Michael asked his assistant, “Has the company transfer of the Gurney family been completed yet?”
“No, the eldest son of the Gurney family, Casper, is the one in charge of the handover. It was obvious that he’s deliberately making things difficult for us and he’s been finding excuses.”
“Is that so?” Michael smiled. “Make an appointment with Casper for me. I’m going to have dinner with him tonight to discuss the company’s ownership transfer.”
The assistant immediately called Casper, but the latter was incredibly arrogant. “I’m very busy because I have meet-ups with so many people recently. I have to see if I’m free for dinner tonight.”
The assistant’s tone was sincere. “Mr. Davis urgently needs to meet you, so I hope that you’ll save some of his pride.”
Casper could feel the assistant’s emphasis and promised to meet in the evening.
The assistant hung up the phone and cursed while Michael smiled and said, “Did he agree?”
“Yes, but I’m sure that he will make things difficult for us tonight. We have to think of a way to deal with him.”
“Don’t worry, just let him be!” Michael patted his assistant’s shoulder with a smile. “Take this box of wine when we meet him for dinner in the evening. I have to get back at him.”
The assistant was shocked. “Are you giving this to Casper?”
“Isn’t it obvious? Can’t I do that?” Michael asked.
Of course, his plan was too amazing! If Francis knew that his beloved grandson had drunk the wine that he had used to scheme against Michael, he would definitely be livid with anger.
After all, there was only one heir in the Gurney family. Casper had just been married for a year and he had no children yet. If he became infertile after drinking the wine. the Gurney family would have no descendants in the future.
It had to be said that Michael was incerdibly smart in his schemes.
Leonard thought that Evelyn would be furious and tell Francis everything after she got rejected. He even expected that Francis and William would fight against each other.
However, Leonard was extremely disappointed because nothing happened even after a long period of time.
Why didn’t any of his plans go smoothly since he came back from abroad?
He was frustrated, but the Floyd family was still in full swing. They had taken over Ornard’s company and grew their assets exponentially.
Leonard was furious when he saw that the Floyd family’s business was still going smoothly.
His goal had always been to annex the Floyd family, so he couldn’t let the Floyd family continue to flourish like this. He had to find a way to stop their business development.
The only way to do this was to target the management staff. Leonard made an analysis of the Floyd family and realized that he couldn’t do anything to Fandrey and Callum because they had a group of bodyguards wherever they went.
Leonard then fixed his target on Thomas, who was the CEO of the Floyd family’s main company. Hence, Thomas was indispensable in ensuring the development of their company in the country.
Getting rid of Thomas was tantamount to cutting off one of the main sources of influence for the Floyd family. Besides, it was very difficult for the Floyd family to find someone as talented and loyal as Thomas.
Leonard would be able to take advantage of the situation by then, so he wanted to immediately discuss how to deal with Thomas with his assistant.
Leonard and his assistant soon came up with a vicious plan.
The company had been busy, so Thomas had been getting off work very late recently.
Today was no exception and he left the company at 11 o’clock.
Thomas drove back to his apartment after saying goodbye to his assistant and secretary in the parking lot.
There were very few people on the street at this time and Thomas was listening to relaxing music while driving. However, his car tyres suddenly exploded with a loud bang.
He had only sent his car to be repaired a few days ago, so why would his tyres explode?
Thomas stopped the car and checked the tire. At this time, a few men jumped out of the car behind him and went straight to him with machetes.
When Thomas saw how murderous the group of men looked, he immediately knew that he was in trouble.
Of course, he would not sit still and wait. He immediately ran away while the group of men chased after him closely.
The man eventually caught up with Thomas and slashed his machete. Just as Thomas turned his head to avoid it, a second strike landed directly from the back.
He was bleeding profusely after being stabbed in the shoulder. Was he going to die on the street tonight?
At this moment, a black car came over and Thomas shouted, “Help!”
Gavin went to the Howard family to visit Cade and Santhos. After he played with them for the whole day, he had a drink with Hayden in the evening while the two of them played chess in the study.
No one admitted defeat until it was 11 o’clock at night. Later, Valeria came to remind them that it was late and she wanted to arrange a room for Gavin. Only then did he suddenly realize that he had stayed at their house for more than ten hours.
He naturally wouldn’t stay at the Howard family home, so he immediately left with his bodyguards and Arthur.
While they were halfway home, a man suddenly appeared and called for help. The bodyguard who was driving the car stepped on the brakes in shock while Gavin was stunned as well in the back seat. “What happened?”
“Someone is fighting here. No… isn’t Thomas the one being chased? He’s injured…” Arthur, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was shocked when he saw Thomas and immediately reported it to Gavin.
Gavin immediately ordered, “Hurry up and stop them!”
The bodyguards of the Saunders family stopped and quickly got out of the car. When the people chasing Thomas saw the group of bodyguards running towards them, they had no choice but to retreat.
Gavin immediately sent Thomas to the hospital to bandage his wounds. The injuries on Thomas’s shoulder were very deep, and even his bones were visible. While the doctor was treating his wounds, all of his belongings were handed over to Arthur, the butler of the Saunders family.
Gavin called William hurriedly to tell him that Thomas was injured.
William was shocked when he heard how Thomas had been attacked. He realized how serious this matter was, so he immediately informed Callum and said that he would rush to the hospital to see Thomas right away.
After Gavin hung up the phone, Arthur came over with a jade pendant in his hand. “Sir, take a look at this.”
Gavin was stunned when he looked over. “Isn’t this… Isn’t this the lost jade pendant of my family? Why do you have it?”
“This belongs to Thomas. and the doctor handed it to me while his wounds were being treated. I thought I was mistaken when I saw this jade pendant. Sir, can you confirm that it is really the pendant that you lost?”
Gavin looked at the jade pendant carefully and confirmed that it belonged to the Saunders family when he saw his wife’s name on the back, but how could it be with Thomas?
Gavin held it in his hand and muttered to himself. Arthur was also lost in thought when Gavin confirmed that it belonged to their family. After a while, he suddenly said, “Sir, what if this jade pendant wasn’t lost, but…”
“But what?” Mr. Saunders asked.
“Could it be that Madam put the jade pendant on Miss’ body? It’s possible that the jade pendant wasn’t taken off after Miss was exchanged, so maybe she had it all along. If so, could Miss still be alive?”
Gavin also thought of this possibility. “Is that possible?”
Arthur immediately said, “Thomas’ eyes resemble Madam, so I think that it’s really possible! Do you want to check Thomas’ background and investigate this matter?”
As soon as Arthur finished speaking, two people rushed over from the other end of the corridor, which turned out to be Callum and Emily.
Callum stopped to greet Gavin, but Emily immediately rushed into the operating room. “Thomas! What happened to you!?”
