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. "We're in mourning right now! At least you feel the loss of Dad and forget your problems for a moment!" What Nikki said was true, and they soon returned to Mr. Patterson's ward.
***
The funeral ceremony was attended by colleagues, all staff, and other relatives as a final tribute to Mr. Patterson. His sudden departure shocked the entire population of Melbourne, as the 69-year-old man had never suffered from a serious illness and still appeared healthy in his old age. Unfortunately, Mr. Patterson had to pass away due to an accident that happened to him. Currently, the personal driver who was driving the car during the accident is at the police station to be questioned.
The Patterson family is deeply sorrow, especially Mrs. Patterson. She has cried and fainted numerous times over the loss of her husband. The middle-aged woman is devastated, as her husband did not even say goodbye to her.
"Where is Thomas? Why isn't he here?" Her eyes are fixed on the mourners at present, realizing that the b*st*rd is not with the family. He should be present, considering he is a part of the Patterson family.
"Aw, forget it. Why should I bother with that crazy lunatic."
The funeral went smoothly, although it left a deep sorrow for the family left behind. After the funeral ended, all the mourners left the Patterson family residence. The once bustling mansion was now so quiet, with only the sound of weeping left, especially from Mrs. Patterson and her three daughters. Shortly after, Thomas arrived with several men. However, one of the men caught William's attention. He was badly beaten and had his hands tied, while two other men seemed to be forcing him. His brother-in-law walked up to William with his arrogant demeanor, 'I've come to bring a surprise for you, William.' The man grinned widely, seemingly planning something for William. But what was it?
“What do you mean?” William asked, grabbing Thomas' collar and looking at him cynically.
“Let's just go inside first. You'll find out soon enough.” His brother-in-law raised his eyebrows, then brushed off William's tight grip on his collar." Meanwhile, William let 'em walk into the house first, while he walked behind his brother-in-law and the guy he brought with him, watching them from a distance. He felt like Thomas was scheming something at the moment.
"Hey, Mom? Hey, Babe?" Thomas greeted his mother-in-law and Arianna, who were sitting next to each other. Mrs. Patterson couldn't stop cryin', while her eldest daughter kept calm in' her down. Meanwhile, Nikki and Bianca were sittin' elsewhere, and Thomas' arrival didn't seem to bother them.
Arianna frowned as Thomas appeared just after her father-in-law's funeral. That man had disappeared somewhere earlier. Arianna walked up to her husband. "Where've you been?" Her stare was icy. Meanwhile, William was watchin' them from the entrance.
Thomas then apologized to his wife and said, "I came here to tell y'all. If Daddy’s death wasn't just an accident, it was murder." Mrs. Patterson felt tight in her chest when she heard that. The middle-aged woman walked up to her son-in-law. "What do you mean?" She was so curious. Mrs. Patterson still didn't fully understand what Thomas was sayin'.
With a glance towards the man he had brought in with his hands tied, Thomas hit his head and said, "Quick, tell the truth!"
The man, who looked disheveled with wounds in several parts of his body, then knelt before Arianna and Mrs. Patterson, causing the two women to exchange glances and squint their eyes. "What is this?" Arianna didn't understand her husband's purpose.
"I'm sorry, Madam. I'm the one who killed Mr. Patterson on the commands of Mr. William." The man immediately revealed that the accident that happened to Mr. Patterson was due to the car's faulty brakes. He admitted that he had damaged the car's brakes, causing the accident, and he confessed to doing so at William's command. Hearing this, William was stunned by his admission. The man walked clumsily towards them, "What do you mean?!" He didn't even recognize the man brought in by Thomas to confess his guilt.
Mrs. Patterson stormed towards William and gave her son-in-law a hard slap, "You're already trash in this family, and now you're a killer too? You jerk!" Glaring fiercely, the middle-aged woman beat her son-in-law.
"Wait, Mom. I didn't do this! I'm being slandered!" William was evasive, but his mother-in-law didn't care and pushed him down. Thomas immediately ordered his men to beat William up. Two men grabbed both of William's hands, one of them immediately delivered hard punches and powerful kicks, occasionally hitting his solar plexus which made him groan in pain. His fate was so unfortunate, from a distance he looked at Bianca who seemed not to care about him. The blonde-haired woman just stared flatly as William was beaten by Thomas' men.
"Why did God give me such a bad life?"
After seeing William battered, his suffering did not end there. Thomas immediately took her to the police station.
“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
William was staring, the girl in front of him was not friendly at all. However, he just wanted to ask a question. Showing no fear of her threat, William stood up straight and said, "I just want to ask. I'm not asking for a fight, you understand!" He stared sharply at the girl in front of him. The long-haired girl took off her AirPods and said with a curt tone, "I have to go if you want to ask. Hurry up and say it." Not wanting to complicate things, William immediately asked, "Do you know a resident named Roemy?" The girl remained silent, her sharp gaze fixed on the man in front of her. She sighed heavily. "He lives in room number two hundred and twenty-three!" she said curtly, then pushed William until he fell down. Feeling innocent, she quickly left. "Damn, kid!" William cursed, shaking his head at the attitude of today's youth. They're so rude to their elders. He got up and walked to visit someone, who was none other than Roemy. His arrival was not without reason; he wanted to s
"Bianca? Are you willing to help me? I need you right now." The 32-year-old man pondered something, and he needed Bianca to execute his plan.Bianca furrowed her brow, not yet understanding her ex-husband's words."What do you want me to do?"William whispered to Bianca, discussing something with her.After hearing William's plan, the woman was slightly surprised and hesitant. It involved her past. Initially, Bianca wanted to refuse her ex-husband's request. However, she thought about her past mistakes again. Regardless, she had to make amends.***That night, Bianca looked stunning in a black dress that accentuated her beautiful figure. Her face wasn't pale anymore after being carefully made up. She walked towards William, who was waiting for her outside her residence."William? How do I look?" Bianca asked about her appearance tonight. The 32-year-old man fell silent for a moment as he gazed at his ex-wife. It seemed like he was slightly captivated by Bianca, as if he was drifting i
"Bianca?" The 32-year-old man was taken aback when he saw the woman who bumped into him was his ex-wife. He took a step back slowly as they came face to face again. William wiped his tears and asked, "What are you doing here?"Meanwhile, Bianca appeared with a faint smile. Her face looked pale and uninspired at that moment."I have a doctor's appointment today. That's why I'm here," the woman coughed and covered her mouth with a tissue."Bianca? What's wrong with you?" His face turned anxious after seeing a spurt of blood coming out of her mouth when she coughed. William immediately approached his ex-wife.Bianca shook her head, "I'm fine, William." Even her voice sounded weak. It seemed like Bianca was hiding something at the moment.William then guided his ex-wife to sit for a moment, taking a deep breath. He tried to forget the painful past caused by Bianca's behaviours.Bianca looked down for a moment, then sadly gazed at her ex-husband and embraced him tightly."I'm sorry, Willia
William was desperate, there was nothing he could do to save his foster child's life. He had even sacrificed his own dignity by approaching Thomas to ask him to donate his bone marrow. But his efforts were in vain."James, just open your eyes for a little while."William hung his head in despair, deeply regretting not knowing that James was suffering from such a serious illness. The 32-year-old man wiped away his tears and walked away from James in his hospital ward. He was going to talk to the doctor about something.As he walked, he accidentally bumped into a woman with long hair."Sorry. Didn't mean to." The multitude of problems was making his mind race. He only apologized and then walked away."William?"
"I ain't gonna let you go just like that!" William twisted Thomas's hand harder, the bastard screamed in pain."Willing to donate or just die?!" The 32-year-old man asked with emphasis."Let me go!" Unable to bear the pain, Thomas struggled and managed to break free from his brother-in-law's grip. The bastard walked over to grab the pistol that was lying on the floor earlier, and shot it right at William.A bullet immediately lodged in his arm, rendering William powerless. Blood began to flow from his wound, and he began to hold his arm tightly to prevent the bleeding."Stupid, who told you to come here?" Meanwhile, the bastard looked pleased to see his helpless enemy.Damn it! The bastard had wounded him, and he couldn't move freely anymore."You son of a bitch, Thomas!" William yelled, as his enemy was about to fire a bullet at him. He quickly moved to block the gun in the bastard's hand by kicking it hard until the pistol fell again.Weak William tried to take back his own gun befo
William's insistent on meeting Thomas right now, he walked back carefully so as not to be noticed by anyone. However, Matthew didn't follow him. The middle-aged man just approached and said, "There are so many guards and other Death Hole members here, sir. I suggest I go out to divert their attention. How about that?""But, isn't it dangerous for you later?" William hesitated with his trusted companion's plan."Trust me. I'll be careful." The middle-aged man tried to convince his master. William was silent as they hid behind a wall while the guards walked back and forth near them. But in the end, William agreed with Matthew's plan.The middle-aged man immediately walked out and away from his master, carrying a jug from a shelf."Who's there?!"Not long after, the sound of a broken object was heard from outside. A sound that surprised the guards and other Death Hole members, they immediately ran out to check the situation."Good, this is my time to meet Thomas." Seeing that there were
James went into a critical after being shot in several parts of his body. Not letting that scumbag oppress him, William came with Matthew to Thomas' residence by sneaking in through the back door."Sir? Are you sure about this?" Matthew asked, looking unsure about his boss's plan. William nodded slowly, confidently, the 32-year-old man walked through every room of Thomas' large residence.Then, they hid behind the wall as other members of the Death Hole passed by."We should just go home, Sir. There are still many ways to save the young master," the middle-aged man urged his boss to go back."No! Even if it was Thomas who did it, I will still meet him!"
Haven't had a chance to answer his question, James had already passed out. He was immediately rushed to the hospital for medical treatment for his injuries."You have to hang in there, James!" With panic in his voice, William hoped for James' safety. After all, he loved his adopted son very much. Meanwhile, Hendry was somewhat skeptical of what James did for William's safety. The old man looked at the unfortunate teenager lying in a coma with a sad expression and said in his deep voice, "There, there, William. You don't have to be sad about this. He did what he had to do. Remember, he owes you his life!"For the old man, it was only right that James sacrificed himself for his father figure.William, who was crying, wiped away his tears and became angry at his enemy's actions."This is outrageous. You won't get away with this. I swear I'll come back to haunt you, Thomas!" For God's sake, the 32-year-old man had sworn to become a terrifying menace to Thomas in the future. He wouldn't let
Some bullets suddenly hit his body again. Now, those little things had lodged in several parts of the poor teenager's body. Thomas shot his own son more than once, he's truly ruthless! He fell to the ground, covered in blood. William, who was panicked, rushed to his side. "James, open your eyes!" The 32-year-old man tried to wake James up from unconsciousness. Meanwhile, after shooting his own son, Thomas fled with his capos, and some of their members were already caught by the police. They surrendered to protect their boss. Thomas, on the other hand, managed to escape the police chase who wanted to capture him. "James! Wake up, son!" His effort to wake up his son was in vain. "Dad?" With a soft voice, James called out. He was lying helpless, with blood pouring out from the gunshot wounds on his chest. His dull eyes looked at his father, and he smiled even though he was in pain. "Why did you do this, James?" William cried as he saw his injured son. He deeply regretted what had ha
After waitin' fer a long time, James finally came back home with a panicked look on his face. He walked up to the three of 'em in the dinin' room."What's up, James? Why were ya runnin'?" William walked up to him and asked. He immediately guided his son to sit next to him. James grabbed a glass of mineral water and gulped it down quickly. Then, he shook his head slowly, lookin' around the mansion he lived in."Dad? Did someone bother ya?" James asked right away, confusin' William. The 32-year-old man squinted his eyes, "What do ya mean, James?"Once again, the teenager regulated his breath first."Answer my question, Dad!" He yelled, makin' the old man who was previously enjoyin' his piece of wagyu steak angry. Hearin' it, Hendry stood up from his seat and said, "Watch your attitude! You rude kid!" He didn't wanna lose to James, Hendry shouted while bangin' the dining table until the objects on it shook.James fell silent, but William stopped him right away. "Enough, Dad! Don't say tha
