Chapter 99 The Lady Has Arrived.
However, before he could say anything, Mary shifted her body to find a comfortable position in his arms, holding William tightly around the waist with her eyes closed. "I'm tired," she murmured.
William was speechless. His right hand held her close as they remained in a silent embrace. It had been a long time since they had been this intimate.
How should he reveal his true identity to Mary? Perhaps he needed to wait for another opportunity.
William got out of the car, still carrying Mary, and returned to the Smith family mansion.
Margaret was particularly excited today. The abundant jewelry was the most she had ever seen in her life.
Not to mention the two million in cash, Margaret wished she could sleep while hugging it.
"You're back? What's wrong with Mary?" Margaret heard the knock on the door and opened it to see William carrying Mary.
William carried Mary directly into the room, helped her take off her shoes and coat, and then sat affectionately at the bedside, watching Mary sleep.
Her beautiful eyebrows were slightly furrowed, a sign of the recent stress she had been under.
"Mary, one day you will know my true identity. At that time, you will be the happiest woman in the world, and Sarah will be the happiest little princess in the world." William whispered, gently caressing Mary's cheek, his eyes filled with unwavering love for her over the past seven years.
He leaned in and gently kissed Mary's forehead.
As William was about to leave the bedroom, his hand was suddenly held back.
Mary opened her eyes, her gaze flickering as she looked at William and asked, "William, will your parents like me?"
Mary was now very worried. William's family used to run the Arctic Star Restaurant, which was very wealthy.
Would his wealthy parents like her, an ordinary woman?
Would her own family embarrass William?
William leaned down and gently patted Mary's soft hand. Don’t worry. My parents will definitely like you. I'll take you to meet them when I am free."
Mary nodded, closed her eyes, and a faint smile appeared on her lips, letting go of all her worries.
She felt she was the happiest woman in the world.
She was willing to believe in William.
Ten minutes later, William quietly left the bedroom. Margaret couldn't wait and pulled him to sit in the living room, pouring him a cup of coffee with a flattering smile on her face.
"William, how much do you know about Susan?" Margaret's mind had been filled with thoughts of Susan and William since the afternoon.
How could someone from such a wealthy family like the White family know William, who was seemingly good for nothing?
There must be a secret she didn't know.
"It's a common relationship," William replied indifferently.
How could he not understand what Margaret meant? She must have had some ulterior motive.
William felt quite tired of having such a mother-in-law.
Margaret was old enough to understand anything. She knew it was just a perfunctory reply, and William didn’t want to tell her.
Her face turned cold, and Margaret snatched the coffee cup that William had just picked up and threw it directly into the trash can, her face stern and displeased. "If you're not going to talk, then don't drink. This is not for you."
What was this? She was just asking a question, and he was already showing impatience.
Margaret was very angry.
William also felt embarrassed, touched his nose, and stood up. “Well, then I'll go back first."
Margaret didn't like him and had too many prejudices against him, and it was better to leave than to stay and suffer.
"Leave quickly. I get angry just by seeing you," Margaret said coldly, not intending to entertain William, waving her hand dismissively.
If William didn't say, then he would go and ask Mary.
His own daughter wouldn't hide it from him, right?
After leaving his mother-in-law's house, William went to the hospital to accompany Sarah.
With Charles's arrangements, Sarah's body was recovering well, and she would be able to have surgery next week.
As long as Sarah's illness was cured, William planned to take Mary and Sarah back.
He had to introduce them to his family.
By then, his true identity would also be revealed to the public.
The only thing William was worried about was the woman at home.
In the middle of the night, William left the ward and found a place to smoke.
Suddenly, two men in black suits walked up behind him and stood respectfully about a meter away from William, saying, "William, the Madam would like to see you."
William frowned, his face instantly turning cold.
As expected, she had come!
After a moment of silence, William flicked his cigarette butt, left the hospital, and got into a Mercedes-Benz parked at the entrance.
The car drove smoothly through the night, across the main road of Lindwood City, and then across the bridge before plunging into the vast mountains and finally speeding along the mountain road, stopping at a mansion on the top of Cloud Peak Mountain.
Cloud Peak Manor was the most luxurious and valuable mansion in Lindwood City.
Costing ten billion dollars!
It was built by emptying a mountain.
Construction began seven years ago and lasted for three years!
It consumed a huge amount of manpower, material, and financial resources.
And the most mysterious thing about this mansion is that no one knows who the owner is.
It is only rumored that the owner of this mansion is very wealthy and powerful.
Some influential figures have even said that those who are invited to the mansion as guests will surely become giants in the future!
That became a truth later.
In four years, the mansion has only invited four people, and these four people have become influential figures in Lindwood City, with a mixed physique and a mixed business community.
For example, George, the richest man in Lindwood City, was once invited to be a guest at the mansion.
The car stopped. William got out of the car and first took a look at the mansion. It was indeed luxurious, all made of white marble, with a lawn of over a thousand square meters and a fountain with a statue of a goddess at the entrance. The entire architectural layout is in Western European style.
In the mansion, there was a guard post every ten meters, with strict defense, comparable to the private mansions of political and business tycoons.
Following the hot-bodied female housekeeper in her twenties, William entered the mansion.
After William entered, all the servants silently retreated.
In the brilliantly lit hall, the chandeliers are all custom-made with Swarovski full diamond crystal.
The sofa chairs, which are also custom-made, have a golden crown logo in the lower corner!
William did not sit but stood in the hall, silently waiting.
Soon, a middle-aged woman dressed in luxury, elegant, and generous attire walked down the crystal spiral staircase from the second floor.
Her fingers were slender, with five diamonds and gemstone rings.
Any one of the rings was valuable.
This was the symbol of wealth.
"Your father once told me that you are his most indebted son, so he even hid from me and entrusted all the property of the Jones family to you." The woman's name is Jessica Miller, the second wife of Mario Torres, the head of the Jones family.
Mario had a total of six wives;
Jessica was Mario's second wife and also the most powerful one in the Jones Family.
Basically, since Mario retired from the stage, Jessica has been in charge of half of The Jones family's business.
Jessica was greedy for power and ambitions.
She was cruel and extremely cunning.
Jessica came from the Miller family, which was the most powerful and influential family in Sunshine Bay City and had many political connections.
So, after marrying Mario, Jessica quickly took over most of the Jones family's business, relying on her family's power.
Jessica was not William's biological mother; William's biological mother was Mario’s first wife, who passed away thirteen years ago.
William was Mario’s eldest son and legitimate son.
"Jessica, is it for the inheritance of the property that you asked me to come so late?" William's mouth curled up, revealing a faint smile.
"William, I know that what happened thirteen years ago hurt you a lot, and your father has always lived in his own guilt, and the other members of the Jones family feel sorry for you. Go back with me and see your father."
Jessica's tone had always given people a cold and icy feeling, making it hard for others to tell what she was thinking.
William shook his head and said, "I forgot about that thing thirteen years ago, and besides, if I go back with you, will I have a chance to come out again?"
Thinking of his mother's death in that fire, William felt a pang of grief in his heart!
Afterwards, he had someone investigate the accident, and all the clues pointed to the woman in front of him, who seemed calm on the outside, but in reality, she had a heart as ruthless as a snake and scorpion.
"Have you really forgotten?" Jessica asked.
The hall suddenly fell silent.
The two looked at each other, both speculating on what the other was thinking.
William chuckled and changed the subject. "Jessica, what brings you here? You must have a purpose."
It's not time to turn against her.
Jessica smiled, sat on the sofa, and said, "Do you think of me as a woman who only cares about personal gain?"
William did not reply, but the cold gaze had already revealed his inner thoughts.
Jessica was born a proud woman. By just sitting on the sofa, she gave people a sense of her unapproachable temperament. Although she was already over forty, she looked like an eighteen-year-old girl in general.
"William, I heard that you got married and had a beautiful daughter. Did you forget the agreement you made with me?" Jessica suddenly said, a faint smile at the corner of her eye, letting William shiver all over.
The original agreement was also a condition that trapped William, a condition reached by William and Jessica.
William was forced to leave the Jones family seven years ago to protect some people.
The corresponding condition is that William, whether dead or alive, cannot reveal any information about his true identity to the outside world.
Otherwise, as long as someone knew, no matter who it was, they would suffer the most cruel revenge from Jessica, including death.
In the eyes of the rich and powerful, death was actually a kind of art.
"Do they know your identity?" Jessica asked again, her tone cold, and the temperature in the hall was thick with tension.
