Thaud's words were to hint to him that he was not welcome there.

"Since you are here, it makes no difference. I'm here to negotiate with your company. I know that you have a construction project abroad and I was hoping to be a part of it." Wilson did not hide his purpose of coming here. What he needed to do now was to integrate into the Hayes family.

Hearing this, Thaud was expressionless. The foreign project had been secured not long ago. He had no idea about Jaseh's plans on collaborations. Moreover, he couldn't understand who Wilson had gotten the news from.

When Wilson saw his expression, he did not fret. Thaud was just a lawyer, and everything in the company was decided by Jaseh. Even if he was not there, Thaud could still pass on his words to him. That was enough.

"How did you know about this, Mr. Godfrey?"

"The news that you bid for it abroad has spread. The Godfrey family has business abroad as well, so it was easy for us to replace out. Besides, we are quite famous in the construction industry, so we can talk about cooperation," Wilson chuckled. He was not surprised by his question because he just wanted to get the construction project.

Looking at him, Thaud felt an inexplicable disgust. Even if the Godfrey family's architects were well-known worldwide, they could not be so arrogant. Everyone would still be living under a roof with or without their existence.

"Mr. Godfrey, although the Godfrey family is well known, it doesn't mean it will be easy to reach an agreement. Besides, foreign projects should be carried out by foreign architects. I'm afraid that your hope is going to be in vain," Thaud coldly rejected his proposal.

Wilson's face was slightly stiff, and then he smiled and said, "Mr. Hayes, you are a lawyer. You are incapable of doing business. Don't be in a hurry to refuse my proposal. I believe everyone knows Godfrey Group's ability,"

"You're wrong, Mr. Godfrey. My family's business is not as good as the Godfrey family's, but it doesn't mean that I have no right to choose. Do you really think that the Godfrey family is capable of dominating the industry?" Thaud's last sentence was a little sarcastic.

Wilson did not care. "What you said is true, but you can always give it a try,"

"Then let's wait and see." Thaud really wanted to give it a try.

Although Wilson knew about this project, he could not let others know about what was in the project. The business of the Hayes family was comparatively smaller in size, but it was enough to occupy the position of the four major families. Did he really think that they could be manipulated by others?

After Wilson left, Thaud couldn't cover up his anger. He looked at the secretary and said, "Go and have a look at it. How did he know about this matter? Do we have spies from the Godfrey family in the Hayes family as well?"

"Yes, I'll go and investigate now," the secretary answered quickly.

Thaud went back to his office and explained everything to Jaseh.

Upon hearing what Thaud had explained, Jaseh laughed coldly and said, "This is a good idea. Those who don't know it might think that he wants to steal official secrets."

"We need to be on guard as well. Wilson is a sinister man. It's hard to say what he'll do," Thaud said in a deep voice. He had no choice but to take precautions against such matters.

Jaseh nodded. There was no doubt that he had to be alert. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Have a private investigation on this. I believe that Wilson is trying to befriend us for some other purpose."

Thaud had the same idea.

Wilson walked out of the Hayes family's company and let out his rage in the car.

He knew that Thaud didn't want to cooperate with him. Now, Godfrey Group had to make more money if he wanted to recover the loss. Otherwise, he couldn't get back Diana's shares.

Wilson's face darkened. Just as he was about to go back to the company, Diana called. "How's it going?"

"It was not a success, Thaud won't agree."

"Of course he won't agree. If you want to cooperate with the Hayes family, you have to get rid of Thaud first. Don't underestimate him. His schemes are no worse than anyone else's." Diana knew the truth after the last incident. It seemed that she had neglected him.

Wilson's expression fell. Indeed, he didn't know much about what happened to Thaud. After all, his focus was more on the external factors, and he didn't manage the company.

He felt that being a lawyer was really a slap in the face.

His words were not only swift and forceful but also full of sarcasm. He was a senior, after all. How could he be willing to be ridiculed by Thaud?

"Forget it, I expected it anyway, but don't forget what you promised me," Diana came to remind him of what her purpose was.

Wilson's face was even more gloomy. "I know. I don't need you to remind me." After that, he hung up the phone. He couldn't understand what he had done to deserve this. "Let's go back to the company first," he shouted angrily.

The driver trembled and drove to the company.

Thaud had decided to investigate Wilson, especially regarding the affairs of the Hayes family. He wanted to replace out how he got the news so fast.

Could it be that they had contact with the Hayes family? The Hayes family owned a big business. It was hard for them not to be a target for others.

It was also possible that Wilson had the intention to use them to achieve an ulterior motive.

Not only was Thaud implementing the investigation, but Theodore was investigating as well. Recently, Wilson's whereabouts were unclear. He was worried that he would do something to harm the Godfrey family. As a result, he found a phone number which called Wilson every few days.

Theodore was getting more and more suspicious, so he handed the number over to Moses and asked him to investigate it.

"Mr. Godfrey, where did you get this number?" Moses asked in surprise.

Theodore gave him a cold glance. Moses obediently shut his mouth and turned to investigate.

After Moses went out, Theodore looked at the scenery outside. That day's weather was pretty good. How about...

Everleigh went to work in the hospital and gave Xavier an examination. After making sure that there were no big problems, she felt more relaxed.

"I'll show you later. If there are no issues, you can be discharged," she said.

"How's my mom doing?" Xavier asked as he put on his clothes.

She looked down and said, "Your mother's condition is not good. Her liver is getting worse, and she doesn't cooperate with the treatment,"

He did not utter a word, "How long can she hold on?" "If she cooperates with the treatment, there is still hope for survival, but if she doesn't cooperate... she won't have much time left," she answered truthfully.

He didn't say much. He put on his clothes and leaned on the hospital bed, looking at the scenery outside. As the autumn wind blew, there was a slight coolness.

"The weather is getting colder. It's a pity that I can't see snow here."

"If it started snowing here, it would mean that something is wrong. Do you like watching snow?" She followed his gaze and looked at the scenery outside. That was the thing in Ocpeace City. No matter how cold it was, it would not snow. If he wanted to see snow, he could only go to another place.

"I used to like looking at the snow, but it's been so many years now. I've never gone out before," he said as he looked at his own leg.
