The Whole World Seems To Be Falling For My Wife

Chapter 12 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."
