Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

"The finance department gave you the money without my approval. It seems like such a person shouldn't be kept around. You're just a shareholder, not the president. There are many things which you don't have the right to interfere with," Xavier said bluntly while pressing the call button on his phone. "Fire the managers of the finance department and the design department. In the future, no one is allowed to transfer money without my approval." Wilson slapped the table angrily, "How dare you!"

"Do you think that I can't get back the money you've taken away? In your eyes, I'm just the son muddling my way through life." Xavier voiced Wilson's thoughts with a single sentence.

Wilson's face was cold, and for a moment, he did not know how to answer.

"Don't worry, the best is yet to come," Xavier said knowingly.

Wilson did not understand what he meant.

Soon after, the door of the office was pushed open, and Zeeman along with Fraden, the finance manager, walked in.

As if begging for mercy, they said, "Mr. Godfrey, we know we're in the wrong. Please give us a chance."

"We won't do it again."

"When you handed money privately to Mr. Wilson, why didn't you think that this day would come? Do you think I didn't know that the both of you were his people when you joined the company?" Xavier looked at the three of them with a cold smile.

Fraden and Zeeman's faces were stiff, and they did not dare to look him in the eyes.

They had been in the company for more than ten years. At that time, he had not been this way. It was logically impossible for a child to know so many things.

"Now, you're just slinging mud at me. I left Godfrey Group a long time ago. How could anyone here have a good relationship with me?" Wilson said in a low voice, with no emotions in his eyes.

He would not agree with him.

The corners of Xavier's mouth twitched. He used his eyes to signal Wilson to look at the two people begging for mercy. Wilson turned around and saw that guilt was written clearly on their faces. No matter what he said, their behavior at that moment could not be changed.

"Stop denying it. You think I don't know what kind of plans you have? I'm telling you to your face that from now on, anyone who isn't loyal to Godfrey Group can get out." Xavier leaned back in his chair, his expression indicating that he was not joking in the slightest bit.

Wilson knew that he would take action, but he did not expect it to be so soon.

Before he could speak, Xavier said to Fraden directly, "You transferred the money without my approval. From now on, you're to get back the fifty million dollars, or I'll get the Commercial Crimes Department involved. As for whether or not you continue working in this company, it's up to your performance."

Fraden became anxious upon hearing that people from the Commercial Crimes Department would come over, "No... Mr. Godfrey, I was wrong. Please don't do that, seeing as how I've worked for Godfrey Group for so many years..."

"Do you need me to tell you what you've done these past few years? I heard that you slept with a girl to gain status. It must feel good to get both the beauty and the wealth, doesn't it?" Xavier said lightly, but the evidence was already thrown in front of Fraden, he could not refute even if he wanted to.

Fraden was dumbfounded. Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that Xavier had been keeping an eye on him for more than a couple of days.

"If you can't get the fifty million dollars within ten days, you'll be going to jail." Xavier's attitude changed abruptly, and he glared at him.

Fraden felt a chill run down his spine, and he slumped onto the ground. The manager of the design department, on the other hand, dared not say anything. If Xavier was to reveal anything unpleasant about him, it would not be of any use even if he tried to argue.

How could Xavier not know what Zeeman had done? But if he was smart, he would know what to do.

If he did not know, Xavier would not have kept him around.

...

Meanwhile, Theodore was sitting in his study. Through the surveillance camera, he could clearly see what Xavier had done.

In fact, the office should not have cameras installed, but he insisted on doing so. Not only was it to prevent people from stealing their confidential documents, it was also to monitor Wilson.

As a result, he got the unexpected pleasure of witnessing such an interesting scene.

Wilson gave the money to the Chadwick Group just to give himself an advantage. Chadwick Group had long been an empty shell. If it had not been for Wilson's support, they would have disappeared long ago. Perhaps the chairman of Chadwick Group had already changed his last name to Godfrey.

Theodore took out his phone and called Moses, "Keep an eye on Fraden and see who he gets in touch with."

"Okay. By the way, Mr. Godfrey, those goods have arrived. Should I get them installed now?" At that very moment, Moses was staring at the goods in the warehouse.

"Install them. It won't be long before they're going to be of use." Theodore's eyes flickered, his gaze leaping with anticipation.

He was looking forward to seeing Wilson's expression when he found out what he had prepared.

Hanging up the phone, Theodore looked at the time and figured that it was almost time. He picked up his coat, and went to pick up Everleigh and the two kids.

A seafood restaurant had just opened by the port, and the seafood they served were sourced directly from the sea. Because of that, the price was relatively high, and the meals were not cheap.

"Wow, Daddy, it's so beautiful here." Adrienne sat at the open-air area of the restaurant and took in the seaside view.

The darkness of the night caused the lights in the distance to form long, snake-like figures. The sea breeze blew over them, and anyone who was stressed out would be eased by the calming sound of the waves. A sense of peace and calm poured in.

"I'll take you to collect seashells later." Theodore smiled at her.

When she heard that, Adrienne's eyes lit up. Back when she was abroad, she had asked Christopher to take her to collect seashells, but it was in the daytime, so the atmosphere was different.

"Why would you go collect seashells when it's getting dark?" Everleigh asked in confusion.

The darker it was, the harder it would be to find them.

"Look." Theodore pointed downwards. The area was almost completely lit, as if the sun was slowly rising.

"Why didn't I see that just now?"

"This restaurant is open for 24 hours, and their full range of services is one of their specialties. The lighting will gradually change; watch it change to a different color later." As soon as Theodore finished speaking, the lights changed color. The blue light resembled a night sky, which was especially apparent with the long, looming corridor.

Adrienne got even more excited. When the food was served, she ate with delight, and Alastair peeled shrimp for her without any sign of impatience.

She was buzzing with anticipation. After they finished eating, she rushed down with Alastair to collect seashells.

When they went down, she even waved to them, telling them not to worry.

Everleigh waved back, signaling for them to go ahead and have fun.

"Everleigh, our plan is about to start. The equipment has arrived."

Hearing Theodore's words, she was stunned for a moment. Then, she smiled and said, "Didn't you say that you would wait for a while?"

"The plan has changed. We have no choice but to move forward," he replied in a deep voice.

If Wilson had not messed with her, he would not have been eager to start either.

Over the years, Wilson had never given up on Godfrey Group. Xavier was depressed and did not know what he had done.
