In the hospital, Devon rushed into Natasya's ward with a worried face. Raelyn saw him and immediately asked, "How's everything going on?" "The lawyer that I have arranged went to visit George in prison today. However, he told the lawyer that he doesn't intend to appeal his case." Raelyn was surprised and asked, "Why? Didn't you manage to convince him last time?" "Yes, I did. He was very glad during the last visit and was willing to cooperate with us. However, he suddenly changed his mind a few days later. It's too strange," Devon frowned and questioned, "Did something happen?" Raelyn looked puzzled, "What? You're his brother and have nothing against him. He can always come clean to you if something bad happened to him." Devon sighed and said, "Can it be that he doesn't trust the lawyer? But, I can't pay him a visit either. It's like giving someone a free pass to having dirt on me if I were to do so ever since the scandal." "Do you want me to pay him
Gonzalec had been locked up for twenty-four hours since the incident last night. Besides having met with the lawyer that was arranged by Lucian, he had not seen anyone else. He drank a bit more last night but was still conscious of his surroundings. He was accused to make the first move when the man had beaten him up initially. How did he also end up paralyzing the man? "Something isn't right!" Gonzalec felt that something was fishy. However, the footage showed that he was the one who hit the man first. Besides, the man was suffering from a serious injury in the hospital. He was deeply troubled and had no idea how this incident happened. The only possibility was that he had been framed. However, he didn't even know the injured man. Why did he set him up? Gonzalec still could not wrap his head around after a serious thought for the entire day. He had to wait for Lucian and hoped that she was able to come up with a plan soon. The guard suddenly c
William narrowed his eyes, "I want the antidote for the medicine that you sold to Declan. Can you get it for me?" "But... that medicine is my grandfather's. I'm not sure..." "Are you saying that you refuse to do it?" William asked coldly. "Wait, I'll try! I'll try my best!" Gonzalec wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "No, you must get it done! Do you understand?" William laughed coldly and continued, "If you can't do it, I'll then hand your family over to your archenemy. I'm sure he will be pleased to seek his revenge like how you did to his family back then." "I'll do it! William, you have my word!" Cold sweat emerged from Gonzalec's forehead. William was indeed a silent killer. "We shall wait for your good news then!" William stood up and walked out as the guard came in to unlock the handcuffs on Gonzalec. His body was soaking wet and he continued to sit on the chair without making a move. Bobby, who was following William, turned around and st
"The driver?" Fandrey's reminder had made Sammuel stunned for a moment. He recalled the situation from that night in his mind, unfortunately, no bells were rung. "Mr. Floyd, I can't recall anything about the driver. I only remember that the car drove away as soon as the president of Wolf Group got on the car. I didn't see the driver clearly at all." "I've noticed him as I was behind the president at that time. My first sight was on the driver and he looked almost the same as this man." "Can it be that you might have mistaken him? If he really is the president's chauffeur, why will he be the Howards' bodyguard? The president definitely has a much bigger influence than the Howards, right?" Sammuel's words made Fandrey laugh, "Just forget about it. I'll give you a new task instead. From now on, you and your men shall spare no efforts to keep an eye on William. I want to know all about his precise whereabouts." After hanging up the phone with Sammuel, Fandrey
After they had breakfast in the early morning, Archer brought along Raymond to visit William and Valeria in the hospital. Archer brought along food and flowers as usual. He then cheerfully greeted them as he entered the ward, "William, Val, I'm here to see you again!" "Mr. Saunders, please have a seat here!" William invited Archer with a smile and glanced at Raymond. He did not dare to look at William as he lowered his head and seemed uncomfortable. Based on Bobby's information, William knew that the accident had something to do with Raymond. He was clearly feeling guilty judging from his reaction. However, William decided not to confront him as he believe that a smart man like Raymond would never repeat his mistake when he knew that he was at fault. He smiled and patted Raymond on the shoulder, "Have a seat!" Raymond felt increasingly awkward as he glanced at William's cheerful smile. William had always forgiven him when he screwed things up because he w
Silas boarded the plane with several bodyguards to keep an eye on Gonzalec as they made their way to Kenoland. The plane landed at Kenoland at eight in the morning. They then got into the car and headed straight to the deep mountains. The condition of the road was getting worse as they made their way deep into the mountains. Fortunately, their vehicle was a four-wheel-drive that was in excellent condition, otherwise, they could not have continued their journey. Gonzalec was well-behaved after being warned by Silas last night. He remained silent throughout the journey from the airplane to the mountains, as he was afraid that Silas would teach him a lesson. The road condition had worsened and was increasingly bumpy. Silas leaned back on the car seat and closed his eyes to rest. He remained calm despite the bumpy and rocky road. Gonzalec had been watching him carefully. Suddenly, a big rock rolled down from the mountain and almost hit the car. The bodyguard who was
The heavy wooden door creaked open and the interior came into view. An old man in his eighties or nineties dressed in worn-out clothes was sitting on a lounge chair in the room. He lifted his gaze when he heard the sound, and his cloudy eyes lit up when he saw Gonzalec. He replied with a hoarse voice, "Gonzalec, you're back!" "It's me, grandpa! I came back to visit you!" Gonzalec forced a smile and walked towards the old man. The old man reached out to hold Gonzalec's hand. Gonzalec subconsciously withdrew his hand as he did not want to be held by his grandfather. Silas had observed that Gonzalec was afraid of any skinship with the old man, and there must be a reason behind it. As Gonzalec refused to be held, the old man sighed and said, "You haven't come back to visit me for more than a decade. You came back for a favor to ask, right?" "Yes, grandpa. I want the medicine that you have given to my friend last time. Do you still have it?" "Nope!"
Gonzalec's grandpa and Silas went out of the room. Gonzalec stood far away and looked around. He was then surprised when he saw that Silas and his grandpa came out from the room safe and sound. Gonzalec was genuinely afraid of his grandfather as he thought that the old man would pull up some dirty tricks towards Silas. Silas said calmly, "Take your grandfather along with you when we leave as he is no longer young. What if something happens to him here?" "But..." How would Gonzalec be willing to do so? Come to think of it, his grandfather was the poison in their family and things would get messy if he brought his grandfather along with him. Gonzalec's grandfather was not foolish to expect that his grandson would take him away. However, he was still saddened by his grandson's behavior. His grandpa waved his hand and said, "I'm used to living here and will not be able to adjust to a new environment. You can go now and don't worry about me." "Has he give
