Chapter 314 Who Dares to Touch My Nephew!
Mary felt very nervous. Was William going to take her back to the Jones family?
What should she do?
Could she go back like this?
Would William's father and family like her?
"Wait, honey. Wait!" Mary said.
She grabbed William's arm and said shyly, "I need to go change my clothes."
William was taken aback, patted Mary on the head, and said, "It's okay. Just come with me."
With that, he pulled Mary into the BMW, and they left the upscale residential area.
As they were leaving, Margaret happened to see them at the villa's entrance.
"Where are they rushing off to?" Margaret muttered to herself, feeling a bit down. She was followed by a group of friends, all dressed to the nines.
Someone exclaimed, "Oh my, Margaret, is this your villa? It's so big and luxurious."
Another woman marveled, "Oh my God, this must be Villa No.1, it's so extravagant. How much does Mary make?"
A female voice chimed in, "I'm so envious, Margaret is the first among us to live in a villa, and in an upscale residential area no less. I'm so jealous!"
The group of women chattered non-stop, full of praise.
They were all sycophants.
Margaret felt elated, her nose in the air, and said proudly, "Of course. Mary is the chairman."
Then, looking around mysteriously, Margaret said, "Let me tell you, just recently, Mary's company raised three billion dollars!"
Three billion dollars!
The group of women widened their eyes, covering their mouths in disbelief.
'That's insane!' they thought.
A woman asked, "Wow, Margaret, how much is Mary going to make?"
Another woman echoed, "Yeah, Margaret, won't you be a billionaire soon?"
For a moment, all of them began to fawn over her.
Margaret was overjoyed and proudly said, "Oh, I don't really care if I'm a billionaire or not. Come on, let's go sit in my villa."
One middle-aged woman, full of flattery, said, "Sure, we'll rely on you in the future, Margaret."
As she spoke, she linked arms with Margaret, looking as if she was exceptionally close to her.
Then, Margaret led her friends into the villa, strutting like a wealthy lady.
Meanwhile, William drove with Mary across the bridge and into the vast mountains.
They were on their way to Cloud Peak Manor.
When they arrived at the entrance, bodyguards were already there to stop them.
"Mr. Jones."
Jessica's bodyguards recognized William instantly and respectfully stood in front of his car.
Mary got out of the car, looking at the luxurious and vast manor, and remembered that she had been here that night.
This was Jessica's manor.
Why had William brought her here?
"Honey, isn't this Jessica's manor?" Mary asked, puzzled, looking at the manor.
William was taken aback, turned to Mary, and asked, "How do you know?"
Mary then realized that she had come here secretly last time to inquire about William's identity.
Shyly, she answered truthfully, "Actually, I came to see Jessica last time to find out about your identity."
William frowned and asked, "What did she tell you?"
"Nothing," Mary said, afraid that William would blame her for not trusting him.
William fell silent, put his hands in his pockets, and led Mary through the gate, saying, "Follow me."
Mary followed William cautiously; this place was much more luxurious than Villa No.1.
It was a mansion among mansions.
Inside the manor, a black-suited bodyguard stood at attention every few steps. As William walked in, they all bowed and greeted him.
Even if they were Jessica's subordinates, they had to know their place.
Mary and William entered the hall, where Jessica was already waiting, her face full of confusion.
She didn't understand why William had suddenly brought Mary here.
What was he up to?
Was he breaking the agreement or just showing off?
Mary was very polite. She stood next to William and sweetly greeted her, "Hello, Jessica."
Jessica only smiled slightly, nodded in acknowledgment, and then stared intently at William. William sat down on the plush sofa and said calmly, "I'm taking Mary back."
His words hit the room like a thunderclap.
Jessica's expression instantly shifted from indifference to shock, and then to anger!
"Do you know what you're saying?" she asked coldly, her aura fully unleashed, causing the temperature in the hall to plummet as if it were the dead of winter.
Damn William, how could he suddenly bring this up?
Did he understand what his behavior meant?
She would never allow such a thing to happen!
Mary was also taken aback, completely unprepared for how the topic of going home could make Jessica so furious.
She looked at William with a puzzled expression, unaware of the reason behind it.
William, however, smiled calmly and said, "Yeah, I'm well aware of what I'm saying. I also know what you and the Miller family are up to. I know you've done a lot over the years to challenge the main family. But remember, the Jones family will never be a part of the Miller clan. I am the rightful heir of the Jones family, and even if you banned me, it wouldn't alter the end result."
With that, William stood up, stared at Jessica, and enunciated each word. "I, William, will take Mary and Sarah back, and no one can change that decision. By the way, our agreement is null and void starting today!"
Null and void!
To Jessica, it sounded like a thunderclap!
How dare William nullify it?
"How dare you!" Jessica said coldly, her eyes blazing with anger.
She was truly furious!
William's unexpected move caught her off guard. She couldn't allow William's decision to disrupt her years of planning within the Jones family.
The struggle between the main family and the branch family had dragged on for decades.
In recent years, it had been particularly intense!
At Jessica's command, dozens of bodyguards in black suits suddenly rushed into the hall, surrounding William and Mary.
Zoe also appeared behind Jessica, her eyes coldly fixed on William.
At Jessica's command, Zoe would shoot William on the spot!
Mary was frightened by the sudden appearance of the bodyguards and ran behind William, tightly gripping his hand, whispering, "Honey, don't be angry with Jessica. Talk it out."
She was scared, thinking William had angered Jessica.
After all, Jessica was William's stepmother, and Mary couldn't say much in this situation. She only knew that as a junior, William should apologize first.
However, William turned his head slightly, looked at Mary, and smiled. "Haven't you always wanted to know who I am? Haven't you always wanted to know my identity?"
Mary looked up, her bright eyes filled with confusion as she gazed at William.
At that moment, she felt an unprecedented sense of security from William.
"Jessica, I'm standing right here. Do you dare to touch me?" William said , standing fearlessly in front of Mary, coldly staring at Jessica.
Jessica stared coldly at William, her teeth clenched in anger.
This was the first time she felt uneasy.
She thought that William wasn't just a simple fool who had come here just to say these things.
"Do you really think I wouldn't dare?" Jessica said, her eyes filled with coldness.
As soon as she finished speaking, the dozens of bodyguards in black suits beside her took a few steps forward, drawing batons from their waists.
"Since you unilaterally tore up our agreement, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Jessica declared.
Through clenched teeth, Jessica added, "Maybe I should've grounded you seven years back."
It was her own fault for being soft-hearted back then and letting him out of the Jones family.
Otherwise, her plan wouldn't have had so many unexpected turns.
"Take him down!" Jessica commanded coldly.
At her command, the surrounding bodyguards all moved in.
Mary was trembling with fear, clutching William's arm tightly. She wanted to speak, but her throat was too tight to utter a word.
Suddenly, a violent shout came from the door. "Let's see who dares to touch my nephew!"
Immediately, a team of burly men rushed in, surrounding Jessica and her bodyguards.
All of them bore the emblem of an island and a suspended sword on their chests!
They were the armed forces of the Jones family in Skyheart Island.
They belonged to only one person- Nicholas!
He strode into the hall, in a well-tailored gray suit, with slicked-back hair, a cold expression on his face, and a pipe in his mouth.
