Chapter 86 Thunderous Means!
William squinted his eyes, a coldness glinting in his gaze.
Jeffery shivered involuntarily, feeling an indescribable aura emanating from William.
It was a sense of invincible confidence.
"William, do you really think you're something special just because you know Alan?" Jeffery sneered, forcing himself to calm down.
It had to be fake. How could a good-for-nothing like William suddenly become so assertive?
Jeffery had a powerful father.
He wasn't worried about what William dared to do to him!
However, William Jones calmly continued, "Jeffery, I don't want to target you, but you've been targeting me at every turn. I know you orchestrated tonight's incident. If I let you go just like that, I'd be letting myself down, and Mary too."
William felt somewhat melancholic towards Jeffery.
The word "brother" had become very foreign to him.
Jeffery's face went pale, his eyebrows tightly knit, and he scoffed, "William, I don't believe you can do anything to me!"
But no sooner had he finished speaking than William, sitting calmly on the sofa opposite and saying, "The reason you're so arrogant is simply because you rely on your father's connections and power. Now, I'm going to destroy it right in front of you."
With that, William took out his phone and dialed George's number." Do it."
"Got it. It's been arranged." George replied on the phone.
It had come to this.
William would have no regrets, for he wouldn't allow anyone to harm Mary.
Jeffery's plans for tonight were nothing but an attempt to take advantage of Mary.
So, he deserved it!
Watching this scene, Jeffery couldn't help but stand up and laugh wildly, pointing at William. "William, are you kidding me? Do you think just by making one phone call, my dad will fall? You're dreaming! My father is the chairman of the Jade Society and has a lot of connections!"
Facing Jeffery's cold laughter and mockery, William remained unmoved, just looking at him indifferently.
Jeffery was too confident.
He hadn't even laughed for a minute when his phone suddenly rang.
Glancing at the caller ID, I saw that his father was calling!
Jeffery smirked triumphantly, waving his phone around. "Look carefully! It's my dad's calling; I'll ask him if you've managed to bring him down!"
Jeffery shouted as soon as the call connected, "Dad, what's up?"
"Jeffery! Are you causing trouble outside? Who have you provoked?!" There was a roar over the phone that made Jeffrey's head buzz.
What's going on?
Jeffery panicked and his laughter abruptly stopped. Cold sweat dripped from his forehead, a sudden ominous feeling erupting!
"Dad, what do you mean?" Jeffrey asked in confusion, his eyes hesitantly locked onto William.
"Just now, the city issued a notice. The Jade Association is being dissolved, and I, as its president, have been dismissed!" Percy Wheeler roared furiously, "And our seven jade stores have all been investigated! Our funds have been completely frozen! Who the hell do you provoke on my behalf? Do you know how many calls I've received from the jade merchants in Burma? You've killed me! You ruin our family! Wretch!"
Jeffery's heart was in turmoil!
His father was removed from his position and their seven jade stores were under investigation!
Seven stores, the entire family's assets, their financial chain completely frozen!
It was equivalent to bankrupting the family!
It would also result in at least three billion in external debt for Jeffery's family!
What kind of move was this?
Terrifying!
"Dad! It can't be; how could this happen?" Jeffery still couldn't believe it, but he was already sweating profusely. He collapsed onto the sofa because of unsteady step and now his eyes went blank.
"You dare to ask me! They named you specifically, saying it's the disaster you caused!" His father roared on the phone.
Suddenly, a door-breaking sound. "Percy Wheeler, you are suspected of improper benefit transfer and abuse of power. You are now under arrest. Please come with us!"
Jeffery heard this clearly, and then Percy's unwilling roar came from the other end of the phone. "Wretch!"
"Dad? Dad!"
Jeffery was anxious, his face deathly pale. The call was disconnected, and he sat on the sofa, limp as if his spine had been pulled out.
Everything was over!
Jeffery's reliance had collapsed overnight!
Now he faced demands from hundreds of jade merchants and which Burmese jade merchant was clean?
Many were involved with the underworld!
Jeffery was thoroughly terrified. His life was over and even his life might be at stake!
William was too cruel!
He cut off his escape route directly!
At this moment, William stood up calmly and said indifferently, "Jeffery, you have only yourself to blame for all this. This is a lesson for you. I hope you'll learn from it."
With that, William left.
Soon, everyone retreated.
Jeffery sat alone on the sofa in the living room, devastated. He first burst into uncontrollable laughter, then into tears.
He did not anticipate losing to William!
He didn't even understand how William did it.
Just a phone call. A single phone call!
Too terrifying!
William was too terrifying!
The focus returned to William Jones. After leaving the Jeffrey Gray mansion, he got into Alan Jordan's car and headed straight to George Clark's place.
"George, what's the matter calling me so late?" William sat on the plush sofa, sipping red wine.
George stood respectfully in front of William, half-bowing. "William, I'm sorry. My negligence has caused you to suffer an injustice."
William indifferently said, "George, stop it with the formalities. It's no big deal. Tell me, what's so urgent that you need to see me?"
George replied respectfully after a moment of thought. "William, Susan is planning to come to Lindwood City in a few days."
The atmosphere suddenly went silent.
The glass of red wine in William's hand hung in mid-air. After a long pause, he solemnly placed it on the marble and gold-lined coffee table.
His eyes were hollow as if troubled.
After a while, William frowned and asked softly, "What is she coming to Lindwood City for?"
Susan was a remarkable woman. She was also very opinionated and proud.
They were childhood sweethearts.
From Kyoto, the first great household, the third daughter of Stanley White, the third-generation head of the White family.
She was the pearl of the White family, adored by all.
"William, Susan has been brooding over your sudden departure at the engagement banquet. Her coming to Lindwood City this time is likely to seek an explanation from you." George said with narrowed eyes. He knew more than he let on, archly.
The William of the past was also a romantic talent who owed a lot of emotional debts.
Almost all the emotional debts that William incurred outside were settled by Susan alone.
How did she settle them?
With money.
But William's sudden departure back then had caused too much harm to Susan.
Her visit to Lindwood City this time would be more complex.
William also felt troubled. He felt deep guilt towards Susan.
"I understand. Keep this matter confidential, especially from Mary. Did you get it?" William said with a frown, his mind a mix of emotions.
What would Mary's reaction be if she knew that William had a fiancée?
Divorce?
That was certain.
Above all, Mary must keep this matter a secret. Even if an explanation was needed, it had to be at the right time and explained slowly.
No longer in the mood to sit, William stood up to leave. His face was full of sorrow.
George personally escorted him to the Smith family's old house.
"William, then I'll head back first," George said respectfully, ready to get into the Bentley.
However, William said, "It's so late, come in for a bit."
George paused in confusion." William, is that alright?"
"It's fine. No one will recognize you, and if I'm out, I need some excuse anyway. You can come up with your own," said William.
After speaking, he led the way into the Smith family's old house.
George sighed helplessly. William's actions were indeed unpredictable.
He instructed his subordinates to park the Bentley on a nearby street and then followed William.
At this moment, Mary was crying non-stop in the Smith family's old house with red eyes.
"Dad, you must save William. He's been framed."
Tyler sat on the sofa. His face was red with anger, and his mouth was twitching. "I'm not making that call! William got himself into this mess, and he can deal with it. If he's innocent, they'll let him go."
Tyler was furious, utterly embarrassed!
His son-in-law had done such a thing!
Not to mention Margaret now, her face full of shame and anger. "Loser! A scum! Disgracing our family! Mary, I told you he wasn't a good person, but you wouldn't listen to me. Now look at what's happened. Now you know he is a beastly waste! You're divorcing William Jones tomorrow, and that's final!"
Margaret was furious after her daughter came home and told them about the incident.
At that time, Margaret's face had darkened.
Her son-in-law was going to disgrace them completely!
If this got out to the neighbors, could Margaret live it down?
It would be best to keep him locked up so she could force her daughter to divorce.
Mary covered her face, crying in despair.
Her parents wouldn't help. What should she do?
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Margaret was naturally not in a good mood after getting enraged. "Bastard! Disturbing my sleep in the middle of the night!"
