Archer was shocked by Gavin’s words. “Dad, are you crazy?”
“Hah… do you have a better solution then?” Gavin asked.
“No! But how about Raymond? What will people say about Valeria?” Archer disagreed.
“Do you have a better way? You wouldn’t be waiting here if you had one!” Gavin felt that he had gone soft now since he was old. If it happened when he was younger, he would not have agreed to such an absurd incident. However, he realised that he was not as stubborn as he was in the past anymore.
“I’ve thought about it. If we don’t agree with Valeria, she won’t return and acknowledge us as her family! That wicked woman can do anything she wants because she’s insane now, but I won’t stand still while she hurts my granddaughter.” His eyes were full of fierceness.
“I’ll get Valeria back, so give all your property to her. The wicked woman has been unfettered under our protection. Normally, I’ll ignore whatever she does, but if she hurts our family, I’ll make sure to give her a slap across her face!”
Archer had the same idea as him. “That’s what I thought, but William, I…”
He thought that Archer looked down at William’s status because the latter was a libertine. “We must endure it first without messing up our plans. Now, you have to accept her request. After that, I’ll go and find several outstanding people to meet her. She won’t break up with him now, but when she finds out that he has no other talents, she will give him up.”
Archer gave a wry smile. “Dad, you’ve underestimated him. He’s not a libertine, but the president of the Wolf Group!”
“What? Are you kidding me?” Gavin jumped up in surprise.
“Yes, he is the legendary and mysterious president of the Wolf Group!”
He took a long time to calm down after hearing Archer’s affirmative answer. “Is that so? There’s no reason to reject him anymore because he and Valeria are a perfect match. I’ll accept him!”
“How about Raymond? Have you considered his feelings if they are together?”
“Whatever! I was against their relationship because of their different seniority levels, and also because I thought that he was an ignorant and incompetent playboy. Since he is the president of Wolf Group, why wouldn’t I agree to it?” Gavin retorted.
“But you can’t find a better son-in-law that can protect Valeria, right? It’s settled then!”
“Dad!” Archer thought that Gavin would oppose their relationship. In fact, his attitude has completely changed after knowing William’s identity.
Savannah and Charles had assigned someone to keep an eye on Gavin. According to the report, Archer had gone to his bungalow.
Savannah was a little happy. “Something must have happened to the b*stard, so Archer went to tell Gavin. If Gavin knows that Raymond was injured, he will definitely visit him in the hospital since he favors him so much. We’ll know the result if we follow him.”
However, it was completely different from what they thought because Archer did not come out, and nothing happened even though they waited till 11 p. m.
Charles was suddenly aware that something was wrong. “Did our plan fail since they didn’t react at all?”
“What? Wasn’t she dead? Otherwise, who would be the one?” Savannah was uneasy.
“I’ve always thought that Valeria was the one who died, and Raymond was the one who got hurt. However, it could be our helpers…”
Charles was smart as he immediately realized this problem. “Yeah, that’s possible. If not, why would your helpers not call you after finishing their task? Also, why would Archer and Gavin be so calm now?”
“Uhm…” She was freaking out. “How could they be so lucky? What should we do now?”
“We’ve already alerted them. It’s too difficult for us to proceed with the plan.” He sighed. “But we’re lucky because our helpers won’t betray us, so they still never suspected us.”
“Charles, have you forgotten about the extortion message?” She reminded him. “If that gets disclosed, can we still escape? We’ll have to find that blackmailer right now and kill her!”
He felt uneasy when she mentioned it. “The only suspicious person is Ashley, but I don’t think it’s her because of the bank account. This person is very cunning as the message is sent online, and she asked that we transfer the money to a foreign bank account. Thus, there’s no way to find out.”
“So, are we going to give them the money anyway?”
“We have no other choice! Let’s calm down first!” Charles had no other solutions right now.
That night, Archer stayed at Gavin’s house. Both of them rarely got along with each other because they fought over the matter related to Natalie.
However, tonight was an exception. After calmly discussing Valeria’s matter, they played chess for several hours until eleven o’clock.
Archer went to the guest room to rest and think about the incident that happened in the resort. He called the police to inquire about the interrogation result of the injured criminal.
They answered that he was a criminal who already killed many people. He refused to admit it because he knew that he was bound to die anyway.
He had already suspected that it was Savannah, but he couldn’t alert her as he had no evidence yet.
He had the ability to kill her, but that would be too easy for her! She needed to pay for her vicious crimes and make sure that she suffered more than her victim’s dead! In fact, he wanted her to be miserable in her whole life!
When he thought of it, his bodyguard’s call came, “Sir, the sample you gave me has been proved to be different from the woman in the hospital!”
He had expected this. Then who was the woman living in the small building?
What were Lucian and Gonzalec planning to do?
Suddenly, he recalled the scent of the familiar flowers that he saw in the room.
Was it Natalie?
It was impossible! She was dead. He had visited her grave once, so she shouldn’t be alive!
But who could it be other than her? He had to find out the identity of this woman. It seemed that he could only keep an eye on Lucian for now.
Valeria was in a bad mood in William’s house after knowing that she was Archer’s daughter and Raymond’s biological brother.
William tried his best to make her happy, but she still looked upset. He felt bad to see her sitting on the balcony in a daze as she used to hug and act in a cutesy manner in front of him.
He blamed Archer and Lamont. How could they be so impatient? He had planned to reveal the truth slowly to her. But how could Valeria take it once they had dumped so much information on her?
He sighed. After that, Marcus’s call came. “Mr. Howard, the test results are out. The drugs will cause amnesia and damage a person’s nervous system.”
