Chapter 110 An Unexpected Enemy
William thought that Sophia and the others were just joking about waking up early. Considering how they loved their sleep, they would never be able to wake up early. But he never expected that they were serious about it.
Around six in the morning, William, who was sleeping on the couch, was awakened by them.
"William, wake up. It's time for us to eat." Sophia pinched William's nose, trying to wake him up.
Feeling his nose being pinched in his dreams, William felt uncomfortable and instinctively reached out and grabbed Sophia's hand.
"Ah." Sophia immediately let out a cry and tried to quickly withdraw her hand from William's grip, but he held onto it.
"William, let go of me." Sophia was no match for William's strength. After being caught by him, she couldn't free herself. Fortunately, William woke up quickly.
Only then did he realize that this wasn't a dream, but reality.
He awkwardly released Sophia's hand, but her tender and fair hand was still quite unforgettable.
"Why did you pinch my nose?" William said awkwardly.
"To wake you up, you lazy pig." After retracting her hand, Sophia's face blushed slightly. It was the first time she had been held by a man like this.
"Wake me up?" William subconsciously checked the time on his phone, only to find that it was just after six in the morning. "Why wake me up so early? I'm still sleepy."
William yawned as he spoke.
"Well, you said there's a 24-hour food street, right? Let's go quickly!" When it came to food, Sophia immediately forgot about what happened earlier and became energetic.
Meanwhile, Kylie also came downstairs, looking exquisite.
"William, hurry up and freshen up! We're all ready!" Kylie reminded eagerly.
William sighed. These two were always thinking about food. No wonder Sophia's Instagram was filled with food from all over the world.
"Then wait for me!" After quickly freshening up, William was pushed out of the villa by the two girls, who seemed very eager.
They were still wearing masks, but even with her amazing looks and figure, Sophia, wearing a mask, was still breathtakingly beautiful.
Mandro Street, this was William's second time coming here.
He had a dog-shaped cake worth several thousand dollars here last time, so he felt that the food here was definitely top-notch, much more exquisite than the street food at the food court.
After getting off the car, the three of them walked quickly into Mandro Street.
Although it was only around seven in the morning, there were still many people here, most of them having breakfast.
"So many food shops! Our stomachs happen to be empty now. Let's find a place to eat." Kylie couldn't resist the temptation of entering the exquisitely decorated food shops she saw.
"This place should be a bit more upscale than the food street we went to last night. Let me treat you today, you can choose whatever you want," Sophia said with a smile.
As she looked at the beautiful food shops lining the street, her eyes sparkled. Money was not a concern for her as she had plenty at home, not to mention the earnings from her own concerts.
While talking, Sophia grabbed Kylie's hand and headed toward the nearest food shop. Judging from the interior design, this particular shop had a European flair. The customers coming in and out were mostly handsome men and beautiful women, dressed in various designer brands, unlike William who usually wore clothes from street vendors.
As William entered, many attractive customers dining inside couldn't help but sneer at his shabby appearance. But William paid no attention and followed Sophia inside.
"I'll have this mousse cake, the pineapple bun, and the cheesecake," Sophia ordered when they sat down, selecting numerous pastries. Kylie also ordered several pastries, and she added William's order as well.
William had expected a relatively calm morning, but to his surprise, just as he took a bite of cake, he noticed two familiar figures entering the shop. It was Jason and Roy, Michelle's cousins' former boyfriends.
However, after William tricked them, the two couples had broken up. But today, standing next to them was a distinguished-looking person. As soon as they entered, their eyes instinctively scanned the shop, immediately locking onto William, who was sitting near the window.
"What a small world, Roy. Do you see who that is?" Jason nudged Roy with his hand, and soon Roy noticed William, his face slightly changing.
"Isn't that William?" Roy had always held a grudge against William for tricking him last time, causing him to lose a significant amount of money.
He had been wanting revenge, but he couldn't find William until now. Encountering him today naturally meant he could finally take his revenge.
Moreover, they were accompanied by someone. It was Jovan Ashford, the heir to the Ashford family, one of the four wealthiest families in New York. His family was well-known among the upper-class society, and anyone from a prestigious family had to please and respect him upon meeting.
In addition, they also noticed that William was dining with two masked beauties, which made them envy and resent him even more.
With these thoughts in mind, the three of them walked toward William with a challenging look in their eyes. "William, we didn't expect to see you here. Do you still remember me?" Jason's tone was unfriendly as he started speaking.
A hint of provocation filled the air.
After hearing the voice, William turned his head and saw Jason and Roy. With a faint smile, he said, "Remember you? Of course, I do. I remember everyone who has given me a gift. So, why have you come to me this time? To give me another gift?"
Bringing up the past was like humiliating them, and Jason's face immediately turned pale.
"Don't get too cocky. I'll make you regret it. Do you know this person beside me? He's from the Ashford family, Jovan."
Jason introduced Jovan grandly, but Jovan's attention was entirely focused on Sophia, who was sitting opposite William, with a hunting-like gleam in his eyes.
"Beautiful lady, can I have your contact information?" Jovan's gaze was indeed sharp. With just a glance, he recognized that the beautiful woman sitting across from William looked a lot like the famous star Sophia.
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested!" Sophia rejected him directly.
This made Jovan unhappy. Jason and Roy also noticed the beautiful woman sitting opposite William. Although she was wearing a mask, both her figure and temperament resembled Sophia, which surprised them. When did New York gain such a beauty?
No wonder Jovan immediately set his sights on her.
"I come from the Ashford family. Being friends with me comes with many benefits." Jovan didn't give up and tried to entice her with the influence of his family.
However, Sophia didn't respond, while Kylie became a little impatient. "What are you pretending to be high and mighty for? Don't even mention New York's four major families. Even Canada's four major families mean nothing to me. Go play somewhere else and don't disturb me while I'm eating."
"Why are you stepping in when I'm talking to this beautiful lady? How dare you speak to me like that?" Jovan was used to being arrogant and naturally couldn't tolerate others talking to him in this tone. Kylie belittling the Ashford family made him even more furious.
"You... Apologize to me, or else you'll regret it." Kylie wasn't afraid of these spoiled kids from wealthy families. Considering the influence of their own Smith family in the country, Kylie didn't really care about such small families.
But she was afraid of those street thugs who didn't play by the rules and didn't know about the Smith family, as there would be no way to use influence to suppress them.
"Am I hearing correctly? This person actually wants me to apologize to her? I've grown up all these years and have never apologized to anyone." Jovan behaved arrogantly and haughtily, completely ignoring Kylie.
"You come out, I want to see how you'll make me regret it."
Jovan told Jason and Roy to pull Kylie out, with an arrogant and domineering attitude.
"What are you doing? It's broad daylight. I'll call the police," Kylie said, her face turning pale at the sight of them about to use force.
"If you dare to call the police, my uncle is a policeman. Let's see if he arrests me or you," Jovan said with a confident expression.
Jason and Roy, seeing this, became even more reckless and directly tried to pull Kylie out. However, at that moment, William intervened and grabbed Jason and Roy by their arms.
