The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates

Sent flying with a single slap!

William offered no response, instead glancing at the item in the gift box before letting out a tired sigh.

“What?... Don't you agree?” Lucas said only to pause as he laid eyes on the ring in William's hand.

As a cultivator, he'd long since created his core, which allowed him to detect faint spiritual energy, and currently, the spiritual energy the jewelry was giving off was enough to help him create a second core.

Lucas didn't hesitate to try and grab it as he could immediately tell that it was a great treasure.

“That's a nice bracelet.” He said. “Maybe I should take it, it would be a nice gift for Celia. In truth, it's wasted on the likes of you.”

Just as he tried to take it, William grabbed his wrist. “Don't go too far.”

At this point, the workers in the house had begun to gather after hearing Lucas' voice.

“I don't know where you got that bracelet from but you are not leaving here with it. So unless you want to get beat up, you'd best hand it over.” Lucas warned.

William ignored his words and shoved his hand aside before attempting to leave again.

However, Lucas wasn't about to let that happen as he tried to take the bracelet again, this time utilizing his strength as a cultivator so that William wouldn't be able to stop him.

William dodged the attack and, without hesitation, slapped Lucas so hard that he was sent flying with his front teeth falling out.

Everyone watching was left shocked at William's ferocity.

“Ah, you bastard, you dared to hit me!... I'll kill you, I swear I'll kill you!” Lucas cried out even though he was missing a few teeth and his cheek had swollen while being as red as a tomato.

To think he would dare to still throw out threats while looking so pathetic.

A desire to hurt him some more welled up within William, but ultimately, he decided against it.

There was no reason to waste any more time on the bastard.

One way or another, he'd surely get what he deserved.

And so, snorting derisively, William pocketed the wedding ring along with the bracelet and left without looking back, leaving Lucas to continue hurling curses at his retreating.

Just then, Celia and Ava came downstairs after hearing the commotion only to see Lucas in a sorry state.

“Oh my gosh, Lucas!” Ava exclaimed as she rushed over to help him. “Who did this to you?”

“It's that bastard, William,” Lucas said. “We came across each other, and even though I just wanted to let him know that I meant no ill will after learning that Celia was divorcing him, he instead made it look like I was at fault and attacked me, saying that I would never have Celia as long as he was alive.”

Naturally, he was smart enough to twist the story to make it that William was the bad guy instead of him.

That way, Celia would surely despise William for being such a hothead.

Meanwhile, Celia struggled to believe that William would be so aggressive.

He had never gotten into any fights while they were married and was generally cool-headed, so what happened?

Or was she wrong about the divorce not affecting William as she expected?

Maybe he was furious but had hidden it well only to end up pouring his anger out on Lucas.

That made sense.

Thinking that Celia didn't believe him, Lucas decided to add more fuel to the fire. “He even stole from me, taking the present I planned to gift to you.”

“What?” Ava could hardly believe her ears.

“William robbed you?”

“Of course!” Lucas exclaimed. “It was a rare bracelet worth almost ten million dollars. I can't believe he would take it from me out of spite. I tried to stop him but he didn't listen.”

“Oh my goodness, Celia, that William is a brute, how can he do something so disgusting?... We have to get that bracelet back or else who knows what he might do?... I'm sure he took it because he plans to sell it so he can win his way up the ladder to be in our class.”

“That's exactly what he said.” Lucas quickly agreed with Ava's statement.

“You see?... Celia, we have to get that ring back.”

“But William is not that kind of person.” Celia still found it hard to believe that apart from attacking Lucas, William had robbed him as well.

It just didn't fit into the image she had of William.

“Are you saying I'm lying?” Lucas questioned, acting as though he'd taken offense. “Fine then, you can ask the maids, they saw everything.”

As he spoke, he didn't hesitate to send a knowing look in the direction of the maids.

Considering he had slept with most of them, they didn't hesitate to jump to his rescue.

“Yes young Miss, Mister Lucas is telling the truth. That man William is not good at all.”

Hearing the maid further helped Lucas to convince Celia that William was at fault.

This caused her demeanor to change because she didn't expect that William would do something so despicable.

“Celia, take Lucas upstairs so he can be attended to.”

“Alright then, but Celia, you have to make sure that bastard pays for this.”

“Don't worry, I know what to do.” Saying that Celia took out her cell in anger and dialed William’s number.
