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

“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
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Stepping up
“Are you out of your mind!?” Celia erupted without thinking, clearly incensed by Lucas' thoughtless act.“What did I do?” Lucas shot back. “If you love me, you should be willing to do anything for my safety or are you just going to sit back and watch me get beaten up?... I was standing up for you, right?... So fucking stand up for me!”Celia didn't even know how to respond because, in some convoluted way, Lucas wasn't in the wrong, which left her unsure of how to react.Jared burst into a mocking laughter as he kicked Lucas aside after which he began to head in Celia and Ava's direction with a sinister grin on his lips.“What are you doing?... Don't come any closer?” Ava said in a panic while trying to back away.“Why shouldn't I?... Your protector over there has already given you both up so what else is stopping me from coming closer?”“What are you even saying?... Don't you have any morals?” Jared scoffed. “Only fools have morals. People like me, well, we can do whatever we want, w
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Shameless to a fault
Everyone was stunned, save for a few who were aware of William's incredible skill.No one could have fathomed that he was so skilled, after all, this was beyond the realm of a normal martial artist.Even Lucas, who expected William to be beaten up for making the mistake of refusing Jared's offer, was unable to believe his eyes as he wondered how William could be so capable.Even more stunned than him was the sister duo, Celia and Ava, both of whom were still struggling to come to terms with what they'd seen. Meanwhile, for the first time since his arrival, Jared's calm facade was broken as he stared at his defeated subordinates.Only when William turned his attention to him did he take a step back in fright.“Just… who are you?”“My identity is of no consequence to you,” William replied as he took steady steps forward.“Stay away.”“Why though?” William asked, using the same tone Jared had utilized when speaking with Celia.Jared clenched his jaw at the subtle jab as he bellowed. “Be
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates The Crimson King
“You all should leave now,” William remarked, breaking the awkward silence that had settled in the parking lot.“But…”“It's fine. I'll take responsibility for my actions. None of you have to wait with me.”The guests, though supportive of William's actions, understood that he was just trying to help them.Unlike him, they weren't capable of defending themselves and due to the nature of the event, none of them had come with guards, which meant that they were defenseless if the situation turned dangerous.“Alright then.”With that, they all began to take their leave.However, not all of them left.Victoria remained, as well as Mr. Kingsley, and surprisingly, Celia remained as well.“Celia, what are you doing?” Ava couldn't understand why she was being stubborn.“I'm not going. You guys can leave, don't worry, I'll be fine.”“Celia, don't be stubborn,” Lucas remarked. “There's no reason to risk our lives when we can just leave.”“Instead of talking so much, how about you make yourself u
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Playing a dangerous game
William had just put the last of the kids to bed when he felt something causing his expression to shift.The enemy was close, and judging from the pull he felt, there was no doubt that there was a powerhouse.Of course, this didn't change the fact that William wasn't about to let them go scot-free.He walked into another room where he'd kept Jared tied up only to find Victoria seated across from Jared.“You are still here?” William asked in slight exasperation.“You never asked me to leave,” Victoria replied causing William to raise a brow.“... Well, you did but I don't plan to do so.”“Hah, what about Tanya?”“She left.”“She should have taken you along.”“Hey, don't be mean!”William rolled his eyes but decided not to pay any more attention to her.Only then did he notice that Celia, Ava, and Lucas were still around as well.William exchanged looks with Celia and for a moment, Celia wished that he would express worry for her just like he'd done for Victoria.But unfortunately, that
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Dual titles
But that wasn't all, as Celia as well as Ava were also in danger, with three of Lex's subordinates charging at them with the intent to kill.Thinking that William was caught up trying to protect Victoria, they didn't think they had any reason to worry and so, took their leisure time with Celia and Ava.“Stay away!” Celia cried out in a panic.Just as one of them raised their hand to hit her, she turned to protect Ava who was also terrified.However, the pain she was expecting never arrived and instead, merely a gust of wind rushed past them.“I thought I told you to leave.” A voice suddenly spoke up in that moment, drawing the attention of the two ladies.Celia and Ava looked back to find that it was William who had spoken and he was currently the only thing standing between them and death.“You…” Celia trailed off as she found herself unable to say anything else.“Get out of here!” William bellowed.“But…”“I said leave!” “You are a brute!” Ava exclaimed only for Celia to grab her,

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
