Devon did not know that the investigation team had known the truth and was still waiting for the updates at the hotel with Raelyn.
The door was suddenly pushed open as Natasya was panting while glancing at them.
“Natasya, why were you discharged from the hospital?” Raelyn asked in surprise while looking at Natasya.
“How could I not budge when such a big news had broken out?” Natasya shut the door and sat down beside Devon. “Dad, what’s going on? Why are there rumors that are claiming William as the murderer of my uncle? How is that even possible?”
Devon remained silent, which had made Natasya increasingly anxious, “Dad, please say something!”
“Your dad could not wrap his head around it as well. What more can he tell you when he has no idea about it?” Raelyn chipped in.
“Why are you still here then? You should head out and get ahold of the situation. What should we do if William is accused of being a murderer?”
Natasya’s inquiry was a wake-up call to Devon and Raelyn as they had set their eyes on Wolf Group since the beginning. Their plan would come to a halt if William would be met with trouble.
Did they need to rescue William out of this mess? However, it would not be an easy task as this matter had gained massive public attention.
Devon sighed and said, “We have never expected things to turn out this way. It would be difficult to prove his innocence when the news is gaining popularity.”
“Dad, you could seek justice for William as you are the only relative of my uncle, right?”
“Well…” Devon hesitated and was struggling to come up with a conclusion. Would things be better if he were to be William’s hero?
Devon didn’t want to sacrifice himself merely for the sake of William. As he was still lost in his thoughts, the door was suddenly pushed open. Talitha came in a hurry and said, “Wow, everyone is here.”
“Why are you here?” Natasya asked with displeasure upon seeing Talitha.
“Why can’t I be here?” Talitha snorted and sat down beside Devon. “Dad, I just saw the news and William is the murderer of my uncle. This is ridiculous! You have to bring justice for him!”
“Have you gone mad? How could you even believe everything that is on the internet?” Natasya glared at Talitha.
“Why not? Wasn’t the news of you being a shitty beauty also came from the internet? Didn’t you actually sh*tted all over yourself?” Talitha snapped back with no mercy.
“Shut up!” Natasya was pissed off and patted her chest to catch a breather. Raelyn was worried about her and swiftly went over to calm her down while comforting her, “You can just ignore her as she is keen to spurt nonsense.”
Talitha was feeling arrogant as she had won the fight and continued to persuade Devon, “Dad, I have watched the news and think that it is now a great opportunity to get rid of William. We must act swiftly to send him into the police station for interrogation!”
“Do you think that you actually stand a chance?” Natasya furiously questioned.
“Of course not, but dad has the capability to do so! Dad, William is a cursed man as he was the one that sent uncle behind bars and caused our company to go under. We have been living in fear for all this while and it would not have happened if it wasn’t for him!”
Talitha took a deep breath and continued, “He showed no mercy on us and had crossed the line. He is now our enemy as he has killed my uncle! We will not let him off the hook and this is the perfect chance to seek our revenge! We have to take action immediately to avoid us from feeling regretful in the future!”
Talitha’s words were convincing and Devon knew that she was telling the truth. William would not let Devon’s family live at ease and this was indeed a great opportunity. They would be free from trouble if they were to succeed in getting rid of him.
Natasya sneered and interrupted, “Talitha, who is your master? Is it Hardy?”
“Of course not, as I have come up with it myself.” Talitha was not foolish to admit that Hardy was the one who had been teaching her.
Natasya scoffed and said, “Isn’t it Hardy who taught you how to persuade us, and do you possibly think that we’re fools? Hardy is the one who wants a piece of William and is trying to get our hands dirty, right? Hardy is clearly overestimating his intelligence.”
“It’s not Hardy as it is my own idea! Natasya, I know what is going on in your mind as you plan to marry William and set your eyes on Wolf Group, right? Take a look at yourself. Do you think that you are much more beautiful than Valeria? Do you have a family that is as influential as the Saunders to back you up?” Talitha retorted sarcastically.
“If you have none of these criteria, how on earth would William be interested in you? How could you have the confidence to get him under your control? Stop being delusional as William is no ordinary person! Get out of the way before you mess things up!”
“Guys, look at her! Pigs might fly if those were really her ideas! Hardy must be the one who taught her this! Mom and dad, you both are well aware of Hardy’s intention and William is the only one who can deal with him. Hardy could get rid of us within a minute should he turn his back against us without the presence of William!”
“Hardy is not that kind of man and I am pregnant with his child. We will get married soon and we will all be part of the Anthony Family including myself, my son, mom, and dad. Hardy would do no harm to us but that is not the case for William as he has nothing to do with Natasya. How could you be confident that Natasya would get him under control?”
Natasya and Talitha were arguing with each other while Raelyn and Devon remained silent.
Raelyn felt indifferent towards her two daughters but it was not the case for Devon. Natasya was his only daughter whereas Talitha was the daughter of Declan.
Hardy was obviously the one who taught Talitha some tricks as she was a simple-minded woman. He was clearly setting his eyes to get rid of William.
Devon was not a fool and believed that everything needed balance. He did not know whether he could succeed should he listened to Talitha’s advice and followed Hardy’s instructions.
However, the balance would be broken should William was indeed out of the picture. Hardy would then be the winner as he could do whatever he wanted to do and would be unstoppable.
Devon would then be in an awkward position should the plan to get rid of William had failed.
Besides, Natasya was his only biological daughter. How could he not protect and support her?
Devon had finally made up his mind and said, “All right, that’s enough. I have a plan!”
