The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Proposing a showdown
“What is the meaning of this, Victoria?” Charlotte asked with a frown. Victoria replied calmly. “I doubt that's any of your concern, mother. Anyways, I’ve already found a good fit for the project, and it’s Mr. William!”“What?!” Everyone exclaimed in shock when she announced that.“You’ve got to be kidding me, Victoria! Is he even qualified to serve as chief physician for this backwater hospital?” Charlotte asked, voicing her displeasure.“William’s medical skills are top of the line, and he knows the ins and outs of medicine. I believe he is the best suited for the project!” Victoria responded. “W–what kind of nonsense are you talking about?!” Charlotte hollered, obviously agitated by her response.Suddenly, William remarked. “Ma'am, it would be best for you to calm down and reduce your voice. This is a hospital after all.”“So you’re the pretty boy who keeps clinging on to Victoria like a leech?” Clinton sneered after looking William up and down.His gaze was full of disdain towar
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Playing with poison
“Don’t fall for his tricks, William! He’s obviously doing this just to back you into a corner,” Victoria warned in a low whisper.If they settled on a competition to battle out their medical skills, then William would stand a pretty good chance of winning.But if they opted to go with a poison–conocting competition with a master of poison instead, then it was like they were begging to be killed!“I’m giving you one more chance to back out of this, peasant. If you admit defeat now, you’ll be giving up the chance to work with the Smith family!” Clinton spat.“Aren’t we just dabbling with some poison? Fine, It’s on,” William proclaimed. He was not the least bit afraid.“Ha, you asked for it!” Clinton let out a maniacal laugh as he gazed at the soon–to–be–dead man in front of him.To think he had the gall to compete with a polson master at making polson. He certainly had a death wish!“Are you out of your mind? William? You could die,” Victoria said anxiously.She couldn't understand why
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Such a shame
“Ridiculous! Mr. Cole has been researching poisons for many years now, so how could he possibly lose? You’ll see how great he is later!” Clinton gave a bark of laughter.William merely let out a short chuckle and said nothing more in response.Soon enough, Mr. Come arrived and immediately began concocting his poison.His movements were so fast that it was enough to make one’s head spin.In the meantime, William took his time with it and did everything at his own pace.After a long while, Mr. Cole had finished concocting his polson, which appeared to be a bottle of viscous, purple liquid.One could even smell a faint scent of dead rats wafting out of it.“I’m done with my poison. Dare to take it?” Clinton taunted as he placed the bottle on the table and provocatively glared at him.Anyone with a discerning eye could definitely see that the purple potion in front of them was highly poisonous.This meant that anyone who ingested it would surely be in danger!Victoria couldn’t help but ba
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Piss, my good man, good old piss
“Oh, nothing much. Just some golden juice,” William said flatly.The moment he revealed it, Mr. Cole’s face contorted with shock.Even Charlotte, who had been sitting at the side all this while, raised an eyebrow upon hearing that.“What the hell do you mean by golden juice?” Clinton asked, barely preventing himself from gagging as William replied.“Piss, my good man, good old piss.”As soon as Clinton heard this, he immediately started dry heaving next to William.But since the poison was already in his stomach, he couldn’t spit it out even if he wanted to, his face flushed red instead.Before this, the phrase ‘drink piss‘ had only been a suggestion, but he couldn’t believe that it had actually happened to him.“I didn’t expect William to be so heartless by forcing our cousin to drink piss. How is he going to eat anything else from now on?” Ruth commented as she covered her nose with her hands.She then started to move away from them with a look of disgust.“For all the shit he spews
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Returning the favor
As soon as the antidote landed in Clinton's stomach, he immediately felt better.However, after enduring the pain for a few seconds, he vomited all the white liquid out of his system.“What are you doing, Mr. Smith? You just threw up the antidote!” Mr. Cole exclaimed in surprise.“I couldn’t help it. I really couldn’t hold it in!” Clinton whined helplessly.“You could even stomach taking piss, so why can’t you do the same for the antidote?” Mr. Cole scolded, flabbergasted.“Cut the crap! Hurry up and prepare another dose, I’ll make sure to hold it in this time round,” Clinton shouted as his face twitched.Mr. Cole had no choice but to do as he was told.Soon, he’d finished whipping up another dose, and Clinton wasted no time ingesting it.This time, he managed to hold it in.“My stomach still hurts like hell, Mr. Cole. Why haven’t the effects kicked in yet?” Clinton complained with a strained look on his face.“It can’t be. Perhaps the effects of the antidote haven’t kicked in yet, so
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Always prepared
“Can you cut the act already? You didn’t say anything when Clinton was bullying William before, so why are you jumping to Clinton’s aid when he’s in a difficult situation now? Do you even have a shred of dignity left?” Victoria suddenly voiced out.“Why are you speaking for an outsider when Clinton is your own cousin?” Charlotte frowned.“I only speak for the truth, not blood relations!” Victoria proclaimed, righteously.“Clinton was the one who started this whole thing in the first place, so now he’s getting what he deserves. Since we’re outsiders in their competition, we should just sit and watch and not interfere!”“Why you-!” Charlotte growled, obviously angry at her daughter’s outburst.Although she let Victoria have her way outside, she really could not do anything about her in private.All of her nagging and lectures failed to get to her.She was such a thorn in her side!“This is the last time I’m going to ask, Belmont! Are you giving me the antidote or not?” Clinton demanded
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Noted
After Charlotte left, Victoria let out a sigh of relief while William moved to clean up the remnants of the poison competition that he had participated in with Mr. Cole.Victoria stared at him, watching him work with an infatuation that was almost too easy to make out.William noticed her gaze and asked. “Is there something on my face?”“Nope, just thinking about something.”“What's that?” William asked.Feeling embarrassed, Victoria changed the topic. “So, I guess you are going to be leading the project.”“I'd rather not,” William said.It wasn't that he wasn't a good leader neither was it because he doubted his capabilities.It was simply because he didn't enjoy it.He enjoyed staying on his own and doing things at his own pace.“Are you kidding?” Naturally, Victoria was displeased. “So why did you argue with my cousin and Mr. Cole?”“Because I couldn't just sit back and watch them humiliate you.”“Oh.” Victoria blushed.William pursed his lips, pondering if it was okay to say what
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates A little prank
After the call ended, William drove back to the hospital to give Victoria the things he'd bought before once again heading out, making a pitstop at a store to buy a mask before swiftly making his way to AutoNation to teach a certain washed-up actor a lesson.***On arrival at his destination, wearing a clear white mask with a simple aesthetic, William stepped down from the car and made his way to the entrance of AutoNation, exuding a mysterious vibe that caught the attention of those in his path.However, just as he was about to reach the doors, he heard a familiar voice talking behind causing him to pause.Furrowing his brows, he glanced in a certain direction only to discover Harold who was in the company of another woman.William couldn't be more amused at the sight as he wondered how Celia would feel knowing the man she wished to marry and was praising so highly was currently enjoying himself with another woman.Perhaps the saying, birds of the same feather flock together, was qui

An honest misunderstanding
“There is nothing else to look at here, let’s go.” Having obtained the precious jade, William was satisfied.“You don't desire anything else?” Cecilia pressed, unwilling to believe that there was a man on earth who would reject a chance to have anything in the world.Shockingly for her, William remained adamant. “Nothing else.”“I see.”“If you don't mind, I'd like to take my leave.”“Of course,” Cecilia said. “Let me escort you.”And so, the duo quickly left while Link couldn't help but grow more curious about the young man known as William Belmont.***After William ensured that Victoria and Zara got home safely once they'd left the exhibition, he left to meet with John at Lakeside Hotel.He joined him in the VIP section where food and drinks were laid out for them both, ready to be consumed. Quite exhausted, William took a seat and swiftly indulged in the spread with John also joining in.“So?” John began while chewing on a turkey leg.“I found it but it appears to have been damag
Finding the Fang
Uncle Link sneered at William and asked coldly, “If Mr. Belmont was convinced that this Prayer Bead was not the real deal, would you be so kind as to show us the real Dharma Artifacts?”“The real Dharma Artifact?”William glared at him and then said calmly, “The real Dharma Artifacts were things such as the Flying Sword and Dharma Treasures. One could use them to summon clouds and thunder among many other magical powers. This bead can only distract people when they lay the first sight on it. Other than that, it is practically useless,”Uncle Link laughed scornfully and then said, “Are you kidding me? Those are legends; they don’t exist in real life.“But the magical power of this Prayer Bead was real. You had it completely wrong.”“I think Mr. Belmont’s claim is exaggerated.” A mocking expression appeared on Uncle Link’s face.He was just one step away from calling the doctor a liar.“Is that so?” William was unfazed by the accusation.He pointed to deft fingers at the bead and sudden
Going through the Third Lord's collection
William chuckled upon hearing Cecilia's words. “I had no idea that I was interesting enough for a woman of your caliber to do such a deep dive.”“Well, you are,” Cecilia admitted. Aware that William was truly an enigma with much to offer, Cecilia knew for a fact that William was a person she had to befriend.After the two left the hall, they were greeted by an old man.“This is Uncle Link, my Grandpa's right-hand man. He is going to show us the items being put on auction before it starts.” Cecilia said with a smile.“Thank you for the introduction, Missy. This way, please.” The old man was dressed in a sleek and meticulously ironed suit.His tempered and composed demeanor resembled that of a butler from an English Household.” I have heard that Perry had offended our guest, that lad deserves the punishment. ”The old man talked as he led the way, all the while, he didn’t look at William even once.As the most trusted advisor of the Lancaster household, Uncle Link was one of if not the
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
