Chapter 261 What to Do with Such High Popularity?
Under William's intimidation, Ronan ultimately yielded and agreed, but he secretly harbored his hatred for him, vowing to settle the score one day.
"Not bad, not bad." William was quite satisfied with his attitude and immediately sent a message to Antony, instructing him to send the transfer contract for Tiffany brand company's shares. He also included his current location in the message.
After doing all this, William sat down and waited for the contract to be delivered, while watching Sophia shoot the advertisement.
Ronan, on the other hand, gritted his teeth and stayed by William's side, afraid to move. Both of his hands were dislocated, causing excruciating pain whenever he made the slightest movement.
Sophia was shooting an advertisement for a moisturizing cream, which indeed required an outdoor setting. The scenery here was beautiful, making it perfect for the shoot.
However, Sophia's popularity had been soaring recently. When she took off her sunglasses and mask, the passing tourists recognized her instantly. Many of them gathered around her even before she finished her makeup, becoming excited and enthusiastic.
"Look, is that Sophia?"
"It really looks like her. She's so beautiful, truly mesmerizing!"
"She must be shooting an advertisement. Let's ask for her autograph later!"
William frowned upon seeing this. With so many tourists present, it would be troublesome if someone from the Graham family managed to slip in! He immediately shouted loudly toward Kylie, who was nearby.
"Kylie, come over here and keep an eye on Ronan. I'll go protect Sophia."
Kylie furrowed her brows, displeased with how William ordered her around. However, she still walked over because it was necessary to have someone on guard.
But she didn't believe that William could handle it.
"Can you handle so many tourists by yourself?" Kylie asked.
"I have my own ways. You come and watch Ronan so he doesn't run away," William said before walking toward Sophia. As her bodyguard, it was time to step in.
"I doubt you can come up with any solutions by yourself!" Kylie couldn't help but be disdainful. However, she was still worried that Sophia would be harassed by fans crossing the security line for autographs or photos. She had seen this happen before.
William was also worried. Even though there were security lines surrounding the filming location. it couldn't guarantee that crazed fans wouldn't cross the line and harass Sophia.
Fortunately, this was the Sullivan family's property, which naturally belonged to the Brown family as well.
With so many tourists, William definitely couldn't handle it alone. He quickly called Ralph and asked him to bring all the idle and ready security personnel here to protect Sophia's advertisement shoot.
After doing all this, William went straight to Sophia's side, ready to protect her at any moment.
"William, more and more people are coming. Shouldn't we go back now?" Sophia said with concern. She had seen this situation before, where fans became too fanatical and crossed the security line to surround her. Once she got trapped, it would be difficult to get out.
If people from the Graham family mixed in among them, the situation would be even worse.
"It's okay, I'm here. Just relax," William reassured her and immediately urged the director to start shooting and leave the security work to him.
The director knew they couldn't delay and quickly called people over to start filming.
As more and more visitors arrived, the security line was surrounded by layers of people inside and outside, and in the crowded situation, it was easy to break through the line.
However, the security personnel sent by Ralph arrived on time. There were no fewer than a hundred of them, and once they rushed in, they successfully held off the fans.
The on-site crew, including Kylie and Sophia, were stunned by the sudden arrival of the security personnel.
"These are the security guards from the scenic area. But who called them here?" Kylie was surprised.
"It couldn't be that poor William, right? He doesn't have such capability!" Kylie looked at William not far away and soon dismissed her guess.
"Now that the security is maintained by the guards, you can film peacefully, but it's better to do it quickly," William said, finally giving the green light for filming.
The director urged for the next shot.
"I got it!" The director was professional and quickly finished shooting the advertisement.
An hour later, with the efforts of the crew, Sophia completed nearly all the advertisement shots. She then put her mask and sunglasses back on, ready to leave. However, seeing the crowd of tourists and fans surrounding them, she felt overwhelmed.
"William, what do we do now? It seems like we're trapped and can't get out," Sophia asked.
"It's simple. I'll take you on an exciting adventure," William replied, glancing at the bay in front of them. Since they couldn't go by land, they could try taking the water route. They just needed to find a less crowded spot along the riverbank to get on a boat.
"An exciting adventure?" Sophia looked confused, not understanding what William meant.
"You'll see soon enough. But first, let me grab something." William smiled and walked toward Ronan, as the person Antony sent had brought the acquisition agreement.
After receiving the agreement, William handed it to Ronan and said casually, "Sign it."
"What is this? Why should I sign anything? My wrists are dislocated!" Ronan tried to resist.
"Didn't I tell you before? You won't be a shareholder of Tiffany Brand Company anymore. Isn't this what I meant? As for your dislocated wrists, it's simple to fix," William replied, and with a forceful move, he corrected Ronan's two dislocated wrists.
Ronan immediately let out a scream of pain.
"Sign it quickly, or I'll break your hands," William threatened.
Faced with William's dominance, Ronan felt hopeless and reluctantly signed his name on the agreement for the transfer of shares.
"Well done. You can leave now, but don't ever think of having any ideas about Sophia again. Otherwise, next time, it won't be just your wrists but something more important that gets disabled," William said coldly.
"Okay, I understand," Ronan gritted his teeth and replied. He couldn't let this humiliation slide. He had never suffered a loss like this before, but he knew he couldn't defeat William on his own, so he had to endure it for now.
Then, he stood up and ran into the crowd.
With the agreement safely tucked into his pocket, William felt satisfied. He immediately called Ralph, asking him to bring the speedboat to pick him up.
After completing everything, William returned to Sophia's side. Kylie had also joined them. They looked at the sea of tourists, feeling a bit helpless. Sometimes, having too much popularity isn't a good thing.
"How do we get out of here? There are so many people, and more are coming from behind. It's more crowded than ever," Kylie said hopelessly.
"It's almost time, just wait a little longer. The speedboat will arrive soon," William reassured them. "We will leave soon."
"You're bragging again. How can you get out with so many people around? Unless you ask the security guards to make way," Kylie said impatiently.
Asking the security guards to make way was something William had considered, but he was worried that if they passed through the crowd of tourists, it wouldn't be good in case someone from the Graham family attacked them. It would be safer to leave by water.
"I have a faster and more thrilling way to leave this place," William said with a smirk.
"I want to see what you can do." Kylie thought William was just boasting.
However, she soon got slapped in the face. A luxurious speedboat stopped on the water in front of them. It was the most luxurious speedboat in the resort and had enough space for the three of them.
"Let's go, we'll take the waterway. Isn't it faster and more exciting?" William said with a faint smile.
Kylie was dumbfounded, wondering how William managed to get the luxurious speedboat for them.
