A Mortal’s Medicinal Elixirs

Chapter 48 You’ve Landed Yourself in Trouble

He angrily pointed to William and yelled. “Take a close look at him, Sophie! He’s a criminal! Do you really want someone like that as your boyfriend?”

“I like him! Furthermore, this is none of your business!” Sophie rolled her eyes at Zach as she placed her arms on William’s shoulder on purpose, hoping to aggravate Zach even more.

And that worked. Zach was so enraged that he was about to blow a gasket. “William Barrett, Mr. Wright was kind enough to allow you to attend the gathering this time because you were his previous bunkmate. If I were you, I wouldn’t have the face to come today!”

In response, William raised his brows and muttered coldly, I’m not interested in stooping so low to speak with you. However, if you continue to get on my nerves, I don’t mind sending you to your doom.”

“Send me to my doom, eh? Who do you think you are to do that?” Zach let out a cold sneer and continued, “You’re just a prisoner. Who gave you the audacity to send me to my doom? Is it because you were once Mr. Wright’s bunkmate?”

He then sarcastically laughed as he growled, “I’ll have you know that after having some drinks with Mr. Wright last night, I now have a good relationship with him! You’re just a convict who will irritate Mr. Wright when he sees you. If I were you, I’d get lost right away to avoid further embarrassing myself!”

One of the people nearby chose that moment to speak up. “He is right! Mr. Wright has told us that he will hand the renovation of his various buildings to us!”

“Do you know how much the profits are to renovate a building?” Zach asked with a smug expression on his face.

Raising one of his fingers, he continued. “At least 150 thousand!”

William, on the other hand, just stared at Zach as if he were a fool. “You might have remembered it incorrectly. Aidan will never hand any of his projects to you.”

“Are you saying this because you’re jealous of me?” Zach mockingly inquired. “Mr. Wright has already promised me that! With this, I’ll be able to earn 700 thousand in three months!”

At this point, Sophie couldn’t help but interrupt the conversation. “What does that have to do with William?” she asked.

“Everything!” Zach replied with a devious smile on his face. “I want to see his envious look!”

At this moment, the door opened and Aidan entered with a beautiful and fashionable woman.

Everyone went up to him when they saw him enter, with Zach taking the lead. Smiling, he said, “Mr. Wright, you’re finally here”

However, Aidan didn’t even look at Zach before walking straight to William. “Pardon me for not welcoming you here sooner, William. I went to pick up one of my friends,” he said smilingly.

“You don’t need to be so respectful to me, Aidan,” William responded. “We’re friends.”

Everyone was stunned upon hearing that. What is happening? Why is Mr. Wright calling William by his name as if they are close?”
