Marcus was very surprised to hear that. He had always thought that Evelyn was the one who had plotted against Valeria, but he did not expect there to be so many underlying schemes behind it.
Angel and Paisley didn’t give up and they were still making trouble. Did they have a death wish?
Marcus sneered. “Stay in touch with Angel. Since she asked you to tell Evelyn about Paisley’s schemes, you should act according to her request.”
“Mr. Field, I’m not familiar with Evelyn at all. I don’t know if she will listen to me when I tell her about this.”
“I will make arrangements for you, so don’t worry.”
Pierre agreed and asked about Hardy tentatively, “Mr. Field, will Hardy’s sentence be reduced and he’ll be released in advance?”
“Don’t worry. Hardy will stay in jail until his time is served as long as Mr. Howard is here.”
Pierre was relieved when he heard Marcus’s words. Then, he didn’t say anything more and bid Marcus goodbye.
Marcus got up and went out of his office to knock on William’s office. When he entered, he found that Richard was also there. He was sitting cross-legged in William’s office while he held a cup of tea as if he was enjoying himself.
Marcus looked around and he did not see William at all.
He smiled and asked Richard, “When did you arrive?”
“I’ve been here for a while!”
Richard squinted and said when he saw that Marcus was looking for William, Richard, “Do you have something to report to me? You can just tell me now.”
“Mr. Clark, why are you so free today?” Marcus asked with a smile.
“What? I am working on behalf of your boss and I am the president of Wolf Group now. Just tell me if you need anything and I’ll help you.”
“Can I apply for a raise?” Marcus asked.
“Okay, how much do you want? We don’t need to talk so much since we’re friends. Give me the agreement and I’ll sign it right away. Let’s settle it since your boss is not here. If William has any inside information in the future, you’d better sell it to me!”
“Is this a deal? I don’t dare to do that. Mr. Howard will beat me up if he knows that I’m a traitor. I still want to live a few more years.” Marcus waved his hand.
“You’re such a coward! Why are you afraid of William? You’re such a capable assistant and there are so many big companies that are dying to hire you.”
“Mr. Clark, please don’t make fun of me. I wouldn’t have been here today without Mr. Howard and I’ll be nothing without him. I know my limits.”
“It’s really a headache for me to look at you like this. What benefits did William give you that you’re so loyal? Are you afraid that I’m trying to trick you to confirm your loyalty? Don’t worry, I’m not a spy sent by William and we’re on the same team.”
The door of the lounge opened as he spoke and William entered with his phone. Just then, he frowned as soon as he saw Richard sitting in his seat with a teacup in his hand. “Who told you to sit here? Get lost!”
“It’s just your chair, why are you so heartless? I’m leaving now, I can’t stand it when other people talk to me like this!” Richard said while he covered his face and stood up to put down the cup. Then, he walked out with an aggrieved look.
Marcus couldn’t help laughing. “Mr. Clark, are you really leaving?”
“What’s the point of staying here? Your boss has already said this to me, so how can I still bring myself to stay? Anyway, I’ve been completely humiliated by William today. If anything goes wrong when I get back, I’ll have to blame William for it.”
William ignored Richard and sat down in his seat. He was disgusted when he saw the mess left behind by Richard and ordered Marcus, “Get someone to clean it up.”
Richard walked to the door and heard William’s words. Then, he turned his head and asked, “Do you hate me that much? Do you even have a heart?”
William ignored him. When Marcus took the initiative to clean up the table, Richard snorted and said resentfully, “Take what I said to heart and don’t spoil her too much. She is a troublesome person.”
Richard left after William ignored him. Then, Marcus smiled and said, “Why did Mr. Clark come to meet you today?”
“It’s about Anna. He knew that she was sent to the police station after she dealt with Michael, so he came to ask me about the details.”
After that, William asked Marcus, “Why were you looking for me?”
Marcus nodded and told William what Pierre had said. William sneered and said, “Both of them have a death wish. In that case, I’ll help them.”
“Mr. Howard, what are you going to do?”
“Ask someone to bring Gurmisran here. I have to tell him in person that he’s going to be a father.”
“What?! Is that appropriate? Wouldn’t all of our previous efforts be wasted?” Marcus hesitated.
“No, I’ve already made arrangements to trap him. Hurry up and ask some men to bring Gurmisran here.”
Gurmisran had been having a hard time recently because he got caught using public funds.
Ornard was urging him to sell his company and get enough capital to get through this. Gurmisran didn’t dare to be careless and he hurriedly tried to raise enough funds.
In fact, Gurmisran had earned a lot while he worked under Ornard over the years.
Ornard gave him a lot of shares in the company and Gurmisran even bought a tower block with the money.
It happened that the price of real estate was soaring, so Gurmisran made a lot of money. However, he was incredibly greedy and he kept thinking that the price would increase exponentially. Therefore, he kept all the buildings he bought in his hands and waited for the price to rise. Then, he encountered a strange thing.
He couldn’t touch the company shares because he would be discovered by Ornard. Hence, he had to sell the buildings and the mansions in his hands to make up for the losses.
However, no one had ever paid any attention to the real estate he had purchased for some reason. He dropped the price of his estates up to 20 per cent below the market price, but no one was interested in it at all.
In the end, Gurmisran had no choice but to use the house as a mortgage to borrow a loan.
The loan department said that the market price of estates was low and they were afraid that the market was crash. When Gurmisran mortgaged it, the price was pitifully low.
Gurmisran wanted to return the loan after he had money. Since the building belonged to him, he didn’t pay much attention to it either.
He didn’t expect that Ornard’s company would have so many troubles. He wasn’t given a salary because the company needed money, but he was given another 10 per cent of shares.
The stocks would only be valuable if the company was doing well. What was the use of having them when the company was close to being bankrupt?
Gurmisran found that his days were just getting harder after several months of suffering like this.
The loan interests were increasing each month without any sign of decreasing. Since he couldn’t afford to pay off the loans, all of his other properties were taken in as a pledge.
Gurmisran’s hard-earned properties belonged to the loan agency now and he was incredibly depressed. He was so anxious these days that he couldn’t even breathe properly.
Gurmisran hadn’t gone out for a few days because he was in a bad mood. As he locked himself at home, he passed his days by sleeping and ordering takeout.
Gurmisran had just woken up from his afternoon nap when the doorbell rang. However, a few strong men broke in when he took off his shoes and opened the door.
