All eyes on him
A tough man like Ryan was so overwhelmed with grief and misery that he had been reduced to such a state.Many people present were parents themselves, and they were full of empathy for Ryan.Influenced by his sorrow and anger, they looked at Joel with some hostility.If their child was killed so brutally by someone who claimed to be their best buddy and even denied having killed them, they would also be just as grief-stricken and would also seek justice for their child even if it meant completely offending the Wallaces.Steven’s face was extremely terrifying.He looked around at the crowd while countless thoughts raced through his mind.From a rational point of view, the best thing to do now was probably to hand over his grandson Joel to Ryan and leave him at the latter’s disposal.Then he would apologize and try to gain these families’ understanding to save the Wallaces’ image and dispel their suspicions.However, such an approach would bruise his ego!He was about to become the hegem
Blown out of proportion
Some people who had seen Kobe immediately exclaimed, “That’s indeed Kobe Preston’s corpse!”“I didn’t expect that Kobe is really dead!”“The red Maserati indeed belongs to Joel. It’s his license plate. Based on the background, it should be in the Wallaces’ villa!”“Oh my God. They all say that Kobe is Joel’s top lackey and extremely obedient to him. I can’t believe that Joel really killed him.”“Hey, I heard that the Prestons have always been respectful to the Wallaces, but I never thought that such a thing would happen. He actually killed Ryan Preston’s only son and even denied it. He’s gone overboard!”“I think we have to be careful in our cooperation with the Wallaces! If we encounter this kind of thing one day, we’ll end up really miserable!”“Yeah, who do the Wallaces think they are? Do they take us cooperative partners as slaves they can easily bully?”At first, many people were shocked that Kobe had really died in Joel’s hands.But soon, the topic of the conversation turned to
Conclusive evidence
Ryan’s voice was full of anger and resentment.At the thought that he almost lost the chance to see his son’s body yesterday, he wished he could skin Joel alive!If not for the fact that the Prestons’ power was inferior to the Wallaces’, he would have long gone to Joel to demand that he pay for it with his life.There would have been no point in enduring until now.He initially planned to use the power of several major families in Avalon to deal with the Wallaces slowly.But when Ryan saw Steven’s actions, he knew that he couldn’t afford to wait any longer.If he had continued waiting, the Wallaces would probably have become the greatest hegemon in Avalon.In that case, he would never be able to complete his plan for revenge.In that case, no matter what, he had to expose the Wallaces’ evil deeds so that the families who wanted to rely on the Wallaces, faithfully follow them, and slog their guts out for them would see what would happen at the very end!William looked up at Ryan with a
A tense business exchange
After leaving the Emerald Garden, Celia still felt amused by the scene. “William, did you see it?... Nessa’s face was so ugly. I’ve never seen her so upset since we were best friends. It’s incredible!”“Uh… You don’t feel bad that your former best friend ended up in such a plight, do you?” William asked hesitantly.Celia gave it some serious thought before saying casually, “At the beginning, I did feel a little sad. But after everything that’s happened today, I’ve completely seen Nessa’s true colors. Now that I think about the things that happened in high school, I realize she probably never genuinely treated me as her friend!“So, she’s merely shown her true colors now. I was never really her best friend before, and now, we have nothing to do with each other. I didn’t really lose anything. After thinking about it like this, I feel more relaxed!”Celia waved her hand, seemingly throwing away the unpleasant memories of the past, and then suddenly laughed. “But speaking of which, she ha
The real deputy general manager
When Bill and Nessa were bragging about their status earlier, they had said more than once that he was the deputy general manager of Vice City and had come over to San Francisco to attend the ordinary business exchange on the corporation’s behalf.“H-he’s my nephew,” Desmond said with bewilderment.He had already indicated their relationship when he came in just now. He didn’t know why William asked him again.“I mean, what is Bill’s position in Vice City? What kind of work does he do?” William asked again patiently.“Uh? He… My nephew isn’t an employee of Vice City!” Desmond looked even more bewildered.William, Celia, and the others looked at Bill with an even more peculiar gaze.At this moment, Desmond realized that there seemed to be something he didn’t know about and quickly yelled at Bill, “You bastard! What else have you done behind my back? Hurry up and tell me the truth! Or else I will immediately break your legs!”Bill was so frightened that he finally couldn’t hold on any l
Already too late
Celia pushed Nessa away expressionlessly and said coldly, “It’s already too late. You’ve just said it yourself that we’re no longer friends! From now on, there will be nothing between us!”Hearing what Celia said, Nessa immediately froze on the spot.She didn’t expect Celia, someone she had taken advantage of for years, would turn her down without mercy!If Celia didn’t help her, what… was she supposed to do?She would never be able to afford the compensation of 2.8 million dollars!Although Bill’s family would probably be able to afford it, she was the one who had broken the vase at the end of the day.Bill's family definitely wouldn’t let her off, and they would definitely make her pay them back!When the time came, she probably wouldn’t be able to pay them back even if she was sold to them as a slave and slogged her guts out for the rest of her life.At the thought of this miserable situation, Nessa felt cold all over.She was terrified and in utter despair.But she only had hersel
