Stacy quickly stopped and sat back in her car
At that moment, William was carrying Celeste out of the complex.
Celeste was unconscious, lying limp in his arms. Her face, which was usually tough and guarded, now looked soft and pretty.
She looked just like she did six years ago.
Back then, she was submissive and obeyed him. But now. William couldn’t stand thinking about how she had been defiant and mocking. The faint flicker of remorse he had delt was now completely extinguished.
“Open the door,” William endered sharply.
The bodyguards then quickly opened the rear car door.

After the kick, William fell to the ground in pain and struggled to breathe.
It was Julian

When Julian finally arrived, he was shocked by what he saw–celeste, unconscious and bring carried away,
Julian’s anger bolled over.
It felt like something very valuable had been taken from him, and his eyes turned cold as he stared at William, filled with tury.
“Mr. Prescott!” One of William’s bodyguards tried to step in and protect him. But before he could, Marcus grabbed his collar from behind and said, “You might want to backoff. You’re no match for him.”
However, the bodyguard in black acted fast and threw a punch at him.
Unfortunately for him, Marcus was ready and easily dodged the punch. Then, he grabbed the bodyguard’s arm, and pulled him down hard.
The bodyguard then lost his balance and fell forward.
With a wicked smile, Marcus lacked the bodyguard hard in the stomach
The bodyguard screamed in pain and fell to the ground, curled up in agony.
“Is this the best you’ve got?” Marcus said with a smirk. He clapped his hands and shook his head, clearly unimpressed.
William was still in pain when he saw Celeste being taken out of the car.
After checking on her, Julian was relieved to see that she was just unconscious
But still, he was very angry,
How could William touch his person?
Julian’s demeanor was icy as he carried celeste over to where William lay

vas struggling to breathe, and his mind was filled with tear.
William fer a race sense of pressure from Julian, and it was something that he didn’t often experience. The only other time he felt this way was when he’d met Julian by the restaurant’s private room door.
Who was this man? How did Celeste know someone like him? And why was he with Marcus?
As William struggled with these questions, Marcus approached with a lighthearted bounce in his step,
Upon seeing Julian protectively carrying Celeste, Marcus looked at William in pity.
Did William actually dare to touch Celeste? He had to be tempting fate.
“Which hand did you use to touch her?” pilian’s voice was cold and threatening
William tiled to get up, his face filled withanger. “Who the hell are you?”
Julien stared at him hard. “I’m asking you, which hand you touched her with.”
William’s face darkened, “What does it matter to you? just give her back.”
Julian’s expression grew even colder. “Not telling me? Then neither of your hands get to stay

“Got it. You get Ms. Hart to the car. I’ll take care of this,” Marcus replied. He then eagerly rolled up his sleeves and looked at William, ready for action.
William was shocked and confused.
“Brother
Marcus had actually called him “brother“!
The only person Marcus would call “brother” was Julian Ford, the CEO of Ford Corporation!
Julian Ford was the top, most impressive young figure in Dansburg.
William’s heart dropped, and he started sweating. He looked at Marcus, clearly confused and scared, trying to find the right words but unable to ask anything.
Marcus, noticing William’s fear, gave him a sneer. “William, are you just unlucky or really stupid? I told you clearly that I wouldn’t work with you, but you still went after the wrong person
“Now that my brother is angry, you’d better be ready for whatever comes next. It’s all on you.”
With that, Marcus rolled up his sleeves and got to work-
His skills, honed under Julian’s guidance from a young age, were precise and ruthless.
Now, William was trapped in a nightmare of his own making.

However, Julian didn’t even lookup and simply said, “Drive”
