An honored guest
Donald clearly stated his displeasure toward William.In his opinion, William managed to befriend the Khans entirely because he leveraged the power of the Lancasters.As long as he made it clear to the Khans what the Lancasters’ attitude toward William was, he believed that Zayn would draw a clear line with William immediately.He reckoned that Zayn would agree, especially since he had promised some benefits and extended an olive branch.Those wealthy families would eagerly agree immediately.“Mr. Lancaster, I’ve already told you that it’s impossible!” Zayn’s tone became cold and harsh, with extreme determination and some anger.“Regardless of what yours and the Lancasters’ attitude toward Mr. Belmont is, the Khans will never sever ties with Mr. Belmont!“Mr. Lancaster, if you called me today just to talk about this matter, then we don’t need to talk anymore. I still have something important to do, so I’ll hang up now. I’ll visit Mr. Lancaster Sr. another time.”With that, Zayn hung u
Making things clear to a fool
“Do you think I befriended the Khan family, the Smiths, and the others because of the Lancasters?” William suddenly asked.Donald frowned and asked rhetorically, “Isn’t it?”“It’s really true.” William raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly. “In that case, Mr. Lancaster, why don’t you call Mr. Khan and Mr. Smith to ask if they’re friends with me because of the Lancasters?!”He had a look of mockery on his face.He had long guessed it. Donald indeed thought that William had borrowed the Lancasters’ power to establish a relationship with the Khans and the Smiths. Just now, he even accused William of taking advantage of the Lancasters, which was simply hilarious.“Also, I hope that you won’t casually speculate on my intentions. I’m not interested in being your son-in-law, nor am I interested in the Lancasters’ assets. I only treat Cecilia as my younger sister.“As for my friendship with Mr. Lancaster Sr., this is a matter between us. You don’t seem to have any right to interfere, do you
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
