Chapter 82 William Got Captured!
Jeffery Gray was in a private room, holding his phone with a cold expression. "Make sure everything goes perfectly, or you won't get a dime!"
Jeffery had been planning for this night for a long time. He couldn’t afford any mistakes. He had to get Mary tonight and get rid of William!
"Jeffery, trust me, I'll handle it. I guarantee a flawless operation. Tonight, you can sit back and savor that little lady," a lascivious chuckle echoed from Arnold on the phone.
Jeffery frowned, his tone turning frigid. "Focus on the task at hand. There is no need for your interference."
He harbored a strong distaste for Arnold's demeanor.
Though known for his passionate nature, Jeffery had to rely on him for his reliability.
The door of the VIP room swung open at precisely that time, showing William and Mary's arrival.
Jeffery quickly hung up the phone. He stood up and greeted with a smile, "Mary, delighted to see you."
But when he saw William, his smile froze and turned cold. "William, make yourself comfortable. It's just the three of us today."
As William and Mary sat down, the atmosphere in the room became awkward. Jeffery poured drinks for them, still smiling, "This is the first time we've had dinner together since graduating from college."
As William and Mary settled in, an awkward tension permeated the VIP room.
Jeffery poured drinks for them, still smiling. "This marks our first post-college reunion dinner."
Mary said sentimentally, "Yeah, it’s been three years, and we’re still able to dine together like this."
Women were always sentimental, weren’t they?
Contrastingly, William remained nonchalant. He seated beside Mary with arms crossed, observing Jeffery's theatrics.
Jeffery's intentions remain inscrutable to William, yet he comprehends that Jeffery is not one to relinquish control easily.
"Mary, William. Let's raise a toast," Jeffery proposed, lifting his glass.
Observing William's hesitation, Jeffery quipped with a wry smile, "What's the matter, William? Do you still hold a grudge against me?"
Mary shot William a stern look, lightly nudging him under the table while playfully winking at him.
After a moment's contemplation, William raised his glass, and the trio clinked their glasses in unison.
Amidst the meal, reminiscences of their college days dominated the conversation, evoking a sense of nostalgia and admiration.
Midway through their exchange, a waiter abruptly entered. He informed Mary of a visitor in the lobby, prompting her departure.
Subsequently, Jeffery excused himself to investigate the situation.
Soon, only William was left in the private room.
It was at this juncture that a statuesque woman in a crimson plunging neckline gown sauntered in, boasting voluminous waves of hair elevated in stilettos, exuding an aura of allure.
She exuded the essence of a seasoned nightclub aficionado.
Upon her entrance, she promptly shut the door behind her, discarding her handbag, and proceeded directly to the bewildered William.
"Miss, you must have the wrong room," said William, still somewhat perplexed.
However, what ensued next forewarned him that this was indeed a meticulously laid trap!
The woman sat on William's lap and aggressively threw herself at him.
William was dumbfounded.
What in the world was happening?
He abruptly pushed the woman off him. Without any pretense, she got up and calmly sat on the sofa, casually smoking a lady's cigarette.
Before William could react, the private room door was kicked open!
Several burly tattooed men immediately rushed in, blocking every possible escape route.
William squinted, quickly realizing what was happening.
The woman on the couch immediately rushed over, disheveled, crying, and accusing, "Arnold, you have to stand up for me. He almost raped me just now."
It was a setup!
William instantly understood that this was a trap aimed at him!
It's obvious who did it.
Jeffery, shameless bastard!
The lead tattooed man, also known as Arnold, kicked William hard in the chest and viciously scolded, "You damn brat dare to mess with my girlfriend! Are you looking for death?"
William's gaze turned cold as he looked around. The door was blocked, and there were people in the windows, leaving him with no way out.
He coldly stated, "I didn't mess with your girlfriend. She barged in herself and I didn't do anything."
A crowd had gathered outside the door, all craning their necks to see.
Arnold shouted, "Everyone, come and look at this! This guy tried to force himself on my girlfriend. He says he did nothing, but look at the lipstick marks on his mouth and face. Did my girlfriend kiss him herself?"
The onlookers outside immediately started discussing:
"I can't believe there are people like this at the Peace Hotel. This guy dresses so shabbily but has such dirty thoughts!"
"This kind of person should be arrested and chemically castrated!"
"Disgusting! He should be paraded through the streets, stripped naked and thrown out!"
The crowd was incensed.
William grimaced sharply. His face darkened as he listened to their insults.
Arnold couldn't stand William's clueless and innocent look. He kicked him again, pointing angrily at his face. "You damn brat, can't you find a woman of your own? How dare you mess with Arnold's woman? You're dead!"
William's eyes were sharp as he stared at the woman crying beside Arnold. "Tell them, wasn't it you who barged in here?" he said coldly.
The woman pointed at William and retorted with tears streaming down her face, "Arnold, he's lying. Outside, he was staring at my legs and saying things about my figure. When I went to the restroom, he grabbed me from behind and dragged me in here. I almost ..."
"You damn brat, still pretending?" Arnold exploded in anger, slapping William hard on the head and roaring, "Punk, you're finished today!"
At that moment, Jeffery arrived with Mary.
Seeing the scene, Jeffery looked very surprised and asked, "William, what's going on? What happened?"
Mary was also in shock when she heard the commotion. Now that she saw what was happening in the private room and listened to the conversations around her, her eyes immediately welled up with tears.
"William, what have you done?" Mary rushed over, grabbing William's arm.
William hurriedly said, "Honey, believe me, I was framed. I don't even know this woman. They're all ganging up on me."
Arnold immediately laughed and cursed, "Bullshit! You've got a wife but still want to mess with my woman!"
"Hey, Babe. Your husband is a pervert. He dragged my girlfriend into the room to assault her!"
Mary Smith panicked and quickly turned to apologize, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. My husband would never do that. There must be some misunderstanding."
Mary couldn't believe that William would do such a thing.
Then Arnold pushed the woman beside him away and aggressively said to Mary, "Are you accusing me of lying? Look at all the lipstick marks on William's face. Did you say my girlfriend is being cheap and trying to mess with William?"
Mary shrank back, frightened by Arnold's aggression.
However, she kept apologizing, "I believe my husband. He wouldn't do this. There must be a mistake."
"Mistake my ass!"
Arnold was enraged and raised his hand to slap, but William firmly grabbed his hand in mid-air. "You can hit me, but don't touch my wife!"
Arnold squinted. Known for his cruelty, he didn't expect to be stopped by such an ordinary man.
This guy was challenging to deal with.
"Alright, you want to play tough! I'll see you kneel later!" Arnold raged.
Meanwhile, a few burly men walked in from outside.
"Arnold, what's going on? Why the rush to call us over." The man with a square face leading them asked seriously.
They were from the biggest bodyguard company in Lindwood City, specializing in handling personal disputes.
"It's him," Arnold said, pointing at William. Then he sneered, "This guy tried to assault my girlfriend. I caught him red-handed. Get him!"
"Bullying Arnold's woman. Take him away, all of you too," The burly man ordered.
"Guys, you must have got it wrong. My husband wouldn't do such a thing. There's definitely a misunderstanding." Mary, with red eyes, was almost in tears seeing William being taken away.
"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, you'll find out when we get back."
The square-faced man waved his hand and his men handcuffed William behind his back.
"Wait!"
Mary tried to intervene, but the square-faced man warned her sternly, "Miss. If you keep interfering, we'll take you in too!"
These guys were not ordinary. They were a bodyguard company with connections.
"Mary, don't worry. I know someone at their company. I'll ask about it for William," Jeffery, who had been watching the whole time, stepped forward, looking concerned.
In fact, he was sneering and exchanged a glance with Arnold.
They both smirked smugly.
William was definitely in trouble now.
William smiled, wiped away the tears from Mary's eyes, and said, "Darling, don't worry. I'll clear up the misunderstanding and be out soon."
William appeared calm, but he was fuming inside.
He looked coldly at Jeffrey, sneering inwardly.
Jeffrey, you've finally made your move against me.
Now, you'd face the consequences.
William was taken away and directly sent to a separate basement, where no one came during the period he was held there.
Meanwhile, Arnold and his group had already left!
Because they had colluded with this company.
It was just a scare tactic, nothing more.
Outside the company entrance, Arnold and his brothers were chatting and smoking, waiting for Jeffrey to arrive in his BMW X8.
"Mr. Gray, if something like this happens again, make sure to call us," Arnold chuckled. He then embraced the woman in the red dress and left with his crew.
Jeffery glanced coldly at the heavily guarded security company, a mocking sneer on his face. "If you try to mess with me, I'll take you down eventually!"
After Wiliam got captured by a group of people, the whole of Springfield City stirred up a storm, with hidden currents surging.
"Sir! Something has happened. William has been captured!"
Inside the mansion, Craig hurriedly found Alan.
