Vengeance From Despised Son-In-Law

Getting to Perth

"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 had to be ready to leave. As he was about to leave, Sandy stopped him.

"You fool William. Didn't you hear that Thomas borrowed a large amount of money from Bianca? Why don't you scam him?"

"Do you have the same plan as me?" Sandy laughed, she could guess what her friend's plan was. But unfortunately, the plan was entirely up to her and most likely wouldn't help him because the 32-year-old man also had other plans.

Ah, dunno why, even though they ain't known each other long, Sandy's really close with William. She's the COO over at Frank Development Property and used to be the CEO sent by Hendry to manage the real estate company. But after William showed up as the sole heir to the Frank family, he took over the position from Hendry's only son.

William seems rushed, he's got his suitcase ready too. The 32-year-old dude approaches Matthew in his office.

"Mr. Matt, today you can just head to the office alone. I got personal business to take care of." William informs Matthew that he won't be coming to the office today and for the next few days, he's heading to a place alone. The middle-aged man understands, he nods and pays his respect to William. Feeling awkward with Matthew's gesture, the handsome man with brown eyes says, "You don't have to be respectful like that, sir. I should be the one respecting you." William feels unworthy if an older man is being respectful toward him. Although Matthew doesn't mind, he still feels uncomfortable.

"I'd be happy if you consider me as your son." Matthew stares sadly at his boss's son, he feels touched by William's words. He doesn't even have any children, his wife has passed away and he decided to stay a widower until now.

"Alright, Sir." The middle-aged man smiles, almost shedding a tear. But not long after, William says his goodbye and leaves in a hurry. He brings his suitcase and other necessities, and he's heading to Perth for a few days to meet someone. He'll be taken by Frank family's private driver to Tullamarine Airport, the second busiest airport in Australia.

The trip to Perth's gonna take a while, so he's decided to hop on a plane. He booked a first-class ticket last night. It may seem sudden, but he's got everything sorted out.

"A little faster, please, Sir," William asks his driver to speed up, he's worried about missing his flight since it's already 09:30 AM and his flight's scheduled at 10:00 AM.

"Damn it! I almost missed it." He rushes out of the car after checking his branded watch. His driver helps William carry his suitcase and some other belongings. Without resting, William has to board the plane after showing his booking code to customer service. Choosing a luxurious and elegant class makes him feel so relaxed while waiting for the plane to take off.

Not long after, the plane that William is on starts to take off. Actually, the 32-year-old man feels restless today, as the weather doesn't look good. There are many clouds that could cause turbulence.

"I hope nothing happens." He anxiously hopes, but a few minutes after takeoff, the plane experiences turbulence. The strong jolts make him panic. "What's going on?" One of the flight attendants approaches him, telling him to stay calm.

"What I was afraid of actually happened." He fastens his seatbelt as directed, but the strong turbulence causes his head to hit the body of the plane hard.

After enduring some minutes of turbulence, the plane finally returned to normal after passing through the clouds that obstructed William's journey to Perth.

"Damn it!" William grumbled in frustration, the hard impact causing his head to feel sore and bruised.

Despite the initial hiccup, William's journey went smoothly and the plane arrived at Perth Airport around 2:22 PM. He disembarked and was picked up by someone he had hired as his guard while in Perth. After collecting his belongings, he immediately headed to an old apartment building in the city of Perth.

"Here's the apartment, sir. You can enter and meet the person you're looking for." The 45-year-old man who was William's guard had brought him to the old apartment building. Meanwhile, William's stare was fixed on the old building in the middle of Perth. He was quite puzzled as to how such an old and neglected building could be located in the middle of the city without any renovations.

“Thanks for your help, Sir,” William said as he walked into the apartment alone. Inside, he met an old man who was likely a resident of the apartment.

"Can I ask you a question, Sir?" The old man looked at William with a sad stare, his hair full of gray, leaning on a cane for support.

"Do you know Roemy? He's also a resident of this apartment." When William asked, the old man just remained silent, staring at him. This made it difficult for William to get information. However, not long after, a young girl with a messy appearance just came out of the apartment. Seeing the girl about to leave, the 32-year-old man stopped her.

"Do you want to die? Get out of my way or I'll kill you."
