Several messages were sent from Marcus. “Mr. Howard, news about our bodyguards had caused David’s death has begun to brew. The impact is very bad. Mr. Clark, Michael and President Saunders have already known about it. They called me and asked me about the situation. I followed your orders and let them ignore it.”
“By the way, the fake news was spread quickly. There are Internet ghostwriters who working on several forums. I asked someone to locate their IP and found that they are from foreign country. I’ve already instructed the programmer to find out the detailed location of the IP addresses. We’ll get the info soon.”
“Mr. Howard, the programmer abroad has found the source of the IP addresses. It’s from the headquarters building of the Floyd family’s pharmaceutical factory.”
“Mr. Howard, could it be that Callum’s subordinates did this? What’s his motive?”
William read all of Marcus’s messages one by one. “It’s not him!” He said.
“If it wasn’t him, who would do this?”
“I don’t know. All I know is that my uncle isn’t that stupid.” After replied to the messages, he asked, “Is there any news from Gurmisran?”
“No, Gurmisran is very quiet.”
“Continue to keep an eye on Gurmisran. I don’t believe he will be able to sit still! He’ll surely expose his sly side soon.”
Originally, William was very suspected on Callum. However, he had changed his mind after such a fuss. Callum would not be so foolish. He wanted to see who was playing tricks on him.
The car stopped at the door of the Howard family’s old estate. Lucas hurried over to welcome him. “William, you’re finally back. Hayden is waiting for you in the room.”
“Alright. I’ll accompany Valeria back to her room first. I’ll meet him later.” William knew that Hayden was looking for him because of the matter of Callum calling the police.
He calmly took Valeria back upstairs. “Take a bath first, I’ll go see my dad, and I’ll be back soon.”
Although Valeria did not know why Hayden was looking for William, he felt that there was something wrong with Lucas’s expression just now. Had something happened?
She thought herself and nodded to William. “Go ahead. Be careful and don’t make dad angry.”
“I won’t. Your husband has such a high EQ. Will I do something that makes dad angry?” William left with a smile.
In the study room, Hayden was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back. William pushed the door open and entered. “Dad, you’re looking for me?”
“Yes.” Hayden stopped pacing. “I heard Andrew say that something happened to you? Something to do with Callum?”
“It’s not a big deal. It’s just a misunderstanding.” William sat down with a smile.
“Don’t lie to me. Andrew told me that Callum’s bodyguard, David had died, and Callum reported to the police that your subordinate had followed him before he died. What’s going on? Why did you follow Callum’s bodyguards?” Hayden asked sharply.
William knew that he couldn’t hide it any longer, so he told Hayden the truth. “I’ve sent people to follow David, because he might be the accomplice behind the murder of my mother!”
Hayden was shocked. “David killed your mother? How is that possible? David is Callum’s bodyguard and has no hatred with your mother. He has no reason to kill your mother.”
“Dad, this is a long story. It was Raelyn and Savannah who took part in the plan. Savannah was killed by Raelyn, and Raelyn died in a few days. However, one of the masterminds didn’t expose himself. And David is that mastermind.”
“Who… who is that mastermind?” Hayden asked.
“I don’t know. I just got some news from Declan. That’s the reason I observed David. I didn’t expect that he died not long after we observed him. There isn’t any clue now. Someone cut off the clues.”
“David is Callum’s bodyguard. Could the mastermind be Callum? Impossible! How could Callum do anything to your mother? He dotes on your mother so much, and he will never do anything to your mother!” Hayden firmly denied that Callum was the mastermind behind the murder.
William thought that Hayden would agree that Callum was the mastermind behind the scenes. After all, Hayden and the Floyd family were as enemies, so he was extremely surprised to see Hayden speak for Callum.
“Dad, something impossible will happen sometimes. We can’t judge things based on subjective influence.”
“So you’re sure that the mastermind is Callum? Do you have proof?” Hayden was obviously confused.
“Let me tell you, William, don’t talk nonsense without evidence. It’s no small matter!”
“I know it’s not a small matter. Dad, don’t be agitated! I didn’t say that he must have killed my mother. I’m in the progress of investigating, right?”
Hayden knew that he hadn’t been able to control his emotions properly just now. He sat down and took a sip of tea to calm himself.
“David is dead, did Callum suspect that you killed David?”
“Yes, he probably suspected that I’m the murderer, but he couldn’t find the reason why I do so. We met each other to discuss on it. After I stimulated him, he couldn’t suppress himself and call the police.”
“Is it bad for you if he called the police?”
“Not at all!” William shook his head. “My subordinates’ whereabouts are very clear. David was resting in the hotel when he found dead. Surveillance footages testified that he never left the hotel. He wouldn’t be able to frame the victim on my subordinates even if he wanted to do so.”
“That’s good! However, it doesn’t mean that Callum will believe you even you didn’t do so as you’re fine. Since he has already reported to the police, it proves that he has doubts on you. What do you want to do now?”
William smiled faintly. “Of course, I’m going to ruin his reputation! Let me think about how to cause troubles to him.”
Hayden was stunned, but he quickly reacted. “You want to create a trap?”
“Yes! Dad, would you do me a favor?” William looked at Hayden and smiled. “My acting is not as good at yours. I think it’s better if you cause trouble tp the Floyd family.”
“You brat, are you taking advantage of me?” Hayden asked angrily.
“Am I not allowed to make trouble for my wife? You know her well, she’s kind-hearted. Since she’s getting along well with my grandmother, she’ll definitely stop me from my plan. My wife is strict and I’m afraid of her. You’re different. Even if my wife is very bold, she wouldn’t dare to criticize you if you cause trouble, would she?” William convinced Hayden.
Hayden glared at him. “You brat! Have you already decided to make use of me?”
“No, I just thought about it on the spot. Dad, help me!”
“For the sake of my grandson, I’ll give up on my prestige.” Hayden agreed.
“Alright, I’ll leave this to you. By the way, don’t tell anyone else. We’re the only ones who know this!”
