Everleigh saw that since the person involved said so, there was nothing more she could say.
Erine's eyes dimmed. She turned to look at Christopher. Seeing that he had peeled the grilled shrimps for her, her eyes were full of distress. Everleigh happened to see the emotions on her face.
She understood that Erine said that to him on purpose.
However, he was quite thick- skinned. He pretended that he didn't hear anything. She wanted to laugh. They were both good at acting, but she didn't know who would be the winner.
When Everleigh returned to the Trevino family home, Selena was sitting alone on the sofa, looking at her phone.
"Selena, why are you alone?"
"Everleigh, haven't you gone out for a holiday? When did you come back?"
"I came back yesterday," Everleigh answered, feeling guilty. She had been back for several days but she didn't go home.
Selena did not think too much about it. She handed the phone in her hand to her and said, "Take a look at this."
Everleigh took it over and glanced at the news. Trevino Group had officially become one of the top 20 companies in Ocpeace City.
"How long has it been?"
Selena smiled and said, "This is all thanks to Alastair and Leon. Dad said that these projects were all chosen by them. In the end, Dad has made a lot of money."
Everleigh chuckled, "It looks like it's time to celebrate. My treat."
"Well, it should be Leon's treat, but since you said so, then it's your treat," Selena said with a smile. There was deep joy in her eyes.
Everleigh smiled and said nothing. It was just a meal, and it was a celebration for them anyway.
Meanwhile, Theodore was looking at the information on the computer. His expression was stern and anger could vaguely be seen burning in his deep gaze.
His hand, which was holding the mouse, moved a little bit faster.
Moses, who was standing on the side watching him, saw the change in his expression. He lowered his head so much that he wanted to hide in a hole.
"Mr. Godfrey, what should we do now..."
"Continue to keep an eye on him. Tell me if there's anything," Theodore instructed coldly.
"Yes, sir."
The next day, Wilson didn't come to work, which made Xavier feel very suspicious. How could someone like him not come to work? There must be a reason behind it.
"Yantsey, go check out what Wilson has done."
"Yes." Yantsey turned around and went out to investigate.
Xavier sat on a chair, turned his head, and looked at the scenery outside. He was deep in thought.
After a while, Yantsey came back, holding some information, and said, "Mr. Godfrey, take a look."
Seeing the words on the file, Xavier's hands were shaking with anger. Wilson was really up to no good.
He actually sold the shares of Godfrey Group to outsiders.
Wasn't that the same as handing over the shares of Godfrey Group to others?
"Where is Wilson?"
"I don't know where he has gone but his secretary said that he will come back tomorrow." Xavier tossed the documents to the side. He was so angry that his whole body was shaking. If he sold all the shares, how could he have the guts to come back to the company?
If Grandma was still alive, she would never let this happen.
"Mr. Godfrey, what should we do next?" Yantsey asked. He was also angry. He knew that the Godfrey family were the only ones that held the company's shares. Once it was sold to the others, it would mean that they were letting outsiders obtain internal information of Godfrey Group.
This was basically putting a mouse in the cheese container, wasn't it?
"Go and find out who's holding the shares." Xavier knew that he wouldn't be able to get the shares back.
However, he had no choice but to give it a try.
Yantsey had looked into it clearly. "It's in the hands of the Laneigh family abroad."
"The Laneigh family?" Xavier asked in confusion. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out who they were.
In the end, Yantsey reminded him, "It's Maverick."
Xavier had heard of him. He heard that he was quite powerful abroad, but he didn't really know who he was.
"Give me all the information." He wanted to try and see if he could have a productive conversation with this guy.
He was even more furious. Wilson must have a death wish. How could he do such a thing?
He fully intended on angering Xavier.
Later in the afternoon, Xavier received a call. It was from a strange number. He frowned, pondered for a moment, and picked it up.
"Hello."
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Godfrey. My name is Maverick Laneigh. I believe that you know me."
Xavier was stunned. He didn't expect that Maverick would call him. "Mr. Laneigh, why are you calling me?"
"Mr. Godfrey, if you're free, I'll go to you. We can talk about the shares," Maverick said in a clear and calm voice.
Xavier had the same idea. "Okay."
Maverick didn't answer and hung up the phone directly. He got out of the car and looked at the building in front of him. Then, he smiled and walked inside.
He walked to the front desk and knocked on the table. "Hello, Miss. Please tell Mr. Godfrey that Mr.
Laneigh is looking for him."
Seeing Maverick's expression, the receptionist picked up the phone and dialed Yantsey's number. "Mr. Long, a man called Mr. Laneigh is here to see Mr. Godfrey."
Yantsey was stunned. He paused for a moment and said, "Let him in."
"Yes." After saying that, the receptionist hung up the phone. She looked at Maverick and said, "Sir, this way, please."
Maverick was not in a hurry. He nodded and followed her to the door of Xavier's office. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
"Mr. Laneigh, please come in."
When Maverick walked in, he saw Xavier sitting in a wheelchair staring at the scenery outside the window. Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, he snapped back to reality. Turning his head, he saw Maverick dressed in a black suit, and his tall figure carried a hint of arrogance.
His aura was very similar to Theodore's.
"Mr. Laneigh, you've been here for a long time, haven't you?"
"Yes, I just wanted to ask if you, Mr. Godfrey, want to see me. If you're angry, I won't come in," Maverick said with a smile.
Xavier looked at him and said with a forced smile,
"Mr. Laneigh, are you testing me?" "Your father sold the shares to me. Wouldn't you be angry?" Maverick stared at him with a very understanding look.
Xavier gripped the handle of the wheelchair in his hand. He realized that this kid was really in need of a spanking.
Maverick ignored the anger in his eyes and turned around to glance at Yantsey who was still standing aside. "Are you going to let your man stay here and listen to our conversation?"
Yantsey knew that they had something to say so he did not stay any longer. He turned around and left.
"Tell me, what's your purpose?"
"Don't you want to buy it back?"
"You're selling it?" Xavier asked in surprise.
Maverick shook his head. "How is that possible? I used to stay abroad and rarely come back here. Now that I have this opportunity to expand my business here at home, how can I miss it?"
Xavier felt that this b*stard needed an even worse spanking when he heard his words.
"You..."
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. The reason why I came here today was that your big brother had instructed me to come and see you." Maverick waved his hand, showing a hint of playfulness.
Xavier was stunned. Theodore instructed him to do so?
"What does this matter have to do with my big brother?
"Your brother already knew when your father sold his shares."
