Chapter 106 Let Him Stay Here
Julian's calculations were insignificant to William. He thought his foolproof plan would work, but in the end, it was reversed.
Not only was he unable to seek revenge, but he also lost fifty billion dollars in assets overnight. He didn't know how he would explain this to his family.
That night, Julian and Jack hastily left the film crew and returned to the city to strategize.
Meanwhile, William expressed his gratitude to Louis.
"Mr. Brown, I'll take my leave now. If you need anything in the West district, feel free to call on me anytime." As dawn broke, Louis bid farewell to William.
"Thank you, I'll speak highly of you to Boss Jones," said William, not forgetting his promises.
"Thank you, Mr. Brown. I'll take my leave now!" After saying this, Louis left with nearly thirty subordinates in his car.
William watched several vans disappear into the distance and couldn't help but feel a slight sense of relief. Thankfully, Louis helped him this time, otherwise, he might have really failed.
"William, who are these people? How did they suddenly appear overnight?" Sophia suddenly emerged from behind William, curious about where all these people came from in just one night.
"They're my friends. Did you sleep well last night?" William turned around and asked.
"Not really. I dreamt that someone was screaming in pain. It was very distressing," Sophia frowned and said.
It seemed that Julian's agonizing screams last night had affected Sophia's sleep. Fortunately, she didn't get up to see what was happening and thought it was just a dream.
The film crew continued to work efficiently, while William, with nothing to do, decided to learn martial arts with Sharon.
After experiencing so many battles, William realized his weakness and knew he would likely encounter more in the future. It would be beneficial to learn some martial arts. He couldn't always have Sharon by his side, or he would have no privacy at all.
This virgin forest was the perfect place to learn martial arts, with its fresh and natural air.
"My family's martial arts emphasize agile movements, quickness, and powerful punches. Familiarize yourself with the techniques first, and then we can work on building strength," Sharon taught him earnestly. She even had a bold idea in mind.
If she could recruit William, a wealthy noble heir, into her family, her master would surely praise her. Maybe he would even invest in promoting their family's martial arts, bringing more recognition to their family.
"Is this how I throw a punch?" William followed Sharon's hand movements and threw a punch.
"Yes, that's right." Sharon was delighted to see that William understood so quickly.
For the whole day, William followed Sharon to practice boxing, sweating profusely and panting, while Sharon didn't even change her breathing. It was evident that there was a huge difference in their stamina.
"Tomorrow, we'll start running for exercise at 6 a.m. Let's begin with a one-kilometer run! We'll gradually increase it later," Sharon suggested.
William nodded. Since he wanted to learn some martial arts, he naturally had to listen carefully to Sharon's instructions!
In the following days, William gradually increased his running distance and worked on improving his stamina as Sharon guided him. As for the boxing techniques, William learned them even faster.
In total, there were only eight moves, so he practiced them repeatedly to strengthen his skills. The next step was real combat.
After ten days, both William's strength and stamina had significantly improved, and with his boxing skills, it was not a problem for him to take on two or three small-time opponents.
At the same time, the filming was finally completed. A tired Sophia got into the car, and Kylie, William, and Sharon followed suit.
"I can finally go home and sleep comfortably!" After staying in the wilderness for so long, Sophia longed for her own big bed at home.
"Are you going to take on this kind of show in the future? You've lost a lot of weight these past few days," Kylie sympathetically remarked. She had also suffered a lot, both in terms of food and sleep. She couldn't help but resent William.
"Tomorrow, I'll take you all to the West district's food street for a meal. My treat. You can eat whatever you want," William said, wanting to reward Sophia for her hard work. Moreover, judging from the content she posted on Instagram, Sophia seemed to enjoy good food.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the tired Sophia perked up.
"You better not go back on your word," Sophia said with a twinkle in her eyes.
"You better bring more money tomorrow, or she'll bankrupt you with her eating." Kylie reminded, while secretly thinking that tomorrow she must make him spend all his money to make up for the suffering she had experienced in the past ten days.
"Don't worry about it, eat to your heart's content," William said with a smile.
Crown Villa
Finally, after more than ten days of separation, William and Sharon returned home, feeling that this place was the most welcoming.
"Sir, Sharon, you're back. Do you want to take a shower?" Wendy couldn't help but suggest when she noticed the strange smell on them.
"Of course, we do. We haven't had a proper shower in the wilderness," William replied, feeling uncomfortable too. After all, the conditions were primitive in the wild, and it was impossible to take a shower every day.
Sharon felt the same way behind him.
"I'll go and run the water for you!" Wendy offered to go to the bathroom and prepare a bath for them.
"Let me handle it. Go and deliver the acquisition contracts I brought to Antony for him to handle the acquisition procedures," William said, instructing Sharon to transfer the dozen or so purchase contracts to Wendy. Wendy was slightly stunned when she saw them.
"Sir, are you going out to shoot a film or for a business negotiation?" Wendy opened her mouth, unable to believe what she was seeing.
"Both!" William smiled, then added, "Before I leave, make some cooking notes for me and help me pack a few clothes. I'll be away for a few days."
William planned to move to Sophia's place for a few days. She would be leaving in half a month, so he wanted to spend more time with her. He would cook for her, win her over, and take the opportunity to talk to her about calling off the engagement.
"Alright, Sir!" Wendy obediently nodded and quickly got to work.
In the evening, William arrived at Ring Villa again, dragging a suitcase. There were still many security guards patrolling outside, but their numbers had greatly decreased. It seemed that Adrien had improved efficiency.
William didn't need to greet the guards this time, he simply went in. It appeared that Adrien had already instructed the guards at the entrance.
Arriving at Sophia's villa once again, William rang the doorbell.
After waiting for a long time, Kylie, wearing an apron, finally came out to open the door. Seeing it was William, she looked at him with disdain and disgust and said, "Why are you here again?"
As she spoke, her gaze fell on the suitcase in William's hands. Was this person planning to stay here permanently?
"I'm here to cook for you guys and, by the way, hide from Julian's pursuit," William said with a smile, finding two excellent excuses. Without waiting for Kylie's consent, he pushed past her and walked in.
"I haven't agreed to let you in yet." Kylie was becoming annoyed with William.
"Aunt, let him stay here for half a month. Otherwise, we won't even be able to eat the food you cook!" Sophia's voice came from inside. In front of her was a bowl of blackish fried eggs that looked like a lump of poop. Just one look made it seem unappetizing.
"Okay." In order to have something to eat, Kylie reluctantly agreed to let William stay there.
