Chapter 339
Gavin closed his eyes after listening to Arthur's report, and the room fell into a dead silence.
After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "She's the eldest daughter of the Saunders family! It turns out that she's related to us!
"Yes! What are you going to do now?" Arthur asked.
"Archer doesn't know about this, right?"
"That doesn't seem likely! Otherwise, how could he not ask about it?" Arthur guessed.
"She's now in love with the Howard family's son?"
"Yes! They're even living together! They love each other very much!" He nodded.
"We can't let them be together!" Gavin said slowly, "We must find ways to separate them!"
"I think that would be difficult.You've seen Mr.Howard.Who can resist such a handsome face?"
"Then, let's start with Valeria!"
He stood up and paced back and forth in the room.
"I'll bring her home and claim her as the eldest daughter of the Saunders family! This way, William will be her uncle, and they'll definitely break up!"
"I'm just afraid that she won't agree to that!"
He stopped in his tracks.
"Why? With the status of the Saunders family, isn't it better for her to come into our family rather than being alone like she is right now?"
Arthur smiled and replied, "It's indeed an honor to be the eldest daughter of the Saunders family, but you have to consider her feelings too.She hasn't had any interaction with you or Sir Archer, so you're strangers to her.I don't think she would agree to it.Furthermore, she does not lack any money right now"
"Oh, I forgot about that.Then let's think of another way.This was caused by the Howard family, so let Hayden settle it! I'll call him right now and tell him everything about Valeria."
After saying that, he picked up his cell phone.
Just as he was about to call him, he suddenly stopped.
"No, I can't tell Hayden about her identity.If he knows that she is part of the Saunders’ family, he would tell Savannah.It would be bad if Savannah targets Valeria next!"
After saying that, he paced back and forth in the room.
"Why don't we set up a plan and find an opportunity for me to acknowledge her as my goddaughter and bring her back to the Saunders family?"
"That won't do.She's not a child anymore.How can she accept being a goddaughter? Besides, she must suspect that her mother's death has something to do with Savannah, so she'll definitely treat you, Savannah, and Sir Archer as her enemies!"
"If I can't even do that, then what can I do? I'm getting old and my mind is muddled.I'm panicking at every little problem!"
He shook his head and sat down.
"Go and arrange for us to go to B City tomorrow!"
The news of Paxton's death came too quickly.
William felt frustrated and found it hard to fall asleep.
By his side, Valeria was breathing steadily, already in her dreams.
He gently pulled out his hand that was used as her pillow, and he got up to smoke a cigarette on the balcony.
It was late at night, so it was very quiet outside.
He lit his cigarette and took a deep breath.
As he looked at the flashing lights in the distance, he became more and more annoyed.
From having nothing to where he was now, he had always planned well and tried his best to not make any mistakes.
He did anticipate today's problem, but he underestimated the cruelty of human nature. It was out of his expectations for Dixie to kill her own brother.
How could a person be so vicious? Birds of a feather flock together.
If Dixie was already so cruel, how could Savannah be any better? Moreover, Savannah must have played a decisive role in making Dixie kill her own brother.
Before this, he had only been a little suspicious of Savannah.
He felt that she only had the motive to attack Natalie.
But now, Paxton's death confirmed his suspicions towards her because his death was probably to cover up her tracks.
Natalie's death was definitely not the result of Paxton and Julie's greed for money.
Savannah had already successfully separated Archer and Natalie.She was the winner.
Why did she have to kill Natalie who had lost? What on earth was she afraid of? Was she afraid that they would get back together? Or was there some other reason? William frowned and smoked another cigarette.
He remembered what happened to his mother.
He had never seen her before.
When he was a little older and more sensible, a servant told him that his mother had left him when he was born.
His birthday was the day of her death.
Because of this, he never had a birthday party, and Hayden never gave him one either.
Hayden was deeply in love with his wife, so he would think of her whenever it was William's birthday.
His mother's death was kept a secret in the Howard family.
If it weren't for sheer luck, he wouldn't have known that his mother had been murdered.
The person who killed his mother was Natalie.
She pushed his pregnant mother down the steps.
After being sent to the hospital, she couldn't bear the stresses of labor and died.
If it weren't for Natalie doing so, she wouldn't have died from blood loss.
Natalie was the cause of his mother's death.
However, for some reason, Hayden hadn't held her accountable for his mother's death, and the truth was buried peacefully.
William had always been searching for the truth.
With the Howard family's status and Hayden's love for his mother, it was impossible for him to let Natalie go just like that.
Later, when he began to investigate, he learned that Hayden had let her go because of Archer.
Savannah loved Archer and wanted to marry him, but Archer loved Natalie and he wanted to marry her.
Hayden was furious at the death of William's mother, and he was going to punish Natalie for it.
However, Archer took the initiative to see Hayden and promised that he would marry Savannah on the condition that Hayden would give up pursuing Natalie.
Therefore, Hayden had agreed to Archer's condition for the sake of his daughter's happiness.
Savannah got what she wanted and married Archer.
As a result, Natalie was spared from the blame and everything was covered up.
However, William could not accept such a result after he knew the truth! Hayden kept saying that he truly loved his mother and that he was the cause of her death.
After he was sent abroad and disregarded for so many years, William always thought that he was the main cause of her death and he was unable to forgive himself.
After knowing the truth, he thought that it was ridiculous.
How ironic! How could Hayden say that he loved his wife? What kind of love was this? William could not accept that Hayden had decided not to pursue Natalie for Savannah's sake.
He was not so kind, so he had to avenge his mother's death.
He would do what Hayden was unwilling to do.
He must find out what happened back then and give his mother an explanation!Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
