The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Two choices
Later that night in a private hospital in Avalon, Raymond stormed in with over a hundred of his best men, all dressed in black.The hospital staff and visitors trembled in fright, wondering who had earned the wrath of a member of the Sinister Six.Raymond was oddly absent of smiles, his entire expression icy cold, radiating outwardly what he felt within.When the doctor emerged from the ward, Raymond inquired. “How is he?”The doctor's face turned grave as he shook his head, replying. “I'm sorry, we did all we could but… it doesn't look good at all.”Raymond frowned. “What are you talking about?... Speak clearly!” “He's in a coma.” The doctor said carefully, casting a wary glance at Raymond as he was worried that he might lash out at him for failing to save Victor.However, surprisingly, Raymond showed neither rage nor murderous intent as he went silent, his expression completely unreadable.“Boss, we must get our revenge!”“Let us tear this punk into pieces for fearing to touch one

“Now was that so hard?” John asked Raymond as he relaxed back into his chair, his pleasant demeanor returning.After that, John's Mercedes Benz pulled away, leaving Raymond with his back drenched in cold sweat and his hands trembling. “Boss, are you alright?” One of his men asked worriedly.Raymond didn't even bother responding as he turned to his crew and declared. “Listen up!... From now on, we'll bury the hatchet with Mr. Belmont. Anyone who dared to provoke him will have to answer to me, too!... I'll wipe up their entire family!” “But what about Jacob's request?”“Screw Jacob and screw the Ladder family!... If they dare to show their face here, I won't hesitate to teach them a lesson they will never forget!” While Raymond was a member of the Sinister Six, he was not about to go against John who had enough wealth and connections to ensure that he would be done for good.Meanwhile, Jacob Ladder had just finished a meeting with a few board members of his father's company when he s
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Clinton's shot at revenge
Jacob had bandages wrapping his injured face.He felt a headache as he explained to Chloe who was clearly fuming, “I didn't leave you on purpose, Chloe. You saw how many people chased me, right?... They might have hurt you if I brought you with me. I was just trying to draw them out.”Chloe brushed off the mud in her hair and looked at the bandages Jacob with concern.Then she said, “Is that true?... Aw, I knew it. I was wrong to scold you, my dear. Are you still in pain?”Jacob groaned and replied. “Yes, I am.”Chloe remained furious as she asked. “Do you think the Great Devourer has gone insane?... Why did he tell his men to beat you without meeting you?”Jacob was just as conflicted as her. “There must be a misunderstanding. I'll investigate but please take me home first.”With no other choice, Chloe took Jacob home to get some rest with the latter deciding to no longer pursue the matter with William or Zara.He couldn't even touch Zara if he wanted considering the family she was a
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Soul Crusher
William pursed his lips as the nickname sounded familiar.According to what he knew, Soul Crusher was a man of barbarian cruelty, always paying for the blood of his next victim.Any offenders who fell into his hands could only pray for an outcome less than horrific.“Nice to meet you, Mr. Rick. I’ve heard a lot about you.”Despite the severity of the situation, William seemed relatively calm and breezy.“Great! Given that you’ve heard of my name, I assume you’re familiar with my habits. I recommend that you learn your place and cooperate. That is your only hope of leaving here alive!”The inspector lit a cigar, slid it between his teeth, and took a deep breath.“Mr. Rick, what do you need my cooperation for?” William asked with a calm voice.“You stole from a very important person, and the law can sentence you to prison. However, I am giving you the chance to straighten out the issue with the person. If we reach a mutual agreement, no charges will be pressed.”“You claim I defrauded a

“Quick… call someone! We have to go to the police station,” John instructed Duncan after which he coldly added, “That fat fuck Rick. If he dares touch a hair on William's head, I’ll skin him alive!”“Boss, shouldn’t you remain calm?” Duncan's lips twitched with irony.“To hell with calm!” John bellowed before adding. “What are you doing still lingering around? We have to get him out of there!”After slapping Duncan awake, John darted out the door.Deep in his heart, he prayed, “Rick, Rick, you fat motherfucker better not mess around! If you do, I swear I'll make you regret it!”As the chaos unfolded in the outside world, nothing but peace and calm hung in the air of the inspector’s office at the police station.“What’s the situation, Mr. Rick? Has the kid accepted yet?” asked Clinton's subordinate, Terrence as soon as he sat down.“It doesn’t matter whether he has or not. Any prisoner who falls into my hands is sure to give in eventually.”The fat inspector took another drag of his ci
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Out of my way!
“Sir, what’s wrong?” Terrence asked cautiously.“What’s wrong? Where did you get the guts to ask me that?” Rick slapped a palm onto the table. “Didn’t you say the arrogant asshole had no background? Mr. Stone just called to speak to me about the fellow! Does that sound like someone with no background to you? Are you deliberately trying to set me up, you motherfucker?!”Victoria Smith was already a handful.Now that John Stone was also in the picture, this was equivalent to stripping him down and tying him to a skewer over an open fire.“No way! There’s no way that he has relations with Mr. Stone! I–I really didn’t know about this,” Terrence stuttered as the color drained from his face.“Quick, call Clinton now. This situation is getting way out of hand. He’ll have to pay me more if he wants this matter settled smoothly,” Rick ordered.“Alright, alright. I will call Sir Clinton immediately!”Terrence did not hesitate as he dialed Clinton’s number.Over the phone, he briefly explained R
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Kill him!
All of them were dead in an instant, bleeding from their internal wounds.“Help, anybody! Please help!” Rick turned pale and whirled around to escape.William kicked the limp body of a man lying beside him.It flew like a bullet and crashed into Rick, who was attempting to escape.He screamed in pain and fell to the ground, unable to run any longer.“I warned you, didn't I?” William strolled up to him and hissed murderously, his eyes boring dangerously into Rick.“Bastard, don’t forget you’re in the police station! You can’t go too far!” Rick backed away on all fours.“Too far? What will you do about it?” William chuckled as he crushed Rick’s arm with his foot.The immense pain from his broken arm caused Rick to howl in agony.“Come back to your senses, you arrogant bastard! Accept the conditions so that you still have a chance to save yourself. If not, there will be no mercy!” Rick threatened with a grimace.Without a word, William kicked Rick in the stomach.Rick spurted out the con

Victoria alone was tough enough to handle.If John joined in the fray, things might get out of hand.“If I didn’t show up, would you listen to reason?” John retorted angrily.“Mister Stone, I informed you in the call last time. Give me some time so I can look into it. If there’s a mistake. I will let him go immediately.” Rick tried to wriggle his way out.“I have no time to waste yapping with you. Let my brother go this instant!” John ordered impatiently.The corrupted ways of the police inspector were well known.If they had waited for the investigation to end, William would have been dead and gone.“As an inspector, I must capture wanted criminals and protect the peace of the city. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with my actions,” Rick defended himself.“Rick, I’m giving you one last chance. I’m warning you; let him go immediately. If not, you shall die a painful death!” John coldly said.“Mister Stone, are you threatening me? Don’t you know the consequences of going against th

War of words
“Right. You didn’t expect me to ruin your fun, or you could’ve continued treating me like a fool.” William shook his head and sneered. “I was an idiot to think that you changed and even tried to accept you. It took me so long to realize that you’ve been toying with me this entire time I don’t get it. What did I ever do to you? Why would you do something like this to get even with me? Why won’t you let me go even though we’re divorced? Was it fun toying with my emotions? Will you never stop until you’ve completely humiliated me?”“Listen to me, William. I really like you. I never wanted to hurt you. Please believe me!” Celia sobbed.“You like me? Then what about him?” William pointed at Argrave. “I saw everything just now. Did you think that I’m blind?”“N-no. That was a misunderstanding.” Celia bit her lip“A misunderstanding? Are you telling me that he was about to rape you?” William’s face darkened instantly. “If you say yes, I’ll make sure to get rid of him!”Hearing that, Celia im
Taking advantage
“Let’s see how you’re going to escape tonight.” Argrave cackled, seeing Celia’s retreating figure. He lifted his glass and took a big gulp before following behind the two women.Inside the presidential suite, Ava helped Celia onto the bed and took off the younger woman’s shoes.She then went to grab a basin of warm water to wipe Celia down.“I feel horrible. I want some water.” Celia lay on the bed weakly, feeling parched.“Water won’t work. I’ll get you some milk. Wait here.” Ava made up an excuse and quickly left the room, bumping into Argrave straight away.“How’s Celia doing?”“She’s fine. Nothing a night’s sleep won’t fix.” Ava smiled.“Where are you heading?” Argrave asked again.“To get Celia some milk to ease her stomach ache.”“I see…” Argrave smiled knowingly. “No one sells milk nearby, so I’m afraid you’ll have to search further. You might have to come back later too.”“Are you sure? I’m pretty sure I saw a grocery store downstairs.” Ava smiled awkwardly.“Are you questioni
The last glass
“I’m curious, Mr. Cavendish. Why would you marry her? You could have just had fun without getting married. This doesn’t seem like something you’d do.” The blond man observed.“Don't worry about it, it's a personal affair of mine. Just know that at the end of it all, I will come out even greater than I am now.”His words caused a stir among the crowd, and they immediately began singing his praises.“As expected of Mr. Cavendish, he thinks so far ahead. How impressive!”“He has brains and brawn. He’s amazing!”“Once I finish with this little game, I will become the head of the Cavendishs!” Argrave declared confidently.Competition between Argrave and his brothers was fierce, as everyone wanted to become the head of the family.To win against them, he must have enough strength and power.“Then let us wish you a happy marriage in advance!” The blonde man led the group to offer Argrave a toast. Soon, laughter resonated through the room.8 pm at Lakeside Hotel.William had arrived earlier t
In a tight spot
“You have to pay the price for your mistakes. How can you think that you’ll be safe after killing someone?” Celia sighed.Although she loved her brother dearly, she could do nothing about his crime.“Sis, help me! I swear I’ll never do this again! I’ve learned my lesson, I swear!” Andre swore frantically. Unable to stand the thought of living out his life in prison.“Calm down, Andre. I’ll call one of my contacts right now. With their help, we should be able to get you out.”Panicked by the possibility of Andre spending his life behind bars, Ava quickly took out her phone and began to make calls with Celia doing the same.It didn't take long for the other members of the Rodriguez family to gather, along with Mrs. Rodriguez.“Mom, I don't know what to do,” Celia said in a panicked tone. “I've reached out to all my contacts but none of them can help out.”“Don't worry, there's a way to deal with this.”“What way?”“You recall Argrave Cavendish?”Celia's expression shifted as she nodded.
Hit and run
He walked over to the road junction and flagged a cab to send her home. It was obvious that he had been the truck’s target, and he didn’t want to drag her into this mess.At the entrance to the villa, Celia halted and spun around to ask, “Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?”“It’s fine. You should get some rest.” William politely refused as if he hadn’t understood what she was trying to say.“You idiot!” Celia humped, glaring at him before spinning around and going into the house.William waited until the doors closed to look away, his eyes now cold and ruthless. “John, help me look into the truck.”“On it. Give me three minutes.” John whipped out his phone and made a call.In less than three minutes, the results came in. “Done. It turns out the Grays put a bounty of up to ten million dollars on your head. Most of the bounty killers should have their eyes on you by now. That truck was one of their attempts.”“The Grays.” William narrowed his eyes, the air around him turning mu
Just friends
“Wait!” Celia instantly grabbed his arm. “What on earth is going through your mind? I told you that we’re just friends. Why won’t you believe me?”“Just friends, eh? Then you won’t mind going home with me right this instant!” William snapped.“But…” Celia frowned and glanced at William and Argrave, troubled.Although she didn’t have any feelings for Argrave, the man had helped her, so it wouldn’t be right to turn her back on him now.“What’s wrong? You don’t want to?” William sneered. “Is this what you call an ordinary friend? How am I supposed to believe you?”William couldn’t believe that Celia was still hesitating.It seemed that he was even less important than her ordinary friends, and here he thought that their relationship had been improving.It must have been his imagination.“Forget it, Ms. Rodriguez. You don’t have to think about it so hard. We’re nothing to each other now. Enjoy your meal. I’ll be taking my leave.” William shook his head and turned around.“Wait for me.” Joh
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
