Chapter 426 An Unexpected Accident Everleigh was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
"Well then... Thanks for your help, Felicia." "Okay." Felicia replied and hung up the phone.
Everleigh put down her phone. She could only pray for the whole matter to end soon.
Theodore sat in his office, looking at the documents on his desk. For the first time, he felt that his head was about to explode.
Moses stood beside him, explaining everything that had happened after.
"I remember that Hoffman wasn't married," Theodore said.
"Yes, he was single. I've heard that his mother is the only one left, and is now taken care of by his uncle." "Get to the bottom of this first. As for the compensation, we'll give it to her after everything is over," Theodore instructed in a low voice. His eyes were bloodshot after a sleepless night, but it didn't affect his appearance at all. After hearing his instruction, Moses turned around and went back to work.
Theodore turned his chair around and looked out the window. His emotions hadn't been eased in the slightest. Instead, he was feeling much worse.
At that moment, his phone rang. He looked at the screen and saw that it was Xavier.

"I'm just calling to check on your situation, but hearing your loud and energetic voice now, you seem to be doing just fine." "Did you call just to check on me?" Xavier snorted, "I just want to remind you that Wilson made a very big move this time. He really made a big deal out of it." Theodore was furious to hear his words.
"When did you find out?" Xavier wasn't surprised by his question. He specially made the call to talk to him about it.
"Actually, this matter has something to do with me. I previously told him that you were the one who informedabout the investment, saying that he is the real boss behind the company, so now, he's looking for trouble with you." Xavier sounded cold. He didn't feel guilty at all; he found it quite reasonable.
Theodore's brows knitted in an instant. "What the hell are you doing? Why are you drawing his attention to me?" Xavier laughed and responded in a bright and clear voice, "You are indeed my brother. How did you find out so quickly that I have a plan in mind?" "You've been fighting and going against him for such a long time. Do you really think that I'm clueless?" "Ah... Since you know about it, I assthat you know my plan too, right?" Xavier asked.
Theodore didn't reply. He had been focusing on his new company lately, so he didn't really care about the problems going on over at Godfrey Group. However, Wilson had really gone overboard.
"Where is Wilson?" "Of course he's at work. He's been really quiet recently. I think he's waiting for you to fail. He's really a good father; ;he's so determined to kill the both of us," Xavier said with a sigh.
Theodore didn't want to waste any ttalking nonsense with him, so he hung up the phone.
On the afternoon the volunteer died, he had already known that it must have something to do with Wilson, but he chose to keep it to himself, as no one would believe him without any solid evidence. What's more, he couldn't find a single clue either from the company or the hospital.
Even if he went to confront Wilson face to face, he wouldn't admit to doing so.
He was infuriated. Wilson was his own father. Everyone else's fathers wanted to see their own children succeed, but his father was completely different. He wanted to see his two sons lying dead on the streets. Everleigh went into Theodore's company through the back door. He had told her before that she was free to move about in the company as she liked.

"Are you still angry?" A soft voice cfrom the doorway.
Theodore turned around and saw Everleigh, who was in a white dress, standing at the door. A faint smile appeared on his face.
"Why are you here?" "Such a big thing has happened. I'm really worried, so I stopped by to have a look." She walked over in her high heels and sat down on the sofa. Looking at the messy table that was piled up with documents, she helped him sort it out. "Leave this to my secretary." "What did the government say?" She asked.
He stood up and poured her a glass of warm water. The weather was a little cold after the rain, so warm water would make her feel better. "They're investigating it by following the normal procedure, and it's common for production to be ceased in the mean time." She looked at the glass of warm water and chuckled, "Warm water, again? Is this the only drink that you have?" "What do you want to drink then?" His expression stiffened slightly as he listened to her.
He didn't know what was wrong with serving her warm water.
"Milk tea." Everleigh raised her head with a hint of smile in her big, clear eyes. Theodore immediately took out his phone and ordered a cup for delivery.
He was fine with it.
Ten minutes later, a cup of milk tea was delivered. She took a sip of it, it was really sweet and refreshing. "What are your plans right now?" She continued asking.
"Wait for the investigation results to cout." "Do you have any idea who did it?" She lowered her head and asked in a soft voice.

Just a heads up: is the only place Orthis to read the complete version of t this book for free. Don't miss out on the next chapter-visit us now and continue your journey! He didn't say anything in response. She was dazed. "You do know who did it, don't you?" "Apart from Wilson, who else would have the balls to do this to me?" He asked helplessly, but his tone was laced with sorrow and anger.
The sad part was that Wilson was his own father, and the angry part was that he had done such a cruel thing to him.
After hearing his words, Everleigh's eyes dimmed, and she suddenly felt that the milk tea was no longer sweet as before. It tasted bitter, just like her heart.
"What are you going to do next?" She asked again.
"What we have to do right now is to look for evidence. As for Wilson, I'll deal with him after this matter is over."
She felt that since Wilson had blown up the incident, he would definitely clean up all the evidence and trails he had left behind. It would be extremely difficult to find any proof. At that moment, Moses walked in with an anxious look on his face. "Take a look at this, Mr. Godfrey." Everleigh's cell phone rang at the stime. It was from Felicia. She knew that something was wrong and quickly answered it. "Felicia." "Everleigh, I have sbad news. The old lady is dead." "What did you say?" She exclaimed.
Theodore's expression turned ashen as well when he saw the information in his hands. "When did it happen?"
"Shortly after she left the company.
Mr. Godfrey, this isn't important.
What's more important now is that everyone thinks you are behind her death. Ssources even claim that she was forced to death by us!" Moses said furiously. They were in the company the entire time. How could they possibly kill the old woman? The public opinion was like an invisible knife. It could stab anyone to death at any time.
Everleigh was also dumbfounded. All she did was just investigate her. How could it possibly happen? "Everleigh, don't worry, my men are still investigating. We're checking if she's ever had a dispute with anyone else. If we can find that person, everything will be fine."
