While he was talking, William rolled up his sleeves, exposing the scar on his arm. And then he started telling Lydia a story about his childhood, "When I was eleven, I fell into the pool. My Second Uncle saw me fall in the water with his own eyes, but he didn't rescue me. Instead, he stepped on me. This scar is when I tried to struggle into the pool, and the wound was scratched. I nearly drowned, luckily a maid came through and saved me. Otherwise, the person your Ahn Family will seek assistance from is my Second Uncle."
Lydia stared at William with wide-eyed, and suddenly William was so quiet about what had happened to him. Although Lydia has often encountered cruel and wicked people, but she never thought of it. There were people who killed someone, especially their own family for money. Her stepmother and stepsister were mean, but all they could do was come up with a little schemes. Not to mention his own nephew, who shared the same blood as he did.
The lips of Lydia trembled, and he asked William, "So..., did you file a report about that?"
"Can I report it to the police?" William laughed when he heard of Lydia question. "Conflicts within the family are very serious, so you have to get used to them. The Chang Family can grow to this extent, with benefits and disputes are very complicated. Being in a family with history and power doesn't mean you get to do what you want. There are a lot of people from the Chang Family. With it's scale, if it is badly managed, you will be doomed. Although you are the successor to the Chang Family, they will judge you only by your ability. You may be expelled from the Chang Family anytime. The majority of my family supports my Second Uncle. They don't want me in charge, because they know I can't be used to their advantage. And now both tigers had to persuade the wolf pack standing next to become their companion. However, if that tiger were left alone, I would have to deal with the wolf pack, and their interests would be at risk. Something so complicated in the Chang Family. I'm telling you all this so you won't stand in my way. If my position in the Chang Family is affected by you, Grandma can't protect you either."
Lydia frowned, she felt a sudden coldness around her body. Now she sensed that the internal relationship of the Chang Family had truly frightened and horrified her. Even if she had met a bastard like Archie, and her crafty stepmother Brooke, they weren't good people. However, Lydia never thought, under the same roof still must beware of her own family who would hurt her own life.
"Are you scared now?" laughingly smiled William while looking at Lydia. "Therefore, you should not be a member of the Chang Family. If you live your life the way the Ahn Family does, you're only broke and losing money. But now that you are in the Chang Family, it is highly likely that you will lose your life."
Lydia tightly pursed her lips, in a low voice she said, "Aren't you still surviving and staying alive?"
"Hmm?" William's eyebrows rose slowly, and there was a little surprise when he saw Lydia, "What does that mean?"
Lydia lifted her head and watched William. With all her courage, she repeated. "Have you not survived and remain alive? Of course, I'm worried about dying, because I'm still young. I still have a lot of things that haven't been done. But compared to death, I'm more scared that if my father regains consciousness, the disappointing look on him caused the Ahn Family had fail. I'm afraid I might die, but I think it was better than watching my dad suffer. You can stay alive in the Chang Family all this time, so I think I can do the same. I know my capabilities don't compare to yours, but they won't be very different from yours either. You're already a powerful person in the Chang Family, sure, it won't be hard for you to keep my life safe!"
Once Lydia had finished speaking, she lowered her head still. Lydia couldn't figure out why, in front of the others, she always had a hard and tough side. But only before William, she was very frightened and feeble. After getting lost in a deep thought, she began to look up again. Lydia secretly looking at William. When she met the gaze of William who was watching her, she could not help herself that her heart blew a beat again.
It was that kind of cold look that made Lydia incapable of containing the fear that emerged. She was worried that William might despise her even more. Lydia felt as though William was watching and appreciating her own worth. William appears to have thought deeply and seriously. She was concerned that William was currently considering himself a judge when he was giving a final result to Lydia.
There was a characteristic about William, what he said was as the end result of a trial. It was forcing Lydia to do her best in front of William, so as to obtain a better judgement.
However, it turned out that William remained quiet. After a very long period of silence, he said with coldness, "Don't think much of yourself. And never underestimate your enemy, do not think that they were foolish. Since life will not give you a better chance, you should try to reach it on your own. My Second Uncle and Aunt had a son. Just so you know, their son, who is also my younger cousin, his name is Tyler Chang. He slithers like a snake, you better be careful with people like that..."
Lydia immediately asked, "Why is he such a great man? Do you have a hard time with him? I don't think he's showing up publicly with the status of a Chang Family. Does he have an important hidden role?"
William took a look at Lydia, burst into laughter and shook his head, "No, because you are a woman. So you have to be wary of him. Tyler knows very well how to grasp the hearts of women. He's a notorious womanizer..."
After taking a deep breath, with his eyes narrowed, he turned and watched Lydia, "Besides, you have now become my woman. I don't want any more gossip to happen in the Chang Family again. Especially cheap gossip like that. For example, the relationship between my wife and cousin brother-in-law."
In deep thought Lydia tried to handle William's words. What did it mean to happened again? Has it ever happened before?
Lydia felt this was really above and beyond expectations. Lydia never met Tyler before. But from the point of view of people, looks, intelligent, and family, William was already perfect. However, it turns out there are still women who broke up with William, and choosen William's cousin, Tyler? How great was Tyler, that he could snatch William's woman?
After thinking about it, Lydia thought it could happen. Though from the outside William sounds very perfect, but he was truly a very cold and arrogant person. As for the feelings of people, William didn't seem to care about it. Of course, if he only leans on faces, someone would get bored in no time. Neither was intelligence the most important factor in a relationship. A family background which seems perfect, concealed many crises behind it. The most important thing in a relation were communication and comfort between them.
Even something which seems perfect, but that didn't allow somebody to stay forever.
Not to mention it was Lydia herself, in the beginning she was also drawn by William's face. But now also due to the nature of William, she didn't have a good impression of him. Rather, Lydia seems somewhat frightened by William.
