Exchanging gifts
Victor said dotingly while looking at the back of his beautifully dressed granddaughter.After rinsing the basket of fruits under a tap, a servant placed them on a fruit tray, brought it over to the courtyard, and placed it on a stone table under a tree.This resting corner was decorated in an idyllic style, with a small stone table and three antique round tree stumps around it.Victor warmly asked William to sit down on a tree stump. “Quickly take a seat and try the fruits I planted myself. They are definitely better than what you can get elsewhere!”William smiled. “Thank you, Mr. Lancaster. I’m in for a treat today then.”At the same time, in the villa where Donald was…Donald had lost his temper just now from his failed attempts to convince Zayn and Richard to sever ties with William.He had even smashed his phone.He had to down several mouthfuls of tea to calm down.At this moment, the butler-like man who had previously invited William hurriedly came in from outside and reported
The ultimate bliss
After lashing out at Donald, Richard immediately hung up without giving Donald the chance to respond.Holding his phone tightly, Donald stood dumbfounded without reacting for a long time.Richard’s words were still ringing in his ears.As the only son of Victor, the head of the Lancaster family, it had been a long time since Donald had been reprimanded badly and had someone hang up on him.If it were someone else, Donald would have used the power of the Lancasters to kill them.But since he was facing Richard, the helmsman of the Smiths, who had recently risen in strength and was almost on par with the Lancasters, Donald had no choice but to bear with it.If this matter spread to his father’s ears, he would probably say that Richard had done a good job reprimanding him.He might even force him to apologize to Richard.Thus, he could only grit his teeth and tolerate it for now.But Richard’s attitude clearly showed that the Smiths would rather go to war with the Lancasters than sever t
An honored guest
Donald clearly stated his displeasure toward William.In his opinion, William managed to befriend the Khans entirely because he leveraged the power of the Lancasters.As long as he made it clear to the Khans what the Lancasters’ attitude toward William was, he believed that Zayn would draw a clear line with William immediately.He reckoned that Zayn would agree, especially since he had promised some benefits and extended an olive branch.Those wealthy families would eagerly agree immediately.“Mr. Lancaster, I’ve already told you that it’s impossible!” Zayn’s tone became cold and harsh, with extreme determination and some anger.“Regardless of what yours and the Lancasters’ attitude toward Mr. Belmont is, the Khans will never sever ties with Mr. Belmont!“Mr. Lancaster, if you called me today just to talk about this matter, then we don’t need to talk anymore. I still have something important to do, so I’ll hang up now. I’ll visit Mr. Lancaster Sr. another time.”With that, Zayn hung u
Making things clear to a fool
“Do you think I befriended the Khan family, the Smiths, and the others because of the Lancasters?” William suddenly asked.Donald frowned and asked rhetorically, “Isn’t it?”“It’s really true.” William raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly. “In that case, Mr. Lancaster, why don’t you call Mr. Khan and Mr. Smith to ask if they’re friends with me because of the Lancasters?!”He had a look of mockery on his face.He had long guessed it. Donald indeed thought that William had borrowed the Lancasters’ power to establish a relationship with the Khans and the Smiths. Just now, he even accused William of taking advantage of the Lancasters, which was simply hilarious.“Also, I hope that you won’t casually speculate on my intentions. I’m not interested in being your son-in-law, nor am I interested in the Lancasters’ assets. I only treat Cecilia as my younger sister.“As for my friendship with Mr. Lancaster Sr., this is a matter between us. You don’t seem to have any right to interfere, do you
A man with an incredibly flawed personality
Donald narrowed his eyes. “Do you really not understand, or are you just feigning ignorance? I’ll cut to the chase then. I don’t care what you’re thinking, but my daughter isn’t someone you can covet. I hope you can have some self-awareness and stay away from Cecilia.”Hearing his relentless warning, William didn’t get really angry but instead found his words ridiculous and absurd.It turned out that Donald had called him over just to warn him not to have any intentions about Cecilia.He reckoned that Donald must have seen how Cecilia used him as a shield by saying that she was in love with him just now.Thus, Donald got the wrong idea about him and began to feel hostile toward him.But William felt that he needed to explain to Donald that he didn’t have any ideas about Cecilia, and everything that happened just now was merely an act.“Mr. Lancaster, you’ve misunderstood. There’s nothing between me and Cecilia. Ask her yourself if you don’t believe me,” William said without lowering h
Stop beating around the bush
At this thought, Joel decided to call someone himself. “Immediately investigate a matter for me. There’s a man named William Belmont. Find out who he is exactly!”Since he was now aware that William was from Avalon and had a wife famous in the city, it would be much easier to find the information he wanted.After just a few minutes, Joel’s phone started ringing, and his subordinate told him all the information he had found about William.Joel raised his eyebrows in apprehension at first.But soon, he smiled a little, and eventually, his smile widened.When he finally hung up the phone, Kobe immediately asked impatiently, “Joel, how is it?”Joel laughed contemptuously. “Haha, it’s pretty much as you said. William Belmont is really just a live-in husband. He was putting on an act in front of us!”Kobe immediately asked to take on the task. “Joel, since this guy is just a good-for-nothing, leave it to me to handle! How dare this bastard want me to lick his shoes? He really doesn’t know a
