Chapter 279 I'll Handle It for You
At the very moment Leah finished speaking, William slapped her in the face!
Right in front of Keith, William slapped her without any hesitation!
Stunned, Leah covered her face with a bright red handprint and stared wide-eyed at William. After a moment, she screamed hysterically, "How dare you hit me? Mr. Carter, he actually hit me!"
Keith was also shocked by William's ruthless action but quickly became furious!
How dare William to hit his woman right in front of him!
He pointed at William and shouted, "How dare you! Do you know who she is?"
"Yeah, your mistress," William said casually.
Keith's face turned red with anger, and he raised his hand to slap William.
However, he was no match for William. In an instant, William twisted his arm and pinned him against the wall!
"Let go of me! I'm the vice chairman of the company. If you dare to lay a hand on me, I'll fire you immediately! I'll have my dad pull the funding, and then you and your wife will go to jail!" Keith shouted, struggling violently.
William coldly whispered in his ear, "Keith, stop using your position as vice chairman to oppress others, and stop threatening to fire people all the time. I've heard it countless times, yet I'm still standing here."
Keith's face twisted with rage as he shouted, "Alright! Let's see how you explain this to Mary after hitting me!"
Upon threat, William increased pressure, causing Keith to scream in pain and deterring Leah and subordinates from advancing.
"Help! Security, security!" Leah screamed loudly, causing a commotion in the entire company lobby.
Several security guards rushed over, including Quillon, who was on duty. He arrived to see William hitting Keith.
Quillon was in a tough spot. It was the same issue as last time, and helping either side would be problematic.
"What are you standing there for? Arrest him now!" Keith shouted at Quillon.
Quillon, with a conflicted expression, called over two security guards and approached William with a forced smile. He said, "Mr. Jones, could you please let go? We can sit down and talk. If necessary, I'll call Ms. Smith."
There was no choice. Even if he was a freeloader, Quillon couldn't afford to offend him, the chairman's husband.
Keith furiously shouted, "What are you doing? Arrest him now! Or you'll all be fired!"
"You're so annoying!" William said impatiently.
He frowned and applied more force, dislocating Keith's arm.
Instantly, Keith screamed in pain, clutching his dislocated arm and shouting, "Arrest him, or you'll all be fired!"
Quillon was also shocked, not expecting William to have such a fiery temper.
"Mr. Jones, I'm sorry," Quillon said.
He had no choice but to restrain William, signaling the two subordinates to take him to the security room.
"Mr. Carter, maybe you should go to the hospital?" Quillon said obsequiously.
Keith kicked him in the chest, cursed a few times, and left the company lobby with the terrified Leah. Before leaving, he commanded, "Keep an eye on him! If I don't see him when I get back, you'll all be in trouble!"
Quillon got up from the ground, adjusted his security hat, sighed, and hurried to the security room.
William leisurely sat in the security room with fruits and cigarettes on the table.
Several junior security guards surrounded him.
There was no choice. Quillon had instructed them to treat William well, as he was the chairman's husband.
William didn't expect such special treatment and leisurely ate a banana.
At that moment, the door to the security room was kicked open, and three men in security uniforms rushed in.
"Cosmo, what brings you here today?" One of the junior security guards who had brought William in immediately greeted him with a smile.
A voice shouted, "Get out of the way!"
A 6-foot-tall, burly man named Cosmo filled the doorway.
Holding a stun baton, Cosmo stormed in, glared at William, and questioned, "Are you William? Did you just hit Mr. Carter?"
William continued eating his banana, crossing his legs without acknowledging him.
He caught a glimpse of Cosmo's security guards ejecting the junior ones and locking the door.
"Quite the temper. Let's see if you can hold up!" Cosmo sneered, his beady eyes narrowing as he thrust the stun baton at William's waist!
In an instant, Cosmo collapsed to the ground!
The two security guards at the door hadn't even realized what had happened when they saw Cosmo already on the ground!
The man named William was now holding the stun baton, which sparked with blue electricity. With one foot on Cosmo's face, he spat out, "Not very resistant to electricity, are you?"
The two security guards at the door were stunned by what they saw!
That was Cosmo, who could easily take on three people by himself, yet he was taken down by a baton.
A voice snapped, "Where did this punk come from? You're asking for it!"
One of the security guards, with a grim expression, pulled out a baton from his waist and charged at William, aiming a heavy blow at his head!
A hit like that could cause serious brain damage!
William's eyebrows twitched, his expression quickly turning cold, and his demeanor becoming sharply intense!
He didn't expect the guard to go for a lethal strike!
In an instant, William snatched the baton from the guard's hand. While the guard was still in shock, William kicked him out through the glass window!
The glass shattered, and the guard flew out of the window, landing heavily on the ground, unable to get up for a long time!
The remaining guard, seeing this, was already trembling with fear. He quickly knelt on the ground and begged, "Mr. Jones, please spare me. We were just following Mr. Carter's orders. Please..."
William lifted his foot and kicked him out of the doorway!
The door was blown open due to the impact, with half of the frame shattered.
It was clear how angry William was!
Outside, Quillon's two subordinates were already standing at attention, silently thinking, 'Damn, William's fierce! No wonder he's the chairman's husband! Is he really a pushover?'
William walked out of the security room and stomped on the chest of the guard, who was pretending to be dead at the door. The guard screamed in pain, clutching William's leg and begging for mercy.
"Go back and tell Keith not to mess with me!" William said coldly, his voice echoing at the security room door.
William lifted his foot, and the guard, clutching his chest, thanked him profusely. He hurriedly dragged his fallen comrade away, not even caring about the stunned Cosmo in the security room.
Meanwhile, Mary returned to the villa after a long workday. Upon entering the villa, she was promptly led to the sofa by Margaret.
Margaret said, "Mary, tell me, is something wrong at your company? I heard that the Carter family is pulling their investment from your company?"
Margaret was extremely anxious. She had heard this from Dorothy and rushed back to the villa.
"Mom, who told you that?" Mary asked, exhausted.
"Just tell me if it's true," Margaret repeated, worried. According to Dorothy, the Carter family was a wealthy family. If they pulled their investment, Mary's company would go bankrupt, and Mary might even face lawsuits and jail time.
If that happened, the Smith family would be finished.
The villa would be gone, too.
"Mom, please don't ask about company matters. I'll handle it." Mary said, rubbing her temples and feeling very irritated.
Margaret started crying and shouting, "Mary, are you stupid? If something happens, you're done for!"
She continued, "Listen to me. I've thought it through. You should resign from the company, sell this villa, and divorce William."
Margaret was anxious and had already made up her mind.
Stunned, Mary stood up and scolded, "Mom, what are you talking about? Why should I divorce William? Besides, this villa was bought by William. Why should we sell it?"
Margaret immediately slapped Mary and scolded her, "I know it was William who caused trouble with Keith at your company. I've looked into it! Why did you bring him into your company? Even if that punk has some money now, can he compare to the Carter family?"
"You have to listen to me. Resign, sell the house, and divorce!" Margaret said firmly.
That was the Carter family from Sunshine Bay City. How could William's little money compare?
Mary sat on the sofa, crying her heart out. Margaret was unreasonable.
But Mary knew that she was truly powerless in this matter.
The Carter family was like a giant net over BK Pharmaceuticals.
Just then, William returned to the villa. He walked into the hall and saw Mary crying her heart out.
He stepped forward, wiped away her tears, and asked, "What's wrong, Mary?"
Mary choked out, "William, Mom wants me to resign, sell the villa, and divorce you. I'm so tired."
William's brows furrowed, and his anger surged!
"Is it because of the company?" he asked.
"Honey, I don't want to divorce you, but I don't know what to do. They're all trying to push me out of BK Pharmaceuticals, and Evander is threatening me. I'm really scared," Mary said in a tearful voice.
"I'll take care of it," William said simply and then got up to leave.
