The starry sky tonight made William feel a little better even though he just heard from his friend that he had been scammed by his co-workers.William then left his room and climbed down the stairs that lined with red carpet and had golden railings. He stopped on the last stair and focused his eyes on the sight of a family who appeared to be having a small dinner party.The Patterson family seemed happy as they celebrated Thomas Patterson's success. Thomas is the Patterson's first son-in-law, meanwhile William is the second."We must celebrate Thomas's victory tonight...""This accomplishment will belong to all of us. We will go on vacation to Hawaii..."Proudly, they gathered in the dining room, raising their glasses of wine to celebrate Thomas's achievement in a project deal worth one hundred million dollars.Meanwhile, William hesitated to approach them. He had just been scammed by an irresponsible person who promised William a project with a large amount of profit to be divided eq
"What reason made you come here, William?"William met his father-in-law in the office, the handsome man with a little beard under his chin was about to tell Mr. Patterson something."I want to divorce Bianca, Dad. It seems like I'm just causing trouble for you all." He hesitated to say it, but last night Bianca was very angry and decided to divorce him."Do you think I'm going to grant your request? I brought you here and married you to my daughter so you could take care of her! Why do you want to divorce your wife?!" The old man spoke in a high note, making William unable to do anything but be quiet."But, Dad. This divorce is Bianca's will, I can't continue this marriage. I'm afraid if this happens, I'll hurt her feelings." The 32-year-old man looked sad in front of his father-in-law."I've failed to be a good husband to her. I can't even make her happy. The business I built is always failing." In his heart, he even admitted that he was a loser.William considered himself a lucky l
"This has become my absolute decision! Nothing can change it except for me! Do you understand?"His decision cannot be challenged, William will take over the Patterson family's parent company and manage it.The 69-year-old man then took a sip of wine and said, "Y’all don't know how Thomas works, do you? You only know his victories without knowing how he works!"Even though Mr. Patterson knows Thomas's cunning ways, he still lets his son-in-law do something bad at the family's company. Thomas has several times embezzled funds from one of the Patterson family's subsidiary companies. That's why Mr. Patterson will not entrust the parent company to Thomas."Stop accusing Thomas of wrongdoing, Dad! I believe Thomas has never done anything bad! He's a good man! We've always known Thomas always brings good name to our family! Unlike your chosen son-in-law here!" The blonde-haired woman immediately pointed at William with a red face because of her anger spilling over."You don't know what happ
William and his father-in-law headed to the office together, and seeing how fond Mr. Patterson was of William made Thomas seethe with envy. Now, he knew what he had to do. Mr. Patterson's personal driver started to accelerate the car that he and his boss were driving. It was William's first day working at the company, and the first time in six years that he had a job that was much better than his previous one. His past life was very sad, living in poverty with both parents deceased. Furthermore, there was not a single penny of inheritance left by his poor parents. "William? Today, I'm going to meet with one of my colleagues. Are you interested in meeting him?" His father-in-law asked, breaking his morning reverie. "Of course.” William replied with a slow nod. Throughout the journey, Mr. Patterson gave him directions on how to become the CEO of the Patterson family's main company. He learned it very well and carefully. This time, he would try to prove that he was not a loser. ***
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
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
"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
