Amara was worried William might have heard how rudely she had ken to me and that it wonder is pression of her. She felt she could have avoided this situation if I had only cooperatively signed the shares transfer agremen
And for that reason, Amara resented me even more. Her desire to squash me undertoon internified.
I wanted to review the patient’s medical records in the car on the way to meet him.
Just as I was about to ask William if he had a copy, he said, “You told Irvin the truth, didn’t you? You told him Sawyer and not Timothy Hardwell,”
‘s actually invin
My eyes widened in shock. How did he know about this? Had he installed a hidden camera in my work studio? Irvin and 1 were the only ones in my studio when I had told him the truth, after all.
Seemingly reading my mind, William coolly huffed and clarified, “Your face is an open book. Why would I need to install cameras to monitor you when your thoughts are written all over your face?”
I was speechless,
William truly was remarkable. He had risen to such a high position at such a young age and had managed to remain successful Everything that was his, he had earned it himself. He deserved every bit of it.
Suddenly, he asked, “Do you really like him so much that you can’t even bear seeing him suffer even a little? You would even forgive him for all the bad things he’s done to you?”
I didn’t know how to answer William’s questions, so I remained silent. Right now, I honestly didn’t know how I felt about Irvin William didn’t press me further when he noticed I didn’t want to answer him . Instead, he simply said, “I hope you’ll keep in mind what I told you before–the Hardwells aren’t good people.”
He felt slightly regretful when he finished speaking
William was naturally cold–hearted and would never interfere in other’s business. If someone were to collapse in front of him, he would simply step over them and continue on his way.
I might be his nephew’s most cherished person, but even so, he had warned me more than enough times.
William found his own behavior to be strange, especially when he realized he was slightly envious of Irvin.
Despite his stern warning, I had still told Irvin the truth behind his identity. Irvin had done so many things to hurt me. Yet, I was still willing to take such a dangerous risk to help him.
What William envied about Irvin was that he had someone who loved him so much that the person would go to such lengths for him.
As for himself…
When William had finally developed feelings for a woman, he later discovered she was pregnant and wasn’t… kind–hearted as he had thought.
It seemed the fortune teller he had met as a child was right–he was a walking calamity, doomed to forever be alone.

Both of William’s parents were deceased.
His mother had died during his childbirth due to complications resulting from her advanced age. Less than a month later, his father had perished at sea while trying to escape pursuit from an assassin hired by a rival family.
Every passing fortune–teller and psychic had said William was a walking calamity too. They had said anyone who got close to him would experience misfortune. They had also foretold he would be the cause of his family’s downfall.
Because of this, William’s other family members had advised his older brother to abandon him in order to save their lives and their wealth. However, not only had his brother refused to, but he had even raised him with great care.
Yet, William had caused the death of his brother’s wife and brought misfortune upon his nephew and niece. One had been kidnapped as a child and subsequently abandoned, only to be found after nearly reaching adulthood. The other had fallen seriously ill and hadn’t been able to get out of bed for years.
William didn’t believe in fate. However, the tragic deaths of his parents, older brother, and sister–in–law had scared him from ever desiring the warmth of being loved.
That was until the day he had been rescued from drowning. For the first time in his life, he had longed for a warm touch. For a brief moment, he hadn’t been able to resist wanting to be happy.
But in the end, William had decided he didn’t deserve it.
