Truthfully, Timothy actually respected William quite a bit when it came to business. If he could've avoided it, he would've never gone up against him.
Unexpectedly, William just had to fall for me. Because of this, Timothy was forced to face off against him and suffered massive losses as a result.
Timothy honestly couldn't understand how someone as smart, heartless, and elite as William could fall for me.
Sure, I was definitely talented in scientific research. In just two short years, I had developed results that others couldn't achieve in a lifetime. I had made breakthrough after breakthrough in such a short time.
In fact, Timothy believed that if William hadn't intervened and disrupted his plans, he could've successfully used me to achieve his nefarious ambitions. And it wouldn't have taken more than a year.
It really would've been unimaginably mind-blowing and glorious if that had happened.
Still, I was a divorcée. I was pregnant with another man's child.
Even if Timothy admired my talent, he firmly believed William shouldn't have fallen for someone like me, no matter what. And he definitely shouldn't have gone to war with Timothy over me—especially when I had yet to reciprocate the intensity of his affections.
To Timothy, that made William nothing but a fool.
His words made Noah's eyes turn cold in an instant. "Only a scumbag would assume everyone else is garbage like him too just because he can't stand to see others doing well. In reality, he's the only one that's trash!"
Noah truly loved me. No matter what, he believed I was the best thing the world had to offer. He absolutely refused to allow anyone to insult me. Even if that person was Timothy, who seemed more powerful than he was, he wasn't afraid at all.
His words provoked Timothy so much that he actually laughed from anger. "Hey, kid. Your uncle's about to be thrown in prison by me. What even are you compared to him?"
She truly didn't even know what to say anymore.
Snapping out of his disbelief, Timothy looked like a viper that was about to strike. After shooting Noah a venomous glare, he walked inside with Grace on his arm.
Timothy shouldn't forget himself and argue with Noah. He should just let the little dog bark. When the opportunity arose, he would crush him.
Noah would learn just how terrible it was to have provoked him.
After Timothy and Grace left, Noah turned to me.
"There's no need to tolerate them, Emi," he said. "With things the way they are now, it's already a fight to the death. Being afraid won't help our situation, so we may as well be bold. Regardless of how this ends, we should, at the very least, spoil their fun!"
