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
Walking out in triumph
Initially, they thought that William managed to make the dice pierce through Benedict’s wrist only because he was skillful and got lucky.But none of them dared to think so now!This young man was actually keeping a straight face even after killing Rowan!He wasn’t afraid to kill someone at all! As long as he was willing, he could casually kill all of them with the cup of dice on the table!With this thought in mind, they could no longer maintain a steady gait as their legs turned into jelly.They dropped onto their knees, kneeling in front of William and begging him for mercy.“Sir, I have no objections! From today onward, you are our boss. We are willing to listen to whatever you say!”“Yes! Me too! I pledge allegiance to you, and I’ll do whatever you tell me to do without question!”William didn’t pay attention to them and instead said to Lucian, “I’ll leave it to you to handle everything here.”With these words, he once again affirmed Lucian’s position as the new helmsman of Stars
The power of dice
Lucian stood up, walked to William’s side, and looked down, as if he had already become William’s underling.Others might think he keeled over easily but only he knew what he had seen the moment William stepped into this private room.William glanced at the people in the corner before saying calmly, “As I said before, whoever has the guts to kill Benedict Zander will become the new owner of Starshine. From now on, you will be in charge of Starshine!”Lucian was instantly on cloud nine. William’s words not only meant that he would officially become the person in charge of Starshine from today, but they also meant that William had accepted him as his subordinate!Lucian had always been a clear-headed person who was good at analyzing the pros and cons of every matter.He was certain that as long as he was subordinate to William, his future achievements would be far beyond Starshine!On the other hand, among the people standing at the corner, some didn’t agree with William and simply snee
