Never too late for revenge
Unable to tolerate it any longer, Tess slammed the glass in her hand onto the table and snapped, “William Belmont, are you deliberately messing with me? I toasted you with kind intentions, but you kept turning me down and refusing to reciprocate!”William’s face suddenly turned gloomy. “Hmph, kind intentions? You? Do you take me for a fool?”“What?”“You should know very well what’s in that glass of wine! Listen up. You’d better behave yourself, or else don’t blame me for being merciless if you really provoke me!”Then William tightened his grip on the teacup in his hand, causing the hard porcelain to shatter with a loud bang.By the time he let go, his hand was full of white powdered porcelain.There weren’t even any porcelain pieces.His move took everyone by storm!Crushing a teacup with bare hands wasn’t that surprising, as those who were strong could do so easily by applying some tricks.But it was extremely terrifying to be able to crush a teacup into powder!Tess subconsciously
False apology
Soon, the food they were waiting for arrived after which everyone began to dig in.“Oh wow, this stew is really nice,” William said.“It is?... Let me try it.” Victoria said with William obliging as he fed her some. Watching William and Victoria eat like a couple caused Douglas’s eyes to be full of anger.Douglas glowered at Tess, making her heart shudder as she recalled the plan they had devised.She picked up a glass of wine and walked to William. “William, I actually never liked you because I’ve always thought that you are just a leech who can’t give Victoria a happy life. But since she wants to be with you, I can’t say anything more. I’ve said some hostile things to you a few times today, so I’ll toast you to apologize for my rude behavior!”Tess, who had been glaring at William and blatantly insulting him unceremoniously just now, was surprisingly the first to toast him, and she even called it an apology for her behavior.She held the glass of wine in front of William, waiting f
Hidden intentions
“Damn it. Who do you think you are, you good-for-nothing?! How dare you talk like that in front of us?!”“How dare you say you won’t let us off easily? We just chose not to bother with you on account of Douglas! If you provoke us, I’ll get someone to come and break your legs right away!”“How damned ignorant! It’s your blessing that Douglas was kind enough to let you come in and join us here. Yet you’re still being so fussy and speaking to us so rudely. Are you tired of living?”All of a sudden, the scions in the room began lashing out at William, and a few exceptionally hot-tempered ones even stood up and rolled up their sleeves, feeling a strong urge to teach William a lesson.They were all Douglas’s friends and a gang of scoundrels, just like him.Before William and Victoria arrived, they had heard Tess badmouthing William and all the insults she said about him.Meanwhile, Douglas had also shown interest in Victoria in front of them, so they naturally loathed William and wanted to
Trying and failing to make a statement
Once Victoria had responded to his calls for her to wait, Douglas said, “Tonight, I’ve specially invited all my friends from top families. I was planning to introduce them to you and see if there’s a chance for you to cooperate with them. If you leave now, not only will you be letting my kind intentions go to waste, but it will be quite disrespectful to everyone here too.”“Douglas is right, Miss Smith. You’re actually leaving before we even get to speak to each other. That seems a little impolite of you, don’t you think?”“That’s right. We are all here for Douglas’s sake yet you suddenly want to leave even though we’ve agreed to meet you for dinner. Are you looking down on us?”Two people at the dining table stood up and chimed in.Although both of them acted like they were joking, there was an obvious sense of threat in their tone.In particular, they were all scions of wealthy and prestigious families and had absolute say and authority in their respective families.If Victoria insi
Dinner at Tiger Restaurant
Victoria had always overshadowed Tess in every way and it never sat right with her.In what ways was she lacking compared to Victoria?Yet, people always chose Victoria over her.Soon, that would change though.Soon, everyone would realize that she was better than Victoria in every way and if they wouldn't see it themselves, then she would force them to see it.***The next day after a most exciting celebration, Victoria and William spent most of the day together, indulging in each other's company.Naturally, Richard and Charlotte didn't dare to get in the way as they already owed William quite a lot. Anyways, the day quickly went by, and soon, it was evening, at which point, Victoria received a call from Tess. When she saw Tess’s name on her phone screen, she hesitated for a moment before answering.Tess’s sharp voice immediately sounded from the speaker of the phone. “Victoria, are you free?... Some of my friends and I are meeting up and I thought you'd be interested in attending.
End of an epic clash
Trevor narrowed his eyes. “Lord Dylan, are you really going to support the Smiths?”“That’s right! I’m definitely supporting them! If anyone has a problem with it, feel free to talk to me.” Dylan’s tone was domineering as he added. “You should already be thankful that I'm not coming to the Storms' doorstep to demand an explanation for what happened to my daughter. If not that the person responsible is already dead, I would have already done so!”The Smiths were ecstatic upon hearing his declaration, while Trevor’s expression turned unusually resentful. Even though he was upset, he could only give in for now.Dylan was a first–ranked official and controlled the army, Trevor couldn’t afford to offend him.However, he was confident he would overshadow Dylan in under five years.“Lord Dylan, since you have a higher rank, I’ll concede for now. However, the world is a small place, and things don’t always go as you want. We’ll meet again!” With a scoff, Trevor strutted out of the place with
