"William Pearson?!" 3 Jacob turned into a green-eyed monster upon the mention of that name. 3 William Pearson was from a wealthy family and was the head of the student council's public relations back in college. 5 Back then, he and Aaron Philips were Matilda's suitors. However, she had no interest in him or Aaron, so his effort of winning Matilda's heart was to no avail.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Jacob and Matilda were dating, William had always tried to get on Jacob's nerves in order to impress Matilda.
Later, William saw his chance when Matilda broke up with Jacob. He stepped on the accelerator and launched an overwhelming pursuit of her then, but she did not accept him and went to the States instead. William's family was very wealthy and powerful at that time. Before he went to college, his father had already expanded his business to Hong Kong. Their family could be considered the first influential tycoon following Oskia's economic reform. 6 Due to his solid family background, he had gone after Matilda to the States. However, he failed to win her heart. 6 He finally gave up when Matilda fell in love with an American and left the States in a depressed manner before he went to Hong Kong to inherit and manage his father's business.
More than two decades later, he had beca well-known successful businessman in Hong Kong.
Jacob was upset and anxious because he knew that he and William were complete opposites-he didn't have any money while William was extremely wealthy, s No one would think that William would give everyone a gift of money that accumulated to almost tens of thousands of dollars.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn the message group, all the people who received the gift of money started complimenting William. "Wow, William, you're still so passionate. You emerged so quickly after hearing the news about Matilda." "William, aren't you afraid that Matilda's husband would get jealous?" "Yeah! You go to the States so eagerly, but you'll only end up breaking your poor heart when you see Matilda and her husband being so loving and passionate." "How do you explain to your wife when you go home?" 1 At this moment, Laila, Matilda's friend, sent a silent emoji to the group and said, "Hey, stop the nonsense. Matilda's husband passed away stago..." .." 5 As soon as Laila's message was read, everyone in the group started posting the blessing emoji on the group. 5
Many of them tagged Matilda and said, "Matilda, I'm sorry for your loss. Please accept our condolences!"
Of course, it was only a matter of speech on the surface. Most of the male friends did not feel sorry for the news at all, especially not William. He grinned in excitement when he heard about Matilda's husband's passing. 4
For all these years, he had been waiting for the chance to be together with Matilda. She was the woman he couldn't tackle! 1 There were no longer any obstacles blocking his way now that her husband had died! X
