A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 196

Liam had no idea what happened to her again, he could only domineeringly hold her hand and forcibly take her back to Brooks’s family.

The morning newspaper revealed the news on The Rowland Group’s press conference.

The reporters immediately started to change their opinion. They were still criticizing yesterday but it all became compliments today, the crisis was considered solved temporarily.

Peter looked at the newspaper with a sharp look while squinting his eyes. He sure did underestimate William Rowland. It seemed like he needed to carry on to the next step of his plan.

The Sutton family.

Before he came back home, William made sure the company’s crisis had been solved and the morning stocks had opened in the early mornings.

He was really tired.

The moment he stepped into the door of the Sutton family, Sherry immediately approached him, “Did you stay up all night?”

“Daddy!”

“William!”

Even the two kids were running towards him.

William squatted down and hugged the two kids at the same time, “All of you seem to be really worried about me, should I feel honored?”

“William, did you stay up all night?” Daniel Murray’s tiny palm gently touched William’s face, “You have bloodshot eyes!”

“Uhm, I am a little busy!” William pleasedly stared at Daniel who was considerate.

“Daddy, go have a sleep!” Samuel Rowland concernedly said.

Sherry did not have a good rest all night as well. She was worried about the company’s incident and Darcy Mclean might make things more difficult. She was finally relieved when she saw the morning gossip news and newspaper.

“I want to bring you guys back home!” William said.

“Back home?” Sherry was stunned, “But aren’t we hiding from Darcy?”

“Sherry…” William took a glance at the kids, “You guys go play, daddy has something to discuss with mommy!”

“Ok!” The two kids immediately went to watch TV.

“What is it?” Sherry felt distressed when she saw his bloodshot eyeballs. He really stayed up too long.

“Darcy committed suicide yesterday!” William said.

“Oh my gosh!” Sherry exclaimed, “Why would she do that?”

“I am bringing you guys back to Rowland’s mansion. There is also something I need to discuss with dad! I will tell you later!”

Sherry did not ask any further, “Ok, I will pack our things now and follow you back to your home!”

Rowland’s mansion.

William changed to his casual wear after a bath. It outlined his tall, straight, and slim body with his gorgeous and elegant character.

Mrs. Howe had prepared some food. After having a simple breakfast, he followed John Rowland to the study room.

“Have you taken care of everything for the company?” John asked.

“Dad! I can only say it will be no big deals temporarily!” William replied, “But I will handle everything nicely! You don’t have to worry about it!”

“So there are a lot of undercurrent turbulences?”

“No, I just don’t want to lose him so I have to indulge him temporarily. I hope he knows he is wrong and returns back to the right track!” William said.

John took a deep stare at his own son, mixed emotions were flickering in his eyes, “You are just as kind as your mother, you always forbear your friends!”

“Dad, you know who is it?” William questioned.

John sighed deeply, “If you guys are not friends, will you still be so merciful? You can handle the company’s issues on your own, I want to play chess with Dan!”

He did not say any more things and left the study room to find his two grandkids, “Dan, Sammy!”

“John!”

“Grandpa!”

William shook his head while listening to his children’s immature voice, he then let out a sincere smile. His father appeared to compliment him just now, it seemed like he had never complimented him before.

After knowing Darcy’s death, Sherry felt extremely sorry for her. Darcy was still so young. Even when she had done something wrong, Sherry still could not help but sympathize with her. She sighed deeply as she was in William’s room. All of a sudden, there was a picture that attracted her attention.

That was a picture of William wearing a basketball suit, he was turning back over while smiling. She flinched immediately when she saw that picture.

She reached her hand and took the picture on the bookshelf. She could not resist and started touching the picture gently with her hand. It was her school, the background in the picture was her school. Everything in this picture was so familiar to her, even the back view was so familiar. All those years, the handsome face that she always could not see properly from far away was actually William.

Her crush that she barely got to catch a glimpse of, her crush when she just began to understand love in puberty was actually William. That person was actually William. ‘This should be the time when he was around the age of eighteen or nineteen, right?’ Her heart was pounding, the door was opened at the very moment!

Sherry turned back aggressively with her hand holding the picture frame and subconsciously hid it to her back. But it did not escape William’s sharp eyesight, he raised his eyebrow and stared at her, “What is going on?”

Her heart was pounding as if it was going to explode.

William was curious and approached her, “What is it in your hand?”
