The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Throw him behind bars and toss away the keys
The consensus amongst the public was that with her current fame, Celia Rodriguez was destined to be a superstar who would make waves across not just the country but the world.She had everything that was needed to do so and that was why people were bending over backwards to have a relationship with her.The women were jealous and the men were fighting just for a chance to be with her.Meanwhile, Celia didn't pay much attention to the commotion that her presence had caused as she was used to it by now.Why wouldn't they adore her?... She was Celia Rodriguez, the next big thing in the entertainment industry.She felt that whatever she wanted, she could get, and tonight, the highlight of today's event, which was the plot of land that Lucas had promised her, would surely come into her possession. Just then, Lucas got down from the car as well, immediately drawing attention as the attendees began to murmur among themselves.“Isn't that Lucas Vazquez?”“That's him for sure. What is he doin
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Blinded by ambition
Celia glanced towards the person to find that it was Victoria Smith causing her to wonder who Victoria was referring to as her benefactor.There's no way it was William, right?Meanwhile, Victoria quickly arrived next to William and placed an arm around his own, catching everyone off guard, including William.Before now, when Victoria had learned that William was being confronted by his ex-wife, she thought about not getting involved, after all, it could be considered a family matter.But then, recalling how he had saved her daughter when it wasn't his place to do so and how he had saved her from Scar when it also wasn't his place to do so, caused her to feel indebted to him.Hence the reason she decided to support William and to drive the point home that fighting with William was the same as fighting with her, she decided to link arms with him, giving off the impression that he was her date for the night. Naturally, this drew the attention of the guests in attendance as well as the
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates The name is James
“Blinded by ambition?” Celia snorted. “Perhaps you are the one that lacks it. Else, what sane man would decide to be a kept man while his wife dominates the world?”William offered no response, not because he didn't have one but because he saw no need to give one.He was a man who had achieved everything and only wished to rest.He had used what he had to place Celia in her current position yet she ignored that, thinking that she was dominating the entertainment industry due to her hard work.Celia sneered thinking that she had struck a nerve in William. “Cat caught your tongue?” “I do hope that you do not fall now that you have gotten so high. It would be a shame.” William calmly replied causing Celia to retort.“You don't have to worry about that because that's never going to happen.”“You sound so sure.” “Because I am,” Celia said before shifting her attention to Victoria. “So you can enjoy your boy toy until you get tired of him, which you will, mind you, after which, just like
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Watch me work my magic
“Of course!” James exclaimed arrogantly before turning to Victoria. “How about you accompany me for the rest of the night, young miss?... I believe we have more in common than you can imagine.”Not missing the insult he snuck into his words, William remarked. “I have been courteous to you so far, Mr. Wilson; I ask that you do the same.”“Unfortunately, I can't. You see, unlike every other person in this room, I am a man of substance who has served as the stock advisor of several companies for years. I could get you kicked out of here if I wanted with a simple snap of my hands so you'd best keep shut.”By now, their exchange had already drawn the attention of guests as they watched the showdown, enthralled by the drama unfolding.Victoria seemed amused as she inquired. “Do you know who William is?”“I do but I have no idea why he is regarded as such a big deal. A doctor is still a doctor, no matter how good he is. How much could he possibly have?”Victoria ignored him as she turned to
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Bidding war
“There's no way that good for nothing has 1.5 million saved up, right?” Ava asked as she stared at William.He had just made a bid, catching her as well as Lucas off guard as they thought of him as a poor man who needed Celia to survive.Celia however, remarked. “Well, he was once a well-known medical practitioner, so it's no surprise that he has a bit of money saved up.”“That's true.” Lucas nodded in agreement. “Which means he is most likely utilizing everything he has.”“How foolish. Instead of him to save himself, he is thinking about saving children.” Ava said in a mocking tone. “I'm sure he is only trying to do this to entice Miss Smith.”Celia snorted. “Heh, if that's his plan, then he is beyond foolish.”“I agree. The Smith family is a wealthy family capable of buying whatever they want whenever they want. Does he think that a meager 1.5 can make an impression on the heiress of such a reputable family?” As the trio continued to gossip about William, the auctioneer replied to
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates People are allowed to be stupid
In truth, Victoria was also surprised that William would place such a bid as she didn't expect him to have that amount of money but it seemed she was wrong.In truth, William had no idea the exact amount he had in his savings account, but he knew one thing, and that was that he was wealthier than everyone else in the auction hall!All because he never really needed money, he never bothered to check his balance but at the very least, his account had ten billion dollars in it!“And if he doesn't?... Have you forgotten that I am here?” Victoria shot back, catching Ava off guard.She was surprised as she glanced at Celia, expecting some form of support.The next instant, Celia loudly said, drawing attention to herself. “80.”Finally, William turned in her direction but instead of annoyance, his eyes seemed to hold a trace of mockery in them toward her. “100.” William calmly remarked before adding. “Tread lightly, Miss Rodriguez, you might end up falling into serious debt if you continue.
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates The name is Jared
It didn't take long for Mr. Kingsley to arrive only to pause as he immediately sensed the tense atmosphere.Unsure of the reason behind this, he approached Celia. “Miss Celia, I had no idea you were here as well. In truth, I had begun to wonder why William was alone. It's good to know that you both are still together.”Before Celia or anyone else could respond, Ava remarked. “Do you live under a rock?... Don't you know that my sister has divorced that good for nothing?”Mr. Kingsley froze as he didn't realize that such a thing had happened.The news was indeed all of social media but he did not frequent social media as he was more of a retro individual.Hence the reason he was unaware of such a development.“I… had no idea.” He said as he glanced back at William who nodded in response.“Ava, that's no way to speak to Mr. Kingsley.” Celia lightly said with Ava snorting in response.“Well, he should learn to get his facts straight instead of perpetuating lies.”“That's enough.” William
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Blood Eagles
“Didn't you just hear that she's not interested?... Stop bothering us and get lost.” Ava said.“And if I don't want to?” Jared inquired.“Then don't blame me for making you regret it,” Lucas said as he shoved him back.How could he stand back and do nothing while some bastard was making a move on his girl?Seeing an opportunity to make a good impression on Celia after the unfortunate debacle at the auction, Lucas didn't hesitate to take it.‘You will be my path back into Celia's heart.’ Lucas thought as he came to stand between Celia and Jared.Jared chuckled, clearly amused by Lucas' bravado.“What's so funny, fucker?” Lucas asked, already preparing to utilize his power as a cultivator to land a devastating blow to defeat Jared.Jared replied with a smirk. “Isn’t it amusing watching a rat bear its fangs to a lion?”“Who are you calling a rat?” Lucas glared at Jared.“You, of course,” Jared said. “Bastard, you are asking for it!” Lucas bellowed as he threw a punch only for Jared to c

More than what meets the eye
Without even sparing Zachary a glance, she turned around toward William and said, “Mr. Belmont, the exhibition is about to start. Why don’t you follow me to the pre-show exhibition to go over the items? ”“Very well.” William nodded.William shot Zachary a glance and smiled before he followed Cecilia out of the reception hall.Perry’s legs finally gave in and brought him to the ground.Zachary gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, trying to suppress the fire burning inside of his belly.The last scornful glance that William gave him was a sharp jab at his self-esteem.“Asshole!”He waited until the two were gone before he allowed himself to be seized by anger.He wrenched a half-empty wine glass on the table and smashed it on the floor.“Mr. Zach, please watch your actions.” Another manager who was called to deal with the emergency said with a scowl.Zachary looked around and realized that he had become a laughingstock. He stormed out of the room with the taste of defeat in his mo
A queen from a world of ice
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
Kick him out
Manager Perry was unfazed by the question. He said calmly, “Because I know Young Master Zach is a good friend of my boss. But I can’t remember who this young gentleman over here is even though I have written all the invitations by myself. May I ask who you are?”“It doesn't matter what his name is.” Zachary snorted. “I really don’t think that he is on your invitation list.”As soon as Zachary fished his words, Victoria’s mind raced in a bid to figure out a way to handle the situation.“I don’t think he has one. He must have snuck in.” An onlooker jeered at William.“I bet you are right! Look at all the garbage that he is wearing. I can’t believe that they let him in.” Another one took a jab at William.“He is in knee-deep trouble! The owner of the Lancaster International Group was not someone he could mess with. Plus, he is on Zachary’s bad terms, too. He is as dead as a doornail.” Someone heaved a sigh.“Sir, please show me your invitation, or else I will have to call security.” Mana
A dramatic development
Darius was taken aback by the news.He knew that Zachary’s short temper would very likely prompt him to start a brawl with William on sight.“Speaking of the devil! Look, isn’t that Zachary?” Jared gasped.The other two looked over toward the entrance, and they saw a brawny young man in a gym suit storm into the event hall, pushing people out of his way as he went.“And so it begins... anyone wants some popcorn?” The dramatic development amused Darius.Even as William and Victoria, along with Zara, were gleefully sampling the ensemble of deserts on the table, a man came over to them with a few large strides.“Vicky, come here for a second, I need to talk to you.”Zachary didn’t even spare William a glance as he fixed his eyes on Victoria.Victoria raised a brow. “First of all, Vicky?... I don't think we've ever been that close. Secondly, what's up?... Why can’t you just tell me here?”“Here?” Zachary scanned around him and then turned to William and Zara, and said with a commanding vo
Preserving his master's destiny
Back in the exhibition hall, William searched through the items on display only to discover that the Dragon Fang on display was a fake.To think that he'd wasted his time trying to look for it. Just as he considered leaving, a suited man approached him and remarked. “Could you please come with me, young master?”Judging from the way the man addressed him, William understood that he had no ill intentions but he was still perplexed as to why the man had approached him.“Where to, exactly?”“The exhibition happening here is only the beginning. There's a second exhibition that will be taking place tomorrow at a private location, and you've been invited.”William furrowed his brows. “Why?”“The Lancasters would appreciate it if you attended and would be more than happy to handle any request you might have for them.”At this point, onlookers had begun to gather, quite curious to figure out what was happening.Upon hearing that the suited man was connected to the Lancasters, they began to m
Until we meet again
According to Cecilia’s instructions, they opened the display case and carefully took out the three-legged cauldron.They then turned it over and revealed the bottom of the cauldron.Cecilia stared at the bottom of the furnace and carefully scrutinized it a few times while the people around them craned their necks to see what was on the bottom.This allowed William to confirm that the cauldron was indeed a replica.“There’s no mark on the bottom of the cauldron,” William reminded kindly.“Mark?”“What mark?”“Never heard of such a thing...”The people standing around hadn’t done much research on antiques, so most of them didn’t understand what exactly William meant.But the Lancasters had built their business empire off of antiques, so Cecilia naturally understood the technical jargon and what William meant.Her gaze fixed on the cauldron.“There really isn’t a mark!” Her expression became rather sullen.But many people around were still confused.William explained kindly, “The so-call
Tired of living
rCecilia’s eyes lit up, and she seemed to be deep in thought. “There’s indeed such a possibility. But how are you so sure that this cauldron is a replica and not the real deal?”Cecilia’s gaze was clear.She wasn’t questioning William but genuinely asking him for guidance.Her attitude immediately took the countless people around them by surprise.Cecilia had behaved like an arrogant, domineering, and spoiled heiress when confronting Donald just now.But she was now facing William with an extremely calm attitude and didn’t lose her temper even when he doubted the authenticity of the antiques at the exhibition.Instead, she was discussing it composedly with him.It was indeed a little strange.William explained a little bit about the history and process of the cloisonné enamelware, which immediately made the entrepreneurs around them cluck their tongues in awe.Although some of them were antique collectors, most of them were focused only on the elegance of the antiques and had never d
Ending up in a worse plight
The hidden threat in Ava's words immediately enraged Cecilia.“Hmph, it’s just the Redmond family! He’s still just a scion now and not the helmsman yet. Even if the helmsman were right in front of me now, I’d tell him to get lost all the same! Don’t think you guys are that big of a deal. If you get on my nerves, I can easily destroy your family! Now, get lost!” Cecilia sounded extremely domineering and even seemed to have a touch of arrogance.Although she seemed to be only in her twenties and was much younger than everyone present, no one dared to question the truth of her words.After all, it would be a piece of cake for a giant like the Lancasters to annihilate the Redmonds!Finding Cecilia overly tyrannical and unreasonable, Ava bit her lower lip. “Miss Lancaster, how can you...”“Shut up!” Donald suddenly interrupted and rebuked before Ava could finish speaking.“Miss Lancaster, I’ll definitely make it up to you another day for offending you with my words today!” Donald maintaine
I, Cecilia Lancaster
Donald was livid, and he roared with a menacing expression, “William Belmont, you’re deliberately provoking the Redmonds! I won’t let you off!”William sneered. “You’re making it sound as if you’d let me off even if I stand here without doing anything! You’ve been the one looking to create trouble right from the start!”“Fine, you’ve got some nerve! Let me tell you, just wait. The Redmonds will release their wrath on you!” Donald snapped furiously.“Hmph, it’s just the Redmond family. What’s the big deal?” William said nonchalantly without taking the Redmonds seriously at all.Donald should have been even angrier, but all of a sudden, his heart was full of an inexplicable panic.Generally, those who dared to disregard the Redmonds were either too dense and ignorant to get a clear idea of the situation or simply fearless.Given how William had angered Donald to the point of being speechless multiple times, he definitely wasn’t a fool...‘Could William Belmont really have something to f
