Marcus tossed his cigarette butt on the floor with a vicious smirk, burning a small black hole in the cashmere carpet.
Joanne screamed. The carpet was expensive and was one of the rare valuable items in the currently deteriorating Jenner residence.
“Marcus Grist, you b*stard!”
Joanne was ready to fight him with balled-up fists, but William held her back.
“Why are you stopping me?!”
“Get back!” William glared at her.
Joanne had been overpowered by William all these years. Once the man blew his top, she dared not say a second word and stepped back quietly.
William struggled up from the floor, his back and waist hurting.
“Marcus.” He took a deep breath and looked at the younger man with a complex gaze. “You’re right. Our families have been long-time friends. I should take care of you.”
Marcus glanced at him and smirked victoriously.
“You can freeload here.” William lowered his voice. “But you have to listen to me. You have to do whatever I say from now on!”
“Hah!” Marcus’ gaze turned vicious as he choked William abruptly.
William, who was shocked, nearly suffocated due to the unexpected attack.
“You… Let go…”
“Old scumbag!” Marcus gritted through his teeth. “Hah, it’s an honor to have me freeload in your pathetic house!”
William’s eyes were bulging, and his face was turning purple. Intense fear crept from the bottom of his heart. Just as his mind went blank and he thought that he would die like that, Marcus let go of him abruptly.
He fell to the floor with a thud.
