Lesson learned
Overwhelmed with regret, Juarez finally couldn’t stand it any longer as he squatted on the ground and sobbed loudly.“Celia… where are you? I really know I was wrong. I wish I could bring you home right now, but I can’t find you!”Juarez squatted on the ground while tugging his hair and weeping miserably with mucus and snot falling from his nose.Looking even more disheveled than before, he attracted the attention of the crowd.Many came to surround him, but he could no longer be bothered!At this moment, a car abruptly braked and stopped beside Juarez.Juarez wiped a handful of tears and snot, looked up, and saw William getting out of the car and standing in front of him.At this moment, Juarez felt an unprecedented sense of guilt and remorse within him. Choking between sobs, he said, “William, I’ve let you down. I lost Celia to someone else. I can’t find her…”“Dad!”At this moment, a familiar voice that was also sobbing rang in his ears.Juarez immediately raised his head as if he
A father's regret
“William, what do you intend to do to my dad?” Celia asked with a conflicted expression.William glanced at Celia and said calmly, “Actually, when he used you as collateral, I really felt that he was completely unworthy of being a father, and I even felt an urge to kill him.“But when he knelt before me and begged me to let you go, I could tell that he truly regretted it at the time and wanted to take you back. He still cares about you, but when he’s obsessed with gambling, he can’t care about anything else.“So, I want him to wake him up and make him realize that if he continues to be addicted to gambling, he will lose his daughter, his family, everything. Only after he loses everything and hits rock bottom will he come to his senses and quit his addiction, which is the cause of these consequences!“So, Celia, you have to cooperate with me. You can’t go easy on him. Even if he looks for you, you must refuse to see him and make him realize what he has lost. Otherwise, he will never be
A deliberate gift
William knew that she was worried about Rita’s safety, so he couldn’t help but ask, “Rita has been living abroad all along and rarely comes back to Avalon, right?”Celia nodded. “Yes, Rita’s dad sent her abroad when she was at a tender age, and she has been living there since. She rarely comes back to Avalon and only does so once in a while. I got to know her when I did her a favor by chance many years ago, and we eventually became friends.“Over the years, we seldom met, and we usually communicate over the phone or through the internet. I only learned that she’s the daughter of Jacob Syracuse some time ago. But very few people here are aware of her identity. I really wonder who the culprit behind today’s incident is.”William comforted, “Don’t worry. With Jacob Syracuse’s abilities and resources, I’m sure they’ll find out who the real culprit is soon. And he will definitely tighten the security measures to ensure her safety in the future. Today’s incident shouldn’t happen again.”Cel
Saved in the nick of time
Rita knew she was in trouble and was about to run away.But when she saw the motorcycle about to hit her, her mind went blank, and she froze right on the spot, unable to move her feet!Rita slipped into a whirlpool of thoughts while on the dangerous brink of death.I’m still so young. I don’t want to die yet! Who wants to kill me?!Just when a strong feeling of despair surged in Rita’s heart, she felt someone gripping her waist tightly, and she was soon lifted into the air!The motorcycle shuttled past her with a gust of wind that messed up her hair.But the sound of the engine gradually faded away.And when Rita discovered that there was no pain in her body, she finally realized that the motorcycle didn’t hit her!She didn’t die!After the near-death experience, Rita immediately opened her eyes, only to see a handsome face in front of her.Even after William put her down on the ground, Rita still couldn’t recover from the shock and snap out of her trance.“Rita! Are you alright?” Ce
Look of horror
Rita wasn’t a petty girl who would throw a fit over a trivial matter.After hearing Celia’s persuasion, the trace of dissatisfaction on her face vanished, and she humphed at William. “Hmph, I won’t bother holding it against you on Celia’s account. But since you’re clearly close to Celia, you must treat her well in the future. Otherwise, I won’t spare you!”Then she waved her clenched fist at William.William looked at Rita speechlessly.Although Rita had a hostile attitude toward him, she had indeed stood out to protect Celia without hesitation when she thought that Celia was in danger just now.She even repeatedly tried to stop him from taking Celia away, showing that she truly considered Celia her best friend and truly cared about her safety.So William wouldn’t hold it against Rita even if it was for the sake that she was nice to Celia.It was getting late, and he decided to send Rita home together with Celia.It happened that Rita lived in a villa near William’s apartment.William
Introduction gone wrong
As soon as William walked out, a slender figure suddenly leaped into William’s arms and hugged his waist tightly.With a trace of shock, William gaped a little, dumbfounded for a moment.He never expected Celia to leap into his embrace and hug him tightly in front of everyone!After being dumbfounded for a while, William finally snapped back to his senses.He reached his hands out and gently put them around Celia’s waist while patting her back comfortingly.Fortunately, Juarez had already left Starshine by this time.Otherwise, he would have definitely felt that something was amiss if he saw Celia jumping into the arms of this masked man.He would then discover that the masked man was William, his former son-in-law.On the other hand, after Rita saw what Celia was doing, she was even more certain that Celia’s relationship with him was extraordinary, unlike what she had thought previously.Is this masked young man her ex-husband she mentioned to me before?The people around were still
