Marcus agreed with a smile on his face, and William instructed Silas, “It looks like Devon still has his guard up because he’s arranging for someone to accompany Gonzalec to visit his grandfather. Get ahead of them and ask his grandfather about the blood vermin first, then we’ll wait for them.”
“Okay, I’ll arrange it right away!” Silas nodded and then asked him, “Mr. Howard, Devon definitely wants to use the blood vermin against you. The name itself sounds so nasty, so it should be something really bad. You have to be careful to not come into contact with it… Should I ask Gonzalec’s grandfather to give them a fake one?”
William shook his head and said, “No, it has to be real! It won’t be fun if it’s fake! All you need to do is ask him about the details of the blood vermin and it’ll be fine.”
Seeing Valeria’s worried face, he reached out to hold her hand, “Don’t worry, I was unaware of Natasya’s schemes back then, so she had the opportunity to take advantage of me. Now that I’m on guard, I don’t have to be afraid of her anymore, I can’t always hide from mean and shameless people because they’re everywhere!”
Valeria knew that what he said was fact. They have met many vicious people over the years, including Ashley, Julie, Elizabeth, Paisley, Talitha, and Natasya. Hiding was not the solution to their vicious schemes.
“Fine, the baby and I will accompany you then! I’d like to see what they have in mind!”
Then, they affectionately looked at each other with a gentle gaze in silence.
In the darkly lit room at the entrance of the alley, a few old prostitutes had messed with Hardy several times after he passed out from a drug.
After they recorded everything according to Silas’ orders, everyone left while one prostitute stayed behind.
Hardy was in deep sleep until the door was rudely kicked open and a strong light was shone in his eyes. Then, a righteous voice sounded in his ear, “Get up! It’s the police!”
Hardy forcefully opened his eyes as someone came up and pulled him off the bed. The flashing lights were painful in his eyes, and camera shutter sounds filled the room, he was bewildered at what was going on.
He thought it was a dream until someone poured a glass of water on his face, and he finally came to his senses.
“This… what…”
He didn’t believe the state he was currently in. The president of the Acma Corporation was naked in a room with an old woman with yellow teeth.
The cruel and strict policemen threw some clothes at him and said, “Put on your clothes and come with us!”
He was trembling with anger, but he couldn’t be seen by the onlookers like this, so he hurriedly put on his clothes. However, it took him a long time to put them on because he was mad.
The police handcuffed him without mercy, “You are suspected of being part of obscene prostitution. Come to the police station with us for investigation!”
He was forced into the police car with the old woman, and they went straight to the police station.
After being taken to the station, as usual, there was a round of inquiries. However, he refused to admit anything and insisted that he was framed and knew nothing.
Compared to Hardy, the old woman who was arrested together with him was much more open and told them the details of what had happened.
The old woman was taken out after she signed a document with her fingerprint, leaving Hardy who was unwilling to give up, behind.
Since he wasn’t speaking, the police stopped interrogating him and left him in the room by himself.
After thinking for a while in the room, he was sure that he had been framed, but he didn’t know who was behind it.
Was it William? Did he set him up with such a disgusting woman just to ruin his reputation?
If it was done by him, Hardy could already anticipate the overwhelming news about his scandal.
His father would definitely skin him alive with a scandal like this.
Thinking of his father’s fury and how he once again lost his reputation, his blood was boiling.
He really wanted to rush out of the police station and kill William, but there was no way out, so he could only wait.
The only thing he could do was wait for the scandal to be published, and Bevan would help him clarify it afterward.
He forced himself to calm down so that he could come up with a solution when Bevan came to save him.
He would tear William to pieces and get his revenge!
He cursed wildly while waiting for Bevan to save him, but Bevan, on the other hand, was also facing a crisis himself.
After being taken to the police station, Bevan and the bodyguards were also waiting for Hardy to arrange people to rescue them.
Both sides waited for each other to come to their rescue, so there was no progress until dawn.
Hardy was anxious about this unexpected situation, did something happen to Bevan too?
Bevan took Talitha away for the abortion procedure last night, did William plot against him as well?
If that was the case, then this was troublesome since no one would come to bail him out.
He began to panic and patted the door while shouting that he wanted to see a lawyer and his family.
The person in charge of his interrogation came and told him that he could see his family, but he had to explain everything that had happened last night. He could only see his family and lawyer after signing the document.
He didn’t know what to do even though he knew what signing the contract meant because he couldn’t admit that he had played around with a whore. He couldn’t afford to further damage his reputation.
Hardy refused to sign the document, so the interrogator closed the door and left again.
In the suite of Wolf Group’s hotel, William got up and accompanied Valeria for breakfast, then he picked up his phone and glanced at the news with a smile.
The news of what happened in the alley last night was shared with the public. A picture of the police arrest was included in the article, and it described the scandal that a certain president of a company was caught by the police for being involved in a prostitution business.
Hardy’s face was mosaiced, so no one could tell who he was. However, his car was also captured in the photograph. Even though his number plate was also mosaiced, his car brand could be seen clearly.
The news deliberately emphasized that the person who was arrested was a young, talented CEO of a listed company, a person who was handsome and had a good reputation.
The public began to guess the identity of the person who was arrested in the comments. Someone commented that they had seen Hardy drive a luxury car of this brand, was he the mystery person?
Someone refuted, saying that he was not the type of person to do such a thing in such a disgusting alleyway.
However, someone else retorted, “The rich are different. If Hardy’s not the type of person to do that, then how do you explain his car sex scandal that happened last time? Nothing is impossible.”
William smiled at the news and made a phone call, “Ask them to inform Paisley that Hardy was caught!”
