The Richest Heir CHAPTER 117
Emily couldn't deny the deep sense of gratitude she felt towards William for everything he had done for her. But as she looked into his eyes, she couldn't help but wonder if her feelings went beyond mere gratitude. As William remained on one knee, the weight of the moment began to settle in. He had expected Emily to be swept off her feet by his romantic gesture, to say yes without hesitation. But instead, she simply stared at him, lost in thought, her expression unreadable.The crowd that had gathered around them murmured softly, their eyes darting between William and Emily, sensing the tension in the air. William felt a pang of discomfort, a twinge of awkwardness creeping into his demeanor as he realized that things were not going according to plan.Furthermore, his knee pulsated with agony, leaving him to ponder how much longer he would have to endure the discomfort until Emily gave her answer.Despite his best efforts to win her over with his grand gesture, Emily's silence left

"Emily, I genuinely care about you. Please don't let him come between us. Our relationship is between us, and he has no right to interfere."Caleb's eyes flashed with anger as he turned to face William. His jaw clenched tightly, and his fists balled up at his sides. Despite William's calm demeanor, Caleb could see through the facade, knowing the truth of his deceit.William's eyes bore into Caleb's with a mixture of frustration and concealed rage. He had come so close to achieving his goal, nearly winning Emily's affection and securing her as his own. But Caleb's sudden intrusion had shattered that opportunity, disrupting the carefully crafted facade he had maintained. Despite the urge to retaliate and exact revenge on Caleb for ruining his plans, William knew he had to maintain his composed demeanor in Emily's presence. He couldn't afford to reveal his true intentions and risk losing her trust. So, with a forced smile and a calm exterior, he suppressed his anger, biding his time f

Caleb lifted his chin defiantly, pointing a finger at William. "Oh, you'll be rude to me, will you?" he countered, his tone dripping with sarcasm.With a scoff, Caleb continued, his voice thick with disdain. "I'd like to see you try," he added, his eyes narrowing in contempt.Caleb fixed William with a look of undisguised disdain. Despite his restraint, he hadn't truly been rude to him yet, but the deceitful gleam in William's eyes and his lack of mercy only fueled Caleb's contempt. He could see through the facade that William was trying to maintain, and it only solidified his resolve to expose him for who he truly was.Originally, Caleb had entertained the idea of confronting William behind Emily's back. After all, she was innocent, blinded by her belief that William was her savior, showering her with rewards in her live broadcasting room. She had no inkling that he was a fraud, a thief who had cunningly stolen Caleb's account. Caleb couldn't bear the thought of her getting hurt, b

"Are you okay?"William forced a small smile for Emily's sake, trying to soften his features as he nodded in response to her concern. "It's nothing, I'm okay," he reassured her, his voice calm despite the turmoil raging within him. Internally, however, he seethed with outrage, his blood boiling with the urge to lash out at something or someone.William maintained his composure as he looked at Emily, offering her a small, reassuring smile. He understood the importance of upholding a gentlemanly demeanor in her presence, so he chose not to react further to the woman who had slapped him. Despite the seething anger boiling beneath the surface, he decided not to argue any further. If Emily hadn't been present, he might have been tempted to teach both Caleb and the woman a lesson they wouldn't soon forget.As Emily looked at his cheek with concern, William gently brushed his hand along her arm and offered her a reassuring smile. "I'm fine, Emily, really," he said softly. "It's just a

As Caleb stood on the sidewalk, his gaze fixed on the disappearing taxi, some of the crowd around him slowly dispersed, shooting him disapproving glances as they passed by. Oblivious to their stares, Caleb was lost in his thoughts, his mind consumed by a whirlwind of regret and frustration.He couldn't shake the feeling that if he hadn't sent Emily gifts through the broadcasting room, none of this would have happened. If he hadn't given her those rewards, then perhaps she wouldn't have been targeted by someone like William.The thought of a stranger stealing his account, using his name to woo Emily, and potentially cheat on her filled Caleb with a sense of anger and helplessness. He couldn't believe that his own actions had inadvertently led to such chaos in Emily's life.The misunderstanding between Caleb and Emily only seemed to be deepening. Emily remained convinced that the account belonged to William, that he was "King," the one who had sent those gifts in the broadcasting room

"Sir, if you hadn't made a reservation beforehand, you wouldn't be getting a table tonight at all. At least with the booking, you're guaranteed a table once one becomes available."William's anger flared, but he made a conscious effort to rein it in, aware of Emily watching him with a hint of shock at his outburst. He clenched his jaw tightly, forcing himself to maintain his composure despite the mounting frustration.The receptionist reiterated firmly, "Rules are rules, sir. Everyone, including those with reservations, must wait their turn. The rest is up to you." She maintained her professional demeanor, indicating that there would be no exceptions made for anyone, regardless of their status or circumstances.He hadn't anticipated such a rule at this prestigious restaurant. Before he could gather his thoughts, the surrounding diners began to grow impatient with his constant complaints."Come on, buddy, we're all waiting here," one person muttered impatiently, their annoyance eviden

"Fine, let's go," he mumbled with a sigh, Caleb turned to leave, his thoughts weighed down by the unsettling situation.As Caleb made his way towards the exit, a voice called out to him, breaking the rhythm of his departure."Mr. King?"He paused, turning to find a man impeccably dressed in a black suit and crisp white shirt. It was Mr. Holland, the manager of The Royal Palm Restaurant. Surprise flickered across Caleb's face."Mr. Holland," he greeted, his brow furrowing slightly in confusion, as to why he stopped him.Mr. Holland approached with a welcoming smile. "Mr. King, it's a pleasant surprise to see you again," he remarked. "Leaving so soon?"Caleb shrugged, a hint of wariness in his voice. "Well, my friend Miss Roberts and I had hoped to dine at your establishment tonight. Unfortunately, it seems there's no availability. And," he added, gesturing towards Miss Roberts beside him, "Miss Roberts was hungry, so we've decided to goto go elsewhere." Caleb's hands found their way

Mr. Holland studied William, a nagging suspicion crept into his mind. He couldn't recall ever seeing this man before, nor did his profile ring any bells. The absence of familiarity raised red flags, casting doubt on William's claims of membership.As William noticed the suspicious look Mr. Holland was giving him, panic surged within him. Desperate to salvage his facade, he swiftly pulled out his wallet and brandished the membership card he had borrowed from a friend, waving it around in the air."This is my membership card!" William declared, his voice tinged with urgency as he attempted to validate his false identity. In his haste, he failed to realize the folly of his actions.Mr. Holland's expression remained unreadable as he extended his hand towards William. "May I see the card, please?" he requested calmly, his tone betraying none of the turmoil swirling within him.With a nonchalant shrug, William handed over the card to Mr. Holland, a forced smile plastered on his face.
