Chapter 304 The Henderson Family, Really Impressive?
Just then, Keith stepped forward, pointed at William with an angry expression, and said, "William, do you know who you're talking to? He is Mr. Henderson, a nobleman from Imperial City!"
Keith had his calculations. By standing up for Archibald, he could help Archibald maintain his dignity and naturally grow closer to him.
Immediately after Keith spoke, the gathered entrepreneurs and wealthy heirs from the pharmaceutical industry began criticizing William for his arrogance and lack of gentlemanly conduct.
They hurled various insults at him, declaring he didn't belong at the party.
William didn't care about any of this; instead, he grinned. But from that smile, nothing could be discerned.
Was he not worried at all about this big shot from Imperial City making a move against them?!
"Alright, alright, it's no big deal. Mr. Jones is just being genuine," Archibald said with a faint smile.
Did he mistake William?
Mary stepped forward at this moment. With an elegant smile and full of apologies, she said to Archibald, "Mr. Henderson, I've heard so much about you. I didn't expect you to come here. William isn't very good with words. I hope you won't take it personally."
Archibald gave William a cold glance, then looked at Mary with a full smile, admiringly saying, "Ms. Smith, I heard about you as soon as I arrived in Lindwood City. You truly are a beauty."
"You're too kind. How can I compare to you? You're a business genius. I still have a lot to learn from you," Mary flattered. Like many businessmen, she knew the importance of complimenting others.
Archibald asked, "I heard your group has developed a new anti-cancer drug. I'm very interested. I wonder if you time to chat now. Maybe we can discuss a collaboration."
Archibald looked at Mary with a smile, directly extending an olive branch.
This woman, with her cold and elegant demeanor, was exactly Archibald's type!
William's face turned slightly cold upon hearing this.
'The Henderson family, they never learn,' he thought angrily.
Mary smiled, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mr. Henderson's interest in our company's new drug is truly an honor for us. I believe we should arrange a time to sit down and discuss it in detail."
This was a polite refusal. Mary realized Archibald's real aim was a date with her, not collaboration.
But she didn't directly reject him, instead handling it in a roundabout way.
"Haha, alright, I'll be waiting for you," Archibald said, laughing, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
At this moment, Keith coldly looked at Mary and said, "Mary, Mr. Henderson inviting you to discuss a collaboration is an opportunity you can't miss. How can you refuse? Do you have something against Mr. Henderson?"
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Keith was targeting Mary.
It was suggested the Cater family and BK Pharmaceuticals were experiencing a rift, fueling rumors of a divestment. And this situation seemed to confirm it.
Archibald was delighted, not expecting Keith to be so helpful.
At this moment, William put down his wine glass and coldly said, "Keith, you're really calculating. Why don't you go have a conversation with Mr. Henderson?"
Everyone looked at him in surprise, unaware of what William was up to.
Keith's suppressed anger finally erupted. He glared at William and coldly said, "William, it's none of your business!"
William sneered, standing in front of Mary, staring at Keith with a commanding presence, and said, "Keith, I don't care what your calculations are. But if you have any ill intentions towards my wife, you'd better weigh yourself carefully. Don't think that no one dares to touch you!"
Since William had stepped forward, this party was destined to be a farce.
Keith was trembling with anger, shouting, "William, you're just a gigolo living off Mary, a useless wimp. How dare you talk to me like that? Do you think you can take on my family?"
"Your family, huh? I hope you won't be begging me soon," William said, his eyes shining brightly!
Keith instinctively took a few steps back, trying to stay calm, a cold smile tugging at his lips as he said, "Do you want to make a move? Do you even know what you are? If you dare to make a move here, I can make sure Mary's company goes bankrupt by tomorrow!"
William frowned, his whole body exuding a chilling aura, making Keith feel as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
In the next second, he saw William's hand coming at him!
The entire party heard the loud slap!
Keith, already in poor health, couldn't withstand William's slap and was sent flying!
Keith clutched his face, lying on the ground with bright red blood at the corner of his mouth, and half of his cheek was swollen high!
The sudden slap stunned everyone. This was a high-profile party in Lindwood City!
The attendees were all magnates of the pharmaceutical industry, and there was Archibald, a nobleman from Imperial City. How could William dare to hit Keith just like that?
Leah, seeing Keith get hit, immediately stood up, helped Keith up, and scolded William, "You're too rude! This is a high-profile party in Lindwood City, and you're so arrogant! Security, throw him out!"
Seizing the opportunity, Leah spared no effort in attacking William, but she was wrong!
William sneered, walked up to Leah, grabbed her by the hair, and slapped her mercilessly several times, coldly saying, "You're always around, and you dare to shout at me? You bitch!"
Archibald also stepped forward at this moment, his face dark and very displeased, saying, "You hit someone over a few words? That doesn't seem reasonable, does it?"
William shot him a cold glance, and his aura suddenly intensified, sending a chill through the room that left Archibald stunned for a long time.
It was terrifying. How could William have such an aura? It was just like when he faced his brother!
No, William's aura was even stronger than his brother's!
In that instant, Archibald's back was drenched in cold sweat. He wanted to move his feet to leave, but he couldn't lift them at all!
William kicked him in the chest, sending him flying three or four feet, knocking over a table of drinks!
Archibald collapsed on the ground, his face flushed, clutching his stomach, feeling like his intestines were tied in knots!
At this moment, he was in a sorry state, having completely lost the demeanor of a nobleman.
The sudden kick left everyone dumbfounded. Archibald was from the Henderson family in Imperial City!
He represented the high and mighty Henderson family, the hidden aristocracy of Imperial City with a particularly deep background!
It was the Henderson family!
The people present went crazy!
William didn't consider the consequences at all, which would bring catastrophic disaster to his family!
He hit three people in a row!
Two of them were of noble status, including Archibald, who was beaten. Archibald was the young master of the Henderson family and the most promising candidate to inherit the family head position!
Such a person was kicked away by William!
Everyone was dumbfounded, gasping in shock, yet no one dared to step forward to help!
Keith was severely slapped and spat blood, while Leah, his lover, was hit multiple times, her face swollen. Archibald was kicked to the point where he couldn't get up!
Someone remarked, "Crazy, he's simply a madman!"
The onlookers were already stunned, some even cursing in low voices!
Mary frowned, not expecting William to act like this.
She thought, 'The Henderson family is an obscure and profound existence. It's over, William has offended them now! Even the Jones Group from Imperial City couldn't possibly contend with the Henderson family.'
"Honey,"
Mary called, her face full of worry. She quickly pulled William, afraid he might do something even more extreme.
Harper, standing nearby, had her mouth slightly open and her face full of shock. Her beautiful eyes blinked as her heart raced in turmoil. She didn't expect William to act like this. Archibald was the young master of the Henderson family!
Others might not know the immense power of the Henderson family, but Harper was very clear!
As one of the four young masters of Imperial City, Archibald had a deep background!
He was the very embodiment of the Henderson family's reputation!
Archibald lay on the ground, gasping for air. The pain in his abdomen was so intense that it felt like his internal organs had been kicked hard, and his head was buzzing.
Archibald was furious. He had never been hit by anyone throughout his life, let alone suffered such a great humiliation!
He was a favored son of God, the embodiment of countless brilliant qualities, and the object of admiration for many young people!
Today, he was kicked in front of everyone, and this joke would spread throughout Imperial City in no time!
By then, he would be completely humiliated!
One of the four young masters of Imperial City, Archibald, was beaten. That would be a huge joke!
