William was famous in the lawyer circle, and had long been a well-known young talent in the upper class because of the media coverage and his relationship with Angie.
She was curious to know which family arranged such a glorious pomp, but she didn't expect that it was William.
However, the next second she was attracted by the person held in William’s arms.
The woman was wrapped in the black suit jacket, despite the fact that she couldn't see her face clearly, she just had the strange feeling that she probably knew the woman.
“What are you looking at?” said John, noticed her distraction, and followed her gaze.
He was...William?
And the person in his arms was--
John’s face changed suddenly, and strode away towards them.
"John?!" Haylee was rather taken aback by his action, and subconsciously took hold of his arm.
John shook off her hands fiercely, having no time to think of Haylee who almost fell to the ground, and went straight in the direction of William.
Haylee lurched to regain her footing, turned around, out of the corner of her eyes, she saw William stood there with icy breath. Yet he was hugging the woman in his arms, almost with affection and pity. A slight view of the woman's side face uncovered could be seen from the place where she stood.
Her eyes were wide open suddenly.
Vivian?
Why was she here? She should be...
Haylee's legs became weak, cold sweat running down from her forehead.
No, it was impossible, it couldn't be Vivian. She was supposed to be somewhere else right now. She should have disappeared.
What was more, how could a woman who had no money and power know William?
It was not true!
She must be overthinking this.
Haylee looked over in an extreme panic, and prayed that it wouldn't be what she thought.
However, the reality failed her.
John was wearing a cold face and walked quickly to William, with an aura of unkindness.
His action brought the bodyguards around William up sharply. They put themselves between William and John, so that John couldn't get close to William at all.
John's jaw twitched angrily. He was full of repressed rage and looked straight at the woman whose face couldn't be seen clearly under the cover of the black suit, "William, who is in your arms?!" demanded John in a cold voice.
William's deep-set dark eyes twinkled, "None of your business!" said William with a gleam of mockery in his eyes.
”You... What happened to Vivian? What did you do to her? ”said John, and set off again. However, he was stopped by the bodyguards in the next second.
Even if no one else could tell who the person is, how could he not recognize her? Even if the person in front of him didn’t show out any discernable parts, he could still and always recognize her.
She was Vivian.
A feeling that something bad might had happened came into his mind. What was worse, he did not know what it was at all. He felt so worried and scared.
“John? What’s wrong? Did you know Lawyer William? ” said Haylee with a pale face, she stepped forward and tugged at his arms.
Yet she couldn't help directing her eyes at Vivian all the time.
No! It was not her, definitely not her!
John did not answer her, staring at William stubbornly, hoping to get an answer.
William started to look at Haylee narrowly, which made her uneasy and scared. She trembled, though she was unaware of doing so.
“William, tell me what happened to Vivian? Did you do this to her?" said John, his eyes glittering with red light.
Casting contemptuous glances at him, William turned and headed for the elevator, leaving him with an indifferent voice,”Mr. John, you are out!”
”William!” John’s head jerked up, and he threw himself forward.
