The thugs burst out laughing when they heard Patricia’s response, as if her lack of money was the funniest thing they had heard all morning. “Then let us take bread and cakes for free! That way, we’ll leave,” another thug said with a grin. “You can also pay with your bodies…” another man added. The men looked the two girls up and down with disgusting expressions, making the sisters visibly uncomfortable. William had already heard enough. He stepped out of the bakery and walked toward them. “What’s going on here?” he asked. One of the thugs looked at him and laughed. “Is there a strong hero here?” Another man laughed. “You think you can defeat all of us? Your small body will be beaten to a pulp if you dare to fight us!” William didn’t look intimidated. Instead, he calmly moved forward and gestured for the two girls to step back and stay away from the confrontation. “So, you want to be kicked out violently? That’s fine too. Come on and fight me,” William said, deliberately prov

As William expected, Carmen soon came over and showed him the garden designs she had been working on. She was so excited about the project that she had prepared two different concepts instead of just one. Both designs were beautiful, and William honestly liked them equally. “It seems you really have a talent for this, Angel. Evan, do you think you could actually build a garden like this?” William asked as he handed Carmen’s iPad to Evan. Carmen immediately sat up straighter. She looked nervous as Evan studied her designs, clearly worried that he might find something wrong with them. Compared with William, Evan had much more experience with gardens, and Daniel was even more knowledgeable in that area. When Carmen had first applied to work at Little Heaven, Evan and Daniel had quickly pointed out several problems in her designs. She had improved a lot since then, and Carmen desperately wanted to know whether they could see the difference. “Oh, this is much better than before. Just as

Selene felt a cold shiver run through her when she learned that William and Liz had gone up to the rooftop. She was frightened by the thought of following them there, but she forced herself to continue anyway. In her mind, there had to be a reason they had chosen such a private place. Selene was convinced that the two of them were planning to do something inappropriate. She had also overheard earlier that Liz wanted to show William something on the rooftop. What a shameless woman. Selene had already decided that Liz was cheap. In her mind, Liz had even caused her own cousin to break up with William, so there was no way Selene could think well of her. Instead of leaving, Selene became excited at the thought of exposing the two of them. She pulled out her smartphone and started a live broadcast on the most popular social media platform. Selene was extremely active online and had built a large following. She was beautiful, dressed well, and constantly showed off her luxurious lifestyl

Jake was stunned for a few seconds before finally understanding what William meant. He immediately started searching for properties and businesses they could purchase in the area. He had almost forgotten that his boss possessed more money than Jake could ever imagine having. “There are several properties available right now, and most of the purchases can be completed within a few hours. There’s a beautiful resort, several large commercial buildings, and…” “Buy everything, Jake! Don’t overthink it. Just buy everything, okay? You can handle all of that for me, right? I’m going up to the roof for a while. I need to clear my head.” Jake nodded immediately. “Okay, boss! Leave it to me. But do you have a spending limit?” William gave him a small smile. “Around fifteen million dollars, Jake. Buy whatever you think is worth buying, whether it’s profitable or not. Understood?” William left the office after saying that, leaving Jake looking unusually excited. The truth was that William was

“Daddy! Why did you take so long? He’s a jerk who tried to touch me. Punish him quickly!” Sofie complained, pointing directly at William. William could only chuckle. He honestly hadn’t expected his cousin to become a sugar baby for a man who looked to be in his late thirties. The man was fairly handsome, but he was almost the same age as Sofie’s parents. William was also certain that a man like him probably had a wife and children somewhere at home. “So, you prefer that man over your own cousin who was only trying to help you?” William asked. Sofie burst out laughing. “Help me? Help yourself, poor William! You’re poor, but you sure talk a lot of nonsense! Don’t say so much when you can’t even help yourself. Just look at me. Even though my father went bankrupt, I found another way to keep getting the luxury things I want! Unlike you, who is so short-sighted and works like some poor laborer. Don’t come near me because I might catch your poverty!” William suddenly felt foolish for th
