Chapter 260 Tease
After checking the relevant information about this brand on the phone, William decided to acquire the shares held by Ronan.
He also sent a message to Antony asking for the proportion of Ronan's shares. Soon enough, Antony replied, stating that Ronan only owned 10% of the Tiffany brand company, and it was surprising to find out that Ronan himself was the shareholder. No wonder he was able to recommend Sophia as the brand ambassador with such a high endorsement fee.
After obtaining this information, William was determined to take advantage of this opportunity.
Upon hearing William's words, Sophia, Kylie, and Ronan were all shocked and looked at him in disbelief.
"What are you talking about, you bastard? What do you mean? I won't be the shareholder of the brand company? You better explain yourself!" Ronan shouted at William.
"It's nothing. I just wanted to warn you to stay away from Sophia. Otherwise, I won't be kind to you," William said calmly, but there was a hint of coldness in his tone.
"Who do you think you are, daring to lecture me here? Believe me, I can have someone kill you!" Ronan sneered as he looked William up and down, noticing his cheap clothes, and assumed he was just a poor person from a disadvantaged area.
Feeling that he didn't have to fear a poor person with no money or power, Ronan became even more insolent and cursed at William without any fear.
"Do you want to have someone kill me? Are you sure?" William frowned, then reached out and grabbed Ronan by the throat, lifting him up with force. Ronan's face turned pale with fear, struggling to breathe.
"I can't breathe! Bastard, let me go!" Ronan pleaded, dangling in mid-air, desperately flailing his limbs. He looked miserable and pathetic.
Seeing this, Sophia felt relieved. Ronan had actually tried to harass her, and it infuriated her.
However, Kylie was afraid. She was afraid William would cause serious trouble. After all, Ronan's family still had some power. Although they were not among the top-ranked families, their overall strength was substantial.
But Kylie disliked Ronan as well, especially after his involvement in designing Sophia's endorsement advertisement. So she quickly made a suggestion.
"William, why don't you let him down to catch his breath first and then grab him again later?"
This proposal made William and Sophia look at Kylie with interest. She truly knew how to play the game.
William then raised an eyebrow and said, "Okay, I'll let him catch his breath for now. You guys go ahead and shoot the advertisement. I'll take care of this guy."
"William, do we really have to go for the advertisement?" Sophia hesitated. After finding out that Ronan was the one behind the advertisement, she became even more reluctant.
"It's fine, just go. After all, the breach of contract penalty is two hundred million dollars," William persuaded Sophia.
"Well then, I'll go shoot the advertisement now. Just don't stray too far." Sophia had grown somewhat dependent on William, as if only he could provide her with a sense of security.
"Hmm, I won't stray too far. I'll be right here watching over you," William assured her. He didn't want to be too far away from Sophia in case someone from the Graham family came to kidnap her again. If that happened, he might not be able to catch up in time.
However, Sophia always wore the white bracelet with the tracker, so William could find her if needed. This was the last line of defense.
After Sophia and Kylie left to shoot the advertisement, William grabbed Ronan by the neck and lifted him up again. Seeing William daring to play with him like this, Ronan couldn't contain his anger and cursed at him, "You bastard! Have the guts to put me down so we can have a proper fight."
"Alright, then I'll make sure you submit to me," William said and released his grip. Ronan plummeted from mid-air, but luckily it was only a fifty-centimeter drop. It wasn't a big deal, just a bit embarrassing.
"You bastard, dare to play with me like this? Let me teach you a lesson!" Ronan threatened as he took out a small knife from his pocket. He intended to kill this scum who dared to toy with him in front of Sophia. He was serious.
"You even brought a little knife." William didn't even pay attention to Ronan. His surprise attack was far too slow.
In an instant, William grabbed Ronan's hand holding the knife and twisted it forcefully, instantly dislocating his wrist. The small knife fell from his hand, and Ronan could only howl in pain.
"It hurts, it hurts! I'll make someone kill you!" Ronan cried, vowing in his heart to find someone to kill him.
"Really? Looks like I need to deal with you first!" William smirked, planning to give him another lesson. He immediately seized Ronan's left hand and applied a little force, dislocating that wrist as well.
Ronan let out another miserable cry, his anguished voice reverberating through the sky.
"Will you still have someone kill me?" Suddenly, William grabbed Ronan's leg and threatened him.
"I won't have anyone kill you! I was wrong, I was wrong!" Ronan immediately burst into tears, begging for mercy.
"Good to know you realized your mistake. But how will you compensate for attacking me just now?" William picked up the small knife from the ground, a hint of coldness in his voice.
"That stab didn't actually hit you. Do I still need to compensate?" Ronan replied with a mournful face, feeling like he had kicked a steel plate.
"That's called attempted murder. I'll go report you, and you'll end up in prison for at least eight years. Is that serious enough for you?" William waved the weapon in front of Ronan.
Ronan initially wanted to say that he wasn't afraid of being sued, but when he saw William move the knife towards his crotch, he immediately surrendered.
"I give up. How much compensation do you want to let me go?" Ronan felt extremely unlucky today.
"I don't want money either. Didn't you say you owned 10% of Tiffany brand company? Transfer those shares to me, and I'll pretend this never happened. Otherwise, get ready to go to jail!" William pointed the knife towards Ronan's crotch, his threat all too obvious.
"You're too ruthless!" Ronan gritted his teeth, feeling that William's methods were too sinister.
"You were about to stab me with a knife. Asking for your shares as compensation is an act of kindness. Otherwise, I can stab you too, and we'll call it even," William said as he held the knife and approached Ronan's crotch.
Ronan was instantly terrified, realizing that without this thing, he could not have any fun with women in the future.
"Alright, I agree. I agree with you."
