A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 183

“Lara called your expatriating marketing manager, Peter Mollison, very often…”

William did not say anything when hearing Peter’s name; though being surprised with it, he still appeared to be peaceful just then and asked, “Please check his background. I need to know the reason.”

Hanging off the call, he remained calm with an idea in his mind.

Liam asked, “Have you got any information?”

“Not yet.” William denied and asked more, “Liam, what’s friend?”

Liam did not understand why William asked such a question. He answered after thinking for a while, “Friend is someone you can call him at midnight; he will firstly care about what happened to you and after knowing you are fine, he will start to complain why you call him late at night! Friend is someone who can give up anything in the world for his lover, but he also can give up her for you. Friend is someone who laughs at you loudly when you feel embarrassed but definitely gives you a hand after all. Friend is someone who dares not to die for you as well as someone who would love to be drunk with you overnight.”

William said quietly, “If your friend betrays…”

Liam answered seriously, “He will not be my friend anymore!”

“He might have some troubles. I believe him.” William said, “We are getting there. Park the car please and wait for me.”

Liam worried about him and asked, “Are you ok to go alone?”

William said with a smile, “She doesn’t know I am here. Maybe safe. But please take my body away if I were dead.”

“You have to be kidding!” Liam slapped William and said, “If she did it, I would let her pay back!”

William nodded; he knew Liam was a true friend to him. As to Peter, he did not believe Peter whom he knew for years betrayed him.

Lara rented an old condo in G City.

William got off the car and walked to her condo. After knocking the door, he heard the familiar voice, “Who’s that please?”

Lara did not expect William to come to see her. She was shocked as soon as opening the door to see him.

William said coldly, “Long time no see, Lara!”

Lara was overwhelmed by his voice and opened her eyes wide. She did not feel at ease to see William who she would not forget for all her life.

“Hi, Mr. Rowland?” Lara called William a minute later and watched him. From his look, she was not sure about what he knew, or he had found her secret?

William walked closer and looked down on her without any special reaction, just saying, “Lara, how are you?”

“Thanks for asking. I’m fine.” Lara controlled her mind; she should realize earlier that the day would come. She asked, “What can I do for you today? In fact, I am going out.”

William came inside the room, “Am I not welcome?”

Lara had to allow him in. This was a clean condo which was probably just tidied up.

She closed the door and turned around to see the tall man. He was her favorite and familiar man; he greatly obsessed her but then left her. It was him who stopped her from going back to H City.

Lara tried to ask William, “Mr. Rowland, you are here for…”

William turned back and pinched her chin so hard, “Lara, you are really a big girl to do something. Now, tell me why.”

Lara avoided looking at his eyes and said, “I don’t understand what you are talking about.”

William was watching her angrily and Lara could feel his breath and catch his anger from his eyes. William asked, “Lara, I wasn’t nice to you?”

“Mr. Rowland is always a man of your words. Why did you say it?” The weaker Lara looked up at William who was staring at her. She believed William should get to know she told something to the newspaper publisher.

However, he should not know there was another partner involved.

Lara intended to destroy The Rowland Group. Although not getting any benefit from the plan, she would neither get anything from doing nothing.

William smiled slightly and looked some of scaring.

After a while, William pushed her down to the sofa and said, “Stop, Lara.”

Lara sat still to say, “Mr. Rowland, I didn’t catch what you said.”

“Good! Lara, good girl! You really hate me?” William said with sneer.

“Are you kidding? I have kept my promise to you, not going back to H City anymore. Today you come here to see your ex-girlfriend? Or Sherry failed to make you happy so you miss me? Well, if you really want to fuck me now, I will not say no. Don’t waste the time for some excuse. You can come now!”

By then, Lara started to take off her dress.

William narrowed his eyes. He said, “Lara, you prefer humiliating yourself to stopping your plan?”

Just that moment, Lara took off all the clothes and stood in front of William nakedly, “Mr. Rowland, am I still good-looking after long time no see?”
