William was surprised to hear that. “So, is my father suspicious of Savannah? If that’s the case, I don’t think I have to worry about it anymore.”
“That’s right. You don’t have to worry much about it.” Marcus also felt that this was a good sign.
William pondered for a moment. “It is a rare piece of good news. You’d better send someone to follow him to prevent anyone from causing trouble, and we need to make sure that the results are real as well.”
“Okay, I’ll ask someone to keep an eye on him,” Marcus agreed.
William hung up the phone and squinted his eyes with a smile. “Hayden is beginning to suspect Savannah now, and I know he wouldn’t be easily fooled by others.”
Valeria was glad to hear the news. “That’s great! When I went to see my mother this morning, I asked my father to discuss with my grandpa on how to persuade your father. Now it seems like your father has understood the situation, so we don’t need to worry about it anymore.”
“That’s right. He must believe the results in front of him no matter what, and I guess Savannah’s hour has struck.”
William went to the company after he finished his lunch, and he was in a good mood. Then, Marcus reported the information about Lucas when William was signing the document.
“The results are out. I sent some people to keep an eye on it and they didn’t make any slightest mistake. Lucas has taken the results and left in a hurry.”
“How did things go so smoothly?” William asked.
“Isn’t that good?” Marcus was unable to understand what William meant.
“Of course, that’s good if everything goes smoothly. However, the road to happiness is strewn with setbacks. It’s weird that our plan is going so smoothly, but I may just be overthinking. By the way, has your spy been exposed?”
“I don’t think so.” Marcus was unsure about it. “I’ll ask him about it later.”
“We can’t change the result if something really happened. Let’s assume that we are successful and wait for my father to take action. He will definitely come to me if he believes the result, otherwise, you will know that we’ve failed.”
“The results will reveal the truth, so I can’t seem to understand why he wouldn’t believe it.”
“Would you believe if it were you? Hayden might not choose to believe that Savannah would harm him since she is his daughter. My father is getting old, and he is becoming soft-hearted at this age. He hopes that his children will be harmonious, and his family will be happy.”
William sighed, “We can’t expect anything until the last moment. Perhaps my father will suspect that I’m the one who used a dirty trick to counter Savannah.”
“Uh…” Marcus was speechless for a moment as William’s analysis was likely to be true. Now, it was up to Hayden to think about it.
Meanwhile, Hardy sneered while he listened to his subordinate’s report in Acma Corporation. “We assigned people to keep an eye on Lucas, but we found out that there were people following him too. They did not find out about us, and we have also made a small accident according to your request.”
“What kind of accident?” Hardy asked.
“I asked a child to hold a cup of milk tea and bump into him purposedly. Lucas witnessed this scene, and this was the picture that I had taken.”
“Well done!” Hardy looked at it with a smile. “I would like to arrange one more task for you. Please get someone to take a few photos of this man entering and leaving Wolf Group. I want some photos of Marcus or William’s bodyguards as well.”
“Okay, I’ll arrange it now.”
Lucas reached the Howard family and went straight to the study room with the test results in hand. Hayden was reading a newspaper and his expression changed when he saw Lucas, “Are the results out?”
“Yes!” Lucas took out the report and placed it in front of Hayden. However, Hayden did not look at the report. “Does this mean that she really wants to kill me?”
Lucas felt uncomfortable after seeing Hayden’s sad expression. He sighed and said, “The results showed that there is an indication of poison.”
“I guess I would be poisoned if William didn’t stop me.” Hayden stood up and walked around in the study room. “What would she gain from poisoning me? I’ve finalized the will, and it won’t benefit her at all if she kills me.
“Maybe she doesn’t know about the will. She wants to take a risk…”
“Phang!” Hayden threw the cup that was placed on the table and looked at Lucas furiously. “I’m her father and she chose to risk my life. Is she still a human being? Would you do that to your father?”
“No, I won’t!” Lucas answered honestly as he knew that he would not do such a thing. However, Savannah was different as she had done plenty of evil things.
Hayden said angrily. “That’s why I don’t believe the results and I think that there’s something fishy about it.”
“Sir, who will play these tricks on you? Are you suspicious of William’s intentions? He is the most filial to you!”
“Stop it! I have my reasons. I would definitely trust him if he wasn’t bewitched by Saunders’ family as he has lost his true self because of them. I’m sure Valeria has bewitched him and she’s planning to pit us against each other to avenge Natalie.”
Lucas did not dare to persuade Hayden after seeing his angry expression.
Paisley called Raelyn in the afternoon. “Madam, my brother says that you can rest assured now as the matter has been settled.”
“That’s great! Paisley, please help me to thank Hardy.” Raelyn was on tenterhooks all day and she could finally relax.
“You are welcome. By the way, my brother has a reminder for you. Since William has already targeted Savannah, she can’t stay here any longer. Madam Saunders, you have to think of a solution to prevent yourself from getting into trouble.”
“I’m also worried about it, but it is not easy to take action since it will be easy to get caught. Paisley, do you have any good ideas?” Raelyn swallowed her pride. Then, she sought an opinion from Paisley as she had a feeling that the latter would have a solution.
“I do have a way, but…” Paisley wanted to say something but stopped for a moment.
“Don’t worry, Paisley. Just get to the point because I can’t think of a good solution, and I’m rather anxious now.”
“Madam Saunders, I heard that Valeria’s holding a party the day after tomorrow?”
“Yes, my brother has organized an extravagant party and he invited plenty of celebrities. By the way, I also heard that Natalie would attend the party.”
“What gift are you going to give Valeria?” Paisley asked again, “As an aunt, you should have prepared a big gift, right?”
“Yes, I have prepared a diamond necklace…” Raelyn said and stopped suddenly. She felt that there was a hidden meaning from Paisley’s words. “Paisley, what do you mean by that?”
