It was truly a low blow, one that had been debunked just because Wilbur trusted in Timothy's righteousness. A moment later, Wilbur said, "Alright. It'll be as you said, then. Faye, there's no need to go any further with what you're doing anymore." Wilbur also understood that it had been none other than Faye who caused Yvonne's downfall. He was disappointed in the Willows, but he still cared about Chelsea to an extent. After all, Chelsea had been the only one who truly cared about Wilbur in the past three years. He could not really bear to let the Willows go down like that. Faye nodded silently but could not help showing the icy smirk on her lips. Yvonne got to her feet at once, bowing deeply to Wilbur and Faye to show her gratitude. That was the best thing that could have come out of this, and Yvonne was satisfied enough with that. Faye said, "The door's over there. You can leave now." Yvonne nodded silently at those words, making her exit without saying anything else
Wilbur hardly reacted to the voice. "Thanks for the warning, but I quite enjoy being alive." "You took my company and almost sent me to jail. One of us is going down. Just wait," the voice responded viciously. Wilbur chuckled. "Well, I won't fight your bravado, then. Show me whatever you've got." Upon that, he hung up the call at once. Back when he had been in the army, he was accustomed to being threatened at gunpoint by some of the world's most elite fighters. A call like this was nothing to him. This kind of threat was far too hollow. Faye could tell something was off, so she asked, "What happened?" "Oh, it's nothing. I think Blake's been let out of jail," Wilbur said calmly. Faye's expression seemed to grow solemn. "Did he threaten you?" "Well, there's nothing he can really threaten me with. Don't you worry," Wilbur said. Faye gave it some thought, then nodded silently. With how powerful Wilbur was, Blake was honestly not much of a threat. A moment later, Faye
Jose bowed hurriedly. "It's thanks to your healing, Sir. I'm mostly healed now." Wilbur appraised Jose briefly. Jose felt like Wilbur was staring right through him. Wilbur nodded. "Not bad. You're about eighty percent there. You'll be completely fine with just a few days of rest." "It's all thanks to your spiritual energy, Sir, that I'm no longer in danger. Please tell me if there's anything you need." Jose bowed once again. Just then, Faye emerged from her room as well. She walked downstairs, heading out for work. Wilbur saw her and said, "Oh, perfect. You can be Miss Yves' driver and bodyguard in the meantime." "I'll be sure to do my best. I won't let you down, Sir." Jose was delighted to receive a task that made use of him so soon. To be honest, Wilbur had been planning to accompany Faye to and from work himself these few days in light of Blake's threat. However, with Jose being mostly healed, having him protect Faye was a pretty good choice. Jose himself was an ex
Nancy refused to back down either, and roared back, "Sure! Fire me then! I don't care!" "Get the f*ck out of here right now! That'll show you!" The man's humiliation turned into rage, and he shouted at Nancy. The other staff members on the floor turned to look at the outburst, but none of them dared to say anything. Just then, Wilbur finally returned to his senses to say, "Dude, could you watch that tone of yours a little?" The man turned to look at Wilbur. "Who the hell are you? Stay out of my business." "And who are you?" Wilbur retaliated. "I'm not going to just stand and watch you bully my classmate." The man barked out a laugh. "Norman Cedar, general manager of this shop. I can fire her if I want to! What are you going to do about it?" It was obvious that Norman did not think much of this classmate of his. To him, there was only so much the classmate of a retail worker could be capable of. Wilbur did not respond to him. Instead, he turned to look at Nancy and asked
Nancy's colleagues were in shock as well. Why did Nancy’s classmate make such a boastful claim? That was quite a big deal to just joke about, and he should not have said that just because he was interested in Nancy. Norman laughed even louder, with tears practically coming out of his eyes. He pointed at Wilbur. "Oh my god. You really will just say anything. I really don't know how you got the nerves to talk like this. I really don't!" Yet Wilbur merely smiled in the face of Norman's mocking. "And what if I really do it?" "I'll get on my knees and lick the bottom of your shoes if you do! Hmph!" Norman said, unimpressed. Wilbur laughed, looking at Nancy and her classmates. "You heard it for yourselves. He just said that!" The classmates looked at each other, unsure why Wilbur was acting so crazy all of a sudden. Nancy pulled Wilbur to the side at once. "That's enough! Stop this. I'll pack up my stuff now and we'll get going." Yet Wilbur said, "Don't worry. Let me make a c
Wilbur sat down leisurely as well. He even lit a cigarette. Norman's expression darkened. "Hey, you can't smoke in here! Are you really looking to be thrown off the second floor?" "I'd like to see you try and do that." Wilbur hardly paid him any mind. Norman scoffed, shouting for security at once. Nancy panicked at the sight. "Wilbur, forget it. Let's go." Nancy was afraid that this might cause a commotion and end in a mess. However, just then, Chelsea was seen hurrying over to their location. Norman's chest lurched at the sight. Did this man really know Chelsea? Norman was still doubtful of the fact that someone like Wilbur would be acquainted with Chelsea. Maybe she was just walking around the mall. Thus, he got to his feet and walked up to Chelsea respectfully. "Miss Willow! What brings you here?" Chelsea paid him no mind, making a beeline to Wilbur. "What's the matter, Wilbur?" The familiarity left Norman in a daze. When was Chelsea Willow acquainted with Wilbur
The guards were at a loss and froze where they stood. Chelsea saw that and said coldly, "Get moving! Are you trying to get fired too?" The guards snapped out of their daze at once, then turned to look at Norman. "Come on. Miss Willow's orders." Norman knew that there was no saving the situation anymore, so he glared at Chelsea. "You're going to pay for this!" He looked murderously at Wilbur one last time before turning to leave. Wilbur's expression darkened. "Stop." Norman turned around, looking at Wilbur. "I'm already leaving my job. What else do you want?" "Didn't you say that you were going to lick the bottom of my shoe earlier?" Wilbur lifted a foot, shaking his shoes. Norman's expression turned sour at once. "I'm warning you. Don't go too far!" "Going too far?" Wilbur asked, then continued, "Don't you think that harassing Nancy and the other workers here was going too far as well?" "You…" Norman was at a loss for words. His face turned scarlet as he stood there
Chelsea smiled bitterly. "There isn't much of a difference between Miss Yves doing something and you doing something." Wilbur did not know what to say, as the words were true to an extent. Chelsea noticed Wilbur's silence and smiled. "I don't blame either of you in the slightest. They deserved everything that happened to them." Wilbur remained silent. He could not bring himself to insult the Willow family right in front of Chelsea. Just then, Chelsea said, "Wilbur, I called you here to ask you something. What's going to happen to Willow Corp?" Wilbur looked at Chelsea, whose expression seemed resigned to what had happened to the Willows. He let out a sigh, then got straight to the point. "That depends on what you want. If you want Willow Corp to remain under the Willow family name, I'll have Faye return all the shares to your name. That way, you'll have better control over the company. Cape International will cover all the bank debts, too." Chelsea lit up. "You're the bes
