The two hitmen immediately went forth to them and asked, "Is there anything we can do? Mr. Clark sent us here." The men who carried Raymond out were working under Marcus. Upon hearing the hitmen, they promptly handed Raymond over to the hitmen and said, "Bring Mr. Saunders to the hospital. Thank you." Then, not even blinking an eyelid at the six reporters who laid on the ground, Marcus's men went back into the Thai restaurant. After all, Valeria and Abbie were still inside the private room. They wouldn't want anything to happen to those two ladies. At this time, Marcus, Richard, and William arrived at the restaurant almost simultaneously. Abbie was still unconscious, but Valeria had already woken up, her cheeks rosy and her eyes unfocused. She threw herself at William when she saw him enter the room, and she slurred, "Honey! Don't you think it's hot in here? I don't like it..." Obviously, Valeria was being more flirty than usual. William gulped, and he pul
Marcus was shocked, "Im... Impossible!" "That's what I thought too. But there's no other logical reason to explain Savannah's behavior. Don't you think so?" William asked in response. "Think about it. You wouldn't put your only son's reputation at risk just to get back at your enemy, would you?" He had thought it through before proposing this idea to Marcus. Raymond was Archer and Savannah's only son, and he would be the sole rightful heir to the Saunders family's business. Unless Raymond wasn't her blood and flesh, otherwise Savannah wasn't that witless to hurt her own son. Convinced, Marcus asked worriedly, "What should we do now, Mr. Howard?" "A maternity test will do. Marcus, get your hands on Raymond's DNA sample as soon as possible." "Sure. But it isn't easy to get Ms. Howard's DNA sample. We might have to wait for a few days for the opportunity," Marcus replied. "We don't have the time to waste. Maybe we can do a kinship test instead of
William's words had Raymond completely baffled. He just couldn't understand why anyone would want to frame him and Valeria together. Irritatedly, Raymond asked, "Do you know who's the culprit?" "Whoever they are, they're very cautious to not leave any footprints behind. But don't worry, I will find them out. In fact, I already have some leads to follow. Now, let's talk about acting." Even though he was still shocked, Raymond quickly got into position, "Yes, please. I'm listening." "If anyone in the family, including your mom, ask about what happened tonight, tell them that you fainted because of a spiked drink at dinner. And that you're so lucky because Richard came in time to send you to the hospital." "That's all?" William continued, "Uh, also that you don't know who drugged you yet. As for other questions, just roll with it. Remember, Richard and his underlings saved you." "No problem! By the way, Uncle, do you have any idea who might do thi
The test results had proved William's doubt the day before was right. Although he had expected the result, William was still shocked when he heard it from Marcus. He couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure?" "Yes, Mr. Howard," Marcus affirmed. "What should we do next?" William sighed and murmured, "I don't know anymore... I need some time to think about it. Ah...D*mn it..." After a while, he realized something and said, "Since Savannah isn't Raymond's mother, we need to know if Archer is his father." Without giving Marcus a chance to speak, William continued, "We have to put Raymond and Archer through a kinship test. Or, just to be sure, we should just run a paternity test with Raymond and Archer's DNA samples." "Yes, sir, I'm on it. But there aren't many strings we can pull around Sir Archer. I might need more time," Marcus admitted. "It's fine. Take your time. There are more pressing problems than that now. Didn't Archer and Natalie break up bec
Savannah immediately called Charles after she hung up. "Charles, I was right. It's Richard! That b*stard is now alive and kicking." Charles heaved a sigh of relief, "We're lucky it's Richard. Anyways, how is Raymond doing now?" "He said he's alright. I offered to see him, but he refused. It's better this way. I'm already tired from acting for all these years," Savannah replied annoyedly. "Hold up, aren't you supposed to be a caring mother? You should at least pay him a visit to show your concern rather than just a call. Don't let them suspect you." "I wasn't thinking so much just now. I'll give him another call later," Savannah only then realized she indeed didn't sound like how a mother would react in that situation. "Go see him now. I just got the news that Archer is in B City." "What?" Savannah was shocked. "When was it?" "I don't know. But he went to see Dad, and the
Savannah wasn't expecting such bad news. It was true that Savannah didn't want Archer to love Raymond, but this wasn't what she had in mind. Besides Archer's talent, his wealth was also one of the reasons she married him. If Archer never gave Raymond a chance to work in the company, all her effort before now would go wasted. Savannah wasn't going to let this happen. "Dad, what should I do now?" she asked immediately. "How would I know?" Hayden vented out at her. "Dad, you need to help Raymond. I know I deserve this, but Raymond has nothing to do with my plans. For the sake of Raymond, please," Savannah was using the last bit of sympathy in Hayden to help her. Indeed, Hayden only called her because he pitied Raymond. He laughed coldly, "All of these wouldn't have happened if it's not because of you. Talk to your father-in-law. Archer may be managing the company, but he couldn't be making all of the decisions.
"Why do you say so?" William didn't seem surprised. "Savannah hated your mom. I heard her and Dixie, her maid, cursing your mother, calling her a b*tch who stole her father from her. Savannah wanted your mom to die." Ronald thought his words would anger William, but he was disappointed. William was very calm. He only looked at Ronald and said flatly, "You're only guessing. Now, tell me about Savannah's pregnancy and her baby." The lack of emotion from William only gave Ronald chills. So, he had no choice but to carry on. "Not many people knew about Savannah's pregnancy. The Howards' bodyguards did quite a good job of guarding her. Besides, she also rarely appeared in public. At least I had never seen her before she gave birth. I think she was afraid that Archer might try to end her pregnancy with force." "I see... If so, I assume you know nothing else about her at that time?" William asked, giving Ron
In the presidential suite of Wolf Group Hotel, Gavin stared at Archer in surprise, "What are you doing here in B city?" "Business trip," Archer simply replied. "What business? Don't you already have someone employed for this specific reason?" "I'm planning to set up a company here, and I'm already partway through the process." Although confused, Gavin asked with a soft smile, "Really? Are you planning to put Raymond in charge of this company as a practice?" "No," Archer shook his head. "I'm planning to send him abroad." "What?" Gavin raised his voice. "Why? He has already been abroad for so many years!" "Do I still need to explain myself?" Archer looked at Gavin coldly. "Don't you remember what I told you when you insisted on me marrying Savannah?" Of course, Gavin didn't forget. When Archer agreed to marry Savannah, he had made it very clear t
