If It's Not Me

Chapter 31 Leave the Position for Her

"Janice? What's wrong?" Nelson asked her with concern. The woman shook her head and answered smilingly, saying that it was nothing. When she turned around again, the figure had already disappeared. Hmm? Was I mistaken? She felt that it was impossible for Daniel to be here as well. After some thought, she entered the building with Nelson. Once Daniel left, William returned to his office after giving his instructions to Kyle. The first thing he did was to call Edgar to report everything he knew, including Daniel's relationship with Janice. Edgar answered calmly on the other side of the phone, "Alright, I got it. You just need to agree to all of Mr. Hardon's requests." "Understood," William replied to him respectfully. After hanging up the phone, Edgar walked out of the house to the garden outside. The sound of birds chirping could be heard, and there was a fragrant scent of flowers in the garden. At the same time, there was a rocking chair under the shade. A gray-haired old man was lying with his eyes closed, and his dry palms were tapping the back of the chair slowly and rhythmically, looking very relaxed. "Mr. Graham, there's news about Mr. Hardon," Edgar walked up to the old man and said respectfully. "What is it?" Cyrus rocked the bamboo chair lightly without opening his eyes. Edgar began to relay William's account. When Cyrus heard everything, the ease on his face was still as usual without any changes. "Edgar, why do you think Daniel would become a fake husband and a fake father for someone else?" Only Cyrus would call Edgar by his name. Edgar answered immediately, "I don't think Mr. Hardon is the type of man who will lower his status to approach someone on purpose just to go after a woman." As he said that, he paused a little before he continued, "There is still no woman in this world who deserves such treatment from Mr. Hardon." When he finished, Cyrus chuckled while he lay in the rocking chair. He said slowly, "Are you saying that he wouldn't do it for a woman, but he'd approach someone because of a child?" "That's not what I mean," Edgar bowed a little and said with a smile. "Indeed, he's giving me such a big surprise. Since the wealthiest person in Northland hasn't been decided yet, let's send William over there. We'll leave Southland's position to my great-granddaughter's mother." Cyrus spoke as though it was nothing serious. However, if an outsider heard him, it would definitely cause an uproar—he had the ability to decide on the wealthiest person in both Northland and Southland with just a few words. It was obvious that he had so much power in his hands. On the other hand, after William hung up the phone, the receptionist knocked on the door. "What's the matter?" "The son of the Gray Family is on the guest list. Do you want to meet him?" Willian waved his hand and said, "No, ask him to leave." The Gray Family was a family from Atlasdam. Obviously, they had come to Goldshore to get a piece of the Sky Project, slowly paving their way to become one of Goldshore's powerful forces. Although he had some connections with the Gray Family's head, it wasn't to the point where he'd want to meet such a junior. However, he didn't know about Nelson and Janice's relationship, and he was unaware if Nelson had some sort of connection to Daniel. As such, he thought about inviting them up to probe the two. "Okay." When the receptionist retrieved the guest list, William took a peep subconsciously. When he saw Janice's name behind Nelson's, his pupils shrunk slightly. "Wait!" He stopped the receptionist and took a closer look at the guest list. When he made sure that it was Janice's name, he changed his mind and said, "Invite them up immediately. Quick!" The receptionist was confused by William's sudden change of mind, but she still followed his order nonetheless. Janice, who had been waiting downstairs, was surprised to hear that William had agreed to meet them. Meanwhile, a proud look could be seen on Nelson's face, and he said, "Look—Mr. Hayes has some connection to my family, so it's not a problem for you to meet him. I can't guarantee if you'll land the deal, though."
