NovelEnglishSure enough, Theo continued, "But from what Keith heard, Dazaray probably has something on William. That's
why he's helping her unconditionally." "They've dated, right?"
Theo raised his eyebrows. "What do you think?"
That must be it. When | first met Dazaray, | thought she looked pretty good, but that must be the result of plastic
surgery. It must have been a long tsince she last fixed her face, so as tpassed, the traces of plastic
surgery on her face grew even more obvious.
Therefore, she had a facelift when she first arrived and stole William's heart. She bechis mistress and made
a lot of money through him. However, she and William later separated, but the two did not break off contact.
Maybe because she had something on him.
"Was William involved in what happened yesterday?"
Now that | knew about her and William's relationship, | had reasons to suspect William.

Theo thought about it and said, "Not possible. He probably doesn't have the guts to get involved. This case is too
complicated. He's someone who cherishes his life."
When we arrived at the hotel entrance and looked inside, we saw a lot of people in the lobby. It seemed like they
were a welcoming team here to welcTheo.
| frowned and asked Theo, "Were you the one who assigned these people here?"
Theo shook his head. "No."
At this moment, a middle-aged man walked out of the hotel. His beer belly was terrifyingly huge. After taking a
closer look, | recognized him to be William.
Theo and | got out of the car. At the sight of Theo, the smile on his face grew even brighter. He trotted up to
shake Theo's hand. "I heard you were holding a bidding session, Mr. Grant. | brought my guys here early this
morning to wait for you. | hope you'll consider companies like ours that are genuinely capable."
This man was still detestable as ever.
| retracted my gaze from his smiling face and took Theo's arm.
William looked atand smiled awkwardly. "It's been a while, Ms. Lane.
You look more and more gorgeous."
The most admirable thing about this man was probably his ability to smile at someone whom he obviously
loathed and flatter them without a single hesitation.
| would never forget what had happened back at the pub, let alone let it drop just like that.
I nodded mildly, then looked elsewhere.
He was not mad when he noticed that | refused to entertain him, so he buttered up Theo incessantly and

Theo did not say a word the whole tand acted very indifferent. He probably did not hear a single word the
man said, which madeeven less inclined to listen. We merely treated him like an annoying fly. After walking
into the hotel, | could not help but mock, "You're really passionate about your work, Mr. Isaac. A boss is
introducing his own company and bidding proposal. Those who have no idea might even think that your
company lacks employees. Oh wait, | seem to have forgotten that this is your wife's company. Why didn't your
wife, the boss of the company, cpersonally? Is she turning her nose up at this tiny and insignificant project
of Grant Corporation?"
If this question was not answered appropriately, then Theo might get offended by it. Hence, Mr. Isaac quickly
explained, "You got the wrong idea, Ms. Lane. My wife just underwent surgery and can't walk yet, so she sent me
here. How can Grant Corporation be involved in a tiny project? It would be a huge honor of mine to be picked by
Mr. Grant for the project."
| snickered. "Is your wife sick? That's understandable, then. Which hospital is your wife in? Can | go and visit her?
You've once... taken good care ofafter all."
