Elisa’s whole body chilled. “Dad has been working in this business for many years, and it is impossible to have such obvious problems, but he didn’t notice them. He has handled many projects and building designs, and he won’t make such low-level mistakes.”
“I don’t believe it either, but now all the evidence points to him.”
“So, now Dad has been taken to be investigated?”
Emily nodded feebly.
Elisa was silent for a long time. “Mom, why didn’t you and Dad tell me before?”
Emily opened her mouth and then said, “If we tell you, you will ask your husband for help. You just got married, and I don’t want my son-in-law to be involved too much in our family affairs, giving your in-laws the illusion that we have too many family affairs. You will have a hard time in the Brich family in the future.”
Elisa’s heart was painful and warm. “If we can’t handle this matter, we can only let William help. If Dad’s affairs are big, they will surely know that and they will feel that we don’t treat them as a family at all.”
Emily sighed, “You are right. Go back tonight and talk to William to see how he reacts.”
“Dad is not at home, and I will stay with you tonight.”
“I just have a cold and not a severe illness, and as long as you don’t eyesore me, I can still live for decades.”
Elisa snorted and moved the food back to the table.
Although her mother didn’t let Elisa live at home, she accompanied her until ten o’clock to drive back to the villa.
Back at the villa, it was almost eleven o’clock.
William was still sitting in the living room to deal with his work. His picturesque eyes were concentrating on the notebook on his lap, and his slender fingers were moving quickly on the keyboard.
Elisa didn’t expect him to wait for her and saw that he was busy and lightened her movements.
William sent the revised documents to his assistant and looked up at her. “How is Mom?”
“It’s a common cold, nothing to worry about.”
“It’s good to be fine.” William pointed to the sofa opposite him. “Sit down.”
Elisa sat down and considered in her heart how to tell William about his father.
After hesitating for a moment, she said, “My father may need your help.”
“Hmm?” William said.
His voice was lazy and somewhat charming.
“My dad met something that I couldn’t handle,” Elisa told the whole story.
William pondered for a long time after listening and said, “This is also what I want to tell you. I was busy taking care of Bruce and the company this past few days and I didn’t know until today. I believe in your father’s personality. I will let the relevant personnel promote and investigate this matter more and will not let your father be affected.”
Elisa’s eyes suddenly turned red, and she almost cried.
William only knew her for a short time but chose to believe her and her father when things happened.
“William, thank you.” Elisa sucked her nose and choked.
“You go upstairs and rest first. If there is new news later, I’ll tell you in time, and don’t let Mom worry.”
“Mm-hmm.” Elisa was embarrassed, she scratched her head, and went upstairs.
William smiled and looked at the figure of a slightly childish little girl disappearing on the second floor before taking out her mobile phone.
“Brother, why are you calling in the middle of the night? What can I do for you?” Jerry’s lazy voice sounded, and a burst of cheers from men and women sounded.
William frowned. “Find a quiet place.”
“Wait a minute.” Jerry stood up from the sofa, waved his hand to the woman who threatened to hold him, and walked out of the box. “Okay, brother, you say it.”
“You help me check Emman White. I don’t know much about things in your circle. Who wants to get Emman White this time?”
“Oh, this thing. Emman’s reputation has always been excellent in the industry. This sudden incident is nothing more than that, someone doesn’t like him and wants to get rid of him for a long time. However, the people behind that are really memorable. Who would have thought that Emman White would become your father-in-law?”
“So you know who’s behind it?”
“I’m still checking the specific person. I heard that it is Salem’s family.”
“Andrea Salem’s family?” William’s voice suddenly cooled down.
“No, even if Andrea is dead, she is also your eldest sister-in-law. Salem’s family depends on your family and won’t be so blind. I heard it was collateral of Salem’s family. Do you remember the last time we went to the seminar on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases? The current girlfriend of Elisa’s ex-boyfriend is Julia, which is probably related to this matter.”
William suddenly burst out in his eyes and said, “I will check this person. You will push forward the matter in Emman White, try your best to minimize the influence of things, and don’t affect his future development.”
“I see.” Jerry wondered, “How is Bruce? Is he still going with you to the company? I am willing to attend the group headquarters meeting with you.”
“There are some changes.”
“That’s good.”
Jerry seems to think of something. “By the way, Natalie asked me about your relationship with your wife a few days ago. It seems that she can’t bear it.”
“My wife is Elisa White. If you meet her again in the future, just don’t mind her.”
“Well, ok I will not mind her. I’ll hang up, and you take care of Bruce.”
Jerry just hung up his mobile phone and turned around to see Natalie standing behind him. “You startled me, lady, can you please make a noise while you walk.”
Natalie looked pale unceasingly, “What did William say to you?”
“William asked me to help him investigate something.” Jerry said, “Your health is not good yet. What are you doing here?”
“I’ll go crazy if I stay any longer. Jerry, do you think I have no chance at all?”
Jerry thought of what William said. “There are so many men in the world, you can choose someone to like.”
Natalie recognized the meaning of his words, “Why won’t he forgive me? I sometimes wonder if he ever loved me. If you ever loved someone, how could you turn your back to them so easily? I have become like this for that child, and he is not soft-hearted to think about what I did.”
Jerry didn’t know how to comfort her. In fact, he never got along with Natalie.
Natalie was like water, she could cry anytime and anywhere, and needed meticulous care.
No one had such good leisure as God every day.
But he was not bored with Natalie.
Jerry patted her on the shoulder. “You are not good for anyone. William can’t see that you are uncomfortable. Hurry up and raise your body.” Jerry said, ran back to the room, he was afraid that Natalie would pester him again.
Natalie stood in the empty corridor, her body trembled violently.

Elisa rolled back and forth in bed in fear, she was trembling all night until it was almost dawn.
She got up with a pair of dark circles under her eyes and found that it was weekend before she rolled back to bed.
It was almost eight o’clock before she got up. When she went downstairs, William and Bruce had already returned from playing sports.
