In a room of the Wolf Group’s hotel, Talitha acted like a spoiled child as soon as she saw Gavin. She had spoken for two to three hours and still felt like she hadn’t finished what she wanted to say.
However, Gavin was a little tired, so he looked at the time and said, “Talitha, grandpa is tired, I’m going to rest for a bit.”
“Alright! I’ll rest in the guest room too. I’ll ask uncle to treat us to dinner tonight.” She answered familiarly.
“I’m afraid your uncle doesn’t have time…”
“Then grandpa, you can treat me instead. Raymond and my aunt can join us too.” She immediately chimed in.
He frowned and said, “I don’t have time either. Let’s do it some other day!”
“Grandpa, do you not like me anymore? Did I do something wrong?” She pouted and looked sad.
“No, you didn’t. Why would I hate you?”
“You don’t? I realized that you treat me differently now. In the past, you would have a lot of things to talk to me about, but today you weren’t very enthusiastic to talk to me, and I was holding up the conversation the whole time.” Talitha felt upset.
He massaged the space between his eyebrows and said, “I’ve been busy for the past few days, so I am a little tired. Why don’t you go look for your aunt? I will treat you to a meal next time.”
Having said that, Talitha knew to stop bothering him anymore, so she stood up and said, “Alright, I’ll go look for my aunt. Grandpa, have a good rest! Don’t forget that you owe me dinner!”
“Okay!” Seeing that she agreed to leave, he immediately let out a sigh of relief.
Then, Talitha picked up her bag and left. After entering the elevator, she sent a message to Raelyn with a gloomy face. “Mom, I met grandpa just now. He was not as excited to see me as he used to be. He was very bored when we talked just now, and I’m in a bad mood now.”
“You got upset over such a small thing? Then when Valeria returns to the Saunders family one day, won’t you go crazy?”
“So, I will never let her get what she wants! By the way, I saw Valeria just now, and I bumped into her super hard to vent my anger!”
“Don’t act rashly. You have to treat her nicely now. You two are cousins! Don’t make your hatred towards her so obvious, understand?”
“I know! Don’t worry, I’m not that stupid!”
When the elevator stopped, she walked out and went straight to the parking lot. After getting in the car, she sat in the driver’s seat and thought for a moment. Then, she sent a message to Raymond. “Raymond, I’m back. I’m in B City now!”
On the other end, Raymond was stunned when he saw her message. He didn’t hate this cousin of his, so he replied immediately, “When did you come?”
“I just arrived today and went to visit grandpa. Do you have time? Do you want to meet up? I haven’t seen you for a long time. I miss you a lot.”
“Sure!”
Seeing that he agreed to meet her, she sighed in relief. Gavin was neutral towards her, Archer did not even bother to answer her call, and if Raymond had ignored her too, she would absolutely lose it!
Raymond was different from the others as he was pure and innocent, so she had to seize him and keep him by her side.
He would be useful for her to cause trouble.
Meanwhile, after the meeting, William left the Wolf Group through the underground parking lot. On the way out, the hospital called him and said, “Sir William, the patient’s family arranged to have another examination. I did as you ordered, and the results will be the same as the previous one.”
“Alright, thank you!”
“There’s another thing. Julie Evans has woken up.”
“Really?” He was surprised to hear that. “When was it?”
“I think she has been up for some time, but she only started interacting with the doctors and nurses today. So the doctors said that she woke up today.”
“Did anyone else visit her before that?” He asked.
“Yes, her daughter, Ashley, came to see her.”
“Is that so?” He thought for a moment and said, “Let the police deal with Julie. She is disfigured and crippled now, and she can’t even speak, but she is a smart person, so she will let her daughter handle the rest. Now, just keep an eye on Ashley.”
After hanging up, William looked at Bobby, who was driving, and asked, “Where is Valeria now?”
“At the Hot Spring Hotel with Miss Clark.”
“She really knows how to enjoy herself.” William shook his head. “Let’s go meet Ronald. He’s been out enjoying himself for so long. It’s time to give him something to do.”
Bobby brought the car onto the highway around the city as William called Marcus again. “Have you arranged everything for Ronald?”
“Well, the police reports have reached unity. Ronald is innocent and everything has been pushed to Julie and Paxton. The news has already been put out there, so I guess many people would be looking for Ronald, and Savannah and Charles are one of the many.”
William sneered. “Even if they don’t go looking for him, he will look for them. This is within our expectations. Once this is settled, the next step will be to deal with Savannah! Let’s talk about this after I meet with Ronald.”
Savannah hadn’t achieved anything by meeting with Valeria today. First, she was humiliated by Valeria, then she was scolded by Hayden, and he had left furiously after that.
Because of this, Savannah had been sulking for a while now, and when she thought of the predicament that she would soon face, she felt very agitated and annoyed.
Soon, she left the Glory Club and went back to Charles’s villa, and on the way back, she thought of ways to shirk her responsibilities. When she returned to the villa, she realized that Charles had just returned, too. Then, the two of them went to the study room and closed the door. Charles asked, “Have you seen the news? Ronald has been acquitted.”
“Acquitted? Looks like that stupid Ronald has some tricks up his sleeve.” She was filled with hatred.
“Yes, I was also wondering how he was freed without any charges. I thought he was dead meat before, but now the blame has been pushed entirely to Julie and the deceased Paxton. I think someone is protecting Ronald. I don’t know how Valeria will feel when she hears this.”
“She must be furious. She would never forget the people who are involved in her mother’s murder. Although Ronald didn’t do it himself, Natalie’s death must definitely be related to him. She won’t let him live freely. Also, I think that Archer won’t let Ronald off the hook easily either.”
Savannah sneered and continued, “Ronald has many enemies now. Which means we can use him.”
Charles agreed with her suggestion as well. “That’s what I’m thinking too. We’ll find Ronald before Archer does and take him under our control. And when that time comes, we’ll be able to use him to cause some trouble.”
Meanwhile, one hour later, William’s car stopped, and Bobby led the way through a small yard. Inside, Ronald was watching TV in the living room. Upon hearing voices, he walked out and saw William, so he put on a pleasant expression and said, “William, you’re here!”
William nodded at his greeting and entered the living room. Ronald, who was about to pour a cup of tea for him with a flattering smile, was stopped by William, who said, “Sit down. I have something to talk to you about.”
“Go ahead, William.” He sat down and looked at William respectfully.
