Chapter 345 Shutting Him Down Within a Month
According to the information Waverly provided, the biggest force behind the Denckman family was Earth Guild, established by Ryan. This surprised William. Moreover, Earth Guild has covertly supported many aristocratic families on Long Island, indicating that Ryan must have ambitious intentions.
"I didn't expect Ryan to extend his reach to the aristocratic families," William murmured with a furrowed brow. "It seems like Ryan has big ambitions."
"However, if I want to beat Ryan, I still need to continue improving my own strength," William thought urgently. Only by continuously enhancing his own power can he defeat Ryan.
Immediately, William thought of taking Michelle and them to Euler Hill today. There was no benefit in staying here for them, and at Euler Hill, William could also take care of Michelle.
"Michelle, let's go to Euler Hill later! I've already arranged the accommodation, and there's a hot spring too," William said, turning to Michelle while driving.
"Alright, I'll go pack my luggage then!" Michelle was looking forward to this vacation with William. It had been a while since they last had a trip together.
William and Michelle got out of the car and before they entered, they saw Julia running out of the villa with red eyes, clearly having just cried. It seemed that she had just had an argument with her father.
"Julia, why are you crying and running out? Is Uncle pressuring you again?" Michelle approached Julia with concern when she saw her crying.
"Michelle." Julia found comfort in seeing Michelle and immediately threw herself into her arms, crying desperately. Faced with the pressure from the Denckman family, and her father, she felt powerless to resist.
"Don't cry. Let me take you to Euler Hill for a vacation to relax. We can also enjoy the hot springs," Michelle comforted her, wiping away her tears.
"Go on a vacation to Euler Hill? Alright, I'll go back and pack my bags." Julia sniffed and agreed without hesitation. She didn't want to stay at home anymore, nor did she want to see Oscar. Going on a vacation seemed perfect now.
"I'll accompany you and pack my bags too!" Michelle held Julia's hand and they walked back to the villa together.
William, feeling worried, followed them inside.
Indeed, Oscar was still angry at the moment, and his expression was not pleasant. When he saw Julia going back to pack her bags, he became even angrier, thinking that she was running away from home.
"Why are you packing your bags? Are you planning to run away from home?" Oscar reproached Julia, pointing at her.
"Yes, I am planning to run away from home and never come back." Julia, also angered by her father, directly followed his words and said that she wanted to run away from home.
This made Oscar even angrier, but fortunately, Michelle quickly came out to explain.
"Uncle, Julia and I are going to Euler Hill for a vacation to relax. We'll be back in a few days."
"Going on a vacation?" Oscar's anger slightly subsided upon hearing this. He then noticed that William was also there, so he couldn't continue arguing with his daughter, disciplining her in front of outsiders would be inappropriate.
"William, you're here too! Stay and have a meal together!" Oscar showed courtesy to William, but it was purely out of respect for Antony. Otherwise, as a poor man from the impoverished district, he wouldn't pay attention to him.
"No, I'll take them out to eat. By the way, I heard that Uncle intends to marry Julia to Damian, is that true?" William asked calmly.
"Yes, last week I took Julia to attend a reception in the West district, and Damian happened to be there. He was immediately captivated by Julia and came to propose just a few days ago." Oscar talked about this matter.
With a proud look on his face, knowing that once he could climb up to the Denckman family, his business would become much easier.
"You agreed to the Denckman family's marriage proposal?" William didn't expect Oscar to intentionally fish for a wealthy son-in-law. Otherwise, why would he attend the party with his daughter?
"Why not? The Denckman family has industries all over the country. It is Julia's honor to be connected to such a family. I don't know how many girls would want to marry into the Denckman family. Moreover, the Denckman family has already agreed to offer HL Plaza in the West District as a bride price, which is worth a billion dollars."
Oscar seemed to have money in his eyes, or you could say he was being practical!
"I heard that the man has had three wives and two children. If Julia goes there, wouldn't she be jumping into a fire pit?" William frowned.
"How can you say that she's jumping into a fire pit? I'm giving her a chance to join a true wealthy family. How many girls would envy her? Besides, she will have a better life in the future." Oscar didn't think he was doing anything wrong at all. In fact, he felt that this was something to be happy about.
William couldn't help but shake his head. It seemed like society was so materialistic. As long as one had money and power, it didn't matter how many times they've been married or how many children they have. Since Oscar was so practical, then he would defeat him with practicality.
"Uncle, I advise you to reconsider. The Denckman family will soon disappear on Long Island, and their industries will be acquired by others. By then, if Julia goes there, she won't be enjoying a comfortable life but enduring hardships. Additionally, their promise of HL Plaza to you will just be empty words."
After saying this, William turned to help Michelle with the luggage, leaving Oscar with a puzzled expression.
"What do you mean? How is that possible? William, you're just talking nonsense. The Denckman family is a big and longstanding family on Long Island, and they have mysterious forces supporting them. How could they possibly decline?"
Oscar didn't believe a word of what William said.
"Whether it is true or not, you will find out soon enough! I just hope you won't put all your chips on the Denckman family. Otherwise, you will lose badly, and your daughter will be affected as well."
After helping Michelle with a suitcase, William turned to remind him once again.
"William, are you unable to tolerate the thought of my daughter marrying someone better than Michelle?" Oscar, noticing William's repeated warnings about the Denckman family, suspected his intentions.
William frowned slightly, feeling somewhat annoyed. "I was just speaking the truth. Within a month, my words will be proven right!" William shook his head, having already decided to trap Ryan, the person behind the Denckman family, by using the attack on them as leverage.
"Hmph, are you willing to bet?" Oscar felt it necessary to teach this jerk a lesson. This guy just didn't know any better, and it was about time someone taught him.
"What's there to be afraid of? If the Denckman family doesn't go bankrupt within a month, I'll have Boss Jones invest another hundred million dollars in you. But if the Denckman family really goes under within a month, I want 60% of your assets," William replied. Although he looked down on the shares in Oscar's hands, this move would shut him up for good and make sure he worked according to William's wishes from now on.
"Alright, I'll take the bet." Oscar couldn't believe that the Denckman family, which had been established on Long Island for a hundred years, would go bankrupt within a month. It was definitely impossible.
