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
Love rivals
“Okay, just you wait and see!” In the end, Joel could only say these words before leaving Cecilia’s birthday party in disgrace.But before he left, Joel glowered at William with a resentful and threatening gaze.He blamed William for all the humiliation he suffered today.William narrowed his eyes.He didn’t have anything to do with the Wallaces currently, but if Joel insisted on courting death and creating trouble for him, he wouldn’t be kind to them.After the annoying Joel and Kobe both left, Cecilia sighed in relief and then puffed her cheeks at William.She said apologetically, “I’m really sorry for causing you trouble today, William.”The reason she had asked William to be her shield was that she had gotten sick of Joel pestering her.So in a moment of anger, she had blurted out that she had a crush on someone.Furthermore, the only male present she had a good impression of was William, so she had asked him to be her shield.But Cecilia hadn’t expected things to turn out this wa
Kicked out unceremoniously
For some time, the air was full of commotion and mockery.Cecilia was now donning the set of emerald jewelry that William gave her, so it was obviously genuine.Kobe was just trying to lay a trap for William, but he didn’t expect to end up harming himself instead.With a look of annoyance, Kobe wanted to continue arguing, but Lucas interjected from the side.“Kobe Preston, Mr. Belmont personally picked out this set of emerald jewelry in the Emerald Garden. As the proprietor of the Emerald Garden, I can guarantee that it’s definitely not counterfeit. If you insist on claiming that the jewelry is counterfeit, you’re no longer just accusing Mr. Belmont but accusing our Emerald Garden of selling counterfeit products. Is that what you mean?”He glared at Kobe hostilely with a mirthless smile.At this moment, many people suddenly came to the realization that the Clements were the owners of the Emerald Garden.Lucas was the one who vouched for William, and he was clearly on good terms with h
A sore loser
Cecilia looked at the beautiful set of emerald jewelry with fondness and joy written all over her face.She then removed the diamond necklace, bracelets, and earrings she was wearing before excitedly putting on the emerald jewelry William had given her.But it wasn’t very convenient for her to put on the necklace herself, so she looked at William with great anticipation and asked, “William, can you help me put this necklace on?”Slightly stunned to hear this, William smiled and said, “Of course.”He picked up the exquisite emerald necklace, placed it across Cecilia’s slender and fair neck, and quickly fastened both ends of the necklace.Cecilia turned around and smiled at William radiantly.Upon seeing this scene, Joel gritted his teeth, filled with jealousy.Donning the full set of emerald jewelry and the ombré-colored starry dress that already made her look like a fairy in the first place, Cecilia exuded an ethereal aura.As green light glimmered with every movement of hers, she loo
Making a bet
Amid the uproar and commotion, Kobe looked at William sneeringly and said condescendingly, “Based on how shabby you look, I bet you can’t afford any decent gift, let alone one comparable to Joel’s! If you can present a gift more expensive than Joel’s diamond ring, I’ll kneel on the ground and lick your shoes!“Likewise, if you can’t, then you will kneel on the ground to lick my, no, Joel’s shoes. How about that? Hahaha!” Kobe guffawed arrogantly.“What did you say?!” Cecilia flew into a rage and was just about to lose her temper when William suddenly reached out to stop her.He looked at Kobe and drawled, “That’s what you said. If my gift is more expensive than Joel’s, you’ll get on your knees and lick my shoes, huh?”With a contemptuous smile on his face, Kobe said, “That’s right. That’s what I said! But if your gift is worse than Joel’s, you will kneel in front of Joel and lick his shoes!”They didn’t keep their volumes down, and the people around them could hear their conversation
