I made my way to Yard Group with the documents covering the first project contract with Grant Corporation. My plans would be too obvious otherwise.When I saw Sylvester, I handed him the contract. "This is the first project. Do have a look at it, President Yard.”He accepted the documents and carefully reviewed the contents of the documents.Sylvester was still wary of this partnership with Grant Corporation. It was not difficult to tell based on his focused expression.What should I say to sound casual?Just then, Sylvester’s secretary came in with a stack of documents in their arms. “President Yard, these are the old documents the former President Yard left in his office. Where should I put them?”"Do you even need to ask me about something so trivial? Just put them in the cabinet. These old documents are basically useless."Judging from Sylvester’s tone, he really did not like Silas very much and was showing it a bit too obviously.It looked like he was being so arrogant and
"It sounds like Sylvester is sure that Silas has gone abroad. If Silas really were still in Hatton, then he really distrusts Sylvester too much." Theo chuckled, as if sarcastically."Yes. Who would’ve thought that the grandson was dissatisfied with his grandfather while at the same time, the grandfather distrusts his grandson,” I chimed in.They had lived together for more than twenty years after all but still, there did not seem to be a shred of family affection between them.I shook my head helplessly, a taste of bitterness in my heart. If my mother were still around she would probably be unhappy."By the way, Sylvester is sorting out the Yard Group’s files from the past twenty years. Is there any point to this?”My mind had been locked on this, I wanted to know the answer."Historical archives?" Theo touched his chin with a thoughtful look.I looked at him, my gaze serious. "Yes, you’re the clearest about these things. What do you say is the point of sorting these out?""On
As it turned out, it was not easy to find out a thing about Silas. Marius and Shannon could not uncover any useful information using their connections.In Green Orange's office, Marius turned his gaze to me. "Sis Wan, I think you'll hurt yourself if you were to continue looking into the validity of Silas's words."That's right, Wanda. Marius is right. If Silas caught Gareth so that you could not get the truth from his mouth, then he clearly wanted you to believe that what he said was true. You'll get in trouble if you continue this and be finds out in the end," Shannon echoed Marius.I understood their worries, I've also thought of them. "I know you guys are worried about me, but I already have thought about it. Theo also has preparatory measures. You can rest assured that I'll be fine. It'll remain a thorn in our minds if Theo and I don't get this matter verified. I think it is impossible."I heard Marius sigh and looked at him. "Don't worry, really. I'll be fine.""You're a mo
I was inexplicably nervous entering Yard Mansion.The housekeeper took me to the living room. She opened the door and let me in. "Miss Lane, please come in.""Thank you."I caught a sweet perfume scent that only women wore when I entered. Was there someone else here?I looked toward the sofa and saw a beautiful woman sitting there looking at me. Her red lips were pulled into a bright smile. "Sylvester, Miss Lane is here."She knew me.Sylvester turned around. "President Lane, you're here." I went up to them, my gaze falling on the woman. "This is...""Hello, my name is Rooney Taylor," she introduced herself. "My girlfriend," Sylvester immediately added.I had never heard about Sylvester having a girlfriend before so I gave her a nod. "Hello, I'm Wanda Lane.""I know. Sylvester mentioned you, you're his sister," Rooney said without hesitation.I was stunned. So, that was how Sylvester had been introducing me. There was a special feeling in my heart.Sylvester glared at
“Tidied up?” I unconsciously voiced out.Rooney caught this and answered me without trying to hide anything, “Yes. Chairman Yard probably isn’t going to come back and just settle abroad. That’s why it’s getting tidied up.”“I see.” I looked at the people coming and going upstairs, doubt filling me.I had wanted to get some more information from Rooney but then Sylvester appeared. “I’ve looked through the project. It’s not bad. I’ll go to Grant Corporation tomorrow and hash out the details with President Grant.”That sounded like he was chasing me away.Could Sylvester really be hiding something?So as to not arouse suspicion, I smiled and replied, “Alright then. I’ll take my leave first now. I won’t disturb you two anymore.”Just when I was about to leave, Rooney grabbed hold of me. “Sylvester, I haven’t talked to anyone for so many days. Finally, another girl comes over, so why don’t you let her stay a bit more to keep me company?”Sylvester glanced at me before looking back a
I was just a step away from my mother’s room. I reached my hand out toward the doorknob before lightly turning it open.No, I could not go in now.This was not the best time.I pulled back my hand and turned to leave.When I came back to the room, Rooney had just come out of the bathroom.“I’m sorry to keep you waiting. My tummy was a little unwell,” Rooney apologized with a smile. Her smile seemed to put all the flowers to shame.She was a really beautiful girl!Her every move and action looked so beautiful to me.For a moment, I could not help but be stunned by her.“Wanda?”Her voice brought me back to my senses.“Let’s go look for Sylvester.”“Alright.”I followed Rooney downstairs. Sylvester just so happened to notice us and looked up. “Did you guys simply run about?”Sylvester was obviously directing that at me.Just when I was about to reply, Rooney beat me to it. “We didn’t. Wanda has been keeping me company in my room.”“That’s good.”Seeing Sylvester heave a
"Rooney Taylor?" Theo frowned, expressing his doubt.I told Theo about my visit to Yard Mansion, and he seemed very interested in Rooney. "Since Sylvester seems dead set on Rooney, then you should be able to stay in Yard Mansion as long as you grasp the opportunity to get along with Rooney. That way, we’re one step closer to our objective.”Theo was right. If I could stay over at Yard Mansion, then nighttime would be the most suitable time for me to look around.I nodded thoughtfully and looked at Theo. "Let’s do that. I’m now mostly certain that Silas had lied to me. He wouldn’t have taken Gareth away otherwise.”The man in front of me smiled gratifiedly and rubbed my head. "Even so, you have to find the evidence. That’ll be the real end.""Okay, we’ll go with what you said." I leaned on Theo's shoulder, and it gave me a great sense of security. I had once thought of escaping, and that would practically be my failure to appreciate his kindness."Right." Theo seemed to have thoug
After having reached an agreement with Sylvester, Theo would pull Sylvester in whenever there were good projects. Gradually, Sylvester also lowered his guard.My relationship with Rooney was also improving. She called me that day."Wanda, Sylvester will be working overtime at the company tonight, and I’ll be home alone. Would you like to accompany me?" I could imagine Rooney’s pitiful gaze at the moment based on her voice.This was a good opportunity. Sylvester would not be home.I agreed, "Okay, I'll get ready and head over in a bit.”"Okay."After hanging up the phone, I turned to look at Theo. "Sylvester is working overtime tonight, and Rooney asked me to accompany her."“The opportunity has come. Take hold of it. I’ll wait for good news. Of course, you also need to be careful…” Theo could not help himself from telling me everything I should pay attention to.I kissed the corner of his mouth. “I’m just going over for one night. Wait for me.”“I’ll take you there. I’ll fet
