Marcus then turned around and realized Silas had opened the package that contained the blanket brought by the lawyer. Silas took it out and slowly inspected the edges with his hand.
Marcus observed as Silas fumbled around on the blanket for a while and Silas suddenly paused his movements at an area of it.
He had a strange expression on his face in which Marcus instantly asked, “Is there anything off?”
“This area seems different from others as if there is something round in it,” Silas replied.
“What?” Marcus paused for a moment while Silas took out a pocket knife and began to cut along the lines of the blanket. The blanket was soon meticulously cut open and there was a white pill hidden in it.
Marcus was utterly shocked, “There is really something in it. What pill is this?”
“It’s definitely not a supplement,” Silas jokingly replied with a grin on his face.
“Wow, Mr. Howard is an accurate predictor, isn’t he?” Marcus was very impressed with William and immediately gave him a call, “Mr. Howard, we found a pill in the blanket.”
“Really?” William was also shocked as his sixth sense merely told him something was fishy. However, he was confident that the pill was poisonous.
He sneered and said, “Send the pill for testing right away to see what exactly is in it. In addition, buy an identical blanket to replace it as soon as possible and put a sleeping pill in it.”
Marcus agreed and said, “Alright, I’ll have it done right away!”
After ending the call, William scoffed and said, “I thought that Devon and Raelyn would show some mercy towards Declan and it looks like that is not the case.”
“Sir William, why would they want to get rid of him this time?” Bobby could not wrap his head around it.
“I have no idea as well,” William shook his head.
“How are they so confident that Declan will take the pill?” Bobby asked again.
“Of course he would consume it. Didn’t you realize what game the couple was playing by deliberately mentioning Talitha? They are hinting to Declan that the truth is about to explode soon and he must be the bigger person to bear it all.”
Bobby nodded, “Declan was already on the death row but they are desperate to get rid of him once and for all. It looks like he has secrets with him.”
“Yes, he must have something deadly!” William replied with certainty.
What on earth is the secret that Declan has? William frowned and was lost in his thoughts. Before he could come up with a conclusion, a scream suddenly emerged outside of his room.
“That sounded like Valeria!” Bobby swiftly opened the door and rushed out followed by William. Valeria was sitting on the sofa with a look of horror on her face. She patted her chest for reassurance and shouted with fear as she saw William, “Honey!”
“What’s wrong?” William immediately stood by her side and asked.
“I had a dream and I woke up from it because I was terrified!”
“Have you had a nightmare?” William held Valeria in his arms and comforted her, “It’s alright, your hubby is here with you! You don’t have to be afraid!”
Valeria threw herself into his arms and her heart was racing. William patted her gently and comforted her for a while, and she finally managed to calm down.
“What kind of nightmare was it?” William asked.
“It’s the same dream again. I dreamed that your car fell into the river.”
“Don’t worry, it won’t happen again.” William reassured her and continued, “It will never happen again. I’ll always be here to protect you and our children!”
She held him tightly and did not want to let him go. He knew that she was greatly traumatized, hence he decided to accompany her for a while and told Bobby to arrange for someone to prepare some herbal soup for Valeria.
She drank the soup and eventually fell asleep in William’s arms. However, he did not leave but held her instead and lied down together.
He felt neither tired nor sleepy as his brain was still busy processing information.
He thought of all the things that had happened recently and the ruthless people like Hardy and Natasya. He decided to seek his revenge as he did not want Valeria to live in fear and wanted to have a peaceful life with her.
He needed to get rid of these potential threats as soon as possible. He had also decided to plan things against Devon’s family as well as the mysterious man who provided the drug to Declan and was ordering Raelyn around.
He had already made plans to counterattack Hardy, Natasya, Devon, and others. He was confident that the plan would work and the threat would soon be eliminated.
However, William was worried about the mysterious man who he had never seen before. Who on earth was he?
Why did the man got rid of his mother?
Gonzalec told William that the man held a grudge against his mother and Braelynn also had something to do with the mysterious man.
Is Gonzalec telling the truth? William thought to himself.
He needed to find out the identity of the mysterious man. He was at a disadvantageous point when the man was doing things behind his back while he had no idea at all.
Besides, who is the mole within the Floyd family? Why is the mole persuading Hardy and the others to join forces with him? What on earth is his purpose? William was lost in his thoughts.
He could not wrap his head around as his massive thoughts had blurred his ability to think sharply for the time being.
He needed to find the key as blindly making assumptions is not the way to go. The mole from the Floyd family must be within them and he could start things from there.
There was no way for him to personally investigate the Floyd Family as they were living abroad. Jaxon had also not reported any updates which had made him feel anxious.
It might also be a crucial key if the claim of the mysterious man hating his mother was true. William had to find a way to inquire about his mother from the Floyd Family.
He suddenly thought of Meadow, his maternal grandmother. She should be the one who knew his mother the best and might be able to obtain some information from her.
William then gently got out of bed to pick up his phone and went to the living room.
He sat in the living room and dialed Meadow’s phone number and it rang for a while before it got through. Meadow’s voice emerged, “Who is on the line?”
“Grandma, it’s me, William!”
“William?” Meadow was initially surprised but snapped, “William, my naughty grandson. You finally have the time to give your grandma a call, huh?”
“Grandma, I’m sorry! I’ve always wanted to call you but have not got the chance due to the time difference. It was always midnight at your place when I wanted to give you a dial and did not want to disturb you. Hence, the call was delayed until now.”
“Haha, do you think that your grandma is turning old and dull? You are good in butter up others and you have no intention to call me at all. Do you that think I ought to not know?”
“No grandma, that’s not true. Please don’t be angry at me!”
“How can I not be? I have always been thinking about you and worried about your safety. You bastard, you turned your back against me and even sent me off to a foreign country all alone.”
Meadow cussed at him while he kept apologizing to her humbly. She finally calmed down, “Alright then, why did you call me? I’m not convinced that you are merely missing about me. There must be something else, right?”
