Chapter 77 The Secret of William
In an instant, the sound from the video filled the room, and it was particularly loud.
Larry was dumbfounded when he saw the timestamp of the video, followed by a face full of fury!
At first glance, he recognized the woman in the video. It was his mistress, Patricia!
Patricia was flabbergasted! She couldn't believe what she was seeing in the video and immediately shook her head in denial. "Honey, that's not me, it definitely isn't, it's fake!"
Patricia panicked!Larry swung a furious slap across her face, cursing. "Patricia, I've spent millions on you, and you dare cheat on me behind my back?"
The ultimate humiliation! Larry was now the cuckold for sure, and it had been exposed in front of all his colleagues at the company.
Patricia was now frantic. Covering her face with her hands, tears welling up in her eyes, she defended herself. "Honey, listen to me, I really didn't, the video must be fake! "
After shouting, she turned to William and began to lash out. "William, you're framing me, I'll kill you!"
While shouting about killing William, she tried to snatch the phone from his hand.
William pushed Patricia away forcefully, coldly saying, "Whether this video is real or not, you know it, and I think Mr. Hall knows too."
Of course, Larry knew. His face turned icy as he slapped Patricia again, roaring, "Patricia, from now on, you have nothing to do with me. You're fired from the company, now get out!"
Patricia wouldn't just let it go. Larry was her cash cow; she couldn't let go.
Without another word, Patricia knelt on the ground, begging Larry for forgiveness. "Honey, I won't dare again, I really won't dare next time. I was just drunk, that's why that happened, please believe me, forgive me this once."
This was tantamount to an indirect admission of her infidelity.
Larry was even more furious. He kicked her without any regard for her being a woman, kicking her hard in the chest, then flinging his hand away, cursing loudly. "Get out! now!"
It was disgraceful. In front of all his subordinates, his mistress cheated on him and cuckolded him.
Larry couldn't bear it.
Patricia broke down crying, filled with resentment, and with teeth clenched and eyes filled with anger, she pointed at Mary, shouting. "It's all because of you, you whore, you ruined me!"
Naturally, she didn't dare to do anything to William, so she took out all her anger on Mary.
She rushed over, grabbed a small vase, and hurled it toward Mary.
It happened so suddenly! William could only leap forward, raising his hand to block it.
The vase hit William' hand, painfully shattering. Blood flowed down. William's hand was cut open.
Mary's eyes widened in panic as she rushed over to look at William's bloodied hand.
At that moment, she was furious, turned around, and delivered a fierce slap to Patricia's face, shouting. "Patricia, this is for what you did to me!"
Another.
"This one is for my husband!"
After that, Mary wrapped William's wound with a tissue, then grabbed her bag, not even glancing at Larry , and left the company with William.
At a small clinic down the street, Mary accompanied William as he had his wound treated, watching with concern. "How is it, does it hurt?"
William grinned foolishly. "It's nothing, just a small injury. But what about you?"
Mary's eyes curved, her face still swollen. She thought of how William had appeared before her like a god descending to earth under such circumstances.
Such a thrill, she hadn't felt it in a long time. It seemed William had really changed.
Mary shook her head, smiling. "I'm fine, thank you for just now."
William said, "You're my wife, why thank me?"
Mary rolled her eyes at him, pinching the soft flesh around his waist. "You talk too much. But where did you get that video?"
Mary was puzzled. How did William come to possess such a video of Patricia?
William' eyes shifted, explaining. "After you were bullied by her yesterday, I asked Brenda and she told me. Then you know, I have a classmate working at a bar, and upon inquiring, I just happened to find out about Patricia's affairs. She's been fishing for men everywhere, so there is this secretly filmed video."
Mary nodded, not entirely convinced. But since William had said so, she didn't press further.
Leaving the clinic, Mary led William to a coffee shop, ordered two cups of coffee, and said somewhat irritably. "William, I've lost my job, what are we going to do now?"
Although Mary had resigned in a fit of anger, she now regretted it.
After all, the salary at BK was quite high, and the family needed money.
William shrugged, nonchalantly saying, "Don't worry, you still have me, I won't let you and our daughter starve."
"Should I go talk to Mr. Hall?" Mary asked, blinking.
This was one of the few times she had asked William for his opinion. William seemed to have changed, becoming responsible, giving her a sense of security.
"I think Mr. Hall will call you back to work in a bit," William said calmly.
Mary was taken aback, then gave William a look. "You're just bragging, don't you see, I just resign in front of him."
"Forget it, let's not think about it. If worse comes to worst, I'll just find a new job."
William was silent for a moment, then asked. "Mary, tell me, do you like working at that company?"
"I do, my colleagues there are nice to me," Mary said. Suddenly, she opened up.
William listened intently, then excused himself to make a call. On the phone, the voice of Charles came through immediately, full of surprise. "William, what can I do for you?"
"The Loren's partnership can start negotiations with BK, remember, it can only be with BK's Mary," William said calmly.
"William, rest assured, I will arrange it right away," Charles replied respectfully.
Charles hung up, originally planning to delegate the task, but after some thought, he decided to personally call the Chairman of BK Pharmaceuticals.
Larry was in his office, extremely angry.
His mistress cheated, and the marketing manager resigned. What a day!
Just then, his phone rang inopportunely.
Larry answered angrily. "Who the hell is this? I've said no to sales calls, I'm not buying property or taking out loans!"
"Mr. Hall, it's me, Charles, not a sales call," a sonorous voice came through the phone.
Charles?
Larry was startled, standing up abruptly, leaning on the desk, and apologizing excitedly. "Professor Charles?"
These days, Larry had been racking his brains over the Loren partnership.
He could hardly believe that the renowned medical authority Professor Charles was calling him personally.
"Charles, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you, I thought it was the salesperson from earlier, they've been calling me all day, driving me crazy," Larry hurriedly explained. "Charles, why are you calling me?"
Not one for beating around the bush, Charles got straight to the point. "I've looked into the pharmaceutical enterprises in Lindwood City. The Loren would like to partner with BK."
Partner with BK?
Larry nearly jumped up in excitement!
He couldn't believe that the Loren, which others could only dream of partnering with, was coming to him for a collaboration.
Was this a turn of fortune?
"Charles, are you serious? You really want to partner with us at BK?"
"Of course, but there's a condition."
"Tell me, any condition is fine. To partner with Loren is my honor, BK's honor." Larry was now ecstatic.
"This partnership, we will only talk to your company's marketing manager Mary, and we will only sign the contract with her," Charles said. "Of course, there is a time limit. If you can settle it today, we will talk; if not, I'll look for another company."
Mary?
Larry was stunned but quickly agreed. "Ok, Charles, I will arrange it right now."
After hanging up, Larry was in a panic.
Why did Charles specifically ask to talk to Mary? Could it be that he knew Mary?
Mary had resigned!
Now Larry was sweating bullets, hurriedly trying to contact Mary.
Back at the coffee shop, William returned to his seat just as Mary's phone rang. Seeing it was Larry, she didn't want to answer.
But William cheerfully said, "Answer it, it might be good news."
Mary was puzzled, her brows slightly furrowed. She picked up the phone and answered. "Mr. Hall, what else do you want?"
"Mary, where are you? Let's meet and talk." Larry sounded very anxious on the phone.
This was the only chance to partner with Loren, he couldn't miss it.
Mary replied coldly. "Mr. Hall, sorry, but I've resigned, and there's nothing left for us to talk about."
She was about to hang up.
From the other end of the phone, Larry 's voice came shouting. "Mary, wait, let me finish!"How about this, the company's vice president position is yours, the salary and benefits will be at the vice president's standard, and personally, I will contribute one million for Sarah's treatment, how about that?" Larry offered temptingly.
"Mr. Hall, what do you mean?" Mary was startled, quite puzzled.
Larry was very anxious. "Mary, how about this, where are you, let's meet and talk in detail."
Mary thought for a moment, told Larry the address, and then hung up the phone, taking a long breath, looking at William in a daze. "William, Larry wants me to go back as vice president."
William smiled, pretending to be excited. "That's great, from now on you can support me and Sarah."
Mary glared at him playfully, muttering, "Why would it suddenly be like this?"
"Do you want to know?" William took a sip of his coffee and said.
