Just as the guards were about to do as Perry had ordered to kick William out, they heard an icy voice rise behind the crowd:“Don’t touch him!”Everyone looked toward the voice, and they saw a beautiful girl with a cold and aloof face walking toward the commotion.The crowd split into two halves as people made way for the girl.The girl was in a beautiful white gown and a pair of stiletto heels.She looked to be one meter and seventy-eight centimeters or above.A sense of pride and dominance emanated from her wild and gleaming eyes, making many less confident men and women lower their heads.It was as if the girl was a queen from a world of ice.“Who is she? How dare she speak up for William?” One of the onlookers asked with disdain.Those who had already recognized the girl were shocked by the onlooker’s daring question.One of them hurried to cover the onlooker’s mouth and said, “Are you crazy? That’s the princess of the Lancaster Family.”“Princess of the Lancaster Family?” The onl

William chuckled upon hearing Cecilia's words. “I had no idea that I was interesting enough for a woman of your caliber to do such a deep dive.”“Well, you are,” Cecilia admitted. Aware that William was truly an enigma with much to offer, Cecilia knew for a fact that William was a person she had to befriend.After the two left the hall, they were greeted by an old man.“This is Uncle Link, my Grandpa's right-hand man. He is going to show us the items being put on auction before it starts.” Cecilia said with a smile.“Thank you for the introduction, Missy. This way, please.” The old man was dressed in a sleek and meticulously ironed suit.His tempered and composed demeanor resembled that of a butler from an English Household.” I have heard that Perry had offended our guest, that lad deserves the punishment. ”The old man talked as he led the way, all the while, he didn’t look at William even once.As the most trusted advisor of the Lancaster household, Uncle Link was one of if not the

“There is nothing else to look at here, let’s go.” Having obtained the precious jade, William was satisfied.“You don't desire anything else?” Cecilia pressed, unwilling to believe that there was a man on earth who would reject a chance to have anything in the world.Shockingly for her, William remained adamant. “Nothing else.”“I see.”“If you don't mind, I'd like to take my leave.”“Of course,” Cecilia said. “Let me escort you.”And so, the duo quickly left while Link couldn't help but grow more curious about the young man known as William Belmont.***After William ensured that Victoria and Zara got home safely once they'd left the exhibition, he left to meet with John at Lakeside Hotel.He joined him in the VIP section where food and drinks were laid out for them both, ready to be consumed. Quite exhausted, William took a seat and swiftly indulged in the spread with John also joining in.“So?” John began while chewing on a turkey leg.“I found it but it appears to have been damag

He walked over to the road junction and flagged a cab to send her home. It was obvious that he had been the truck’s target, and he didn’t want to drag her into this mess.At the entrance to the villa, Celia halted and spun around to ask, “Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?”“It’s fine. You should get some rest.” William politely refused as if he hadn’t understood what she was trying to say.“You idiot!” Celia humped, glaring at him before spinning around and going into the house.William waited until the doors closed to look away, his eyes now cold and ruthless. “John, help me look into the truck.”“On it. Give me three minutes.” John whipped out his phone and made a call.In less than three minutes, the results came in. “Done. It turns out the Grays put a bounty of up to ten million dollars on your head. Most of the bounty killers should have their eyes on you by now. That truck was one of their attempts.”“The Grays.” William narrowed his eyes, the air around him turning mu

“I’m curious, Mr. Cavendish. Why would you marry her? You could have just had fun without getting married. This doesn’t seem like something you’d do.” The blond man observed.“Don't worry about it, it's a personal affair of mine. Just know that at the end of it all, I will come out even greater than I am now.”His words caused a stir among the crowd, and they immediately began singing his praises.“As expected of Mr. Cavendish, he thinks so far ahead. How impressive!”“He has brains and brawn. He’s amazing!”“Once I finish with this little game, I will become the head of the Cavendishs!” Argrave declared confidently.Competition between Argrave and his brothers was fierce, as everyone wanted to become the head of the family.To win against them, he must have enough strength and power.“Then let us wish you a happy marriage in advance!” The blonde man led the group to offer Argrave a toast. Soon, laughter resonated through the room.8 pm at Lakeside Hotel.William had arrived earlier t
