Chapter 36: The Self–Absorbed Felicity
One of the armed men approached William and stood, towering over him.
“So it was you who dares to disrespect the young miss?” He asked coarsely.
“Yes. That’s him, he even broke my hand Marcus was filled with bitterness as he yelled from behind.
He had never been humiliated this way in his life before and now, he wanted to see William pay for his actions.
“Your hand will hurt if you continue to speak louder,” William said with a sly
smile.
“You! How dare you?” Marcus couldn’t stand being mocked but he didn’t have the guts to attack William.
This man had defeated him without lifting a finger but some of the best fighters of the Mellon Family were here now so he wouldn’t dare to be arrogant.
“You’re as brazen as they said,” the leader of the group said, “As much as I want to punish you right now, the head of our family wants us to bring you to him for judgment”
“I guess Anderson doesn’t act recklessly like his daughter” William nodded in admiration.
The faces of the men turned pale in surprise and he Anderson?”
- “You know Mr.
Not everyone would mention the name of the head of the Anderson that way, knowing how ruthless he was with his decision.
“Of course, we talked last night”
“How dare you say nonsense?” Marcus boiled with rage, “Let me tell you, the head of our family wants to watch you die that’s why he asked us to bring you”
“If Anderson asked you to bring me, then that’s no problem. Who is driving?” William didn’t think it was necessary to have a conflict with the Mellon because of Anderson’s self–absorbed daughter.
Anderson was a good friend of Grey and also respected him last night so he

could be considered an ally.
Marcus laughed mockingly, “Now you don’t dare to be arrogant because you have heard Mr. Anderson’s name. Don’t even think of begging him”
“Let us make a bet. If Anderson begs me, I’ll break your other hand,” Marcus didn’t learn his lesson so it was essential to give him another one.
“Audacious! You must be crazy in the head. Why will Mr. Anderson beg you? When you beg Mr. Anderson today, I’ll ask him to let me break your hands first”
This man was something to think he could use Mr. Anderson’s name anyhow.
Marcus wanted to get his revenge for the humiliation.
“So….you agree to it?” William raised his brows slightly.
Marcus puffed his chest up in agreement. “Hurry up and let us leave with him”
William was put into one of the Maybachs and they left.
Since he didn’t resist them, there was no need to use force on him.
They arrived at the Mellon Manor and William was brought into the living room where Felicity was seated with an angered expression plastered on her face.
Her face brightened the moment she saw the armed men bringing her enemy
- in.
“You!” She jumped from her chair and puffed her chest arrogantly, “Didn’t I tell you not to think of offending my family?”
She knew that her father would handle the situation for her so she went directly to him.
Felicity added lies to her claim knowing that her father won’t do anything if she was in the wrong.
William casually walked over and had his seat opposite her. “Why did you run away the other time?”
Her face flushed in embarrassment.

She had indeed get back up because her protector was defeated.
“How dare you sit there? Get up now, do you think you’re worthy of sitting
there?” Marcus attacked William’s words and still didn’t dare to approach him.
Felicity was also pissed by William’s audacity and raised her head to the armed group. “Hey, will you just stand there? Make him kneel before me and beg”
She crossed her arms with a proud smile at the corner of her lips.
The leader of the group had a complicated look on his face and stammered, ” Your Father asked us to bring him here”
“Are you trying to disobey Ms. Mellon? You must want to suffer the same fate
as this loser” Marcus said to them.
Earlier, he failed to protect the young miss so he needed to do whatever it took
to win her trust.
The men had no choice and together they moved at William but just then, a loud voice came from the hallway.
“What is all this unpleasant noise in my house?”
Mr. Anderson appeared out of the hallway in a business suit and entered into the living.
Just when he opened his mouth to speak, he noticed William seated comfortably on the couch.
“Mr. Miller…?” His eyes widened in surprise.
He quickly turned around to the maid in the room and commanded, “Quick, make our best tea for Mr. Miller”
She was stunned at first because she thought William was a criminal brought
over.
“What are you waiting for?” He almost roared.
She apologized and hurried away as fast as her legs could carry.
No one could understand what was going on at that moment.
Was William acquitted with the head of the Mellons?
“Mr. Miller, I didn’t think you would be visiting me in person” Mr. Anderson bowed respectfully.

Felicity could no longer sit and watch what was going on.
She exploded. “Father, what are you doing? This is the man I want you to deal with”
“Huh?” Mr. Anderson’s face turned pale in fright and he turned his head to his daughter. “What are you talking about?”
“He is the one. Father, make him apologize to me now” She pouted like a wronged child.
“Why would Mr. Miller apologize to you?” Mr. Anderson frowns slightly, yet to get a grasp of the situation.
“Sir, we brought the man” The leader of the group quickly approached Anderson.
His eyes dimmed at the realization and he looked at William who was still sitting down.
