Arriving at the hospital, they received news about Mr. Patterson's condition from the doctor who had just treated the middle-aged man.
"How's my husband doing now, Doc?" Mrs. Patterson asked, her eyes shining with worry as she looked at the doctor.
"I'm sorry, we couldn't save your husband..." the doctor said with regret. Like lightning striking, the entire family was shocked by the bad news. Mrs. Patterson screamed hysterically, her body feeling weak until she passed out. Arianna and Nikki immediately approached their mother lying on the floor. The worry and concern of Mr. Patterson's two daughters were so dominant.
Meanwhile, William is now heading back to the mansion to meet Bianca and inform her about his father's current condition.
"Bianca!" He ran quickly to meet his wife in the room, quickly climbing up the stairs. However, his steps stopped when William stood in front of the brown door handle with a silver handle belonging to him and his wife's room. He heard a sound that didn't sound right.
"Bianca..." Without thinking twice, he immediately opened the unlocked bedroom door.
"Oh my God..." William was surprised, his heart hurt when he saw his wife with his brother-in-law, Thomas. They were having s*x on the bed. Seeing William's arrival, they immediately stopped their s*xual activity, and Bianca quickly grabbed a blanket to cover her nak*d body. Meanwhile, Thomas looked busy putting on his clothes that were scattered on the floor before.
"What the hell is going on?!" William yelled, then approached Thomas who had just finished putting on his shirt. William immediately punched Thomas until his brother-in-law fell to the ground. His anger was so fierce, like a raging fire that burned fiercely. The man pulled his brother-in-law's shirt collar, "What did you do with my wife, you b*st*rd?!"
"Stop!" Bianca got up from the bed and stood between the two men. She quickly put on her satin nightgown, although William didn't know how quickly she put it on, the dress was already attached to her beautiful body.
"Enough, William. Don't hit him again." William couldn't understand his wife's and brother-in-law's actions. The man occasionally rubbed his forehead roughly, "Bianca? Don't you remember that this man is your brother-in-law?! You could have betrayed me, but not your own sister!"
"Thomas is my lover, William. We have been in a relationship since before Thomas got married! I love him so much!" He was made to shake his head by both of them. He couldn't understand Bianca and Thomas's madness. The woman appeared to defend Thomas by standing behind her lover, especially since Bianca openly announced that she loved Thomas in front of her own husband. Is she crazy?
"Stop this, Bianca! Are you crazy?! He's your brother's husband!" William yelled in anger, gritting his teeth to hold back his overflowing anger. Thomas, on the other hand, punched William in the face, his mouth corner hurt, and he fell to the ground. William immediately got up and gave a powerful kick to his despicable brother-in-law. Thomas fell to the ground, and William was about to kick back, but unfortunately, Bianca slapped him.
"Don't ever hurt him! Even though you're my husband, you're not the man I love, William. You're just trash in my family!" His wife screamed, Her wife yelled as she walked towards William. Her steps were so intimidating with her cynical stare.
"Crazy. You're crazy..." Suddenly, William's phone rang from his pocket, and the tense atmosphere disappeared. The man immediately grabbed his phone and saw a message from Arianna and several missed calls from his two sisters-in-law.
[Where are you, b*st*rd? Daddy has passed away, and mother is now unconscious. Come to the hospital now!]
William was shocked again by the bad news from his father-in-law. He took a long breath, trying to forget the recent events.
"Bianca, your father is in the hospital. Your brother told me that he has passed away now, and your mother even fainted."
"What?" The blonde-hair woman was shocked, and hearing it made her feel weak. She almost fell, but William held her. Bianca then asked William to take her to the hospital immediately.
***
Grief enveloped the Patterson family, and Bianca cried in front of her father's body. Meanwhile, Mrs. Patterson still sat on the couch, the middle-aged woman unable to accept the fact that her beloved husband had passed away. Although they often argued about their different thoughts, Mrs. Patterson had not yet come to terms with her husband's departure.
William stood behind Bianca now, his gaze fixed on Thomas, who was now hugging Arianna, trying to comfort his grieving wife.
"What kind of drama is this?" He whispered softly with a cynical stare toward Thomas. The shadow of Bianca's affair with Thomas still lingered strongly in his mind, even though his marriage to Bianca was not out of love for each other, William felt disappointed and hurt by this betrayal.
The man then forcibly pulled Thomas out, "We need to talk!" William said firmly and took him to the lavatory.
"What the hell, man?" Thomas grunted in pain as William pressed his body hard against the wall. He kept pressing, ignoring the b*st*rd's pleas. Unfortunately for him, Thomas gave a strong kick to his stomach, causing William to stumble.
Damn it! As he was about to get up, Thomas pressed his brother-in-law's chest with his $1,800 loafers.
Not going to let himself be mistreated, William grabbed his leg and slammed Thomas to the floor quite hard.
"This time I won't stand by, Thomas. B*st*rds like you should just die!" William tugged at the back of Thomas's suit collar, the man smiled wryly before throwing a hard fist at his brother-in-law's face.
"Feel this, Thomas!" The hard punch shot right across the bridge of his nose, the man immediately had a nosebleed due to William's hard smack. The man smiled widely seeing Thomas grunting in pain.
“William!”Arianna screamed when she saw William about to throw another hard smack at Thomas. She walked straight up to the two.
"You b*st*rd!"
The sister-in-law gave William a hard slap, and the woman was furious to see her husband treated so badly by a coward in her own family."Sis, I have to tell you. Thomas and Bianca are lovers. They're both affair on back you!" William confessed all the truth he saw earlier. The woman furrowed her eyebrows, while Thomas walked up to his wife and said, "That's not true, Arianna! He's lying, William accused me!"Instead of believing him, Arianna slapped her brother-in-law back, "Don't ever accuse my husband! He's a good man, not a coward like you!" Her sister-in-law scoffed and insulted her with harsh words, but it didn't make William upset. Hasn't insults and verbal abuse from the Patterson family been his daily bread? He was immune to it all. It's just that he looked disappointed when his sister-in-law didn't believe him."What's going on here?" Nikki walked up to them after secretly following Arianna. Although her attitude was so arrogant, Nikki tried to break up their three-way fight
“Please tell me why you hurt your own father-in-law," a police officer interrogated William for a statement. Apparently, Thomas set him up. His brother-in-law accused and provided evidence that led to William in various ways. He was a real b*stard, William would never forget it!"I didn't even do anything!" William denied the police statement that he had hurt his own father-in-law. He didn't even know the man who claimed to be William's henchman to sabotage Mr. Patterson's car brakes. However, he did meet the stranger at the office during his inauguration as CEO of his family's parent company, and they talked privately. But their talk was only about work.Meanwhile, the police in front of him continued to corner him with questions, making William angry enough to bang the table hard. He went wild and made a fuss, and some police officers came and took him back to the holding cell.His steps halted when Thomas stood in front of him, with a smug smile and mocking him. "A loser like you i
"But, Sir...""No more time, Matthew! He's my son, he must be the heir in my family, Matthew." Hendry said with a sad look.A gunshot was heard from outside, startling those in the room. Hendry started to panic, holding his newborn baby in his arms, kissing both of his little angel's cheeks for a moment."Forgive me, son. I have to do this..." With a heavy heart, Hendry handed his child over to Matthew, asking his trusted man to take his son far away. As a father, he didn't want anything bad to happen to his precious child.Matthew complied with his master's orders, immediately leaving through the back door to escape with him. He felt sorry for his master's baby."You have a tough fate, young master." After successfully leaving Hendry's residence, Matthew paused for a moment and looked pitifully at the baby boy in his arms. So pitiful, but his master's decision was indeed right. The heir of his family must remain alive and safe. Matthew went to a village called Moonee Valley.Over the
Before he passed away, the man wrote a letter that is now in Matthew's possession, who was also present in court to testify.Upon hearing of the man's death, Thomas became angry and exclaimed, "Damn!" He tried to leave the courtroom, but his lawyer held him back. Nevertheless, Thomas had to attend the trial as he was the one who implicated William in the death of his father-in-law.Matthew looked at Thomas cynically, holding the letter tightly in his hand. He realized that the contents of the letter could change William's fate in this trial."I won't let Mr. William rot in prison for this accusation," he said. He would fight to free William from this charge as a redemption for his past sins.The judge began questioning William about the events surrounding his father-in-law's death. William honestly stated that he did not commit any heinous act against Mr. Patterson that resulted in his death.After a while, Matthew stood up and was allowed to testify. He gave an account of the content
One of his colleagues corroborated it, telling him that the company was on the verge of bankruptcy. William had an idea, he instructed his subordinate to go to the Patterson family's holding company and buy their stocks. He was so interested in buying stocks there because, at that time, Thomas became the CEO of the company."We will acquire the Patterson’s holding company." However, one of his colleagues disagreed with William's plan."Are you really going to buy stocks there? If we buy their stocks, it will be a waste of time." The Patterson family's subsidiary was known to be infamous among the public, with many high-ranking officials in the company engaging in corruption or bribing their subordinates to keep quiet from the media. Moreover, the company had been deteriorating even more since the passing of Mr. Patterson."Don't worry, Sandy. Leave this to me. I have thought this through." William's decision was unquestionable; he immediately ordered his subordinate to go to Patterson
"You deserve to be treated like this, you bastard, stupid!" Thomas was outraged at being humiliated in front of all the employees, he stood up holding his stomach in pain. He wanted to retaliate against William, but he was held back by the man with him."Remember, Thomas, I was kind enough to buy stocks in your company so you wouldn't go bankrupt. You understand?" Thomas just stared at William angrily, while William fixed his slightly disheveled black suit. Unable to deny it, Thomas had to suppress his anger today.William then started to implement his plan, he carried out a massive layoff of poorly performing employees there, then opened job vacancies with very strict selection criteria. He bought some of the shares of the Patterson family's company not only as revenge but also to repay his father-in-law's kindness. William wouldn't let the large company in Melbourne go bankrupt because of that asshole Thomas's incompetence in managing it."Sandy? I need you to handle everything here
You bastard! You're motherfucker!" Thomas stormed into William's office and entered William's workspace. The man looked angry and slammed the desk. Meanwhile, William looked relaxed in response, he even smirked. "This is just the beginning, Thomas. I've only just started my game." Thomas was infuriated, as William had sent a video and photos of him being intimate with Bianca in the office yesterday afternoon. Before meeting with Thomas, he had instructed someone to install a hidden camera in his workspace. Actually, he just wanted to see what that bastard was up to. However, no one expected Bianca to come and the two of them did something inappropriate in the workspace. With a racing breath, Thomas punched William in the face, hitting the corner of his lips, "You're a savage, William!" He shouted while the 32-year-old man looked at Thomas. Then, he gave a strong kick in the stomach, causing Thomas to fall down. "Remember, Thomas. I'm not the William you used to underestimate." Wil
"Sandy, why did ya come here?" William was surprised to see Sandy at his house, he had just gone for a swim to freshen up his body this morning. His friend just smiled, not without reason, she came to see William because she wanted to ask something."Yesterday I saw the video footage you requested from your subordinate. Wasn't the woman who was with Thomas a bitchy ex-wife of yours?"William stepped out of the pool area, wearing a towel to cover part of his body. He nodded quietly, and William confirmed what happened. Hearing it made Sandy extremely shocked. Damn, the Patterson family was really crazy in treating William."Why aren't you angry? You're such a fool!" William just laughed at Sandy's reaction after finding out about Thomas's affair with his ex-wife. He told her that his marriage to Bianca was only out of obligation, Bianca didn't love him. Feeling sick, William asked his friend to stop talking about it again. Besides, there was no time to talk about such trash, today he h
