Paisley did not expect to hear news about William today after arranging for people to investigate him
yesterday.
She was shocked.
"What's abnormal with him?"
"William also went to the Halcyon Hotel last night and stayed there until ten o'clock in the evening.He
was with Valeria when he left.Early in the morning today, he took her to the hospital and waited there
for less than an hour, then they went to the detention center"
"Why did they go to the detention center?" She asked.
"I don't know.They were there for about three hours, but I didn't dare to follow them too closely.After
William and Valeria got off the car, I saw Gary and Gunnar welcoming them at the gate."
"What? You didn't see wrongly, did you?" Paisley was shocked.
"I'm not mistaken.I've known Gary and Gunnar for so many years.
Although I can't say that I can recognize them anytime, but I can say for sure that I saw them
yesterday. They continued,
"Not only did they welcome William and Valeria, they were also very respectful towards them."
Paisley felt that it was impossible.
How could William let the Branch Director and the Director of the Department of Justice welcome him?
This made no sense.She had only suspected him of hiding his skills and knowledge before.
Was he also hiding his identity? Paisley felt that she was out of her mind.She pondered for a moment
and said, "Why do you think they went to the detention center?"
"I don't know.There must be something wrong.However, criminal suspects are always locked up
there.Did they go there to see suspects?"
"Suspects? Could it be..."
She paused for a moment.
"Do you know where Declan is locked up now?"
"I think he's in the detention center at the east of the city.A large number of media reporters are
guarding there in order to get something for their headlines.What's wrong, Miss?"
"Nothing, I was just curious.You just made an important discovery.Good job! If you find any more useful
information, I'll give you a great reward!"
Paisley hung up the phone and saw Hardy staring at her from the sofa.
"What are you investigating?"
She did not hide anything from her own brother.
"I sent someone to investigate William.His behavior is a little abnormal..."
"Do you have nothing else to do? Why did you send someone to investigate an incompetent and
useless playboy?"
He looked at her unhappily.
"Hardy, you can't be so snobbish.He's actually a good person."
She was unhappy to hear what he said about William.
"If he’s a good person, why would he play around with women?" Hardy sneered.
"Paisley, I don't want to criticize you, but what else can William do except exploiting women with his
good looks? Don't be fooled by his looks! He's not a good man!"
"Hardy, I don't understand what you mean.If I follow your logic, then what is Valeria? Any rich family's
daughter is comparable to her! Why did you fall for her then?"
In the face of her questioning, he frowned.
"Women are different from men.Men need to feed their families.Are you sure that he can shelter you
from any troubles if you marry him?"
"I don't need someone to shelter me from troubles.I can solve my own problems by myself."
Seeing that he could not agree with her, he shook his head and said, "Well, I don ‘t want to talk about
this anymore.What do you mean by ‘the detention center’? Who went there?"
"William and Valeria went to the detention center, and the director of the sub-bureau came out to
welcome them in casual clothes.Bro, what do you think of this?"
He was also shocked to hear this.He frowned and thought for a moment.
"Did they go to see the Declan?"
Paisley immediately denied it, "Isn't he locked up in the east of the city? They did not go to that part of
the city."
"That's not right! There must be a reason for this."
Hardy shook his head.
"Yesterday, Declan made it clear that he wanted to plot against Valeria, but why was he the one being
set up in the end? She didn't have the ability to go against him, so there must be someone helping
her.There's no way that William is that powerful...Maybe he asked other people for help? He could
have persuaded Marcus and Richard to help for his sake.But yesterday's incident was too weird! I have
to arrange for someone to acquire information about it first."
In the Howard family's estate, Hayden sat down on the sofa and read through the newspaper.
He shook his head and sighed, "Declan is dead meat!"
Lucas nodded and sighed, "Yea, certainly! This was definitely a build-up of his previous actions too.He
reaps what he sow!"
"It's so strange because no one has dared to mess with him in so long.Why isn't Devon doing
anything?"
Hayden sneered, "I bet he can't even protect himself.Declan and Devon aren't good people.With such
a huge commotion, dozens of media reporters are reporting about it along with their past scandals.Now
that the evidence is clear, what can Devon do? Someone is messing with them.They would be looking
for trouble if they refuted them!"
After Hayden finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something.
"You told me last night that William was at the Halcyon Hotel, right? What was he doing there?"
"I don't know...Why don't you call him to ask?"
Just as Lucas finished speaking, Hayden's phone rang.He glanced at the phone number with a
disgusted expression.
"It's Ronald.What's the matter with him?"
He frowned as he picked up the phone.
"Mr.Brown?"
"Hello, Mr.Howard!"
Ronald greeted him respectfully and immediately got to the point.
"Hello, I wouldn't call you for no reason.I'm calling you to talk about the contract.When do you want to
arrange for someone to progress with the plan?"
"Why are you in such a hurry, Mr.Brown? What's the reason?" Hayden asked faintly.
"I'm a little anxious.Have you heard about what happened last night? I won't hide it from you.Now that
Declan is locked up, nothing is predictable anymore.We should be careful."
Ronald didn't have the guts to say that he had schemed against Valeria.
"In addition, I wanted to remind you that the relationship between William and my rebellious daughter is
really...In short, I think you should think of a way to talk to William." Hayden laughed coldly.
"I got it.Mr.Brown, are you sure you've made up your mind? If you confirmed with that, I can buy the
company any time."
"I've made up my mind.I can't wait anymore!"
After Valeria was sent back by William, she met Lamont in person.
After parting ways with Lamont last night, she hadn't met up with him yet.
She thought that it was necessary to talk to him about what had happened today.
The two of them had just met at the cafe when her phone rang.
It was a call from the company.
"Vice President Brown, something has happened.Please come back soon!"
