In that moment, she realized that she valued William Wilson far more than his role as an idol.

Though she didn’t quite understand why, she knew that she cared about William Wilson.

Be it an idol, a neighbor, or an older brother she knew, in any form, she was clear that she cared about William Wilson.

Cared enough to want to get justice for him.

"Sort of... using a borrowed knife to kill."

William Wilson carefully chose his words as he began to speak, not intending to hide anything from Laura Jones, explaining to her what he had arranged for his people to do.

After listening, Laura Jones couldn’t help but feel a bit mixed.

The situation with Selim wasn’t a secret, and if William truly wanted to investigate, it would be easy to uncover.

The debts she owed from online loans were purely her own doing; she had no one else to blame.

How should she put it? Informing the loan company of her whereabouts, while unethical, was simply tit for tat for someone like Selim.

Laura Jones didn’t object to William’s actions, nor did she gloat over it; her reaction was somewhat indifferent.

William, seeing her silence, worried that she thought he was too ruthless, quickly explained:

"I have people watching; I only let the loan company scare her a bit. If those people really intended to harm her, my people would intervene."

He just wanted to give the girl a harsh lesson, nothing criminal.

Especially someone like Charlotte Gresia, who didn’t deserve him to act illegally.

Laura Jones was initially stunned by his explanation, then realized he misunderstood her reaction, and laughed:

"I didn’t think you did anything wrong. I’m not a saint. When someone bullies the person I care about, how could I possibly think about repaying evil with good?"

Of the things she said, William didn’t absorb much, except for the phrase "the person I care about," which struck him to his core.

The laughter in his eyes spread freely, and he looked at her with a smile, saying:

"The person you care about? Are you referring to me?"

"Yes."

Laura Jones answered openly, "You’re my husband, after all. How could I let anyone bully you?"

Those words were too sweet, directly reaching the depths of William’s heart.

However, he wasn’t blinded by Laura’s "sweet talk." Seeing the candid look in his little wife’s eyes, he knew she honestly meant what she said.

Just like other wife fans who defended him.

At this moment, William wasn’t sure if he should feel sad or disappointed.

The little girl he always had in his heart, the one he wanted to marry, was so oblivious. How long would he have to wait to actually marry her?

William sighed and, instead of lingering at the door, pulled Laura Jones into her home.

Unlike the previous formalities, this time he was more at ease.

As for the rumors online about him and Hannah Taylor, he didn’t bother to explain much. Those netizens weren’t worth the effort.

But it’s different with his little wife; he didn’t want to leave any room for misunderstandings or doubts.

"Hannah, she’s my younger cousin sister."

Laura Jones looked surprised, "I know, I saw it online."

"A very close cousin. Her mom is my mom’s biological younger sister."

William explained with a serious face.

Laura hadn’t expected this; it turned out they were so closely related as cousins.

With William’s explanation, she recalled reading a comment online about how William and Hannah looked somewhat alike.
