Chapter 1055: No One!
"From Huaxia?"
"Not from the company?"
A faint sneer appeared on Will's face. As long as they weren't company people, it would be easy to handle. And since they were Huaxia people, there was even less to worry about!
With that, Will arrogantly strutted over, the haughtiness on his face was evident. As Felix's son, he had the right to be so proud.
Seeing Will aggressively marching toward Hao Jian, everyone present neither stopped him nor dared to, adopting a spectator's mindset to watch the impending drama.
"Kid, who are you?!"
Walking up to Hao Jian, Will unceremoniously shoved his shoulder with a cold snort.
Originally chatting nicely with Sofia, suddenly this unruly man appeared—anyone would be annoyed. Hao Jian gave this guy a distant look and said, "Who I am is none of your business!"
"Hey hey, Hao Jian, this is Will..."
Seeing Will's appearance, Sofia hurriedly nudged Hao Jian in the waist and whispered softly by his ear.
Speaking of which, she had forgotten to show Hao Jian a picture of Will, but now it was too late. The two had already met, and sparks were already flying.
"Oh, so you're Will!"
With Sofia's reminder, Hao Jian suddenly looked enlightened, nodding as he looked at Will, "I'm not sure what Mr. Will wants with us? If there's nothing, we have to attend the party."
"Kid, how dare you flirt with my girl!"
But Will didn't pay any attention to what Hao Jian said; the recent proximity between Sofia and Hao Jian infuriated him. It had been a long time since any man dared to get so close to Sofia in front of him!
And this person was actually a foreigner! No wonder he didn't know his identity, but today, since he appeared in front of him, he must be made aware of how terrifying Will is!
What a clueless playboy...
Seeing this guy accuse him of flirting with Sofia, Hao Jian felt disdain. With a brain like his, if not for his father's backing, he would have long died in the streets.
Hao Jian's eyes carried a hint of mockery as his lips curled into a sarcastic smile, "Which eye of yours saw that Sofia and I were a couple?!"
"Kid, are you courting death?! Standing within two meters of Sofia in my presence means you're flirting with her! No matter what you think, I believe you're flirting with her!"
Hao Jian had intended to reason with this guy, but unfortunately, with Will's personality, reasoning was clearly off the table. Or rather, in his mind, there's no such concept as reasoning.
Immediately, Will pointed at Hao Jian, snorting coldly, "Now I give you an order, also the last piece of advice, immediately leave Sofia's side and get out of my sight, as well as leave this party!"
"With your shabby outfit, wearing brands no one's ever heard of, you don't deserve to be at our Nicholas Consortium's party!"
"I suppose you got close to Sofia just to sneak into this party for the food, right?! Haha, like a stray dog!"
"Can you say that again?!"
Although he had heard such condescending remarks countless times, Hao Jian still felt angry, but outwardly, he showed no trace of it.
Instead, this made Will think he was afraid to oppose him, that he was being cautious! If so, he would be all the more unrestrained; if people feared him, why should he care?!
Even though Sofia's face was now extremely unpleasant, Will still ignored it. As long as his father remained a major shareholder of the Nicholas Group, Sofia becoming his woman was destined!
Moreover, no one looked forward to Sofia becoming Will's woman more than Felix, after all, Sofia held twenty percent of the Nicholas Consortium's shares!
With such a high percentage of shares, added to his current shares, his status as the major shareholder of the Nicholas Consortium would be completely solidified!
Therefore, after Madison's death, while anxious about acquiring Madison's shares, he also constantly urged his son to quickly seize Sofia, even going to great lengths, sacrificing a fortune just to ensure his son could succeed.
He even used this manor as the main venue for this banquet! He had really put in a lot this time, and with his father's full support, Will had become even more arrogant and oblivious!
"You are just a..."
With anger on his face, Will was about to shout when a voice cut him off...
"Will, that's enough!"
Sofia had long been infuriated by Will's actions, but she used to care more about the company's stability, especially since the Nicholas Consortium was facing big problems at that time.
The men from before didn't matter; they approached her with motives, and even the few sincere ones were turned away due to status issues, so Will driving them away was not a big deal, it saved her the trouble of rejecting them.
But it's different with Hao Jian!
She finally met someone like Hao Jian whose personality matched hers, and she absolutely couldn't let anything happen to him. Besides, she and Hao Jian didn't have any special relationship, at most they were just friends!
Adding to that, Hao Jian entered with her without saying anything and was targeted by Will, which made her very angry. Though she had anticipated this, she hadn't expected Will to act without asking the reason!
What's most important is, he personally attacked Hao Jian! That's the most detestable part! Insulting Hao Jian is as good as insulting her! Hao Jian is a friend she respects!
"I don't care about the past, but you absolutely cannot touch this person! If you do, wait for your father to deal with you!" As a shareholder of the company, Sofia wasn't afraid of Felix, not to mention that Felix was competing with them for Madison's shares!
Both parties were in a hostile relationship, and there were no pleasant expressions when they met, much less for Will, who didn't even own company shares and only knew how to bully with power. She wouldn't be afraid!
"Sofia! What… What did you say?! You actually dare to yell at me?! And for this foreigner! A Huaxia person! Do you still want to stay in the Group?!"
Sofia never argued with him over a man, at least in his memory, she wouldn't. But today he saw something; this Huaxia man could get Sofia's protection?!
This was a privilege even he hadn't received, and he considered himself Sofia's man! Although this was just his one-sided belief, it couldn't be denied that with Felix backing Will, his power was not weaker than Sofia's.
As soon as Felix transferred his shares to Will, Will would become a major shareholder of the company! This way, his status compared to Sofia would be higher!
However, even if Will received the shares, with his current personality, it wouldn't take long before he squandered them away. Over the years, Will had been involved in gambling, and in underground casinos at that, which was against USA laws.
The reason no one dared to confront him now was because of his father, and once his father fell, he likely would end up in prison.
"Who I stand up for is not important, and I believe whether I stay in the Group is not decided by you, nor by your father, but by me!"
Sofia displayed her domineering side as a shareholder at that moment.
"You… You dare to speak like this!"
Sofia had never dared to talk back like this before!
Will's face turned ugly; it must be this guy corrupting Sofia!
He never believed Sofia did anything wrong; the one at fault must be the man beside her! Sofia had never talked back to him before!
If Sofia knew what Will was thinking now, she would probably burst out laughing.
Indeed, she rarely argued with Will in such matters, because she knew if she dared to speak, Will would retaliate even more heavily against her associates.
Therefore, when she didn't speak, it was the best protection for those people, but now, she no longer needed to maintain the previous mindset. Hao Jian had already told her to leave everything to him.
"It must be you corrupting Sofia! I must let you know that someone like you cannot appear on our Nicholas Consortium's territory!"
Sofia couldn't be scolded, so Will had to direct the blame at Hao Jian. Hao Jian, who had been silently watching Will, smiled when pointed out.
With a grin, he said, "I'll just ask you one thing, do you dare to come up?"
"Look down on me?!"
Will's face twisted in anger, he shouted angrily, "No one has ever dared to look down on me like this! You dare to question me! Kid, you're dead!"
"Kid, I want you to know that this place is my turf! I take back what I said before, it's not just about leaving, but you now have to crawl out! Questioning me means you've successfully angered me!"
Upon hearing this, Hao Jian raised an eyebrow lightly, a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He hadn't seen such an interesting person in a long time; now in his thirties, the guy still had the mentality of a child, to be precise, like a spoiled brat.
However, compared to those brats, this guy's destructive power to others was much greater, especially since he had Felix, the chief shareholder of the Nicholas Consortium, supporting him!
For people like Sofia who were also shareholders and didn't fear Will, for the ordinary people, even if bullied by him, they didn't dare to utter a word.
