Chapter 145: 145 Harming Your Own Nephew? Worse than Pigs and Dogs (2nd Update)

William Hale set down the lighter. He didn’t step forward to break up the fight, but instead spoke slowly, "Uncle Conner, aren’t you mistaken? How could my uncle possibly get together with Miss Conner?"

"How is it not possible? I saw it with my own eyes, my daughter was lying on his bed!"

"On her body..."

Owen Conner thought of that scene and still felt dizzy!

Although she was wearing some clothes,

It might as well have been nothing at all.

"Owen, listen to me explain." Liam Hugh’s mind was in chaos at this moment. Why had Serena Conner’s father suddenly appeared, and at such a coincidental time? He thought it must have been William Hale’s doing.

When did he start planning this?

"You’re truly shameless. At your age, you could easily be her father."

"I was saying, why has she been running to your house recently? Hannah doesn’t even live at home anymore. I never expected that you, an old scoundrel, you’re simply shameless!"

"I..." Owen was speaking when he suddenly picked up a wine decanter next to him and hurled it towards him.

"I have to kill you, you shameless old man!"

"She’s only in her twenties, how could you bear to lay hands on her, you’re simply a beast."

Liam Hugh struggled desperately to dodge.

He dodged, and the wine decanter shattered on the floor, with the red wine spilling all over.

At that moment, Serena Conner had already appeared at the door of the room, accompanied by her mother.

Her face was pale, shaken to the point of shivering.

The moment the door opened, she thought it was William Hale coming in. Her face flushed with embarrassment, but she never expected...

That it would be her own parents who barged in!

Wrapped in a coat, she was greeted by a loud slap from her father.

And he berated her:

"You shameless thing, learning God knows what, learning to climb into bed with someone. Do you even have any shame!"

She had no clue why her parents had appeared; she was totally confused throughout.

Her mind went blank, her expression dazed, not even feeling the pain from the slap.

"Now that everyone is here, didn’t you want to explain? Come on, explain!" Owen Conner looked at Liam Hugh, "I really want to hear it, why she was lying on your bed dressed like that, what was the reason for it!"

Liam Hugh’s mind was empty, and he couldn’t find a suitable reason on the spot.

All he said was, "Perhaps Serena just went to my room to rest?"

"Serena Conner!" Owen Conner shouted angrily, "Tell me, why would you go to an old man’s room, and still be wearing a camisole nightgown?"

At that moment, Zac Cruz appeared at the door, seemingly out of nowhere.

That wasn’t any camisole nightgown,

To be precise:

It was lingerie.

As a father, he still left his daughter some dignity.

"I..." Serena Conner had been scared out of her wits already, her mind ceased to function, she just kept wiping her tears.

"Enough, you’ve said your piece, you’ve already frightened the child," Mrs. Conner frowned, she was both anxious and angry, yet she felt pity for her daughter.

"After doing such a shameless deed, are you afraid of me speaking?"

"Uncle Conner, perhaps there really is a misunderstanding here." William Hale spoke up, "I’ve grown up with Miss Conner. I trust her character and also believe in my uncle. It’s impossible for him to be involved with her."

"William..." Faced with William Hale, Owen Conner still took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions, "Do not get involved in this matter, I only ask you, please don’t broadcast this out."

"I’m only trying to help you solve the problem."

Once William Hale spoke, Liam Hugh felt his head spin.

What is this kid up to now!

And at that moment, he suddenly felt his limbs growing weaker by the second, and even his head was getting foggy. Could it be that after taking a few punches, his consciousness was starting to fade?

He shook his head, trying hard to stay alert.

"Whatever it is, we shouldn’t talk about it here, better to find a room and sit down to talk this through properly," William Hale said, indicating to Zac Cruz to arrange a room.

...

The hotel staff had been paying attention to the commotion here from the start.

Because the Conner couple had been storming all the way up to the 28th floor.

Their demeanor was like catching adulterers in the act.

This scared the staff silly, they were considering whether they should call the police, but fortunately, William Hale stepped in with a solution, and they hurriedly prepared a room for them to have their discussion.

But just then, another person appeared.

It was Liam Hugh’s wife, Yumi Johnson.

And...

The father of William Hale, Brock Hale!

The ensemble in the room at that time

made Liam’s eyes turn dark.

He stared dead at William, not far off.

The moment their eyes met, the depth and coldness in his brows and eyes seemed to be draped in frost, chilling to the bone.

People say he’s cold-hearted and ruthless, but how could the real William be summed up in just four simple words?

In the business world, if he set his mind to something, he could almost always get it.

If he wanted to smear someone,

he naturally had a thousand and one ways to do it.

"So, what exactly is going on here?" Yumi was the first to speak up.

The Conner Family didn’t know how to begin, and Liam was even more silent; his head felt incredibly heavy, his consciousness beginning to disperse, so Yumi could only look to William.

He simply explained what he had witnessed, leaving Yumi and Brock dumbfounded.

"I think there’s definitely been a misunderstanding," William said.

"Yes, a misunderstanding!" Liam hurriedly explained, "Serena and I are not in that kind of relationship at all, you all have completely misunderstood."

"I believe so too. Uncle Conner invited me for drinks tonight, worrying that I might drink too much and not be able to return home. He is so considerate of the younger generation; he probably got a room for Miss Conner to rest in for the same reason."

"Uncle Conner got me room 2808; I haven’t gone to rest yet. Maybe Miss Conner’s room is right next door to mine."

This last comment from William was somewhat superfluous.

Brock knew his son too well.

He doesn’t speak needlessly!

This last sentence was clearly meant to emphasize the room number.

Upon hearing the room number, the Conners’ faces changed instantly, their gazes shifting from Liam to their own son and then glancing at their daughter.

It seemed,

they suddenly understood something.

"Uncle Conner, Auntie, why are you looking at me like that?" William protested innocently.

Drinks, a room already opened, a woman lying on the bed...

The Conner couple naturally guessed what their daughter and Liam were about to do.

Owen Conner looked at Liam, "That room wasn’t for you to sleep in, was it meant for your nephew?"

With that statement,

the atmosphere in the room became very delicate.

Brock’s face was the first to change.

After all, his son’s heart was entirely set on Zoe Bell.

How could he possibly take the initiative to be with another woman?

Unless...

Liam wanted to use the excuse of drinking to employ some unsavory tactics.

Some schemes, despite being despicable and high-risk, if carried out by a close relative, would also have a high success rate.

"Liam, what do you mean by that?" Brock was genteel-looking, but that didn’t mean he was without temper.

"Brother-in-law..."

Liam had barely begun to speak when Yumi stepped forward and slapped him, "Liam Hugh, to harm your own nephew, you’re simply no good."

"Last time at the dinner, you were trying to set them up by all means. Just because William already has someone and didn’t want to accept your arrangement, you started using these vile tactics? Can you live up to my little sister’s trust? This is her only child."

"You’re worse than pigs and dogs!"

"What did you call me?" Liam’s anger surged.

The punches from Owen were because he was caught off guard and confused by the sudden turn of events, but being slapped by his wife in public made him feel like he couldn’t save face.

"Yumi Johnson, have you lost your mind?"

As he raised his arm, intending to fight back, Brock Hale swiftly stepped forward and seized his wrist, "What? You want to hit your wife?"

"Brother-in-law, you saw it too, she started it."

"And this thing with William, did Miss Conner take matters into her own hands, or did you also get involved?"
