Chapter 182 Smash It for You!
And this power, placed in any city, would be enough to destroy the city's economy.
Even the eight major families of Imperial City would collapse instantly under such power.
At the same time, far away at Cloud Peak Manor, Jessica also received the news.
"William has mobilized all the family's forces in Lindwood City," Zoe said respectfully.
Jessica stepped out of a bathtub filled with rose petals, her body glistening and voluptuous to the extreme. She put on a prepared bathrobe, her beautiful brows furrowed tightly, and asked, "Why?"
"Apparently, William lost something," Zoe replied
Her gaze lowered, not daring to look directly at Jessica.
Jessica's body was not something a servant like her could look at.
"What is it?"
Jessica walked to the wine rack and poured a glass of whiskey. She crossed her arms and asked with interest.
"It's something Aurora left for William," Zoe replied.
Jessica's expression changed slightly, a faint cold smile appeared on her lips. She took a sip of whiskey, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Has it been found?"
Zoe shook her head.
Meanwhile, in the Golden Age Group's board office, William stood coldly by the window, overlooking the city's nightscape.
George hurriedly walked in with a cane and said urgently, "Mr. Jones, it's been found!"
William finally breathed a sigh of relief, but his anger had not subsided.
"Where is it?" William turned around, his eyes full of anger.
As George saw William like this, he trembled inside, stammering for a long time before saying, "Mr. Jones, this matter might not be easy to handle."
William raised an eyebrow and sneered. "Is there something I can't handle?"
George was also very nervous, slowly replying, "The one who took it is your mother-in-law, Margaret."
Margaret?
When William heard this name, he was momentarily stunned. How could it be her?
But moments later, William's chest was filled with anger.
Even if it was Margaret, she couldn't touch that bracelet.
That mean mother-in-law had no right.
It was a desecration of his mother Aurora.
Upon seeing William's cold expression, George nervously asked, "How do you plan to handle this? Reveal your identity directly?"
William shook his head and said coldly, "No, I'll handle it myself."
With that, he quickly left the board office, took a cab, and headed straight to the Smith Family's old house.
He had endured three years of humiliation in the Smith Family, spat on by everyone for three years, and William had tolerated it all.
But today, upon learning that Aurora's bracelet was taken by Margaret, William's anger could not be contained.
This unreasonable and shrewish Margaret was constantly challenging his limits.
Fine, today he would show her his methods and make her quiet down for a while.
Upon arriving at the Smith Family's old house, William didn't bother to knock. He kicked the door open directly.
Inside, Margaret was with a skinny man, examining the bracelet on the table.
"How much is it worth?"
Margaret was full of joy and nervousness. Tyler had said this thing was worth a lot of money, and she was about to sell it.
The man was Peter, a small shop owner. Margaret had found him from a jewelry store on the street. While he was examining the bracelet, his eyes flashed with surprise and excitement.
He recognized that this bracelet was a masterpiece.
It was the bracelet that had caused a nationwide sensation over a decade ago.
It was originally a pair, one had already been auctioned off, and the other had never appeared in public.
How could such a masterpiece appear here?
Peter was puzzled but he had an idea. He nodded but then shook his head, saying, "This is a good piece, but it's not worth much. It's a replica. How about this, I'll give you a hundred thousand for it."
Peter knew that this bracelet, if put on the market, would start at a billion.
"What, only a hundred thousand?"
When heard the price, Margaret immediately snatched the bracelet back, shaking her head vigorously. "No way, my husband said it is worth at least hundreds of thousands. You're trying to cheat me."
Peter quickly explained, "I came all the way here, no need to cheat you. It is just a replica, only worth a hundred thousand. If you don't believe me, you can ask someone else. If anyone offers more than me, I'll pay double what they offer."
With that, Peter pretended to get up and leave.
Peter was the top player in this field. No one could outbid him.
So, this deal was a sure win.
As Margaret saw Peter about to leave, she got anxious and quickly grabbed him, saying, "A bit higher, ten thousand is too little."
Peter's lips curled into a smug smile. He sat back down, took another look, and said, "Alright, you seem like an honest person. I'll offer fifteen thousand. If that's okay, I'll go get the money right now."
Margaret instinctively wanted to refuse, but then she remembered that this was the actual value of the item, she hesitated.
Peter wasn't in a hurry, leisurely sipping some water.
"Well, this is your only chance," Peter tempted.
Margaret gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, fifteen thousand."
Peter was overjoyed. To buy this bracelet, which was worth hundreds of millions, for only fifteen thousand was a stroke of luck that would make him rich!
Suddenly, the door was violently kicked open, and both people inside were stunned, extremely nervous.
Margaret quickly snatched the bracelet from Peter's hand, fearing it was a robber outside.
When she saw who it was, she became furious, pointing at William, who walked in with a cold face, and shouted, "Are you crazy? Who told you to kick the door? Why are you back? Didn't I say you're never allowed in my house? Get out!"
William's temper was getting worse, and now he even dared to kick the door.
Peter was also startled. Upon seeing the man, he muttered a few words to himself and asked, "Who is this? Do you want me to throw him out?"
Margaret said viciously, "He's my son-in-law, a useless one. Ignore him."
Peter suddenly understood, a mocking smile appearing on his lips, "So he's the useless one. I thought he was someone important."
With that, the two were about to leave.
But William, full of cold anger, blocked the doorway, his eyes red, flames of fury dancing in his pupils. He stared at the bracelet on Margaret's wrist and said in a deep voice, "Take it off!"
His eyes flashed with uncontrollable rage, like an enraged beast.
Margaret was immediately frightened by William's voice, so low, like a beast's growl.
"Are you crazy? What are you talking about? I don't know, get out of the way!"
Margaret immediately understood what William was referring to, but she hid her hand behind her back and pushed William away,, cursing, "Get out! Don't disturb my business."
Peter also mocked a few words and was about to leave.
But William kicked him in the stomach, sending him flying into the room. Peter landed heavily on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
Margaret screamed in fear, rushing over to help, "Peter, are you okay?"
"William, what are you doing? Are you crazy? Always causing trouble for me!"
Margaret turned her head and glared viciously at William. She got up and was about to slap him.
But William struck first.
He slapped Margaret hard across the face, the sound like a firecracker.
"Help, my son-in-law is hitting me, someone help, save me."
Margaret was knocked to the ground. She held her face, wailing like a banshee. There was blood at the corner of her mouth.
Then, she glared at William and cursed, "William, you're crazy, you must be crazy. I'm your mother-in-law, and you dare to hit me. I'll make Mary see how you treat me today. I want you two to divorce. I'll expose you online and call the police to arrest you."
With that, Margaret took out her phone and called Mary, slapping her thigh and crying, "Mary, come back quickly, William is going to kill me."
Mary was working overtime at the company when she got Margaret's call, her head immediately aching.
Another problem.
"Okay, okay, I'll be right back."
Mary sighed, grabbed her coat, and hurried back to the old house.
Meanwhile, William was in a calm demeanor. He stared coldly at Margaret, who was sitting on the ground crying, and said, "I'll say it again, take it off."
He walked towards Margaret, step by step, with a chilling aura emanating from his body.
The anger in his eyes burned hotter than a furnace.
Margaret was terrified. She had only bullied honest people before, never expecting William to act so out of character today, daring to hit her.
He was too arrogant and absolutely lawless.
If she didn't deal with him today, how could she continue to boss this useless William around?
In a fit of rage, Margaret yanked off the bracelet and was about to smash it against the wall. She cursed, "Take it! Isn't this what you want? I'll smash it, and neither of uswill get it."
