Andrew was busy during the day, so he visited his two cousins at night instead. Right now, he was talking to William while he had Santhos in his arms. When the manager called him, he put Santhos down and went outside to pick up the call.
When he heard the manager mumbling, he frowned and said, “You won’t get into trouble no matter what happens, so why are you making a fuss here?”
After that, the manager immediately told Andrew about how Raymond had harassed Anna. However, Andrew laughed out loud and said, “Are you telling me that Raymond harrassed a woman in broad daylight? What’s wrong with you?”
The manager was stunned when he heard Andrew’s laugh, but he quickly explained himself by saying, “Mr. Howard… I watched the surveillance video. At first, both of them were only talking, but I don’t know what they were saying. However, Mr. Saunders was the one who had touched the other party first.”
“Well, that doesn’t mean that he wanted to harrass her. Something else must have happened.” Andrew and Raymond had known each other for many years. Raymond was someone with a good temper, so how could he do something like this? There had to be some misunderstanding here.
Then, Andrew thought of Raymond’s devilish face and added, “Maybe the other party was attracted by his handsome looks and approached him, but he rejected them insted. After that, she was so angry that she decided to spread rumours to ruin Raymond’s reputation instead.”
“This…” The manager felt that Andrew’s words made sense, but he also felt that Anna was not that kind of person. “The lady who had a dispute with Mr. Saunders is one of Mr. Clark’s relatives, so I didn’t dare to hand over the surveillance video. However, he said he would come back. What should we do now, Mr. Howard?”
However, Andrew sneered and replied. “Ignore him! Since you’ve already told him that the surveillance video was broken, let’s just forget about it.”
After that, Andrew thought of something. “Did you just say that the woman who was trying to slander Raymond was Richard’s relative? What’s her name?”
“Her name is Anna Taylor, and she is Mr. Clark’s younger sister.”
“Anna?” Andrew was stunned for a moment after hearing this. Well, if Anna was really involved in this, she didn’t seem like someone who would slander Raymond indeed.
Thus, he frowned and said, “Alright, I get it. I’ll ask Raymond first.”
Then, Andrew hung up the phone and frowned a little while thinking. After that, he decided to say something to William instead. After all, he and William were not close, but the latter and Richard were best friends. Everything would be fine if nothing happened between Raymond and Anna, but it would be better if they sent William to discuss this issue if something had really happened between them.
After that, Andrew decided to mention this to William casually. After hearing Andrew’s words, William raised his lips and said with an unfathomable smile, “Wow! I can’t believe something like this happened! I guess we can wait and watch the drama unfold later.”
Andrew saw that William wasn’t worried at all. Instead, he was confused when he saw the latter laughing, so he asked, “Uncle William, what do you think about this issue?”
“It’s interesting. Don’t worry about it, and don’t tell Raymond about it either. You can just let it be.”
“Wait, so we can just let Raymond and Anna do whatever they want? But Richard has already found out about this, and he has arranged for someone to investigate it. You can’t fool him like this, can you?”
“Don’t worry. Richard knows that you are the secret owner of the restaurant. If he thinks about it carefully, he will know that you can’t cover for Raymond, nor can you help Anna instead. Well, Anna is someone who isn’t weak either. How could she say that Raymond has harrassed her? He would be so troubled by this in the future!”
“I still don’t understand,” Andrew replied as he felt that he couldn’t get what William was trying to tell him.
After that, William lowered his voice and said, “I arranged a blind date for Raymond today. The person who is going on a blind date with him is one of the managers of my company, and her name is Anna Taylor.”
Andrew had met Anna, who was working in William’s company! Then, he exclaimed, “What? How did Raymond agree to go on a blind date?”
“He has no choice but to do so. My mother-in-law and I worked together to praise Anna profusely,” William said while smiling evilly.
“Uncle William, you’re too… You’re going to expose yourself by setting up this blind date! Aren’t you afraid that Raymond will complain about this to your wife?”
“Hah! Why should I be afraid? However, Anna is so gorgeous, but don’t you think she appeared at such a right time?”
“What? Are you trying to use them to get this situation in your favour?”
“Shh! Keep your voice down! I was going to introduce Anna to Raymond anyway. After all, the Taylor family is a wealthy and powerful family. They are almost as powerful as the Saunders family, aren’t they?”
When Andrew heard this, he was stunned at how shameless William could be, “Wow… Uncle William. You really can adapt to the situation well so that your enemies will be caught off guard, huh?”
“Well, that doesn’t mean that I can adapt to the situation well. After all, everything is working in my favour!”
On the other hand, when Richard’s men returned, they reported to Richard that there was a problem with the restaurant’s surveillance cameras. After hearing this, Richard frowned and looked unhappy. After all, how could the restaurant’s surveillance cameras happen to have broken down at such a time? The people in the restaurant must have been trying to cover up the man’s tracks! So, they were trying to get in his way!”
At this thought, he called his assistant and said, “Someone bullied Anna in the Menate Restaurant today. I asked the bodyguards to check the information of the person who bullied her. However, the people in the restaurant said that the security cameras there had broken down. Obviously, they were covering up for the people who bullied her, and they didn’t take me seriously at all. We can’t drop this issue like this. I need you to make some arrangements to teach a lesson to the people in the restaurant.”
However, the assistant gasped and said, “Mr. Clark, the person who’s running the restaurant from behind the scenes is Mr. Howard! I’m sure that he can’t go against you on purpose, right?”
“Oh, yes, I forgot about this.” Richard suddenly remembered this when the assistant has reminded him about it.
“Well, if that is indeed Andrew’s restaurant, he would definitely reply after hearing that I sent someone to investigate this issue, right?”
“That’s right. Even if the restaurant manager didn’t know about this before, he wouldn’t have dared to hide it from Mr. Howard. Now that you’ve already sent someone to investigate it, I’m sure that Mr. Howard will give you an explanation.”
Richard also agreed with the assistant’s analysis. He pondered for a moment and said, “If Andrew doesn’t call me tomorrow, it means that Anna was lying just now! Let’s just wait till then!”
Meanwhile, Francis sat in the study of the hotel’s presidential suite and looked at the documents on the computer in front of him with a serious expression.
Suddenly, there was a light knock on the door of the study, and the butler’s voice came from outside. “Mr. Gurney, can I come in?”
“Come in!” Francis closed the document and answered loudly.
After that, butler pushed open the door and walked in. He stopped and stood at a distance away from Francis while saying, “Mr. Gurney, I want to talk to you about what happened with Azalea and Michael.”
“Really? What did you find out?” Francis closed the computer and became interested immediately.”
“I asked a servant whom Meadow trusted about them. After giving her a sum of money, she told me that she heard from Mrs. Davis that Azalea was the eldest daughter of the Floyd family.”
“What? The oldest daughter of the Floyd family?” Francis looked shocked when he heard this news. “Does Azalea has something to do with the Floyd family? How is this possible?” After that, he continued asking, “Has this news been verified?”
