Chapter 276 Teach You a Lesson Personally!
"Slap her!" Nicholas said coldly, his eyes reflecting a chilling light.
No one could slight the Jones family or their future heir.
Two burly bodyguards behind Nicholas stepped forward without hesitation. One of them directly dragged the struggling and screaming Margaret from behind Tyler, holding her firmly.
Margaret shouted, "What are you doing?! This is my house. If you dare touch me, I'll call the police immediately!"
Terrified, Margaret struggled constantly, kicking and flailing.
However, the other bodyguard swung his hand!
The crisp sound of a slap echoed through the entire villa hall.
Margaret stared wide-eyed, glared at Nicholas, and shouted, "You dare have someone hit me? Do you know where you are? This is an upscale residential area, the Eagle family's territory! This villa is mine, and I'll call the police to arrest you!"
Margaret screamed hysterically, her cheeks red and swollen.
Nicholas sat on the sofa, speaking coldly, "Continue slapping her."
Another slap landed, making Margaret dizzy.
These men were elites handpicked by Nicholas. If they hadn't held back, they would have beaten Margaret to death on the spot!
Tyler shouted, "Who are you? Let go of my wife! I'm calling the police!"
He watched from the side, hurriedly trying to pick up his phone to call the police.
However, the next second, Nicholas' indifferent words echoed in the villa hall.
"If you dare call the police, I'll kill her right now."
This sentence scared Tyler into inaction.
Despite her meanness, rudeness, and unreasonable behavior, Margaret was adept at reading situations and recognized that these individuals were not to be taken lightly.
But she was indignant. Why was she being hit?
Who were these people?
"I'm going to tell William. He knows a lot of people! You know Alan, right? He's like a brother to Willam. If you hit me today, you won't leave this place!" Margaret cursed fiercely, spitting as she spoke.
Blood was already seeping from the corner of her mouth.
Suddenly, Nicholas stood up.
Seeing this, Margaret was astonished. She stared at him, trembling all over, and asked with a quivering voice, "What are you going to do? William is..."
Nicholas personally stepped forward, slapping her angrily, and said coldly, "Margaret, let me tell you, no one in this world can insult my nephew. He is not a coward!"
Nephew?
Margaret was stunned but quickly understood.
Margaret blinked, asking in confusion, "You're William's uncle?"
Nicholas snorted coldly, waved his hand, and left with his men. Before leaving, he said, "We'll meet again in a few days. I hope by then, you'll behave yourself. Otherwise, whatever William doesn't dare to do, I'll do for him!"
Watching Nicholas and his men leave, Margaret collapsed on the sofa, rubbing her face.
It hurt so much.
It seemed the teeth she had just fixed were knocked out again!
Who the hell were these people?
Was he really William's uncle?
Damn!
"William, you don't dare do anything to me, so you let your family come and deal with me, huh? I'm so pissed! I will definitely teach you a lesson!" Margaret secretly determined.
Furious, she smashed everything in the living room.
Tyler sighed helplessly from the side, looking at Margaret as he said, "You should stop causing trouble. Didn't you see William's uncle come over? Don't you know to restrain yourself? Do you have to wait until something happens to regret it?"
Margaret was becoming more and more unreasonable.
Hearing this, Margaret immediately flew into a rage. She got up, slapped Tyler, and pointed at his nose while cursing, "You useless man! You're just like William! I'm your wife, and you don't even dare to stand up for me when I'm hit! Why did I marry you!"
Tyler's face turned cold.
This slap brought Tyler's years of resentment to a head, causing it to explode at that moment!
"Margaret! You're too ungrateful! I've tolerated you for a long time. Don't think I don't know the despicable things you've done! Even now, you still can't see reality?" Tyler roared, his angry voice filling the entire hall.
Margaret was stunned.
She had never seen Tyler so angry.
Margaret asked in disbelief, "You dare hit me? You hit me?!"
She went crazy, scratching at Tyler.
Tyler, exasperated, pushed Margaret away forcefully and locked himself in the study.
Margaret cried and wailed, sitting on the floor, pounding her chest and the ground.
She said, "Tyler, you finally said it, huh? Now you think I'm old and unreasonable, right?"
She sobbed and wailed, "Divorce! I want a divorce! I can't stay in this house anymore! You and Mary are both ungrateful, always siding with that William. What's so great about William? Just because he has some money now. Who knows if that money is even his? Go ahead and suck up to him."
After cursing for a long time and feeling parched, Margaret finally shut her mouth.
Suddenly, she remembered what Nicholas said before he left.
She thought, 'Whatever William doesn't dare to do, he will do. What does he want to do? Kill me?'
Thinking of this, Margaret felt a chill down her spine and cursed a few more times. "I don't believe he dares to do that! I'd like to see what kind of people his family really are!"
Nicholas mentioned that they would meet again in a few days.
The next morning.
"Hey, Abigail, good morning."
William, feeling bored, went to the Starbucks in the lobby of the BK Pharmaceuticals building to get a coffee. He happened to run into Abigail, who was carrying several boxes of Starbucks with a hurried look.
Abigail's chest seemed to be getting bigger and more attractive.
William always had a feeling that he had seen Abigail somewhere before, but he just couldn't remember.
It must have been a long time ago.
Today, Abigail was wearing a white floral blouse paired with a black pleated mini skirt, perfectly showcasing her stunning figure.
Moreover, her long, straight legs fascinated men.
Her chest, wrapped in the white blouse, made it hard to breathe just looking at it!
"William?" Abigail exclaimed in surprise.
"Well, you don't seem very happy to see me," William said, smiling awkwardly. Then he continued, "Last time you wanted to invite me to dinner, and I refused. That was my fault, but I had a special situation at the time."
"What are you talking about?" Abigail asked suspiciously. Then she chuckled and said, "You're overthinking. I came down to get some coffee for Ms. Smith. The Cater family delegation is coming to the company today to discuss financing, and I've been so busy I didn't notice you."
"Oh, I see, haha," William said, blushed. He thought, 'Abigail is mad at me and deliberately ignoring me.'
"Let me help you. I'm going up too," William offered.
He seemed to show his good side, but in reality, he wanted to get closer to Abigail and figure out where he had seen her before.
While waiting for the elevator, William, out of curiosity, asked, "The Cater family delegation is coming to discuss financing?"
"Yes," Abigail said, nodding in confirmation.
She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said hesitantly, "Actually, I overheard in the chairman's office that the Cater family plans to terminate all cooperation with BK Pharmaceuticals and withdraw their funds. Ms. Smith is very worried about it."
Terminate cooperation?
William frowned, feeling a sense of foreboding.
After chatting with Abigail for a bit, William, deep in thought, headed towards the marketing department.
Suddenly, everyone in the marketing department stood up, looking solemnly towards the entrance.
Eight men in black suits, lined up in two rows, four on each side, walked in. In the middle of these men, Mary and a mature middle-aged man walked in.
It seemed Mary was accompanying the middle-aged man to inspect the marketing department.
The middle-aged man looked to be in his forties or fifties, exuding an aura of authority and confidence with the demeanor of a business tycoon.
"Quite the entourage, a real big shot," a colleague whispered in William's ear. He introduced, "That's Evander Carter, the head of the Cater family from Sunshine Bay City, and the biggest director on our board. He's Keith's father. They say he's here to discuss a cooperation project with BK Pharmaceuticals."
Discuss cooperation?
William sneered inwardly. Others might not know, but he had already learned from Abigail that Evander was here to withdraw funds!
He has betrayed BK Pharmaceuticals!
The Cater family was a vassal of the Miller family.
So, what role did Jessica play in this?
Recently, the Cater family invested a significant amount of money, diluting Mary's shares and bringing both sides to equal standing. Now, with the Cater family suddenly withdrawing funds, the implications were profound.
They wanted to completely crush BK Pharmaceuticals!
This move was indeed high-level!
If they couldn't find new shareholders to fill the funding gap, the company would face bankruptcy arbitration, and Mary could even be sued!
Mary would face endless lawsuits and might end up in prison!
The more William thought about it, the colder his heart became.
He thought, 'Jessica, you finally couldn't hold back, could you?'
