Elisa was a little embarrassed. “I was so tired that I forgot to tell you since my mind was a little jumbled.”
“It doesn’t matter. Let me introduce you to some friends so you can recognize faces and people around my circle.”
“Mm-hmm.”
William led Elisa to Jerry, Ronnie, and Andrei. “This is my wife, Elisa White.”
“Good day, pleased to meet you.” The three men said in unison and then introduced themselves, respectively.
Elisa also greeted them.
Bruce and Wheel played and had enough fun in the yard and went back to the villa.
He sat on Elisa’s lap consciously and found a comfortable position to sit.
Jerry was surprised when they saw it, but they didn’t pay too much attention to Bruce.
After they had eaten together, William took them to the third floor of the house.
There were fitness areas and leisure areas on the third floor, and there was a translucent room for guests, where they could enjoy the night view.
William brought them wine.
Jerry consciously poured wine into their glasses. “Bruce’s acceptance is better than I thought. How can he accept Elisa so easily?”
Andrei also said, “Indeed. It stands to reason that Bruce has known us longer than he has known Elisa, and he is more likely to accept us. But the fact is just the opposite.”
“It may be fate.” William replied.
Ronnie, who had been silent, said, “Perhaps Elisa has a feeling of belonging to Bruce that we don’t have.”
Ronnie’s words made them think.
William found that he was right. “She does have something we don’t have.”
Ronnie said, “William, seeing you and Elisa like this, I also want to get married.”
“If you want to get married, get Joey back.”
“She has married that man, I have no chance. I have made a new girlfriend, and I am good in all aspects. I am going to propose to her for the New Year.”
Jerry said disapprovingly, “Joey does not stimulate you, do you?”
“I’ll show her what she should think about the position I give to others easily for ten years.”
Andrei said, “You are angry. When you get married, and you find it inappropriate. Do you want to leave again?”
“Is divorce an option? I am not a woman. After divorce, there are still many women pouncing on me.”
When they heard him say so, they didn’t advise him again.
Ronnie Anderson had an incomprehensible stubbornness, and the more they persuade, the more they toss.
Andrei found a topic, “William, what are you going to do about Anderson Group? They are all stopping losses these days. Will it affect Ronnie’s home?”
Ronnie replied first, “No. Luke and Andrew Anderson have had nothing to do with our family for a long time. Our father wanted to teach them a lesson before, but he also considered the feelings of having the same surname. This time, Luke was cleaned up by his second brother, and it was estimated that he can stop for a long time.”
William whispered, “If Anderson Group itself has no problem, I’ll not move casually, and the stock market would be full of sorrow.”

Elisa gave Bruce a good bath. When she saw that the lights on the third floor were still on, she gave them some side dishes and cakes made by Aunt Marites before.
After that, she went back to her room to rest.
She slept until midnight before she felt the bed on the other side sink.
Elisa slept in a daze and mumbled, “Just finished talking now?”
“Did I wake you up?”
“Not bad.” After saying that, she went back to sleep.
William listened to the slight, and long breathing sound in his ear, smiled, and closed his eyes.
**
Anderson’s family.
Andrew Anderson looked at Natalie coldly. “Look at the good things you did. What is Luke into?”
“Before I did it, you and your second brother also agreed. Now that something has happened, you will put all the responsibilities on my head?” Natalie said while crying.
Andrew Anderson looked at Natalie, and there was no sympathy in his heart. “You said you know William, and you know William will not care about the life or death of that cheap woman. Now that you have made such a big mess, you tell me I don’t blame you. If I don’t blame you for this. Who else can I blame?! If you ruin our family, I would never let you go!”
Natalie looked at Andrew Anderson in shock, a face of disbelief.
Her body trembled violently as if it would faint in the next second.
After finally accepting William’s attitude towards her, she faced her family’s incomprehension and accusation.
She didn’t know how to face the future.
Why didn’t anyone else understand her pain?! She loved William. She loved him before he entered the Brich Group and had much money on him. After they were together, she loved him even more.
Because of the child, all the tenderness between them was gone. That child ruined her love and her life.
That was the child of William!
William betrayed her and gave birth to a child with another woman.
Why couldn’t she be angry?! Why did everyone blame her? Why should she accept that child?
Even later, to save the child, she was seriously injured, and her relationship with William did not ease.
Luke interrupted the two of them. “It’s useless to say that, things have come to this point. What we should do most now is how to minimize losses.”
“Besides filing for bankruptcy, what else can be solved?!” Andrew Anderson’s temper is extremely corrupt.
When he spoke, he stared discontentedly at Natalie.
“It’s better to file for bankruptcy than to be dragged down by William. Tomorrow I’ll go to deal with the formalities of filing for bankruptcy. Big Brother, you go to do crisis public relations and stabilize the hearts of the company.”
“Well, you don’t have to arrange things for me.” Andrew Anderson said, glanced at Natalie, and went upstairs with a cold hum.
Natalie also looked at him and saw hatred in his eyes.
After Andrew left, Luke said, “Natalie, I know you can’t be blamed for this. I have seen the hardships you have suffered over the years.”
“Brother…”
“Now that the company has become like this, eldest brother and I are helpless. If he said something he shouldn’t have said, don’t take it to heart.”
“I, I understand. Brother, thank you for being willing to stand on my side.”
Luke patted her on the shoulder. “You are my sister. Of course, I don’t blame you. It’s just…”
Natalie’s heart leaked a beat, and she asked nervously, “Just what?”
“I think our violence triggered this incident to Elisa, which led to the follow-up. Edward and Rebecca Brich are good to you. Can you intercede with them and let them persuade William to stop? In the future, Anderson’s family will not violate with the Brich family.”
Natalie didn’t expect Luke to say such a thing to her and shook her head painfully. “Brother, do you think things have developed like this? Will Edward and Rebecca still listen to me? If they care about saving my life for Bruce, why won’t they persuade William to stop? If Iwill plead now, all I get is humiliation!”
