No 1 Supreme Warrior

The wedding was held on the deck of the cruise ship. The guests could enjoy the evening breeze and some fine wine before the brilliant night view above. The only thing missing in the eyes of some male attendees was a collection of beautiful young ladies to share the intimate experience with…

This was Oceania's main selling point.

As William and the group walked onto the deck, they could spot some immaculately dressed men and women chatting with each other in small groups.

All of them were from well-to-do families, and were very difficult to access on regular occasions.

William sat down in the spot that was reserved for the Fords. Astonishingly, the Fords were given seats at the head table, which was normally reserved for close family friends.

The other attendees were none too happy about the seating arrangement, of course. "How come they get to take center stage? They almost went bankrupt!"

Caroline glanced at her surroundings, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "It's still early, Mom. Let's do some recon."

Rebecca readily agreed.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Caroline," Rebecca said in a hushed tone. "There are many fine young bachelors here. It'd be nice if you could get acquainted with some of them."

Caroline smiled at her sweetly. "Don't worry, Mom. I know what to do."

William snorted. "Says the one who dated a complete scumbag."

Rebecca blushed, knowing that William was referring to Raymond. "We all make mistakes, dear," she said. "Look at what happened with Leo. You spoke so highly of him back then, yet he ran off on the day he was supposed to marry Kate Lawson. And he's still as useless as ever, after waltzing back into town."

William's features hardened as he let out another snort.

"Speaking of that charlatan," Rebecca said, glancing around. "I wonder if he's left already." Rebecca snickered. "He's a fool if he thinks someone like him belongs in a place like this."

Suddenly, William's phone rang.

William's expression sobered the moment he glanced at the caller ID. "Hello, Miss Ward."

"Hello, Mr. Ford. On behalf of Atlas Beauty, I'd like to propose a few stipulations regarding our collaboration..."

"Sure, sure... No problem." William nodded repeatedly.

"Who was that?" Rebecca asked.
