Then, Kenneth took out a high-end jewelry box from his pocket and handed it over to Lady Wilson, saying, “My father passed this to me on his deathbed and told me that I had to deliver this to his savior no matter what. Since Lord Wilson has already passed away, I will just hand this over to you instead, Lady Wilson.”
Lady Wilson thought that Kenneth’s father must have planned to give her a rare treasure to thank the old man for saving his life.
Therefore, she quickly opened the jewelry box excitedly and looked inside the jewelry box.
However… it turned out to be a rusty bullet!
What the hell was this?!
Lady Wilson stared at Kenneth before she asked, “Chairman Wilson, this is…”
Kenneth hurriedly replied, “This is the bullet that hit my father’s leg back then. His savior used a pocket knife to dig it out of his leg, and my father had been keeping it with him ever since that day. Before he passed away, he told me to pass this to his savior as a keepsake.”
Lady Wilson almost cursed out loud.
What the heck?!
Her husband had saved his father’s life, and all his father had wanted to give him was a rusty old bullet to commemorate that day?!
Was this how they were going to repay his kindness?!
This rusty old bullet was not even worth a single penny! Moreover, it had also entered a human body before. Why was Kenneth giving her this useless item?! He might as well reward them with eighteen million dollars so that they could tide through the difficulties they were facing now!
As she thought about this, Lady Wilson heaved a huge sigh of relief before saying, “I really did not expect your father to be such a kind and righteous person. I guess if he found out that our Wilson family is now facing a crisis, he would definitely offer us a helping hand, right?”
Kenneth was startled by this. A poor relative was indeed a poor relative. They had just met and she was already trying to ask him for money?!
However, since he was here to help the old man reciprocate his good wishes, he did not want to be rude to Lady Wilson. Thus, Kenneth asked, “Lady Wilson, I wonder what huge crisis your family has encountered?”
Lady Wilson quickly replied, “We own a company engaging in construction and refurbishments called the Wilson Group. Our business was booming, but we are currently experiencing a problem in our capital chain, and our company is going bankrupt. It would be great if we had some money to pull through these tough times.”
Kenneth nodded slightly before he smiled and said, “Lady Wilson, you look like a very blessed person. Don’t worry too much! I believe that the Wilson family will surely have good luck to pull through this crisis!”
Lady Wilson genuinely wanted to curse at Kenneth after listening to his words.
The reason why she had told him about their family crisis was that she wanted him to feel grateful toward her and offer to give them some money to pull through the crisis. After all, his father owed her husband a huge favor for saving his life! Shouldn’t he repay his kindness with something more valuable instead?
In the end, all Kenneth said was that she looked like a blessed person and that the Wilson family would surely be able to survive this crisis!
If it weren’t for his distinguished status and identity, Lady Wilson would have already slammed Kenneth’s face against the bench!
Just then, Kenneth could not help but look at Wendy who still had a desperate and pitiful expression on her face. He smiled before he said, “Lady Wilson, it seems as though you have not introduced the other members of your family to me?”
Lady Wilson looked toward the direction that Kenneth was looking at, and based on the expression on his face, she could immediately tell that he was interested in Wendy.
Right then and there, Lady Wilson suddenly had an idea.
As she thought about it, she hurriedly introduced Christopher as she said, “This is my eldest son, Christopher.”
Kenneth nodded slightly at Christopher, but he did not seem interested in him at all.
Then, Lady Wilson introduced Harold to him. “Chairman Wilson, this is my grandson, Harold.”
Harold greeted him in a hurry, “Hello, Chairman Wilson! Please take good care of me in the future!”
Kenneth simply nodded and kept his eyes on Wendy even though Lady Wilson had not introduced her to him at all.
At last, Lady Wilson smiled as she introduced Wendy to Kenneth. “Chairman Wilson, this is my granddaughter, Wendy.”
At this, Kenneth heaved a huge sigh of relief.
This was his first time visiting the Wilson family, and he was initially worried that Wendy would turn out to be Harold’s wife. If that was the case, he would not have a chance to proceed with his plan at all.
However, when he heard that she was also a member of the Wilson family, Kenneth suddenly felt a fire burning in his heart.
Even though Wendy was not the most beautiful person in the world, she was still a beauty. Otherwise, Gerald from the White family would not have been interested in her in the first place.
It was truly a pity that Wendy had always lived in the shadow of Claire, who was one of the top beauties in the Wilson family and also in Aurous Hill. Therefore, Wendy had had no opportunity to stand out at all.
However, now that Claire was not around and since Wendy’s eyes and nose were red because she had been crying, this really ignited the desire for a man to protect and care for her.
When Lady Wilson saw that Kenneth was interested in Wendy, she hurriedly said, “Chairman Wilson, Wendy is already twenty-four years old this year and is still single. If you know of any suitable young men, please introduce him to Wendy.”
In truth, Lady Wilson was not hoping for Kenneth to introduce someone to Wendy. She was simply trying to tell Kenneth that her granddaughter was still single, and he still had a chance to try and get her if he wanted to!
Kenneth was especially tempted by this.
He was already getting older, and his wife was also aging. He had already lost interest in his wife ever since a long time ago.
