Chapter 149
The moment Jefferson's friend shouted, something shifted in the air.The faces of the men standing around William changed.Their expressions hardened, their jaws tightened, and they exchanged quick glances with one another, a silent agreement passing between them.They looked at William, their eyes filled with anger and indignation."How dare you," one of them said, his voice sharp and accusing. "How dare you punch him? How dare you lay your fingers on him?"And then, without waiting for a response, five of them rushed forward at once.They came at William from different angles, their movements coordinated, their intent clear.They were trying to overpower him with sheer numbers, to use their collective strength to bring him down.But it did not work.William moved with a speed and precision that caught them completely off guard.The first one to reach him swung a wild punch, his fist aimed at William's face.William sidestepped easily, his body shifting just enough to avoid the blow,
Chapter 148
Jefferson was in the middle of dribbling the basketball, his movements fluid and casual, when something caught his eye.He stopped abruptly, the ball still bouncing once, twice, before he caught it and held it against his hip.His gaze was fixed on the entrance of the private basketball court, and a slow, deliberate smile began to spread across his face."Wow," he said loudly, his voice carrying across the court with unmistakable amusement. "Look who we literally have here."The moment he spoke, everything stopped.The game that had been in full swing just seconds before came to an immediate halt.The players on the court froze mid-motion, their heads turning in unison toward the entrance.The people sitting on the bench, who had been chatting and laughing, stood up, their conversations dying mid-sentence.The entire atmosphere shifted in an instant, the relaxed, carefree energy replaced by something sharp and tense, something expectant.And there, standing at the entrance, was Willia
Chapter 147
William stood frozen in the doorway, his hand still resting on the frame, his back to his mother.He did not turn around.He did not respond immediately.The silence stretched out, heavy and tense, and then his father's voice joined his mother's."You should not be doing that," his father said firmly, his tone carrying the weight of parental authority and concern. "Is that what you are actually planning to do? No, no, no. You should not. You absolutely should not. We should follow the right channel, go through the proper legal process. We should not go and start causing problems for ourselves. Do you understand?"He paused, his voice becoming more urgent."These people are powerful, William," he continued. "Veronica's husband is very, very wealthy. They have connections, resources, influence. I know that going through the legal system is going to be a very long and tedious process, I know the stress and the frustration are going to be overwhelming, but we should not go looking for pro
Chapter 146
Every head in the room turned sharply toward the doorway.The voice had come suddenly, cutting through the heavy silence like a knife, and when they looked, they saw William standing there.He was breathing hard, his chest rising and falling rapidly, his face flushed, his clothes slightly disheveled.From the look of him, it was clear that he had been running.That he had sprinted here, driven by urgency and fear, without stopping to catch his breath or compose himself.William's mother stared at him in shock."William," she said quickly, her voice rising with concern and confusion. "What the hell are you doing here? Who told you? We did not send you a message. We did not want to worry you until we knew more. How did you find out?"William did not answer immediately.He stood there in the doorway, his jaw tight, his hands clenched into fists at his sides, his eyes fixed on his sister lying in the hospital bed, wrapped from head to toe in bandages.And then he spoke, his voice low and
Chapter 145
William's sister lay in the hospital bed, her body wrapped in layers of bandages, her mind struggling to make sense of what had happened, to understand where she was and how she had gotten there."Where am I?" she whispered again, her voice weak and trembling. "What is going on? I cannot move my body."And then she heard a voice.A familiar voice, filled with relief and emotion."Oh, my sweet little angel," the voice said, breaking slightly with tears. "You are awake. Thank goodness. Thank goodness you are awake. I was not actually expecting you to wake up this quickly. Thank goodness."William's sister managed to turn her head slightly, the movement painful and restricted by the bandages, and when she did, she saw her mother standing beside the bed.Her mother's face was streaked with tears, her eyes red and swollen from crying, her expression a mixture of relief and anguish.And behind her, standing quietly, was her father.He looked just as worried, just as broken, his face drawn a
Chapter 144
William's sister lay on the floor, her body broken and battered, blood seeping from the wounds that covered her back, her face, her arms.She could not move anymore.She was so weak, so utterly drained of strength, that even the act of breathing felt like a monumental effort.She could not lift her hands.She could not speak.She could only lie there, trembling, her vision blurred by tears and pain, her mind struggling to hold onto consciousness.Jefferson stood over her, the whip still in his hand, and he stared down at her with an expression that was cold, detached, as if what he had just done was nothing more than a routine task."If you want to pretend that you are dead," he said, his voice calm and almost conversational, "go ahead. Even if you are actually dead, I will just carry your body and dump it somewhere else, and that will be the end of you. But I know you are not going to die. Because this is just a message. This is just a message to your brother."He paused, letting the
