Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Watching Xavier’s current progress in his plan, Theodore thought that he would still need some time.

“Since you’re here, let’s have a meal together.”

“I’ve eaten,” Theodore stood up and was about to leave.

Xavier looked at the retreating figure that never turned back. There were things he was able to guess even without asking.

When Wilson was taken away and came back the next day, Xavier was not surprised to see him appear safely during the meeting with the board of directors.

“Mr. Godfrey, when did you come out?” One of the directors asked in surprise when they saw him come back safe and sound.

“I came back last night,” Wilson said in a deep voice and sat on the chair.

Xavier gave him a cold look and didn’t say a word.

The others wanted to ask more, but they heard a person say angrily, “If you don’t want to proceed with the meeting, you can leave now.”

Everyone else heard this and they all fell silent.

However, Wilson said proudly, “It’s reasonable for everyone to be concerned about me because they knew I was in trouble. Why are you so angry, Mr. Godfrey?”

“Angry? If it wasn’t because of the Godfrey family’s money, I don’t think you would be sitting here. You all might as well get out and have a good chat by the road, discussing among yourselves how Mr. Godfrey went in and out without a scratch?” Xavier’s sarcastic voice echoed in the office.

Hearing his words, Wilson’s proud face disappeared and he looked gloomy.

Other people were even more afraid to speak. If a father and son could speak so viciously to each other, what more was there to say for outsiders like them?

During the meeting, Xavier pointed out that the department managed by Wilson had performed poorly. He rebuked angrily, “Mr. Godfrey, what’s wrong with your department? There’s not even a slightest bit of improvement seen. You might as well just dismiss your department. We don’t need to waste money to pay your salary.”

Wilson looked at the data on it and said coldly, “You have all the documents in your hand so if the clients want to meet up, they have to find you. People from our department can’t interfere.”

“The clients are all old customers. Do you still need to meet up with them? Your main task is to find new clients. You can’t even do this and you still want to blame it on me?”

Wilson listened to the truth in his words. Everyone in the room listened quietly. The same thing always happened in every meeting. Wilson was always the one who was silenced.

“Are you blaming me…”

“Shouldn’t I blame you for it? The directors’ shares are less than yours but they still continued working. Are you trying to just sit around and do nothing yet enjoy the profits?”

Wilson’s face turned red with rage. How dare Xavier compare himself to the others.

Xavier knew what Wilson cared about the most. As a proud and arrogant person, he couldn’t stand being compared to others.

It just so happened that Xavier liked comparing with others. If he was angry, Wilson shouldn’t get away with it too.

At the end of the meeting, everyone left. Wilson and Xavier were the only two people remaining.

“What are you trying to say?”

“I learned it from you, didn’t I? I do whatever it takes in order to achieve my goal. Wilson, they said that I’m very similar to you, but why do I feel that we’re not alike at all?” Xavier looked at him with a smirk on his face.

Wilson answered him coldly. “You don’t trust me?”

“Trust? I used to believe that you were a kind father, but I never expected that my father was a cruel man,” Xavier smiled, showing his white teeth, but the hatred and coldness in his eyes were strong.

Wilson knew that there was hatred towards him in Xavier’s heart, but ultimately he was still his father.

“Let’s not talk about the past anymore.”

“Of course you wouldn’t want to say anything. Since you’ve done it, what else do you have to say? Just like this time, killing people without batting an eye,” Xavier replied with a clear voice, as if he was talking about unimportant things.

Wilson frowned, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

“You know very well in your heart whether I’m talking nonsense or not.”

“If I had really killed without batting an eye, I wouldn’t even be here.”

“If you hadn’t played dirty tricks, you wouldn’t be here. Don’t think that you can be safe even after you’ve come out. I’m telling you, Theodore won’t give up.” After saying this, he turned around and left the conference room.

Wilson’s expression was grim and horrible, and there was a murderous look in his eyes which made people shiver.

Theodore had already heard the news about Wilson being released. Moses stood aside like an insect in the cold, with his head lowered and he remained silent.

“What’s that person’s background?”

“He had been working for Wilson the whole time. It’s expected that he would take the blame for him,” Moses answered as he had already looked into it.

Wilson looked for a scapegoat to take the blame for him and used the person’s name to do a lot of things. Moreover, Wilson’s reputation in the public was good. No one would believe that a father would backstab his own son.

Theodore, on the other hand, had offended quite a few people in the past few years. This person had used Wilson’s identity to take revenge on him.

Moreover, the evidence had pointed to him so he was arrested.

Before Wilson came out, Theodore already knew that he had found a way to solve the problem. Finding someone to take the blame was the best solution.

“Find that person’s information.”

“It’s under investigation, but the results won’t be satisfying,” Moses said cautiously.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Theodore’s pupils constricted slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his eyes. “Reason?”

“The man’s name is Casion Martell. His background is clean, but it’s so clean that we can’t even find his family.”

“Then it’s not clean, is it?”

Moses did not answer. In fact, he knew that it was normal for a person to have a clean background. However, there was no reason for him to hide his family. Wasn’t he trying to make others suspicious?

In addition, they had seen Casion before. He looked gentle, and his character was likable. He had also mentioned his family. He would not have said that if he wanted to hide his family.

“Go find his family and inform them to keep him alive. He will be a key witness.”

“Mr. Godfrey, are you suspicious of his family?”

“Human beings are emotional animals and family members are their only concern. Otherwise, Sandom wouldn’t have told everything for the sake of his mother. Go find them. Wilson’s best weapon is to threaten others. This is the simplest and most effective way.”

Theodore had gotten to know Wilson through Everleigh’s incident. Perhaps he had not known his father well enough, since he didn’t know that he would do so many inhumane things for the sake of his own benefit.

“Yes, I’ll send someone to look for it right now,” Moses nodded, turned around and left.

Theodore leaned back in his chair and enjoyed the dazzling sunlight. Although he hated Wilson very much, things had eventually come to an end.

In the evening, he went to pick up Everleigh, Alastair and Adrienne for dinner. He told her about the matter, but she didn’t say anything about it.

“What’s wrong?” He felt a little uneasy when he saw that she remained quiet.

“Although this issue has been resolved for now, what about in the future? You have seen Wilson’s tricks. I’m really worried that more innocent people will get involved. What’s more, the suspicion towards Stainley hasn’t been cleared.”

His eyes narrowed slightly as he put down the knife in his hand. “Are you worried about Stainley?”
