The Heiress Who Took Revenge
Eliza shook her head and said, “It's precisely because I know Tyson isn't clean that I asked Halbert and you all to help keep a close eye on him.” Lewis said, “The Foster family has also been very close to Tyson recently.” At the mention of the Foster family, Eliza fell silent. Although they had formed a temporary alliance with Henry a while ago, now that the matter was over, they were ultimately bound to end up on opposing sides. Meanwhile. Henry had been invited to Tyson's office. Tyson smiled faintly and said, “Mr. Foster should know what I wanted to talk about when I called you here. Is it about that aunt of mine? I’m truly powerless. My father wants to protect her, and there’s nothing I can do. Wendy has no value left to be used. Keeping her is just a ticking time bomb for you. It would be better to do as I suggested and get rid of Wendy. Right now, she has taken all the blame upon herself, but if she flips one day, it will be a devastating disaster for the Foster family.” Tyson couldn't find an opening. The only opening was Henry. If Henry was willing to help, Wendy would have no escape this time. Tyson said unhurriedly, “You and I both know that Wendy still has many unexcavated secrets. These secrets cannot see the light of day. The Foster family allied with me. If I fall, I’m afraid the Foster family won’t meet a good end either. Besides, I remember back when you hadn't yet consolidated your power, Mr. Foster, this aunt of yours was always making trouble for you. Even the woman you liked was persuaded to leave by her.” “What you’re saying sounds very reasonable, Mr. Hayes.” Henry leaned back on the sofa and said, “I’m also thoroughly disgusted with this aunt of mine, but I can't help it. My father is set on this, and it’s hard to change his mind. Why don’t… you make the move, Mr. Hayes, and I’ll open a convenient door for you?” “Oh?” “You know it’s hard to defy a father’s wish. I can’t let my father think I’m the kind of person who won’t even spare his own aunt. So, you’ll have to be the one to make the move. I can, however, pull my men back and create an opening for you. But I can't help you with Nolan and Eliza’s people.” Henry added, “If this is successful, you’ll owe me a favor, Mr. Hayes, and our cooperation can continue smoothly. Right?”Tyson seemed to be carefully considering Henry’s words. What Henry said wasn't unreasonable. In fact, this was already the biggest concession he could make. After all, it was about killing his own aunt. It truly wasn't appropriate for Henry to do it himself. It required an outsider like him to handle it. “Alright. I will consider this matter and give you an answer within a day.” When Julio, standing to the side, saw that Tyson only intended to consider it and hadn't agreed, he couldn't help but want to speak. But Henry had already stood up. “Let’s leave it at that, then. I’ll wait for your news.” After speaking, Henry left Tyson's office. Watching Henry leave, Julio asked in confusion, “Cramer is pressing us from overseas. Why do you still need a day to consider, Mr. Hayes?” “This kid is even more cunning than his father. He’s letting me do all the dirty work. I’m afraid it’s a setup.” Tyson’s long, narrow eyes narrowed dangerously. Without knowing if Henry was truly on his side, Tyson didn't want to take the risk. “I asked you before to check what this kid has been up to lately, and his contact with Eliza and Nolan. How is that investigation going?” “I’ve already had people investigate thoroughly. Our men have been positioned around Henry these past few days and haven't found anything abnormal. He's had no regular contact with Eliza or Nolan. The only time was the day Wendy returned to Westbrook; the three of them met once at the hospital. The security at the hospital is tight, so we couldn't find out anything, but it looks like their relationship has clearly cooled.” Hearing what Julio said, Tyson relaxed. In this world, relationships are the least reliable things. After Henry betrayed them like that, there's no way Eliza and Nolan wouldn't be on guard against him. The three of them are just putting on a superficial act for each other. There’s likely no real friendship left. “Go arrange for our people. This afternoon, notify Henry. Tell him to pull his men from the hospital in three days, on the day of Eliza and Nolan’s engagement party. That’s when our people will go in.”“Yes.” Julio quickly exited. Tyson glanced at the invitation sitting in front of him. Although he didn’t know what Eliza and Nolan were really planning, he was more than willing to play along with their show. In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
