“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 is suited to living here." William stared at him sharply, not even smiling.
William approached, pulling his brother-in-law's shirt collar, "You b*stard! You asshole!"
Furious, he gave a powerful kick to Thomas's stomach. His brother-in-law fell over immediately. William could no longer restrain his patience because Thomas had gone too far. Two police officers guarding him tried to hold William back. But it was all in vain. He was so angry at Thomas that he shouted like a madman. When Thomas was about to get up, William kicked his brother-in-law again, and he fell down again.
The two police officers immediately forced William into the holding cell to intervene between William and Thomas, but he went crazy and tried to rebel. Until a police chief came and gave a strong kick to the solar plexus, William groaned in pain.
"Follow the rules! Your come here is just trash!" The officer screamed angrily after giving William a painful kick. The two officers guarding him took him back to the holding cell. His suffering didn't end there; some inmates dominated by murderers and one of them was a psychopath, and all the inmates in the holding cell had tattoos with different pict on different parts of body. They looked at William, who was lying helpless with disgust. He had to be locked up in prison until the trial was held. An inmate approached him, "Wake up!" His deep voice made William open his eyes slowly, and sometimes the inmate kicked William's body softly when he didn't respond.
"Please, help me." With a soft and stuttering voice, William reached out his hand for help to the inmate in front of him. The tattooed man grimaced and spat recklessly.
"It’s okay!" The man reached out his hand and grabbed William's hand. Instead of helping him up, the inmate slammed William's body hard to the floor. William became even more helpless, the man groaned in pain while clutching his waist. As if his bones were broken and unable to bear the pain, William could only cry in pain. Meanwhile, the other inmates in the cell laughed uncontrollably, ignoring William's condition.

"Thank goodness you're awake now," a middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief as he saw William come to. Meanwhile, William still felt sore all over his body, but it wasn't as bad as before. His eyes stare around the all-white walled room, with an IV tube attached to his left hand.
"Where am I?" William asked with a confused look, then looked at the middle-aged man next to him. He squinted when he saw the man he had met at his CEO inauguration a few days ago.
"Isn't it you..."
"That's right, Sir. I'm very pleased that you still remember me," the middle-aged man responded politely to William. Occasionally, he glanced at William with his friendly smile. The man looked around the room with a puzzled expression, as William was in the hospital. How did he end up here?
"I brought you here, Sir," the middle-aged man named Matthew explained, who had brought William to the hospital for medical treatment. William frowned, "How could that be?" He couldn't believe it just like that.
After several inmates tortured him, William passed out and was unconscious without anyone helping him. Until one of the police officers, who was a close friend of Matthew, told him and brought William to the hospital. There, William received special treatment from the medical team because there were injuries on several parts of his body.
William was very grateful to Matthew for his kindness, and the middle-aged man felt embarrassed. "I'm sorry, sir. Because of me, you had to endure a very bad life," Matthew bowed his head, a deep regret felt at this moment. William squinted, not understanding the man's words.
"What do you mean?"
Thirty-five years ago.
Hendry Jonathan Frank married a woman named Jessica Agatha. She was a prominent Real Estate entrepreneur in the city of Sydney, her company was so large and had several subsidiary companies that were no less competitive with the parent company. Behind her success, it turned out that her brother named Roemy felt jealous of his younger brother's achievements. Making him go crazy wanting to destroy his own brother's family. Unlike his younger brother, Roemy was just a reckless thug. His daily routine was spent getting drunk and gambling.
When Hendry and his wife's marriage hit three years, Jessica was blessed with her first pregnancy. Making the couple so happy, as Hendry really wanted a child to inherit the company in the future. Unfortunately, when Jessica was about to give birth, Roemy came with some men. He came to destroy what Hendry had at that time.
Hendry was worried about his brother's attack, especially that night Jessica was already having contractions.
"What should we do?" Hendry panicked when his brother threw rocks at his house. Even some of his windows were already broken that night. The man asked his trusted person named Matthew, he couldn't think clearly, he was so worried.
Meanwhile, a doctor was helpin' Jessica childbirth, and shortly thereafter she give birth a baby boy. But things were gettin' out of hand at Hendry's place. The guards were bein' slaughtered by some of Roemy's men, and his brother even had the nerve to throw fireballs, causin' a fire at Hendry's house.
"Matthew, take my son away. Take him far away!"
"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
"I'm William, the only son of Hendry Frank." He pointed his gun directly at Roemy's head. The old man stared in disbelief, clearly taken aback. Roemy squinted his eyes, "A-aren't they already dead?" Fear was evident on his face.William smirked, pleased to see him scared. "It's not that easy to kill my family, you scum!" The 32-year-old man pulled the trigger, the shot narrowly missing Roemy's head and hitting the wall instead."You bastard! A lowlife like you doesn't deserve to live! You know that Hendry was your brother, don't you?!" William shouted, his anger exploding uncontrollably. He kicked Roemy hard, causing the old man to fall to the ground. He didn't care about his uncle's condition. For him, the old man had to pay for what he did in the past."I'm sorry, William. Please don't kill me," Roemy pleaded as he knelt down and begged for forgiveness from his nephew. In his heart, he didn't regret his past mistakes, but he also didn't want to die just yet.William aimed his pistol
