Kenneth felt somewhat uncomfortable after hearing Lady Wilson’s words, and he could only sigh as he said, “Wow. This is too much. I really cannot believe that there are such unscrupulous children and grandchildren nowadays!”
Lady Wilson wiped the tears from her eyes before she looked at Kenneth and pleaded, “Chairman Wilson, you are the chairman of Modestway Group. If you would be willing to help us, the Wilson family will definitely be able to make a comeback…”
”Oh…” Kenneth smiled awkwardly before he said, “Well, to be honest, I have to be very prudent when it comes to investing. First of all, I would have to look at the specific condition of the Wilson Group, and I would have to determine if there is any value in investing in the company. After that, I would have to determine how much money I want to invest in the company and how long it would take before I can get my investment back. I can only decide whether to invest in the Wilson Group after considering all of those options.”
Lady Wilson knew the mess that the Wilson Group was currently in. Moreover, based on their current situation, no one would possibly want to invest in the Wilson Group at all.
Why would they do so? It would be useless for them to invest tens of millions of dollars in the Wilson Group. After all, if Emgrand Group had chosen to blacklist the Wilson Group, no one else would want to cooperate and work with the Wilson Group anyway.
Moreover, the Wilson Group was involved in renovation and refurbishment works. This kind of business required other people’s cooperation with them. If everyone refused to work with them, they would only be an idle company with nothing to do at all.
Hence, based on the current situation, no one would invest in the Wilson Group unless it was a fool who had no better place to spend their money.
Lady Wilson could tell that Kenneth was an extremely shrewd man, and he would never be willing to help them out unless he could get something in return.
Thus, Lady Wilson thought for a moment before she said, “Chairman Wilson, why don’t we do this instead? Since you are already in Aurous Hill and since we are family as my husband is also connected to your father, I feel that we should try to communicate more and try to get to know each other better. So, why don’t you stay at the Wilson family villa while you are here in Aurous Hill?”
Kenneth thought for a moment before he replied, “Well, I am still an outsider after all. Wouldn’t it be a little inconvenient for me to live in your house? After all, Miss Wendy would also be here…”
In fact, an old fox like Kenneth knew exactly what he was doing. Therefore, he had also thought everything through before he spoke.
If he asked Lady Wilson directly whether Wendy would also be living here, he would reveal his true intentions immediately.
However, if he phrased his question to make it sound as though he did not want to be of an inconvenience to Wendy, he would be able to get an indirect answer from the old woman.
If Lady Wilson said that he did not need to worry because Wendy would not be staying here, it would be pointless for him to stay here, and he would decline her invitation immediately.
However, if Lady Wilson said that he would not need to worry since they were family and this would not cause any inconvenience to Wendy whatsoever, this would mean that Wendy was also staying here, and he would accept her offer immediately.
In truth, Lady Wilson knew of Kenneth’s intentions.
The reason why she had invited him to stay at their house for a few days was because she was planning to persuade Wendy and get her to look for an opportunity to get closer to Kenneth.
If everything proceeded as planned, Kenneth would definitely be willing to invest in the Wilson Group.
Kenneth was the chairman of Modestway Group, and if he decided to invest in the Wilson Group, it would not only solve their financial problems, but he would also act as a strong background for the Wilson family. At that time, the Wilson family would be able to return to their former glory!
Lady Wilson smiled before she said, “Don’t worry, Wendy is a very sensible girl. She will definitely welcome you to live in our house. Besides that, even though our villa might be a little old, it is still a standalone villa, and no outsiders will find out that you are living here.”
Kenneth relaxed immediately before he nodded and said, “Then, I will accept your kind invitation. I also have some business that I have to deal with in Aurous Hill over the next few days. I will take advantage of this opportunity to get to know you and your family better before I consider whether I want to invest in the Wilson Group or not!”
“Okay!” Lady Wilson smiled excitedly. “That’s great. I will get someone to clean up the guest room now.”
After that, Lady Wilson lowered her voice before she said, “Chairman Wilson, to tell you the truth, Wendy’s room is right across the guest room that you will be staying in. Please do not hesitate to look for her if you need anything.”
Kenneth was extremely excited when he heard this.
Perfect!
The old lady had really planned everything out for him!
Even though he had plenty of money and no shortage of women around him, if he messed around outside, his wife would definitely find out about it.
However, if he stayed at the Wilson family villa, and if anything happened between him and Wendy, he did not need to worry about his wife finding out about them!
After all, in her eyes, this was his own family, and he was only here because he wanted to fulfill his father’s dying wish.
Therefore, she would not have any doubts at all!
This was the perfect choice for cheating!
Wendy ran out of the house after getting slapped by Lady Wilson. However, Christopher stopped her before she could run out of the courtyard.
Christopher persuaded her to come back into the house, but she refused to do so. Wendy felt that the reason why she had ended up this way was because of Lady Wilson. If it weren’t for her, would she be in such a miserable state, then?
Thus, Wendy was very angry at this time and wanted to run as far away from home as she possibly could.
However, she dispelled that idea when she heard her father’s words.
At this time, Christopher said earnestly, “Wendy, where are you going to go if you run away from home? You don’t even have a job, and you will have nowhere to live outside! After all, you are a girl, and it is impossible for you to go out to work so that you can rent a place to live now, right? I know that your grandma is wrong, but what else can we do besides sticking to your grandmother? After all, she is still the head of the Wilson family!”
Wendy was silent for a moment as she mulled over her father’s words.
Sure enough, if she decided to leave the Wilson family villa, she would have nowhere else to go. Moreover, Wendy knew that she would definitely be made a laughing stock if the second young lady of the Wilson family was caught wandering on the streets with nowhere to go.
Therefore, she could only say aggrievedly, “Dad! Grandma is just too domineering and authoritative! I cannot tolerate her anymore. Why don’t we move out…”
Christopher sighed before he said, “Move out? If we move out now, we will have nothing left! Your grandmother can only live for a few more years, at most. Once she passes away, the Wilson family villa and the rest of the assets belonging to the Wilson family will belong to us, then. This is our house. If we decide to move out now and your second uncle and his family suddenly decides to move back into the Wilson family villa, wouldn’t we lose everything, then? We will have nothing left if that happens.”
