The fork in Egbert Smith's hand fell, making a shrill sound. But right now, no one cared about the impolite behavior during that meal. Everyone focused their eyes on Erwin. Fear, surprise, even panic.
“What a surprise!” Andy Wilson said wryly, "I thought that surgery..."
Andy didn't say everything, but everyone present understood. He tried to maintain a smile on his lips. He also forgot his original question, the meal was more awkward than ever. Erwin and Frederick didn't mind that, the two of them leisurely ate their dinner.
"Ah, father, if you don't mind, Frederick and I have something to tell you in private!" Erwin wiped his mouth, watched the dessert being served, then spoke to Andy Wilson. Even Erwin emphasized the word "in particular", the deep meaning in his eyes that no one could understand.
For some reason, Andy Wilson shivered, this was finally coming. Last night, he sent followers to country C, to block Erwin's way. Unfortunately, Frederick is too careful. He anticipates everything and safely brings Will's people to B city.
"Wilson, maybe I shouldn't call you 'father' anymore, right?" Erwin said coldly. Previously, his spirit was suppressed because of communication difficulties.
Andy Wilson also realized that until the end he had no advantage. Now, facing both Erwin and Frederick, what else could he say? Andy Wilson tried to appear calm.
"What do you mean?" Andy Wilson asked hoarsely.
Erwin smiled slightly, not answering Andy's question. He played with Frederick's fingers, waiting until Andy Wilson lost his patience. He took a deep breath, finally releasing himself onto the back of his chair.
"Say it!" Andy Wilson knew he had no way back, “What do you want? The stock belongs to us anyway!”
There was a glint of doubt in Erwin's eyes, could it be that even Andy Wilson had never read that will? Are all his actions just in case something unexpected happens? Erwin tilted his head, looked at Frederick, and got the answer in his eyes.
“That year, what did your father say to you?” Erwin asked bluntly.
Andy Wilson paused for a moment, then smiled sarcastically: “Don't you already know it all?”
Erwin raised an eyebrow, indeed he knew the beginning and end of the matter but still wanted to hear Andy Wilson tell the truth from his own mouth. Andy Wilson fiddled with the pen in his hand, lightly recounting what had happened in the past. Not much different from Will's words, Erwin even gave a tired yawn.
"You don't seem to be in the right place, do you?" Erwin calmly asked back.
Andy Wilson paused, sarcastically: “What else can be said? He said, you still have value to use. If you don't consider yourself a boy, you can use it as a chess piece. Ha ha, Erwin, don't you find it ridiculous? In front of you, he pretends to be a gentle, pampering grandfather.”
At this point, Andy gritted his teeth, biting each word one by one: "Behind his back, he plotted for me to torture you, turning you into an obedient puppet."
Frederick gently stroked Erwin's spine. He knew this was not his past, but Erwin would still resent the owner of this body. Sure enough, the anger in Erwin's heart subsided, he looked at Frederick gratefully, using his lips to tell him that he was fine.
“So do you know what was written in that will?” Erwin asked bluntly.
Andy Wilson shook his head, and sighed, this was also his biggest problem. Before his father died, he destroyed the will, even advising Andy Wilson that, when Will appeared later, he must get the remaining will. Unfortunately, Andy Wilson couldn't do it.
Andy Wilson looked at Frederick, his eyes dark. Indeed, in the past, he wanted to take advantage of Frederick Hall's status to support the Wilson family. But in the end, makes it easy for Erwin to escape his control. Who would have thought that Frederick would pamper Erwin so unconditionally?
That he miscalculated, from the very first step. All because he despised Erwin Wilson. Andy Wilson silently waited for the results that Erwin announced.
When Leonard died, he and Wilson made one final sale. Leonard will not denounce Wilson's illegal behavior, on the contrary, Wilson will have to take care of Erwin, and Leonard's previous shares will belong to Erwin. Those shares accounted for 30%, enough to change the situation at that time.
Of course, Wilson refused, but there was nothing he could do. The weakness is in the hands of Leonard, he has no choice, and he compromises. It's just, Wilson was not willing to suffer such resentment, if he now divided the shares to his son, the company would certainly be divided, so it would be impossible to beat the other 30% of the shares.
After thinking for a while, Wilson decided to call Andy Wilson, instructing him to raise Erwin to become a waste. As he wished, Erwin was really weak, because he lacked love and trusted the wrong person. Later, Erwin gave the shares to Hein Wilson. That document number will become valid if the other will does not exist.
"You want to take it back?" Andy Wilson gritted his teeth, this is what he wants to fight for all his life, how could he get into Erwin's hands so easily!
"No!" Erwin shook his head, sharply saying, “I don't need those shares. On the contrary, I can sell you cheap. But I will take back the fortune that Leonard left.”
Leonard's fortune is not a small amount, even with that amount, Erwin can live a carefree life. And when Andy Wilson heard that, his face turned blue and white. That money was soon shared by the Wilson family after his father's death. At present, Erwin wants to claim him and is not able to fully refund him.
“I raised you for all these years, do you still want your money back?” Andy Wilson gritted his teeth, at least he wanted to take advantage of a small amount.
Erwin laughed, “You really raised me, Andy! Not only raised me but raised the whole Wilson family. I guess those people are all Leonard's children, right?"
Being told that by Erwin, Andy Wilson's face turned red. He wanted to say more but was stopped by Frederick's fearful gaze. From the beginning until now, Frederick Hall had always been silent, but now he spoke again.
“Tomorrow, my lawyer will come to work with you. Andy Wilson, I hope you will be wise to listen to your attorney. Otherwise, we'll meet in court!"
This one sentence was enough to threaten him. The evidence related to the company is in Will's hands, of course, it is now in Erwin's hands. Andy Wilson has no choice but to accept this outcome.
Of course, Erwin and Frederick didn't push Andy Wilson too hard, the hot-tempered rabbit would bite people too. Erwin would still give him time to return the assets, not all of them.
Today, Frederick did not call Ned to drive but drove himself. Frederick helped Erwin fasten his seat belt, then stole a kiss on his ear.
"Why haven't I seen Jenny Hall come and bother you anymore?" Erwin was kissed and trembled, he pushed Frederick lightly as if to resist. Erwin was afraid, Frederick could not help but suddenly become interested in the car.
Frederick laughed softly, pinching his hand: “I gave it to someone to handle. Jenny Hall will soon no longer be a Hall member!"
Saying these words, there was no warmth left in Frederick's eyes. Erwin knew he was missing his biological mother, but that was no reason for Frederick to soften. He let go of Erwin's hand, started the car, and headed home.
“I let her leave B city.” Frederick did not specify who she was, but Erwin understood.
Erwin nodded slightly, tilting his head to look at the night scene. Suddenly, the headlights of the car hit Erwin's eyes. In an instant, Erwin unbuckled his seat belt and leaped into the driver's seat, clutching Frederick's head.
In the chaos, Erwin felt his ears ringing.
Fuck, you seem to have forgotten the end of the plot!
There was only one thought in Erwin's mind, Frederick can't be hurt!
During the night, a truck ran a red light, causing a series of accidents on the main road. Fortunately, no one died, but two people were stabbed directly, had to be hospitalized, and one person was in critical condition.
The news hit the headlines in just half an hour, but by the next morning, no one knew who the injured person was. Paul wiped the sweat from his forehead, after receiving an emergency call from last night, he immediately bought all the news that the media wanted to publish.
As soon as news of Frederick's accident leaked out, the company's stock would fluctuate greatly. Paul needed to make sure that before Frederick was discharged from the hospital, there couldn't be any conflicting news.
Dylan Johnson received word from Paul and rushed to the hospital. Frederick had no one else he could trust at this time, except him. When Dylan Johnson arrived, Frederick was already sitting in front of the emergency room. Suddenly, Dylan Johnson felt the scene extremely familiar.
Not long ago, Frederick was also sitting outside the emergency room waiting in panic. Both times involved the same person, Erwin.
