Invincible! This person has lived for a billion years

Chapter 103 jerk

"William, is Miss. Carter your girlfriend?"

Aurora and William left the bar, and with countless questions swirling in her head, she finally settled on this one. After some thought, she figured that Joshua might have shown deference to William because of Miss. Carter. If Lila and William were just ordinary friends, Joshua wouldn't have acted in such a manner. The only plausible explanation was that William and Lila were closely acquainted.

William hesitated for a moment, then said, "To put it simply, she and I are distant relatives." Considering that Anthony Carter addresses William as Mr. William and Lila is Anthony Carter's granddaughter, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that there's some kind of familial connection between her and William.

Aurora didn't know how to respond. She wasn't sure who to believe. But regardless, Joshua had backed down to William. Whatever the nature of the relationship between Lila and William, it didn't matter.

William handed the briefcase Joshua gave him to Aurora. "Maria probably needs some money right now. Give this to her. If it's not enough, ask me."

Aurora, driven by curiosity, carefully opened the briefcase. Her eyes widened, "This has to be around $200,000!"

Joshua was quite generous.

"Just give it to Maria," said William, seemingly unfazed by the sum. If Maria really needed money, he could provide any amount.

"Why don't you give it to her yourself?" Aurora tried to give the briefcase back to William.

William gestured dismissively, "Maria and I aren't that close. She might not accept it if I offered."

"You're just handing over so much money to someone you aren't close with?" Aurora was genuinely surprised. Not too long ago, William was a waiter at the bar. Even if he had made some money recently, casually lending such a large sum seemed overly generous.

William clarified, "I'm not lending it to her. I'm giving it to her."

Aurora took a deep breath, looking at William incredulously, "Are you sure?"

"Just tell me if it's not enough," William responded, "I've said before that I'd help her if she had troubles."

"You're really a distant relative of Miss. Carter, aren't you?" Aurora eyed William skeptically. "Are you that wealthy?"

William nodded, "Somewhat. Just don't tell her it's from me."

"Alright! I'll accept it on Maria's behalf," Aurora said, "Let's go now. She should still be at Green Valley Estates. I wonder how her conversation with Caleb went."

Aurora drove an Audi. Although she didn't own any shares in the bar, she held a managerial position and had her own side businesses. While not as wealthy as the likes of Lila, she had a decent fortune.

Green Valley Estates wasn't far from the bar. As Aurora drove William into the residential area, she couldn't help but be astonished by Joshua's generosity and William's subsequent decision to hand the money to Maria. After all, William had only worked at the bar for a few days. Even if Maria had been kind to him, this kind of financial gesture was beyond expectation.

Green Valley Estates, Building 5, Unit 1203.

Upon exiting the elevator, they saw Maria, bruised and dazed, sitting on the floor.

Aurora, seeing Maria in this state, rushed to her, kneeling beside her. After assessing Maria's condition, she furiously yelled, "Caleb! Are you even human? Maria has been with you since she was 18, and now you treat her like this?!"

She stood up and began kicking and pounding on a nearby door, shouting, "Caleb! Come out! We're not leaving until you explain yourself!"

With every thunderous kick and shout, it became clear just how fiery and fearless Aurora was.

For girls who manage to thrive in the nightlife, it's truly no small feat.

William looked at Maria, now in a disheveled and devastated state, his anger burning fiercely.

Throughout his life, the thing he disliked most was men who raised their hands against women.

The door that was being kicked suddenly opened, and Caleb stood at the entrance, shirtless, glaring at Aurora, shouting, "Have you lost your mind?"

Aurora stood at the doorway, pointing at Caleb's nose, retorting, "Caleb! Are you even a man? It's one thing for you to cheat on the side, but to beat Maria like this after all these years? She's been blind to stand by you!"

Raising an eyebrow, Caleb shouted back, "This is my family business! What's it to you? If you keep yapping here, I'll slap you too!"

But Aurora wasn't afraid, she put her hands on her hips and coldly retorted, "You want to hit me? Try it and see if I don't fight you back!"

Hearing the quarrel between Caleb and Aurora, Maria slowly turned her head, weakly pleading, "Aurora, please don't argue with him."

Caleb, either intimidated by Aurora's fiery spirit or for some other reason, stopped bickering. Instead, he said to Maria, "Maria, let's finalize the divorce tomorrow. You take our daughter, everything else is mine. Think it over and call me when you're ready."

As he attempted to close the door, Aurora swiftly placed her foot to block it. "Caleb, you're shameless! You want everything, except your daughter? You cheated, and now you want Maria to leave with nothing?"

"Get out! Since when is our family business any of your concern?" Caleb shoved Aurora aside and quickly shut the door. Regardless of Aurora's subsequent kicks and shouts, he refused to open it.

William looked at Maria. He remembered how lively and radiant she was just a few days ago, how she had confidently assured Evelyn that she'd look out for her. Such spirited elegance. Yet now, just a few days later, she was reduced to this state because of a man, looking as if she'd lost her soul.

Instead of comforting Maria, he slowly approached Caleb's door and said to Aurora, "Aurora, step aside."

Aurora, panting heavily from her earlier confrontation, looked at William, puzzled by his intent but stepped aside nonetheless.

"Boom!"

With a powerful kick, William struck the reinforced door.

The door, which originally opened outward, was sent flying off its hinges along with a portion of the wall. It soared several meters into the apartment, smashing the coffee table in the living room to pieces.

The sheer force of William's kick was terrifyingly evident.

Aurora was in total shock, and even the dazed Maria stared wide-eyed at the scene.

They never expected that William, who always appeared so refined, possessed such immense strength. He had kicked the reinforced door off its hinges as if he were a superhero.

After such a loud disturbance, Caleb, who was inside the room, was naturally stirred. His face filled with bewilderment as he stared at the door, now lodged in his living room. When his gaze landed on William, his eyes filled with horror.
