Chapter 145: While I’m Still Here
At Lancaster Ancestral Mansion
William grumbled under his breath, pacing restlessly as he dialled Sanya Reed’s number again. "How dare she trick me like that?" His patience was wearing thin. He couldn’t believe that someone would go as far as to impersonate her sister-in-law Rain Clayton. The fact that she’d vanished only made it worse.
"Out of reach again," he muttered angrily, tossing his phone onto the table. Without wasting time, he called his men. "I want the details on Sanya Reed now. And find out where she is right now." His tone was cold, demanding.
As he ended the call, he heard the familiar sound of his father’s disapproving tongue click. "Look at you, all worked up because you’ve been fooled. Now you know how your brother and sister-in-law must feel after your tricks," Rock teased, leaning back in his chair with a knowing smirk.
William slumped into a seat. He knew his father wasn’t entirely wrong but wasn’t ready to admit it. "I just want to meet her face-to-face and make her explain," William muttered, dialling her number again despite knowing it wouldn’t connect.
William clenched his jaw, his mind already racing with the ways he would deal with Sanya Reed once he found her. "She won’t get away with this," he muttered under his breath.
The thought of being deceived gnawed at him—especially by someone so close to his sister-in-law, a woman he had specifically chosen for his brother. It wasn’t just the humiliation; it was the insult of being outsmarted by someone. He clenched his fists, anger simmering beneath his calm exterior.
The moment he tracked her down, there’d be a reckoning. His pride wouldn’t allow it to go unpunished.
"Oh, she’s going to regret crossing me," he grumbled, already imagining the scolding—and worse—that awaited her. Sanya Reed had played her game, but William was determined to show her that she messed with the wrong person.
