A Crazy One-night Stand
Chapter 22: Does an Old Fox Understand a Trap?

Alina walked alongside Wilson, attracting the attention of everyone around them. Wilson was well-known amongst the upper class in Jameson City. Who was this beautiful woman standing next to him? Everyone was curious as to which family she belonged to.

Wilson led Alina to meet his acquaintances one by one. Alina carried herself with poise and grace, greeting them with a beaming smile.

In the distance, Ken's gaze was fixated on Alina. He was slightly annoyed by her beaming smile, although he couldn't look away from her. "Does your feet hurt?" Wilson asked Alina in a low voice.

"I'm fine!" She replied with a gentle smile. Alina accompanied Wilson as he introduced her to his acquaintances, clinking glasses as they went.

"Hold on a little longer, it will be over soon!" Wilson reassured her.

"Alright." Alina nodded in response.

"Hello, Mr. Wilson!" Walter's voice rang out. The woman holding onto his arm was his daughter, Clara Williams. She was dressed in a blue, low-cut evening gown. With her curly hair in an updo, she looked enchanting and feminine. She fluttered her eyes at Wilson and greeted him as well, "Mr. Wilson, long time no see!"

"Good evening," Wilson replied coldly. He was well aware of Clara's feelings for him. However, he was never interested in women who threw themselves at him. After knowing what Walter had done to him, he was even more dismissive of the Walter Family.

"Congratulations, Mr. Wilson, for obtaining the Harry Family's exclusive supplier rights!" Walter raised his glass. There was a smile on his face, but his heart was filled with hatred.

If it weren't for Wilson's interference, he might have been able to obtain the exclusive supplier rights for the Harry Family. Even if it wasn't exclusive, it would have been a sizeable sum of profit.

If only Walter knew that the 500 million dollar loan was foiled by Wilson. If only he knew that it was Wilson who released the rumours about Williams Group financial situation. If only he knew that Wilson had secretly taken back his capital. If Walter knew all this, he might have died of anger on the spot.

"Thanks!" Wilson was his usual cold self. Walter didn't sense anything wrong.

After saying his goodbyes, Walter whispered to Clara, "Clara, its all up to you now!"

Clara nodded and glanced at Wilson as he left. She said with determination, "Father, I will definitely force Wilson to take responsibility. Thank goodness for your thoroughness. It was fortunate that you managed to create an alibi for me and destroyed all incriminating evidence. It's just that I don't know which woman got lucky last time!"

Walter's gaze was undecipherable as he stared at Wilson's back. "That's not important now! The most important thing is Wilson still doesn't know that it was me who drugged him!" Walter's lips curled into a smile. "As the saying goes, an old fox understands the trap! Even though Wilson is called a wolf by people within the industry due to his sharp decisiveness, he is still young and naive. If he hadn't found out the culprit by now, it would be harder in the future. I overestimated him, such a waste of my time being worried for so long."

"But father, did he really not notice?" Clara frowned slightly.

"Silly girl, with Wilson's personality, if he found out that it was me who drugged him, did you think he would speak so politely to me? If he did, Williams Group would have been bankrupt by now!" Walter was certain that Wilson didn't know anything about him being involved, so he felt slightly relieved.

Even though Walter Group had suffered from continuous setbacks, as long as it wasn't a deliberate suppression from Wilson, he was unafraid.

Wilson greeted the last few guests whom he was familiar with, then he turned to Alina. "I'll send you back!"

"There's no need. I'll be fine." Alina tried to refuse his offer.

"I'm not at ease to let you go alone. Come on!" Wilson said firmly.

Alina was going to refuse, but Wilson had already strode to the door. She immediately ran after him in her high heels and said hurriedly, "Wilson, I, I need to go to the bathroom!"

Wilson stopped in his tracks and couldn't help but smile at her antics. He turned around and saw that Alina was looking at him anxiously.

"I'll wait for you in the car!"

"Okay!" Alina agreed. She picked up the hem of her gown and walked to the bathroom.

Wilson sat at the back seat and flipped through some documents about Williams Group. He looked out of the window from time to time for Alina. Five minutes passed. Ten minutes passed. Fifteen minutes had passed. Alina still didn't show up! ☐☐☐
