The Trap
Anthony came into his grandfather's room with the Buddha statue.He placed the statue on a table, and
then turned his wheelchair and stopped in front of the bed.
The old man lying in bed instantly saw what Anthony brought in, and he looked at his grandson with
loving eyes.
"I don't know if you've noticed it, but Raymond is growing a little too big for his britches.Don't you
think?"
The moment Michael mentioned Raymond's name, he couldn't conceal his disgust.
"Well, how long are you going to let him boast around acting all mighty?"
As Michael continued talking, Anthony gently poured a cup of water for his grandfather.
"He's only in charge of the family business by name.It's not like he can really do whatever he wants."
The business the Wilson family ran was divided into two major factions—the core business and the
periphery business.
On the surface, what most people saw was the periphery business.
Although it seemed to flaunt the family's influence and resources, it actually had little value.
However, the core business was the one that served as the center of actual power and wealth of the
family.
On top of that, it was highly classified.
It was too critical that people like Raymond weren't even qualified enough to know about its existence.
"Still, I can't help but feel sorry for you..." Michael said softly as he lowered his head.
Some time ago, the Wilson family underwent drastic changes.
It all began when Michael got injured and hospitalized, and Anthony became a cripple.
For most people, what they knew was that this happened because of Anthony's poor judgment.
He failed to foresee their enemies’ plan, making him and his grandfather fall victims to the trap laid out
for them.
In the end, Michael was injured and he himself became disabled for the rest of his life.Then, in
Michael's anger, he decided that Anthony wasn't worthy of becoming the heir of the Wilson family
anymore.
This meant that he would have to select another heir from the Wilsons.
Although this was supposed to be just a rumor, there was a pretty powerful piece of evidence pointing
out its credibility.
This was when Michael arranged Anthony's marriage to the daughter of a "humble" family.
The Jenkins might have a reputation that was much greater than average families in Sheffield, but their
social status was still far down compared to the Wilson family.
But no one knew that behind all these rumors, the one actually pulling the strings to spread them was
none other than Anthony himself.
"Is it not time to draw the net up?" Michael asked, hinting at the possibility of taking action.
However, Anthony just shook his head and uttered, "Don't be too worried about Raymond.He's just a
clown who won't be able to do anything against me.There are still some people who are lurking in the
dark.We have to sniff them out first.If they are going to play a waiting game, I can be patient."
Seeing the confidence in Anthony's eyes, Michael also felt assured.
Most times, in wealthy families, the family members valued the benefits that they could obtain more
than having a harmonious relationship with everyone.
In fact, in order to guarantee his inheritance right, Raymond contacted the Wilson family's rivals and
colluded with them.
They plotted to kill both Michael and Anthony, the master and the heir of the Wilson family at that
time.He was so blinded by greed that he didn't care how unforgivable his action was.
Because of this, Anthony decided to put on this show in order to reorganize the Wilson family.
Of course, he and Michael were in on it together.
"I also heard that the Jenkins family adopted a country girl to replace their daughter to marry you. Is
that true?"
Michael let out a frown, thinking that Bill wasn't being grateful to them.
Even though Bill tried his hardest to secretly manipulate the situation in his favor, his movements
wouldn't escape Michael's intelligence network.
"It's my fault that we cannot find out the true identity of the person who tipped us off...But I didn't expect
that Bill would pull off something like this.That man can be a wily fox."
"It doesn't really matter."
Anthony waved his hand, his tone very indifferent.
"In fact, I think it's good that my bride is going to be a girl from a small town in the countryside. At least
I'd know for sure that she has a clean background."
It was true that with Raymond's help, the enemies of the Wilson family managed to ambush Michael.
However, Anthony managed to save him at the most crucial moment.
Moreover, the only reason why Anthony could come and save Michael in the nick of time was that he
had received a mysterious tip about their enemies’ plan.
The Wilson family boasted a lot of resources and high-end technology, but they still couldn't locate the
person who sent the information that saved Michael.
The only thing they could confirm was that the information was sent from the small town in the
countryside where the poor Jenkins families lived.
Although the person was adamant about revealing their identity, Michael found out about Bill Jenkins
through thorough investigations.
It turned out that he was the only Jenkins from that town who now lived in Sheffield.
Coincidentally, Bill had a daughter.
After conducting a background check, they learned that Vivian seemed to meet all the standards of an
eligible lady.
Therefore, on a whim, Michael made an arrangement to set up an engagement between Vivian and
Anthony.
However, Anthony was busy with other affairs at that time, so he didn't know that Michael was planning
something like this.
Nonetheless, he didn't object or say anything even after learning about the engagement.
He simply began to spread the rumor that he was stripped of the right to become the heir of the Wilson
family and that he ended up being permanently disabled because of the ambush.
He actually thought that Bill would propose to cancel the engagement after hearing about the rumors.
But it came as a surprise that because he didn't dare offend the Wilson family, he actually adopted a
new daughter to make the situation still favorable for him.
"Anyway...Anthony, you know that arranging this engagement for you at that time was just an impulse
of mine.If you want, we can always call it off..."
Michael thought that as he grew older, his decision-making skills got poorer.Because of this
engagement, he assumed that he made unnecessary trouble for Anthony.
Now, he wanted to cancel the engagement.
The only problem was that if the Wilson family took the initiative to propose its withdrawal, it would
inevitably make them lose face.
If they pushed through with it, they would have to properly apologize to Bill for the inconvenience they
caused.
However, it seemed that Anthony had a different idea in mind.He shook his head and advised, "Don't
worry about it.I'll handle it myself."
