talk!”The Wilsons all appeared to have their own versions of what had happened, none of them appear to even be considering that William himself was still piecing the truth together.But William.

264: The ex-son-in-law
William Miller stepped out of his car and faced the grand entrance of the Wilson residence. The towering gates, the stone pathway, and the excess decorations all remained the same, but everything about this place now felt distant, like a chapter he had closed. As he stood there, something unexpected stirred within him. Memories flooded back to the early days of his marriage when Tracey had treated him with at least some warmth. Anna, too, had once been kind, often sneaking him food when her mother and aunt deliberately starved him. But those days had vanished, replaced by ridicule, humiliation, and, ultimately, betrayal. Tracey had chosen another man over him; a man who obviously didn’t love her but merely sought to use her. Yet, she was too blinded by wealth to see it. William exhaled sharply, his gaze turning cold. Pushing open the doors, he walked in. The moment Elizabeth Wilson laid eyes on him, her expression twisted into one of disgust. Sitting on a luxurious couc

The warm glow of the chandeliers illuminated the entrance, and as she made her way inside, she was immediately greeted by the familiar voice of her sister . "You're finally back!" Anna rushed forward, excitement in her eyes. Without wasting a second, she grinned mischievously "Did you come to tell me about brother-in-law? Dad told me already"Amelia's steps faltered, and she shot her younger sister a glare, "Anna, how many times do I have to tell you? Stop calling him that""But why?" Anna crossed her arms stubbornly "Aren’t you going to marry him in the future?"Amelia opened her mouth to respond but found herself at a loss for words. Marry William? She had never really put thought into it. What started as a pretend relationship to keep her family off her back had somehow shi
262: A Desperate Call For Help
Harry Snow sat motionless in his wheelchair, his fingers trembling against his phone screen, scrolling through his contact list. He had to be wrong. There had to be a way out of this. Someone had to help him.His first call went to an old family connection, someone his father had worked with in the past. The line rang twice before a familiar voice answered."Harry? How are you—""I need your help," Harry cut in, his voice low but firm. "My family… they’re gone. Something happened, and I need—""Stop right there." The man's tone turned sharp. "Don't ever call me again. Do you have any idea what kind of force wiped out your family? If I even speak to you for too long, my own family could be next"Harry’s stomach twisted, "You—You can’t be serious. You—""Forget that I exist, Harry"The call ended.Harry gritted his teeth, anger pushing past his fear. He dialed another number, a man even more powerful, one who had shared drinks with his father at lavish parties.This time, the momen

She noticed his movement and leaned forward in excitement. "You're awake," Her voice was soft with a hint of relief, "What happened to you? I found you unconscious in my study. There was no one around to help me take you to the hospital, so I did what I could"Harry barely acknowledged her words. His mind was still sluggish, but one thought clawed its way through the fog of his mind, his family. Ignoring the dizziness that came with his sudden movement, he reached for his phone on the nightstand and quickly dialed his father’s number.No response.He redialed. The call rang and rang before switching to voicemail.Frowning, he tried his mother next.Same result. Then his unc

Meanwhile, Evelyn sat in her dimly lit room, her fingers nervously tapping against the edge of her laptop. With a deep breath, she pressed the button to connect to the video call. The screen flickered momentarily before the familiar, haggard face of Old Master Miller appeared. His eyes were clouded with anger. "Why haven't you returned home, Evelyn?" His voice was sharp, almost accusing, the calm demeanor he once held now gone, "You’ve ignored my orders, and now you're putting yourself at risk. I gave you clear instructions!"Evelyn’s heart sank, the weight of his anger pressing down on her. "Grandfather, I didn’t ignore you. I just... I had to make sure William was safe.

The Snow family members exchanged glances, their eyes filled with fear and defiance. None of them dared to meet William’s gaze, and the cold weight of their silence was deafening. It was clear they had already chosen their path. They would never reveal the location of Harry, no matter the cost.William's expression remained stoic, but he repeated the question, his voice firmer this time. “Where is Harry Snow?”For a long moment, there was no response. Not a word. Not a whisper.And then, one by one, the Snow family members bowed their heads in unison, lowering themselves to the floor. It was a gesture of submissionbut one filled with absolute resolve. They had chosen to die rather than betray their heir.“We would rather die than reveal his location,” one of the elders said quietly, his voice trembling with both fear and pride.William’s eyes narrowe
258: The Commander General
The tense atmosphere in the grand chamber of the Snow villa grew even heavier as Mark Snow, still reeling from the financial devastation William had just described, began to bark orders at the Border Generals. His eyes were wild with panic, his mind grasping for any thread of hope.“Kill him! Don’t just stand there!” Mark shouted, his voice sharp with desperation.The Border Generals, who had been silent until now, exchanged brief, unreadable glances. Their stoic expressions remained unmoved, yet there was an unmistakable hesitation in their demeanor. They were seasoned warriors, accustomed to life-or-death situations, but something in William’s calm, controlled presence had thrown them off balance.William stood at the center of the room, his hands resting behind him. His eyes, dark and unyielding, never left Mark Snow’s face.But before the situation could escalate any further, the door to the chamber flew open with a sudden, thunderous crash.All heads turned in unison as a tal
