Too much money to spare
“Big bro, do you want me to get rid of this punk who’s here to cause trouble?” John asked with a cheeky grin.With a trace of anger on his face, Callum thought, Punk? I’m the esteemed future successor of the Johnsons. When have I ever been addressed that way?But he didn’t dare to flare up for the time being because he hadn’t gotten a clear idea of William’s background yet, but such a powerful figure had already appeared.Callum came here today with only two bodyguards, one of whom was already crippled and immobile on the road while the other was no match for John. If he flared up, he would be the one to suffer!“Hmph, it seems that you’re determined to go against the Johnsons. I don’t know who you are, but don’t forget that we’re in Avalon, and this is our turf. You’re being too arrogant! You won’t end up well!” Callum said fiercely before glaring at his bodyguard and then turning around to leave. “Let’s go!”“Hold it!” William suddenly called out to Callum, who was about to leave.“
Invitation to lunch at Panda Express
Now that Calvin had fled, Callum was certain that William must have coerced and even threatened Calvin into signing the transfer contract.It didn’t matter that Calvin had fled.But the fact that the Lover Bathhouse, the dirty business secretly run within it, and the beautiful ladies had all landed in someone else’s hands made Callum overwhelmed with fury!The Lover Bathhouse was very important to the Johnsons, and Callum had always been in charge of it.Once the news of this matter got out, the sly old foxes of the Johnsons would definitely take advantage and cause trouble for him.Thus, he was bent on finding the traitor Calvin and regaining ownership of the Lover Bathhouse!Putting aside what Callum was thinking, Lucian was staring at William solemnly and speaking to him in a private room of the Lover Bathhouse.“Mr. Belmont, you have just ruthlessly undermined Callum and embarrassed him. He’s known to be a vengeful person, so he definitely won’t let it go. The Johnsons are also ve
Something like that
Although Celia was a little surprised as to why someone from Syracuse Corporation would come at this time, since he was here to discuss business, Celia, who had a strong sense of responsibility, naturally chose to talk to him about the cooperation out of obligation.So she naturally wouldn’t be able to attend lunch at Panda Express.Celia called Rita and said, “Rita, I’m really sorry. An important client suddenly arrived, and he happens to be from the Syracuse Corporation, so I’m tied up at the moment. I’ll have to bail on you for lunch today.”While driving, Rita smiled and pretended to be vexed. “That’s such a pity. I’ve already ordered the food, and William is also on the way. But since something cropped up for you, and you can’t make it…”Celia apologized sincerely, “I’m so sorry. Why don’t you two go ahead today? I’ll treat you to a meal and catch up with you when I’m free another day.”This was exactly what Rita wanted to hear.But she pretended to be embarrassed and said, “That
Bumping into trouble
William had always had a high level of tolerance for alcohol, so the wine was just like an ordinary beverage to him.Watching William down his glass in one go, Rita followed suit and did the same. But after she finished drinking them, she immediately coughed a few times while her face became rosy.Sitting in her seat, she propped her hands on the table, looked at William, and giggled.William immediately frowned and looked at Rita.Did she get drunk from half a glass of red wine?He was already full, but Rita barely ate anything because she kept talking to him.“Have you eaten enough? We can leave after you’re full. Call someone to come pick you up,” William said.Rita burped and stood up tipsily with her eyes glazed over. “I’m full. Let’s go!”She stood up and walked toward the door.But when she passed by William, her legs went weak, and she fell onto William, who had just stood up.William subconsciously reached his hands out to hold her.“Are you alright?”“I’m fine… I’m just a l
Nothing between us
This scoundrel who popped up out of nowhere must have deliberately seduced Rita!“Punk, let me tell you, Rita is my woman. Forget about taking her away! Hurry up and get the hell away from her!” Johnny glared at William with wide eyes.William was quite speechless at this moment.He had nothing to do with either of them, but he had somehow been put in an awkward spot.Seeing Johnny putting the blame on William, Rita naturally couldn’t stand it any longer.She stepped forward, stood in front of William to shield him, and exclaimed loudly, “I’ve already said I have nothing to do with you at all. It’s up to me to decide who I want to befriend. It’s none of your business!’Johnny’s face instantly paled before reddening again.Any man would feel embarrassed to have his fiancée lash out at him and draw a clear line between them in public.He didn’t want to vent his anger on Rita, but he had already thought of William as the cause of his humiliation.“Hmph, you’re just trying to get together
Love triangle
In Rita’s opinion, Johnny was just a rich second-generation heir who did nothing except idle all day.Besides, he was also extremely possessive of her.For a long time, he had been repeatedly trying to interfere with her life, her friendships, and her interests.It was to the extent that he wished he could lock her up for his sole possession.There was once a boy who confessed his feelings to Rita.But he ended up having both his legs broken, his tongue cut off, and his body battered with bruises the day after.So Rita had long developed a fear of Johnny’s excessively possessive behavior, so much so that she would shun and avoid him whenever she saw him.The thought of marrying such a person and spending the rest of her life with him gave Rita the creeps.There was absolutely no way she would marry Johnny!Seeing how protective Rita was of William, Johnny flew into an uncontrollable rage. “Punk, you’re really a freeloader and a coward, aren’t you? You actually need a woman to protect
Forced to kneel
When Johnny heard the chatter of the crowd, his face became even more gloomy and sullen as he hollered furiously, “Get lost! What are you looking at? I’m a Baker, and we’re a top family. You people are just nobodies. Get lost now!”After being lashed out at for no reason, the onlookers looked at Johnny like they were looking at an idiot.But many people had heard of the Bakers before, and they were indeed a wealthy family whom ordinary people like them couldn’t afford to provoke.At the thought of this, many onlookers snorted coldly before silently backing away.Johnny thought that William would definitely be scared out of his wits once he brought up his family and immediately kneel to beg for mercy.But he never expected that William would remain standing with a peculiar expression and a mirthless smirk, making him really displeased.“Punk, what’s with that look on your face? Are you looking down on the Bakers?” Johnny snapped in pique.William smiled faintly. “It’s just the Bakers.
Leaving the restaurant with a grudge
William ignored the resentment in Johnny’s gaze and stepped on his ankle. “You’re still so arrogant now, huh? It seems you haven’t learned your lesson yet.”“Ah!” Johnny immediately shrieked in misery as a wave of fear surged in his heart.William seemed to really have no fear of the Bakers and was also capable of doing anything.Now that his bodyguards were incapacitated, he would have to suffer no matter what.Johnny was extremely furious, but he knew that he was now in a disadvantageous position and had no choice but to suppress his anger, not daring to glower at William.But deep down, he wished he could kill William!At this moment, Johnny had naturally long forgotten that if he hadn’t come looking for trouble with William, insulted him, and forced him to kneel, William wouldn’t have done this to him.“I’ve merely taught you a small lesson today. If you’re feeling indignant, feel free to get Charles Baker to come look for me. Also, from now on, if I see you pestering Rita Syracus
A father-daughter confrontation
Only after leaving the restaurant did Rita snap back to her senses and realize that she had been pretending to be drunk before this to get William to send her home.But after Johnny interfered and foiled her plans, she could no longer continue pretending.Rita simply stopped pretending, stood still, and apologized to William, “I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t called you out for lunch today, you wouldn’t have gotten into a conflict with Johnny and even offended him.”William shook his head. “It’s nothing. I really don’t care about the Bakers. If they’ve learned their lesson and don’t provoke me again, I naturally won’t make things hard for them, but if they refuse to give up and come looking for trouble, they’d better not blame me.”When Rita heard William’s tone, she felt that he really didn’t take the Bakers seriously.She couldn’t help wondering where he got his confidence from.After thinking about it for a while, Rita nevertheless gave William some instructions, “You were
Invited over by an acquaintance
There was a trace of misery and heartache in Jacob’s eyes, but he soon forced himself to stay firm in his decision. “Looks like I’ve spoiled you rotten all these years and let you live too well abroad, so much so that you’re completely clueless about the situation we’re in now! Do you think we’re that glorious and glamorous because we are one of the richest families in Avalon? Let me tell you, that’s just a superficial title! “The economy has been developing rapidly in recent years, and many small families have risen. We merely had a head start, but many of our businesses have been impacted by various startups and small businesses! If we don’t work harder to strengthen our foundation and businesses, they will be taken over by others sooner or later! By then, do you think we will still be able to live in the lap of luxury with peace of mind? “Rita, I am your father. Which father doesn’t want his daughter to be happy and enjoy life the way she wants? But we can’t always enjoy the fre
