NOVEL WEB Chapter 78 - Charles Woods' Confidence
Chapter 78: Charles Woods’ Confidence
Xavier Herd sent a message to William Scott and told him that Sheila Zinc had left in the afternoon and was feeling a little lonely.
William Scott hesitated for a moment and only sent Sheila Zinc three words: “I’m sorry!” There was no point in explaining further.
Sheila Zinc did not reply. It was uncertain if she was still on the plane or if she did not want to reply at all.
Xenia Lewis said that she wanted to complain about William Scott, but she didn’t do so.
With her chest puffed out, Xenia Lewis stood in front of William Scott and said arrogantly, “Mr William Scott, I’ll help you to suppress this matter this time. This is also a chance for you to turn over a new leaf. If you make such a mistake again in the future, I will definitely not protect you anymore.”
William Scott sat on the sofa and looked up at Xenia Lewis. He hurriedly added, “Thank you, Mistress Xenia Lewis, for your magnanimity. I knew you were the best.”
“Hmph, that’s all you have to say?”
“Then I’ll buy you dinner tonight?”
“That’s better.”
The reason why William Scott and Xenia Lewis were very relaxed was because of her easy-going personality. She was still fierce a moment ago, but after a while, the two of them could chat happily the next minute. At night, the two of them went out for skewers and beer. They cast all unhappy things aside.
The next day, William Scott and Yvette Quinn went straight to New Dragon Villa. This was the villa where he had come for the class reunion days ago. This time, the venue was decided by Charles Woods.
The car pulled over. Instead of getting out of the car immediately, Yvette Quinn turned to look at William Scott and said, “I’m afraid that Director Woods will resort to tricks because you hit him last time. This time, he might arrange for someone to take revenge.”
William Scott smiled and said, “I might be afraid of other things, but would I be afraid of this? Have you forgotten how I saved Xenia that time?”
Yvette Quinn perked up, but still said, “But even a tiger can’t fight a pack of wolves. I’m afraid he…”
“Don’t worry. In my eyes, they are a herd of sheep.”
A tiger could not fight a pack of wolves, but if the other party was only a herd of sheep, what threat could they pose to the tiger?
Susan understood what William Scott meant. In his eyes, Charles Woods’ men were akin to sheep. However, Charles Woods was a wolf himself. How could the men he had be sheep?
“Let’s go.” William Scott got out of the car.
Yvette Quinn gritted her teeth and followed him out of the car. Since she was already here, she had to deal with this matter.
They were almost to the cottage when William Scott suddenly laughed. As they got closer, Yvette Quinn became nervous. “What are you laughing at?”
William Scott pointed at the cottage and said, “It’s a coincidence. That one that Charles Woods booked is actually the place where I came for my class reunion.”
“Oh, there’s nothing funny about that, is there?” Yvette Quinn asked suspiciously.
William Scott smiled. “There’s nothing funny about the place, but it might be fun to meet the same people. You’ll see.”
By the time they reached the cottage, Yvette Quinn was still a little nervous. He took her left hand and squeezed it gently. She took a deep breath and returned his grip. They glanced at each other before they walked into the cottage.
Director Woods was the only one inside. At this moment, he was sitting upright in a chair with a cup of tea in his hand. He narrowed his eyes at the two of them with a confident smile on his face.
“CEO Quinn, have you thought it through?” Charles Woods took a sip of tea and lit a cigarette. He completely ignored William Scott.
William Scott pulled Yvette Quinn to sit opposite Charles Woods and said, “What’s there to think about with trash like you?”
Yvette Quinn smiled bitterly in her heart, despite knowing that there would definitely be trouble this time. Yet, William Scott still went head-on with the other party and refused to budge. And she would not be able to interrupt. William Scott took control over the situation, and she felt that her presence was a little redundant.
“Kid, do you think I’ll be afraid of you just because you hit me last time?” Charles Woods stared at William Scott with a dark expression.
William Scott shook his head and said, “Why would you be afraid of me? You definitely won’t be afraid. I know this very well.”
Charles Woods sneered and said, “At least you know your place.”
“No! No! No!” William Scott wagged his finger. “I said you wouldn’t be afraid of me. That’s because I didn’t hurt you, nor did I beat you into submission. So this time I’ll definitely teach you a lesson.”
Charles Woods slammed the table and shouted, “F*ck you. Do you really think I, Charles Woods, am a pushover? I’ll let you experience what it’s like to be beaten up today. No, I want to see how badly you’ll be beaten up until submission.”
Seeing that they were about to come to blows, Yvette Quinn felt a headache coming on. She looked at William Scott, but held back her tongue. There was only so much she could do at this moment.
William Scott leaned back and drawled, “Then call all your men. I’m not interested in beating up a pig like you.”
“Kid, you’re quite smart to know that I brought people here. Could it be that you brought your men here too? Why don’t you let me take a look?”
Observing Charles Woods’ confident expression, Yvette Quinn couldn’t help but be secretly shocked. He wore an expression of absolute confidence. That meant that the people he brought were definitely quite powerful. This was probably not just a matter of being able to fight well, but also because they were very powerful. They were definitely not something ordinary hooligans could compare to.
William Scott said disdainfully, “Is there a need for me to bring people to deal with trash like you? There are only the two of us. Call out those trash and let me deal with them. I really don’t want to waste so much time with trash like you.”
“All right! Kid, since you’re in such a hurry to die, I’ll fulfill your wish.” As Wu Zhangyou spoke, he picked up the phone. “Tiger, it’s time to work!”
As soon as Charles Woods put down the phone, there was a flurry of footsteps outside. Then five or six burly men rushed in, with the leader in front. He was more than six feet tall and he looked as strong as an iron tower. Coupled with his fierce expression, it made one’s legs go weak.
This burly man alone seemed to be enough, not to mention that there were still a few others. They were holding bats in their hands and looked even more imposing.
Yvette Quinn’s face turned pale. These people were obviously not to be trifled with. They were probably hooligans. These people were the hardest to deal with.
“Ha!” Charles Woods laughed proudly. “Kid, aren’t you very arrogant? Come on, continue being arrogant. I want to see how you can continue to do so!”
