A ghost of a smile touched Wilson's lips, and there was a sparkle in his intelligent eyes. "Of course, we should show our sincerity in doing business. I'm not sure if you are satisfied with my sincerity, Miss Hayes?"
Diana laughed softly, but her eyes were still as piercingly-cold as ice. "I'm satisfied, but I want to appraise. Do you think I'll believe you just because you say so?"
"Sure, I'll come again tomorrow. Miss Hayes, make sure you appraise it thoroughly." He did not stay for too long. He got up and left.
There was not much to say, and it was better to leave it where it should be.
Taking this as a scenario.
If he had said too much, it might backfire on his plans.
After he left, Diana was indeed swayed. There was no way out for her anymore. Even if she had money, no one was willing to work for her. It was not a bad idea to work hand in hand with Wilson and drain the shares of the Godfrey family.
However... She had to do something more.
The next day, Wilson visited again, and Diana readily graced their agreement with her signature.
'Tve already written it down. The money will be transferred to your account soon."
"Miss Hayes, you're a straightforward person. The Hayes family must have truly abandoned you."
"Mr. Godfrey, you don't need to say such things, I won't fall for your words. However, I have one condition, and I wish to get your agreement."
"Shoot." He raised his eyebrows slightly. He knew that this woman would not comply easily.
She smirked, her eyes spilling avarice. "I want to own the Hayes family."
He arched his eyebrows and said, "The Hayes family is with the government. Are you sure you can handle them?"
"I understand the government's protection, but I only want the wealth of the Hayes family. All their business records are in the hands of Jaseh, and none of his three children are built to operate a business. It's more than reasonable for me to get them."
"I can help you, but I won't care about your means of getting them."
"Your word is all it takes. I look forward to our pleasant cooperation." She stretched out her slender hand in front of him.
They shook hands, indicating that they had reached an agreement.
A few days had passed. After Everleigh made sure that everything was under control, she went back. The hospital was being watched over by Stainley. Furthermore, Theodore couldn't afford to waste too much time away from his company.
The same went for the Meyer family, who went back to their home respectively, save Felicia.
The Hayes family had all returned to investigate Diana's whereabouts.
They had already released the news to the public and were sure that many people had read it. Diana had nowhere to hide if she returned to the country.
Everleigh and Theodore returned to the Trevino family home. Leon and Selena had been accompanying Alastair and Adrienne.
"Alastair, Adrienne."
"Daddy, Mommy." Adrienne dumped the toy in her hand and hugged Theodore's legs. Her chubby little face was full of smiles.
"Adrienne, did you miss me?" He picked her up and kissed her on the face.
"Yes, I did," she replied in a childish voice and pressed her little face against his.
When Leon saw the two of them coming back, he asked, "Why didn't you inform me earlier so that we could pick you up?"
Everleigh looked at him, who had clearly gained some weight. "Leon, didn't you go back?"
"Why would I go back? Isn't it a better choice to stay here?" He honestly didn't want to leave. He felt happy staying in the Trevino family, compared to the Allen family, which was always enshrouded in a grieving-like atmosphere.
"It's better here."
Everleigh couldn't be bothered to care about it.
"I'll go up and rest."
