Chapter 48 You’ve Landed Yourself in Trouble
He angrily pointed to William and yelled. “Take a close look at him, Sophie! He’s a criminal! Do you really want someone like that as your boyfriend?”
“I like him! Furthermore, this is none of your business!” Sophie rolled her eyes at Zach as she placed her arms on William’s shoulder on purpose, hoping to aggravate Zach even more.
And that worked. Zach was so enraged that he was about to blow a gasket. “William Barrett, Mr. Wright was kind enough to allow you to attend the gathering this time because you were his previous bunkmate. If I were you, I wouldn’t have the face to come today!”
In response, William raised his brows and muttered coldly, I’m not interested in stooping so low to speak with you. However, if you continue to get on my nerves, I don’t mind sending you to your doom.”
“Send me to my doom, eh? Who do you think you are to do that?” Zach let out a cold sneer and continued, “You’re just a prisoner. Who gave you the audacity to send me to my doom? Is it because you were once Mr. Wright’s bunkmate?”
He then sarcastically laughed as he growled, “I’ll have you know that after having some drinks with Mr. Wright last night, I now have a good relationship with him! You’re just a convict who will irritate Mr. Wright when he sees you. If I were you, I’d get lost right away to avoid further embarrassing myself!”
One of the people nearby chose that moment to speak up. “He is right! Mr. Wright has told us that he will hand the renovation of his various buildings to us!”
“Do you know how much the profits are to renovate a building?” Zach asked with a smug expression on his face.
Raising one of his fingers, he continued. “At least 150 thousand!”
William, on the other hand, just stared at Zach as if he were a fool. “You might have remembered it incorrectly. Aidan will never hand any of his projects to you.”
“Are you saying this because you’re jealous of me?” Zach mockingly inquired. “Mr. Wright has already promised me that! With this, I’ll be able to earn 700 thousand in three months!”
At this point, Sophie couldn’t help but interrupt the conversation. “What does that have to do with William?” she asked.
“Everything!” Zach replied with a devious smile on his face. “I want to see his envious look!”
At this moment, the door opened and Aidan entered with a beautiful and fashionable woman.
Everyone went up to him when they saw him enter, with Zach taking the lead. Smiling, he said, “Mr. Wright, you’re finally here”
However, Aidan didn’t even look at Zach before walking straight to William. “Pardon me for not welcoming you here sooner, William. I went to pick up one of my friends,” he said smilingly.
“You don’t need to be so respectful to me, Aidan,” William responded. “We’re friends.”
Everyone was stunned upon hearing that. What is happening? Why is Mr. Wright calling William by his name as if they are close?”

Zach was shocked as well and a bad feeling arose in his heart. His sixth sense was indeed accurate. The next thing he heard was William asking, “Aidan, have you handed over the renovation projects for several of your buildings to Zach?
“Yes,” Aidan replied with a chuckle. “Since we’re classmates, I just appointed him to do the work.”
William then pointed to Zach and the two men standing next to him. “Are they the people you’ve appointed?” he asked, to which Aidan nodded. “Yes,”
“Renovation is a big thing. I believe you should hire a professional firm to do that.”
When Aidan heard that, he immediately sensed there was something more to it. With a solemn expression, he looked at Zach and asked, “Zach, have you offended William?”
Sophie was surprised by Aidan’s respect for William, but she also found it intriguing. Hence, she chimed in and said, “Zach had repeatedly mocked William for being a convict and even told him to get lost. He’s so conceited.”
That rendered Zach so helpless that he was about to cry. “Mr. Wright, I didn’t”
However, before he could finish his sentence, Aidan’s expression darkened and he roared, “Get out! Your men and you are not welcome here.”
Zach was about to say something when two strong men dashed towards him from the side and began dragging him and the other two men out. No matter how much they begged for mercy, Aidan didn’t even spare them a glance.
“Don’t be angry. William. I forgot you had a beef with that rascal, Aidan muttered with a bitter smile on his face.
William, however, remained emotionless. He forgot about my falling out with Zach, huh?
The beautiful and fashionable lady standing behind Aidan opened her mouth at this moment. “Hello, William. I am Nicole. Aidan has told me so much about you. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you today,” she said, holding out her snowy–white hand.
William stood up and shook Nicole’s hand, which felt soft and delicate to him. Her red slim–fit dress and high heels accentuated her curves, making her look stunning.
“William, Nicole is the friend I picked up earlier,” Aidan smilingly said.
Nicole let out a warm smile too. “I came to Justford to deal with some business, so I dropped by and paid Aidan a visit.”
Just as she was finishing her sentence, a young man strode in. When he saw Sophie, his eyes lit up as he exclaimed, I’ve been looking for you, Sophie.”
It was Denson Hyde, the son of a wealthy family. He appeared to be as high–profile as always.
When he entered, he was taken aback by Nicole, whom he thought was much more beautiful than Sophie. Thus, he asked smilingly, “Aidan, who is this lovely lady?”
Aidan chuckled as he stated, “Mr. Hyde, we have something to discuss among us. Please take a seat somewhere else for the time being.”

However, Denson refused to budge. “Is there anything I can’t be a part of?” he asked, thereafter
immediately sit beside Sophic.
Sophie quickly leaned in close to William as she muttered, “Don’t pester me anymore, Denson. I already have a boyfriend.”
That took Denson aback. Frowning, he looked at William and asked, “Sophie, are you serious? Isn’t this the NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
who was expelled from school after being sentenced to prison? Are you telling me that this guy is your boyfriend?”
same guy
Nicole was surprised to hear that. This guy has been in prison?
On the other hand, Sophie simply sneered. “What’s the problem with that? I admire men who have served time in jail. They embody the spirit of brotherhood.
That angered Denson so much that he began to laugh. “Sophie, are you being serious?”
“Of course, I am!” Sophie responded.
Denson stood up again, this time grimly pointing at William and saying, ‘Rascal, you’d better get out of here by the count of three. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you’re back in jail within the hour!”
He was so arrogant as he spoke that his finger almost touched William’s nose.
Seeing the matter escalate, Aidan frowned as he drew Denson further away. “Please, Mr. Hyde. Stop this for my sake. William is a good friend of mine.”
However, Denson shook Aidan’s hand off and said coldly. They have no idea who I am, but you certainly do, don’t you? I don’t care. I’m getting rid of him today. Nobody is going to be able to stop me!”
That pur Aidan in a spot. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out in the
end.
Denson then pointed to William once more. “Are you not leaving, kiddo?” While speaking, he took an ashtray from the table, intending to smash it on William’s head.
However, the moment he raised his hand, William kicked him, sending him flying to the floor. William then approached Denson and clutched the latter’s collar with his left hand, while his right hand began slapping Denson’s face repeatedly.
After perhaps seven or eight slaps, William asked, “Are you awake now?”
Denson yelled angrily in response, “How dare you hit me”
Without even waiting for him to finish his sentence, William slapped him again before asking, “Answer me. Are you finally sober now?”
Denson was so terrified that he didn’t dare to say anything else and merely glared angrily at William.
Sophie was frightened as well. Her eyes were wide open as she stared at what was going on, not expecting things to reach this point. “Stop hitting him. Let him gol” she said, grabbing William’s arm.
“Didn’t
you say he is courting you and that makes you annoyed?” William looked at Sophie and asked.
“Are you dumb?” She became enraged as she muttered, “I’m just agitating him on purpose, so he’ll care

more about me!”
When he heard that, he sneered coldly. “Really? You’ve truly implicated your boyfriend then,” he commented while throwing Denson to the ground.
Denson immediately jumped to his feet. Pointing at William, he yelled, “Just you wait!” With that, he turned around and walked away.
With a dark expression, Aidan stated, “William, you just got yourself into a lot of trouble.”
