Chapter 239 Banning Beth (P art Two)
"Another kid? Gee!" Beth pushed Alick's head in disgust and shouted, "Get out of here! Two uneducated bastards! Don't pull my clothes!"
"What are you doing? Stop it!"
Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind them. William had just arrived and he witnessed such a shocking scene.
"Ouch, Mr. Lan." When Beth heard William's voice, she pushed Alick away and pretended to be sad and tearful.
It only took two steps for William to walk from the door to his desk. The anger in his eyes was so intense it could almost burn Beth to ashes.
With a loud sound, he slapped Beth across the face.
It happened so fast Beth almost did not see what William had done. She only felt a burning sensation on her face and her mind went blank. Her body trembled and she could not stand firm.
"Beth An!" William hissed when she mentioned her name. His hand encircled Beth's slender neck and squeezed it. His blue veins protruded in his hand and the joints of his knuckles turned pale because of the force. "Ah!" Before Beth could even come to her senses from the slap, William strangled her. His grip tightened and her face turned bluish. She could not breathe so she desperately stretched out her hand and patted William's hand. "Mr... Lan!" she said with difficulty.
"They are my children!" All of a sudden, William pushed Beth against the wall. His grip was so strong Beth's feet lifted from the ground. "What were you doing just now? Huh?! Do you want to die? I'll give you a free ride!"
William's expression was almost distorted. The children he wanted to take good care of were bullied again!
Beth was in danger from hypoxia, but what William had said echoed in her mind clearly. These two were actually William's children? How come?
William's grip on Beth's neck seemed to be unceasing. "I'll teach you a lesson to let you know what happens if anyone tries to bully my children!"
Beth could hardly breathe. Her eyes were full of tears and her makeup was smudged all over her face. "Boss, I was just... Kidding... Kidding with them."
"Boss — " With a file in his hand, Virgil casually pushed the door open and saw what was going on in the office. Without saying anything, he rushed to William, and grabbed his arm at once. "Mr. Lan, please let go of her! We are in the company now! Killing people is illegal! Oh my God! Boss, what is wrong with you?"
"Illegal? Who cares?" William sneered. "Today, I have to kill her for certain!"
Virgil looked around anxiously. He caught a glimpse of Alick and Elissa, who were huddling together and watching William intently. Again, he tried to persuade William. "Mr. Lan, please calm down. Your children are watching! They would be scared! Calm down!"
Children?
As if he woke up from a daze, the blood-red eyes of William fell into silence. His anger suddenly dissipated and he let go of Beth instantly. He quickly turned around and walked to the two kids.
"Woo! Dad!"
Elissa cried sadly. When she saw William walking towards them, she opened her arms and squeezed into his arms.
"Good girl, Elissa. Good boy, Alick." William held the two kids in his arms all at once. His eyes were full of guilt and shame. Nevertheless, he rubbed their hair and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Wah!" Elissa could not stop crying. "I want Mommy. I don't like here anymore!"
"Dad, that aunt is evil." Alick also pursed his lips in fear. A hint of cruelty flashed through William's eyes again. Holding the two kids in his arms, he ordered to Virgil, "Take Beth An out! Ask her agent to see me. We'll terminate her contract now! Also, ban Beth completely and inform all companies that if anyone hires and lets her enter the entertainment industry again, they will be against me!"
"Yes, boss." Virgil nodded and pulled Beth, who was still unable to stand because of horrors, out of the room.
"Elissa, my good girl." William kissed her and asked softly, "Do you feel any pain?"
"My ear and hair hurt!" Elissa's tears fell down non-stop. "Wah! Wah! I want Mommy."
"It's all right," comforted William. He stood up with the kids in his arms and walked out. "I'll take you to Mommy now. With Dad around, no one will dare bully you again. Be good." Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

As soon as Mary walked out of the meeting room, Jill came over and said hurriedly, "Manager Lu, Mr. Lan of the AJ Group is waiting for you in the office with your children."
"What?" With a puzzled look in her face, Mary nodded. "I see." She quickly walked to her office.
"Mommy!" "Mommy!"
As soon as she opened the door of the office, Mary saw her two 'meatballs' running towards her with grievances on their faces. When the kids reached her they buried themselves into her arms.
"Wah!" they cried out in unison.
"What's wrong?" Mary looked at William in confusion. They had just been separated for a short while. How did the two children become like this?
"Mary." With a guilty look in his eyes, William told Mary what had happened. Seeing that Mary's face was getting longer and longer, he hurriedly said, "I've banned her. I'm sorry, Mary. I didn't take good care of the kids."
Mary felt so sorry for her children. She roared in disgust, "Of course it's your fault! Beth An? Andy Duan? Every time my children got hurt, it was because of your girlfriends, wasn't it? You are really... I'm so disappointed in you!"
"Mary, I really didn't know. I have no idea why she went—"
"All right." Mary waved her hand and continued, "If you had nothing to do with her, why would she be so attached to you? What's more, I saw it with my own eyes."
The scene in the elevator a few months ago flashed through Mary's mind and her ears buzzed.
"Mary, I swear," said William, whose heart skipped a beat, "I really have nothing to do with her!"
"You — "
"What happened?" At this moment, Barry heard the noise and rushed over.
The two kids had not seen Barry for a long time, so they felt even more aggrieved. They immediately threw themselves to Barry's arms to seek comfort.
"Alick and Elissa, tell Daddy Barry who bullied my babies?"
Looking at them with sadness in his eyes, William knew that it was indeed his fault. Not only was he unable to accompany the kids when they grew up in the past four years, but they were also bullied under his watch. He realized that even after they got together with him, it would just cause them harm.
Mary rubbed her eyebrows and said in a low voice, "Well, William, you can go back first. I'll take care of the children here."
"Mary." Heaving a sigh, William stared at her for a long time and said, "I'll go first. I'll deal with everything. It'll take no time. You..." William looked at Barry worriedly and said, "Mary, you must wait for me!" With that, he left gloomily.
Barry looked at the disappearing figure of William and asked, "What's wrong? Who bullied them?"
"Forget it." Mary shook her head. She had decided to believe in William one more time. She thought that he could handle matters well and that he had nothing to do with those women anymore. Also, she believed that he would take good care of the kids.
Looking at her, Barry felt a dull pain in his heart but he said nothing.
Seeing that her stuff was thrown out of the company and the contract she signed was no longer valid, Beth felt like she was living in a nightmare.
She was supposed to win this year's award of best leading actress. How did things become like this all of a sudden?
If she could not step into the entertainment industry again, how would she survive in the future? Gosh! William had completely blocked all her paths! Would she be like Andy?
No...
An idea suddenly came to Beth's mind.
That night, regardless of the bruises on her neck and the marks on her face, Beth entered a senior club awkwardly. She wore a hat, scarf, and mask to conceal the marks.
In the private room of the club, a man was making tea elegantly.
Suddenly, the door creaked open.
"Here you are." Without raising his head, Frank picked up the teacup and smelled it. "What can I do for you?"
"Here I am," Beth answered in a hoarse voice and removed all her accessories.
"What happened to you?" Frank asked with raised eyebrows. A horrified expression flashed through his eyes.
"I was beaten by William Lan," Beth answered in a low and hoarse voice. She told Frank everything and he listened to her intently with a frown.
"So you came here today to ask for money?" Frank smiled.
"Yes!" Beth nodded. She had nothing, and she could not live without money. The only person who could help her right now was the man in front of her.
"I can give you what you want, but you should also give what I want."
"Of course." Beth took out a small USB flash drive from her bag and handed it to Frank. "The videos are all in it." Frank took the flash drive, played with it for a while and said, "Okay. The money will be transferred to your account tomorrow."
"Okay."
"See you around."
After putting back her mask, scarf, and hat, Beth left furtively.
'William...'
Frank closed his eyes in pain and agony. 'Do you know that I have been waiting for an opportunity?'
