Chapter 426


    Everleigh was a little embarrassed and didn''t know what to say.


    "Well then... Thanks for your help, Felicia."


    "Okay." Felicia replied and hung up the phone.


    Everleigh put down her phone. She could only pray for the whole matter to end soon.


    Theodore sat in his office, looking at the documents on his desk. For the first time, he felt that his


    head was about to explode.


    Moses stood beside him, exining everything that had happened after.


    "I remember that Hoffman wasn''t married," Theodore said.


    "Yes, he was single. I''ve heard that his mother is the only one left, and is now taken care of by his


    uncle."


    "Get to the bottom of this first. As for thepensation, we''ll give it to her after everything is over,"


    Theodore instructed in a low voice. His eyes were bloodshot after a sleepless night, but it didn''t


    affect his appearance at all.


    After hearing his instruction, Moses turned around and went back to work.


    Theodore turned his chair around and looked out the window. His emotions hadn''t been eased in


    the slightest. Instead, he was feeling much worse. At that moment, his phone rang. He looked at the


    screen and saw that it was Xavier.


    Theodore answered it and asked in a deep voice, "What''s the matter?"


    "I''m just calling to check on your situation, but hearing your loud and energetic voice now, you seem


    to be doing just fine."


    "Did you call just to check on me?"


    Xavier snorted, "I just want to remind you that Wilson made a very big move this time. He really


    made a big deal out of it."


    Theodore was furious to hear his words.


    "When did you find out?"


    Xavier wasn''t surprised by his question. He specially made the call to talk to him about it.


    "Actually, this matter has something to do with me. I previously told him that you were the one who


    informed me about the investment, saying that he is the real boss behind thepany, so now, he''s


    looking for trouble with you." Xavier sounded cold. He didn''t feel guilty at all; he found it quite


    reasonable.


    Theodore''s brows knitted in an instant. "What the hell are you doing? Why are you drawing his


    attention to me?"


    Xavierughed and responded in a bright and clear voice, "You are indeed my brother. How did you


    find out so quickly that I have a n in mind?" "You''ve been fighting and going against him for such


    a long time. Do you really think that I''m clueless?"


    "Ah... Since you know about it, I assume that you know my n too, right?" Xavier asked.


    Theodore didn''t reply. He had been focusing on his newpanytely, so he didn''t really care


    about the problems going on over at Godfrey Group.


    However, Wilson had really gone overboard.


    "Where is Wilson?"


    "Of course he''s at work. He''s been really quiet recently. I think he''s waiting for you to fail. He''s really


    a good father; he''s so determined to kill the both of us," Xavier said with a sigh.


    Theodore didn''t want to waste any time talking nonsense with him, so he hung up the phone.


    On the afternoon the volunteer died, he had already known that it must have something to do with


    Wilson, but he chose to keep it to himself, as no one would believe him without any solid


    evidence.


    What''s more, he couldn''t find a single clue either from thepany or the hospital.


    Even if he went to confront Wilson face to face, he wouldn''t admit to doing so.


    He was infuriated. Wilson was his own father. Everyone else''s fathers wanted to see their own


    children seed, but his father waspletely different. He wanted to see his two sons lying dead


    on the streets.


    Everleigh went into Theodore''spany through the back door. He had told her before that she


    was free to move about in thepany as she liked.


    The moment she stepped inside his office, she felt a chill flowing through her.


    "Are you still angry?" A soft voice came from the doorway.


    Theodore turned around and saw Everleigh, who was in a white dress, standing at the door. A faint


    smile appeared on his face.


    "Why are you here?"


    "Such a big thing has happened. I''m really worried, so I stopped by to have a look." She walked


    over in her high heels and sat down on the sofa. Looking at the messy table that was piled up with


    documents, she helped him sort it out.


    "Leave this to my secretary."


    "What did the government say?" She asked.


    He stood up and poured her a ss of warm water. The weather was a little cold after the rain, so


    warm water would make her feel better. "They''re investigating it by following the normal procedure,


    and it''smon for production to be ceased in the mean time."


    She looked at the ss of warm water and chuckled, "Warm water, again? Is this the only drink that


    you have?"


    "What do you want to drink then?" His expression stiffened slightly as he listened to her.


    He didn''t know what was wrong with serving her warm water.


    "Milk tea." Everleigh raised her head with a hint of smile in her big, clear eyes. Theodore


    immediately took out his phone and ordered a cup for delivery.


    He was fine with it.


    Ten minutester, a cup of milk tea was delivered. She took a sip of it, it was really sweet and


    refreshing.


    "What are your ns right now?" She continued asking.


    "Wait for the investigation results toe out." "Do you have any idea who did it?" She lowered


    her head and asked in a soft voice.


    He didn''t say anything in response.


    She was dazed. "You do know who did it, don''t you?"


    "Apart from Wilson, who else would have the balls to do this to me?" He asked helplessly, but his


    tone wasced with sorrow and anger.


    The sad part was that Wilson was his own father, and the angry part was that he had done such a


    cruel thing to him.


    After hearing his words, Everleigh''s eyes dimmed, and she suddenly felt that the milk tea was no


    longer sweet as before. It tasted bitter, just like her heart.


    "What are you going to do next?" She asked again.


    "What we have to do right now is to look for evidence. As for Wilson, I''ll deal with him after this


    matter is over."


    She felt that since Wilson had blown up the incident, he would definitely clean up all the evidence


    and trails he had left behind. It would be extremely difficult to find any proof.


    At that moment, Moses walked in with an anxious look on his face. "Take a look at this, Mr.


    Godfrey."


    Everleigh''s cell phone rang at the same time. It was from Felicia. She knew that something was


    wrong and quickly answered it. "Felicia."


    "Everleigh, I have some bad news. The olddy is dead."


    This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    "What did you say?" She eximed.


    Theodore''s expression turned ashen as well when he saw the information in his hands. "When did it


    happen?"


    "Shortly after she left thepany. Mr. Godfrey, this isn''t important. What''s more important now is


    that everyone thinks you are behind her death. Some sources even im that she was forced to


    death by us!" Moses said furiously.


    They were in thepany the entire time. How could they possibly kill the old woman?


    The public opinion was like an invisible knife. It could stab anyone to death at any time.


    Everleigh was also dumbfounded. All she did was just investigate her. How could it possibly


    happen?


    "Everleigh, don''t worry, my men are still investigating. We''re checking if she''s ever had a dispute


    with anyone else. If we can find that person, everything will be fine."
