Chapter 332
Chapter 332 Blake's POV I didn't waste my time. I met many people. Many of them were Richard's sworn enemies. I wanted to learn more about the things Marc did in the company and the wolf pack.
These people were once the backbone of the royal wolf pack. They all worked for Marc. After Richard took over the company, he found all kinds of excuses to get rid of these people. The rule of a new manager leading new employees applied to all occasions.
I wanted to use Richard after he got out of prison to investigate the relationship between Marc and him. I | wanted to find some evidence to find out if there was someone behind
Marc's mistakes, A few years ago, I was busy taking over the company and the wolf pack. In addition, Richard was locked up in prison. I had to deal with all kinds of things and I was not in the mood to think about it. Now, Richard had been released from prison, and the company and the wolf pack were stabilized under my control. In addition, I knew the reason for Abigail's departure back then. Whether Marc was framed or not, I had to find out the truth.
When I came out of the restaurant, my face was gloomy. Dowen followed me, not daring to say a word.
Just now, at the dining table, the guys were all talking about one thing. After Marc entered the company, he squabbled with Richard a few times.
Richard wanted to enter the company but was rejected by Marc, Richard looked for Marc many times. Although he did it in private, this already posed a potential danger.
Sitting in the car, I clenched my hands into a fist, wishing to punch Richard's face.
Dowen cautiously followed by my side.
He heard everything those guys said.
Richard used me and Leo to threaten Marc. If I hadn't heard it, I wouldn't have believed that Richard was more vicious and hateful than I thought.
"King Blake, what do you plan to do next? Do you want to treat him to lunch tomorrow?" Dowen was bold to ask this. If Blake had any plans, he had to make preparations as soon as
possible. This was his duty as an assistant.
"Yes!" I replied coldly. 3 The next morning, I gave Richard a call and invited him for lunch. Richard agreed without thinking.
Of course, Emily wasn't the only one with me.
"Richard, please take a seat!" I said politely.
"Blake, I haven't seen you for years.
You looked more mature and charming. No wonder you've enchanted Emily into a love-struck fool," Richard teased.
Emily raised her eyes to look at me before lowering her head shyly and blushing.
"Richard, you're good at jokes. I've always treated Emily like my sister!" | didn't want anyone to misunderstand us.
Emily blushed even more when she heard the word "sister", as if someone had slapped her.
Richard nodded with a smile. "You two are cousins. Although Emily is my adopted daughter and you guys are not related, you are still family!" I sneered in my heart. Since that was the case, why did Richard drug me back then? Was he trying to make people think that I was so despicable that I coveted my sister? This move was rather vicious.
Emily's face turned deathly pale after she heard this, and her hands were
tightly clenched under the table. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
"Indeed, we can't. Our relationship is just like that between Richard and Marc. I'heard from Marc that you two have always been close!" I changed the topic.
Richard's face froze. Although he was still smiling, that smile was forced.
"I feel heartache whenever Marc is mentioned. He has always treated me well, but unfortunately, he is living in seclusion." Richard looked sad.
"Marc said a lot to me before he went into seclusion!" I spoke again.
When I said this, my eyes were fixed on Richard's face, so I caught his calmness that could barely be maintained as well as his trembling.
"Is that so? Did he say anything?" Richard was indeed shrewd. He had such a big heart that he could suppress his fear. He still used a sad expression to cover his true emotions, and he could not help but pick up the cup to cover his uneasiness.
I understood. When a person was nervous and uneasy, he would often use something to cover himself.
Therefore, I believed that Richard had a guilty conscience. Moreover, it was something that made him worry and fear.
I calmly said, "Forget it. It's all in the past. It's good to meet you. Let's talk about something else." Richard tensed up and waited for me to say what I wanted to say. However, I stopped this topic. This made him a
little angry.
"Richard, do you still blame me?" After a while, I spoke again to start another topic.
Richard said with suppressed anger, "1 don't dare to hate you. I know that the mistake I made back then was my doing. Don't feel pressured." I laughed. "I know how you feel. Of course, I won't hold it against you!" Emily's expression kept changing. Five years ago, she was the one who drugged me. Now that I mentioned it in front of her, it made her embarrassed.
Richard reacted quickly and immediately raised his glass.
"Emily, what are you waiting for?
Hurry up and give a toast to Blake and then apologize to him." Richard said to Emily. 5 Emily was taken aback. She quickly raised her glass and looked up at me.
Her voice was soft as she said, "Blake, please forgive me for being reckless back then. Let's drink up and clean the slake!" I took the glass and sipped some wine to show my courtesy.
"Emily, since you've grown up, you won't make the same mistake again. I have to remind you that it's fine to make mistakes when you are young.
But you should never repeat the same mistake after you grow up!" My purpose here was to warn these ambitious family members not to think about taking anything from me.
Emily's hand trembled as a few drops of wine spilled from her cup.
Richard saw her panic and his face darkened.
"Emily, have you had breakfast? You can't even hold the glass steadily.
Hurry up and thank Blake for his lecture," Richard scolded her.
Emily paled in fright. She raised her head and drank all the wine. She whispered, "Thank you for telling me that, Blake. I will keep that in mind!" Dowen, who was eating with me, winked at me. We were certain of one thing. Emily must have had something to do with the leak of information about the company and the wolf pack.
Emily sat down, her hands still trembling.
"Blake, Emerson and Patricia are fine. I plan to go back in a few days to visit them." Richard quickly changed the topic.
I said, "Patricia is in good condition, but Emerson is not as healthy as before. If you care about them, you should go back and visit them more often." "Tam rather ashamed. As a son, I always make them sad and disappointed. I feel ashamed to see them." Richard mocked himself.
"As parents, no matter how big ofa mistake their son made, they won't take it to heart!" I replied.
"That's right, Blake. You've also
become a father. Time flies. Your two children must be cute," Richard said with a smile.
I paused for a moment, but soon, I smiled. "Yes, they are both good kids and bring me lots of joy." "I want to see the two children. When I go back, I will visit them." Richard seemed to be implying something, which made my face sink.
"Okay, when you go back, you will see them!" I was angry inside, but I didn't show it.
"'By the way, what is the name of your wife?" Richard suddenly asked.
The hands I placed by my sides clenched into a fist. From the looks of it, Richard knew well about my weakness.
I smiled. "Her name is Catherine! If there is a chance, I will introduce her to you!" "Catherine. She sounds like a girl with a good personality," Richard said with an envious and emotional tone.
This cunning guy's hypocritical appearance made me nauseous.
However, since we had not fallen out yet, I had to cheer myself up and continue to chat with him.
"She is a good woman and I love her very much!" I said with a smile.
"Emily, you've seen her, right? She must be beautiful!" Richard turned around to ask Emily.
Emily couldn't even force a smile as she mumbled, "Yes. She's gorgeous!"
I frowned. I didn't like people talking about my wife.
Richard nodded and said, "Blake, you and Marc are both loyal to your feelings. At this point, you two are the same. You are both devoted to the ones you love!" When I heard Richard's mocking words, my face almost darkened.
Richard knew that I felt heartache, but he insisted on mentioning it. How cruel of him.
Dowen stood up, took a glass of wine, and smiled. "Richard, this is the first time we have met. I'd like to drink with you." Richard glanced at him with disdain, but the smile on his face remained. He picked up the glass. "Dowen, I have
| heard of your name for a long time.
You are an all-rounder by Blake's side, With a good subordinate like you, his career will soar." Richard deliberately emphasized the word "subordinate".
However, Dowen had a solemn expression as he said, "Working for King Blake is the greatest honor of my life. I could die for him!" When Richard heard this, his face sank.
I was deeply moved by Dowen's words.
"It's so envious to have an assistant like you!" Richard was unconvinced.
This meal was finally over.
When we left the restaurant, we all wore complicated expressions.
Walking out of the building, I took the car and left.
On the way back to the company, my face was still gloomy. The words I heard just now still caused a huge shock to me.
"King Blake. Richard is cunning. I think he is telling you that the two children and Catherine will be your biggest weakness. This guy is rather wicked," Dowen gritted his teeth and said.
"Then, I have to thank him for his reminder!" I sneered.
"Emily was frightened just now," Dowen said.
"I know her, so I know she doesn't
have a strong heart," I said coldly.
"Yes, Emily seemed weak. Can we start with her?" Dowen asked again.
"No!" I replied. "She was raised by Richard. Although she looks harmless, she is a cunning person. She will never betray Richard." Dowen felt that it made sense. He asked again, "King Blake, when are we going back? Tomorrow morning?" "Yes, we've done our task here. We will go back tomorrow morning." I knew that the real battlefield was not here.
Going back was the safest solution. If Richard wanted to take back the management of the company and the wolf pack, he would find an excuse to return.
"Okay!" Dowen nodded.
Back in the office, Dowen asked the last question, "King Blake, did Marc say anything to you before he went into seclusion? I saw that Richard looked uneasy. Did he know that you had already found out about something?" I glanced at Dowen. I trusted him wholeheartedly. That was why I said, "I deliberately said this to find out his reaction. At present, the only thing I know is that he must have something to do with my father's seclusion. I just need to find evidence to prove it!" "It's a great move." Dowen was impressed.
