Everleigh observed the flowers thoroughly. They might seem fresh, but more often than not, they symbolized a prelude to something.
She was not pleased by them.
"Fortunately, the temperature in Ocpeace City is just right for these flowers to stay on a little longer."
Ysabelle forced a smile and said nothing.
The two of them quietly breathed in the scent of flowers.
Just then, Felicia broke the silence by asking them to come back into the room for a meal.
Christopher and his father observed the data shown on the screen of the computer. They thought that the data was no different from the previous ones, but under closer inspection, something was off.
"Dad, did he stop?" Christopher asked, watching their shares rising sharply.
There was no sign of dropping.
Samuel's eyes sharpened as he reached out to the controls and scrolled through the data. It was not long before he let out a laugh.
"Wilson, oh, Wilson, you're back after the taste of failure."
Ysabelle and Everleigh heard what he had said as they entered the room.
"What seems to be the problem?"
"Ysabelle, the shares of the Godfrey family have stopped," Christopher said excitedly and quickly presented the data to her.
Felicia noticed it. She took out her phone and called her secretary, wanting to get to the bottom of the incident.
After a short period of time, a hint of a smile appeared on her face, and her joy was visible.
"Hodge, serve my wine now 'cause I am feeling good." Felicia waved her hand and motioned for the butler to fetch it quickly.
Everleigh furrowed her eyebrows and thought, "Does this mean victory?"
"The Godfrey family stopped what they were doing. I think they can no longer afford it," Felicia assumed, pouring a glass of wine for Samuel.
He had the desire to join in, but he drank only a few sips as he had high blood pressure.
When Everleigh heard the news, she was relieved. At least the Godfrey family still stood, allowing Madam Scott to rest in peace.
The meal was delightful. Felicia drank more than she should, mainly because she was proud of her capabilities in a diamond- cut- diamond competition with Wilson.
It was not bad.
Christopher sent Everleigh back.
"Are you concerned about Theodore or Godfrey Group?" He asked.
"Both. Others may not know it but isn't it obvious to you? Why should I even care about Godfrey Group?" Her tone was serious. Her expression was stern, and there was not a speck of mirth.
He took back his cynical attitude. He knew exactly what she meant.
Whatever it was, it had nothing to do with him. No matter what, it was all just her thoughts.
In the meantime, Wilson had already smashed the things in his office. Looking at the mess, he loosened his tie.
He sat in his office chair, smoldering in anger.
The secretary stood aside, not daring to let out a single breath.
"Mr. Godfrey," the secretary said tremulously as she handed the document to him.
"Why are you still sending in documents at times like this?"
"This document is from abroad. Which means... our people want to get themselves arrested for interfering with official duties," the secretary said in a trembling voice, looking at the murderous look on Wilson's face.
Her legs almost gave out.
He snorted coldly and ordered, "Get them here at once."
At this moment, he had to think wisely about his next step.
15 billion dollars were gone in a blink of an eye; how could he let this pass easily?
