Chapter 97 An Old Face
The middle-aged man quickly strode up to William and bowed. "I wasn't told that you were here, Mr. Barrett. I'm very sorry my underling crossed you"
William had no idea who this guy was. Kane had a lot of underlings, but still, he nodded. "Keep a close eye on your men, you hear?" He waved his hand, and Law could move.
Quickly, Law got up. "Boss"
The middle-aged man sent Law flying with a slap and roared. "Shut it! One more word and I'll feed you to the fish!"
A scared Law went down on his knees, keeping quiet. He had a feeling that his boss wasn't joking as his eyes looked murderous.
The r
middle-aged man turned around, still bowing. "Tm very sorry for what he did. I'll cut his tongue off as an apology"
William said coolly, "It's alright. You're working with Kane anyway, so I'm letting this slide. See you."
The man backed off while still bowing He kept doing this until William left the store. The man was Kane's underling, and he knew how powerful Kane was Even so, Kane had to give his utmost respect to William. William was powerful, and that sure was a reason, but he was also close to Brandon. If William was crossed, one call was all it took for Kane to come after his head.
The man's underlings kept quiet and retreated silently, then they formed two lines and waited outside. Farmy was in disbelief. She sat on the ground, clutching her face. Why are they so scared of him? Who is this
Law left Fanny to fend for herself as he hung his head low and stood in the farthest corner of the formation. He didn't even dare to look at William.
William left the store. When he saw what the thugs were doing, he said, 'Don't follow me Just do whatever you have to
The middle-aged man chased his underlings away and sycophantically said, "We can carry your shopping bags for you, Mr. Barrett"
William waved him down. "Just leave."
The middle-aged man and his team left, but he was still shuddering in fear. He slapped Law again, this time drawing his blood and breaking his teeth.
Elsa was surprised, to say the least. "Why are they so scared of you?"
William smiled. "I'm friends with their boss. Right, time to get you a necklace to go with this dress" He then picked out some shoes, a watch, some perfume, some bags, some earrings, and some bracelets. In the end, he put her through a hair makeover. When she came back out, she looked nothing less like a regal
woman
Happy with the results, William said. "You're prettier now.

mean anything by that.
It was almost time, so William took her to Hotel Dragunity, a five-star hotel. It was where the graduation dinner would be held.
Once they got out of the car, the usher opened the doors for them. Two banners could be seen hanging in the lobby. One read, 'Bernard Music School, Faculty of Music Graduation Dinner
The other read, "Southlake University, Faculty of Finance Graduation Dinner.
William was surprised to see the second banner. Southlake University was the place he studied, and he was
a finance student. Ihat a coincidence,
He took Elsa to her hall and was about to leave, but when he came to the elevator, a bespectacled man came out with a group of students behind him. The man paused for a moment when he saw William. "William?"
This man was none other than Damian, their class leader. Despite not seeing him for two years, he hadn't changed much. Damian left a good impression on William. He was a kind and friendly man, and he was popular among the
students. "Yeah. It's been a while. William smiled.
Standing behind him were a few people William didn't want to see, namely Aidan, Tanner, Zach, Sophie, and Queenie.
Aidan averted his gaze, while Zach sneered. "Why did you come here? I don't remember you being invited.
"Whoa, don't make it sound like I want to be here. I'm not interested in your dinner."
Damian quickly said. "Hey, he's our classmate, Zach. It's good that he's here. Don't you think, Aidan?" He asked Aidan because he thought Aidan was good friends with William and because Aidan was the sponsor of this dinner. It was only right to ask.
Aidan didn't look at him but said, "Do what you will."
Damian didn't notice that Aidan was looking off, so he grabbed William's arm. The dinner's just begun. Let's go. It's been years since we last saw you."
William had no interest in joining them. He was expelled anyway, so attending the event was pointless. However, when he saw the venue of the event, his eyes lit up with delight. "Sure, I'll go."
Delighted, Damian pushed William toward the venue. William's enemies did not like this, but since Aidan said nothing, they kept quiet as well.
There were about forty people at the dinner. The venue was decorated to resemble a lecture hall, and everyone was given a seat. The
lecture. The hall was alread, cats were arranged according to the one they got on
their first day of
half-full.
A lot of people were surprised by William's arrival, and they started whispering
among themselves.
"That's William, isn't it? Why is he here? He was expelled, wasn't he?"
"No idea. Someone invited him, probably
"He had a falling out with Aidan. They say it's because he owes Aidan money and
refuses to pay up."

"Really? I can't believe Aidan would lend him money."
William heard what was being said, but he ignored them. He knew these rumors
were spread by Aidan's friends and lackeys.
A tall, pudgy guy approached William and patted his shoulder. "William!" He was
the second guy to greet
William.
