In terms of looks, Julia Walker was not unattractive—she even had a certain charm—but her facial features were a bit too sharp, which was partly due to genetics, and also related to her family environment and personal status.
“What do you mean, President Yang? These days, there are plenty of people who call themselves president.”
William Walker showed no respect at all, still grinning cheekily as he spoke.
“You—what’s wrong with you? President Young of the Yunfan Family, got it now?”
Julia Walker was furious.
This guy—he never acted like this before. Every time he came to the house, he would quietly eat and drink, rarely spoke, and knew how to keep a low profile. What’s gotten into him today?
“Yunfan Family? I know, that’s the company always taking deposits and paying interest… By the way, President Young, what’s your company’s main business? You collect so much money—what kind of business are you actually running? What kind of business makes it so easy to pay such high interest?”
Julia Walker had thought that by dropping the big name “Yunfan Family,” even if William Walker didn’t bow down, he would at least show some awe and admiration. Who would have thought he’d still be so irreverent, even faintly interrogating Eugene Young.
Don’t be fooled by his youth—there was something sharp in his gaze, like a seasoned veteran.
Eugene Young’s face had already fallen, staring coldly at William Walker without saying a word.
To be honest, ever since the Yunfan Family rose to prominence in Yundu City, very few people dared to be so presumptuous in front of President Young. If it weren’t for being in this Number One Compound today, and not having his bodyguards with him, he would have already had someone deal with this insolent kid.
Eugene Young was no saint.
As for William Walker’s status, President Young really didn’t care much.
In the 1990s, it was the heyday of businessmen, who could stand shoulder to shoulder with many top officials. In the eyes of the billionaire President Young, William Walker’s grandfather, a retired old man, was already a thing of the past.
Among the current big shots living in this Number One Compound, Eugene Young had visited more than one, and was even a regular guest of one or two of them.
If it weren’t for Julia Walker’s sake today, Eugene Young really might not have come to celebrate the birthday of a retired old man.
President Young was busy!
This kid must be spoiled, so clueless.
“William Walker, what are you trying to do?”
Julia Walker was completely enraged, her face dark as she shouted angrily.
She had originally planned to use this opportunity to announce her relationship with Eugene Young to her parents and family, but who could have expected things to turn out like this? Her good mood was completely ruined.
Unbelievable!
If this were her own futures company, Julia Walker would have had this guy thrown out already.
Julia Walker’s angry shout immediately drew the attention of everyone in the house—a large group of people came rushing out, led by a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, who was William Walker’s eldest uncle, Gavin Walker. Next to him was a slightly younger woman, William Walker’s eldest aunt, Lillian Walker.
William Walker’s father had four siblings in total, with Charles Walker being the second.
Except for the stubborn Charles Walker, the siblings Gavin Walker, Lillian Walker, and Julia Walker all worked in the provincial government, had good jobs, and lived respectable lives.
“What’s going on?”
Gavin Walker asked with a stern face.
He worked in a government department and held a certain leadership position. He was the eldest among the siblings and carried considerable authority. Seeing as today was the old man’s birthday and many distinguished guests had already arrived, he was naturally displeased to find people arguing at the door.
“Brother, you’re just in time!”
“Look at your nephew—who knows what’s gotten into him, he actually dared to be so rude to President Young!”
Julia Walker was so angry her face turned pale, her chest heaving with rage, not knowing how to vent her fury.
Gavin Walker’s gaze fell on William Walker. William Walker was wearing the short-sleeved yellow shirt issued by the police academy, sweaty and with messy hair, giving off an unlikable impression at first glance.
Gavin Walker was a strict and rigid person, just like Julia Walker, and didn’t like this unruly nephew at all.
But William Walker clearly didn’t realize how unwelcome he was. He still wore a casual smile, unconcerned by his aunt’s reproach, and said, “Auntie, I wasn’t really rude to him, was I? I just asked what kind of business he does. Unless President Young’s business can’t see the light of day and can’t even be asked about?”
“If that’s the case, then our Wang family really doesn’t welcome people like that!”
William Walker’s voice was loud and unrestrained, so much so that all the guests inside could hear him. Every guest frowned in unison.
This was the Number One Compound, after all!
Chapter 4 The Imminent Family Crisis
“The Wang family? What a joke. What gives you the right to represent the Wang family?”
Julia Walker was nearly faint with anger, barely holding back her fury as she gritted her teeth and asked.
William Walker shrugged and said, “I’m the direct grandson of the Wang family—why can’t I represent the Wang family?”
“You…”
For a moment, Julia Walker was speechless.
“William Walker, that’s enough!”
Gavin Walker gave a low shout, his expression extremely stern.
Clearly, he also believed his nephew was stirring up trouble.
Who was Eugene Young?
One of the top bosses in all of Tiannan Province, personally gracing Villa No. 7 today. Even if it didn’t make the Wang family shine, it was at least not beneath them. How could a young, reckless junior of the Wang family be allowed to offend him like this?
Setting aside Eugene Young’s billions, as a guest, this attitude was unacceptable.
“Have you been drinking?”
